[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Thank you so much Ryan, really super appreciated! I hope Mooer is reading your comment...😀

[@RicMason]

Different Product. The more needs a guitar cable and is more like the Korg Pandora or the rockman. You have to carry around with you with the cable. Plugs just part of your guitar

[@zoeherriot]

@@RicMason well no. They are all headphone practice amps. So they all definitely fit into the same category. The Mooer differences are then a question of whether that is a pro/con for you. But they are basically all filling the exact same niche.

[@RicMason]

@@zoeherriot Your correct, I personally prefer everything wireless. Love wireless Katana Air Headphones but their bulky and 300.00 more. Would like a unit with dual BT to send and receive so I can use my own wireless phones but not sure if Android or iOS can do that yet without conflict. So many options, a great time for gear. Have fun whichever you choose.

[@zoeherriot]

@@RicMason it is indeed a good time for gear. I think this niche, the "practice amp" niche is only going to get bigger in the coming years. It's amazing the sound quality and options we can get out of such a tiny box.

Still loving the Mighty Pro after all these months and great USB audio interface for travelling when combined with iPad Pro.

[@ilqualsiasi]

Ciao Leo, thanks for this video!! Have you ever tried the mooer prime P1? I think a comparison between these devices and the mooer could be interesting... At least, it would definitely be for me 🙂 My best wishes for a great 2023 🤟🤟

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, unfortunately I don't have the P1. I've heard that it does not have stereo fx, therefore the interest in the unit has decreased a lot, but of course if Mooer send me a unit I will try it out. Thank you for your suggestion and I wish the best for 2023!!!

[@jcoulter43]

Wow, both sound great! The NU-X Mighty Pro would be my choice for all the customizable features. Great playing as always. You have such a recognizable style. God bless and rock on 👍🎸😎

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Wow...this is a great compliment! Thank you so much! Yes, these are very useful devices!

[@keithmilne5183]

I think these are both great devices but i have the mustang micro and it suits my purposes perfectly, I have a proper pc setup using neural dsp plugins and an audio interface for my recordings, but that isn't what the mustang is designed for. When i just want to play guitar with great sounds and go anywhere in the house to practice, the mustang does a great job, load a backing track from youtube and play it right into you're headphones with bluetooth and you have an awesome practice tool that sounds great. Loved the video and keep up the great work leo :)

Beautiful guitar play sounds wonderful! Mighty Pro for me

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Thank you!

[@johndescalsota7048]

I have both. Both are really awesome! It's highly recommended than getting one expensive full amplifier if you are using it for practices anyway. You can do a lot with the NUX MPP since it really is a multi-fx (I got the separate chocolate for the footswitch) compared to mustang micro which is an amp due to its heritage. If you are into authentic fender amp sounds no question on what to get, but in saying this the NUX has its own sound that I would say is great in its own way. I love the Friedman (Fireman) sound in NUX. I love the 57 Twin and both 65s of the Mustang. I use these 2 for different guitars due to the tone. I use the MPP with my Silversky while the Mustang or MPP with my Fender Strat.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you so much for sharing your experience with both the unites!

[@lj8549]

Can you expand on the ‘chocolate’ footswitch? How does this integrate with the system and what can it achieve? Thanks!

[@boimesa8190]

How'd you get the chocolate to work with it?

[@Sugrshane]

Love my micro mini

[@SaxJockey]

​​@@SugrshaneThe problem I read was that the Mustang Micro does not remember/save user settings between power off/on? So Amp Model, EQ, Effect and Modify (Effect) are not saved? Maybe Amp Model is remembered?

[@picksalot1]

Regarding Bluetooth, I found this information: "You can stream Bluetooth playback, microphone signal, and guitar signal through USB with OTG onto your mobile device to do livestreaming or making videos." The feature set of the Mighty Plug Pro makes it the clear winner in my opinion. It's impressive how many useful features you get in such a small device! 👍

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you for sharing!!! Yes, I do agree...we have a full rig in such a small device!

[@mCKENIC]

Thank you Leo! I did indeed like the Fender sound but its going to be a MPP upgrade for me because of the customization and the phone/computer app 🙂

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

You are welcome, and thank you for sharing your opinions and findings!!!

[@efeoktay244]

Nu-x is so advanced that they aren't even in the same category. I ordered nu-x. Thank you for the video and nice song.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, you are welcome and thank you for sharing your findings!

[@joek4016]

One of the better sound comparison videos because you clearly took the time to tweek the NUX to emulate the micro patch sounds you were comparing them against rather than just compare stock sounds that sound nothing alike as ive seen other videos do. Although I thought the micro sounded slightly sweeter, it wasnt enough difference to pass up all the other features of the NUX, so its gonna be the NUX for me hands down. Thanks!

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the video and I'm happy to have been of some help with your final decision!

[@gazzyb85]

For me, it's a significant disadvantage that the only way to tweak the NUX is with the app.

[@VanDonis]

I have the mustang micro and love it, When i practice i don't really think about set a sound chain, I just plug and play with the presets that have the mustang micro. But, I'll buy the nux pro the next black friday. Nice video Leo!

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Charlie, thank you for sharing your experience and your findings!

[@martinopinto6323]

Totally agree, the Nux is cool but seems a little too much for me. I mean, cool to have those functions but who really records on holidays?

[@RicMason]

The nux has 7 presets. Press a the big button patch and color changes. Not too complicated. Plus if you get tired of them you can program another seven patches impress the big button.

[@RicMason]

Even a caveman can do it

[@martinopinto6323]

@@RicMason I'm not saying that it's difficult to use, I'm just saying that having yoo many function can be useless as well as even worse than not having them, cause you will spend more time in creating the patch than actually playing

[@chaz__]

Great comparison as always. I think I'm going to pick up the mighty plug when it's available for convenient practice and possibly for taking online lessons. I also see you're using an AZ Prestige. What are they like? I hear they are really excellent guitars. Is the neck easy to play?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you for sharing! Yes, the AZ are nice guitars....I still think that Suhr is vastly superior both in terms of sound and how it feels in my hand, but obviously Suhr guitars are more expensive. Thank you!

[@martinopinto6323]

The thing is, the beauty of those units is their intrinsic plug and play capability. Most of the time you just want to use them to practice without disturbing or on holidays, you don't really want to build a signal chain or got lost into an external app. But this doesn't mean that Fender should not upload its device, moreover the guitar lesson applicability and robustness of the Nux is beautiful!

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Martino, thank you for sharing your opinion and your findings!

[@Crunchabul]

fender for easy plug and play

[@ZombieLincoln666]

Great comparison. Would be nice to also compare them to the Vox Amplug products

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank yo so much, I'm really happy that you like the video! Unfortunately I don't have VOX unit....maybe in the future or if VOX would send me one. THanks!

[@michaelchester3439]

I have used both for several months, and the summary here is very accurate. The one thing that I would say is that the Mustang can be better than the Mighty for those just starting out. The combinations are well thought out. This helps beginners minimise the time spent working out how to get a decent sound. Nux is way better if you know what you are doing or want dry sound and processing options. One annoying thing is that the Nux can sometimes create an annoying signal that affects surrounding electronics. However, that might be my setup, too. But for me, the Nux is my choice for playing around. I struggle to see a place for these devices with advanced musicians, as you normally have better equipment available. For this demographic, they fit more in the on-the-road use case where you don't have your full kit or want to work on something in private. All in all, these are great, cheap little devices everyone should have, especially if a teenager needs to shred endlessly while the mother is trying to concentrate. Great peacemaker. Thanks Leo.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

You are welcome! Thank you for sharing your detailed conclusions!...interesting points.

[@TarenLeitzke]

I have the Mustang Micro currently and like it but I am wanting to do more stuff with recording and am thinking about switching to the Mighty Plug Pro for some of its improved recording features. I have a few questions for anyone who has a Mighty Plug Pro: -Would you consider it relatively plug and play once you get some presets you like set, so that you don't always need to connect the app? The way I see it, both have volume and amp/preset changes, and then the only extra on-unit controls the Mustang has is EQ (which I can get similar changes with my tone knobs) and some limited effects changes. So you pretty much lose changing some effects on the fly from the device (and I'm not a huge effects user anyway) for much deeper editing when you do have the app connected. -I also wonder how well it could replace a cheap multi-effects pedal for someone who isn't a huge effects user like myself. Obviously I'd lose expression pedal usage. Is the recording quality of the Mighty Plug Pro similar to a cheap multi-effects unit (like the MG300 or my current Digitech RP255)? Also if I turned off the amp and cab sim, could I run the headphone out into an amp input to use delays and reverbs like I would with a multi-effects pedal? And lastly, while I don't currently play anywhere, if I ever did would it be possible to run the USB-C or headphone out on the Mighty Plug Pro to a PA system in place of an XLR cable? If I wanted to connect it at the end of my main overdrive pedal for example and go direct like I might with a regular multi-effects pedal.

[@marcinczyz9159]

Hi Leo, thank you for a very detailed and honest comparison, as always. The only aspect that i feel was left out, was the quality and power of the headphone amplifier itself. I've been using the Mustang Micro for more than a year now, purely for practicing. I like it very much, but I feel that the on board amplifier is a little bit weak for my favourite Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80 Ohm headphones. Did you have a chance to test both devices with some decent quality headphones? If yes, does the NUX offer an improvement in the ability yo drive the headphones? I am tempted to give the Mighty Plug a try. Keep up the good work, cheers!

[@martinopinto6323]

Man 80 ohms it's a lot, every small amp would be too weak

[@camswar]

Really enjoyed the video, thank you. I bought the fender mustang a few weeks ago. A bit older so not into too many buttons! Jk

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Thank you, I'm happy that you like the video!!! Thank you also for sharing your final choice!

[@enricofugazzi5206]

Ciao Leo, the Fender it's a glorified version of the Vox AmPlug 2. The real competitor of the Nux is the Mooer Prime 1. I think the Mooer could be the winner as for 50 Euro you can buy the blutooth pedalboard which allows to change presets and control the built in looper and tuner. I wrote in English to allow a larger community to read the comment.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Enrico, thank you for sharing! Unfortunately I don't have the Prime 1, therefore I can't give you my opinion, but for sure the prime 1 is a nice piece of gear. Thank you!

[@droidfan]

Wow! If I knew it was going to be such an unfair comparison I wouldn't have asked lol Fender needs to update that thing asap! btw, did I understand correctly? The NUX can actually work as a recording interface for the guitar? If that's true, what you get for the price is extremely good! Thanks again Mr. Gibson! (and twins!)

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, a simple pair of old apple EarPods...yes, I need to evolve...😀

[@francescobracciantini4104]

Hi Leo, thanks for the precise review! I've always wondered how the difference in bit depth (16 bit for Fender and 24 bit for Nux) affects the sound quality and in this case the two devices you reviewed have exactly this difference. What do you think about this since you tried the two "real" units? In the video the sounds of the Fender Mustang do not seem to have a lower quality, in fact in some cases it even seems better than the NUX. I know that the overall sound quality of a device does not just depend on a single parameter but this difference in bit resolution (16/24) has always intrigued me on how it can be reflected in the perception of real sound. Thanks in advance and congratulations for your always punctual and professional reviews!

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you so much, I'm really happy that you appreciate the reviews! It's really a difficult topic to discuss and indeed interesting...I would not only take into consideration the resulting amp tone...that with all the processing done could mask 16 and 24 bit...I would take into consideration: 1) I use this unit just to record the pure guitar, to reamp it later. 2) the dynamic range management 24 bit should provide with more levels / more "shades" of dynamic range and fidelity to your initial touch...therefore both affecting the point 1 and 2 aformentioned... I don't have numbers or precise fact to confirm that...but this is what in my opinion we should take into consideration

[@AndresGarcia-gf2jm]

I am very, very delighted with the Fender mustang micro. It's simple, it's plugging in, touching 3 buttons and enjoying without using a phone and with more than correct sounds and latency. I see that Nux offers better features and possibilities, but that also means that you need a phone and perhaps that makes it a little less practical. Fender mustang micro sounds great when clean, although it is true that with gain the quality of the tones loses a bit. I bought the mustang because I wanted something simple and that would force me to play and work on my technique instead of thinking that maybe I have to adjust this parameter or that one to sound good. The truth is that they are great products, I do not rule out selling my Fender mustang to acquire the nux. Although the truth is that I am super happy with my fender mustang micro because of how practical it is since it has so few customizable elements.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Andreas, thank you for sharing your experience!

[@GTruck0]

Good point but once the MP3 is setup with your preset it is stand alone. I even managed to get a wireless midi Bluetooth footswitch to work on my MP2 to switch presets.

[@RicMason]

Your comment, less practical because you need a phone😂you sound old like you used to change channels from the TV dial, then the less practical remote came out with all that on screen info showing you the time, channel, show, volume right there on the screen to see what it was you were watching for 10 minutes cuz you lost the TV guide. Plus how less practical is it not to have a phone today. True?Lol. 😂 You sound old like me but I'd rather have a phone and a remote rather than a dial and a TV guide, or in this case little colored buttons and a business card guide. Kids don't know how lucky they are.

[@ukmanthailand]

@@RicMason You forgot the single button TV remotes that worked using ultrasound. Used to make our cat run out of the room. :). But yes, needing a phone for the Nu-X is a non-problem as far as I’m concerned. Who doesn’t have a smartphone these days?

​@@RicMasonEu entendi o que ele disse, e penso a mesma coisa.

[@jimamsden]

NUX Might Plug pro does have Bluetooth MIDI that can be controlled for example through an iPhone. I have it integrated with a iRig BlueBoard to control overdrive and effects. It’s a bit complicated, but works. Same configuration also works with Mighty Space which can use the same patches.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you so much for sharing...interesting point!

[@grandfoobah]

I just bought a NUX after breaking my Mustang Micro (which I loved. I thought I was going to cry). I loved that the micro was dead simple and you could just plug it in and go. But having spent a few weeks with the NUX, I’m kinda blown away with it. I can set up my presets and use it the same way as the micro (just plug it in and go), but the difference is that the tones are just like I want them. IMO, the sound is a little better, too. Recording a dry signal is a huge plus, too. PS: The broken micro wasn’t fender’s fault. I am beyond clumsy in ways you could not imagine.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, than you for sharing!

[@HeartcoreMitRA]

At this point i don't see and reasons to get Mustang Micro, besides more accurate classical Fender amps representation. It would be interesting to see comparison between Mighty Plug Pro and BOSS Pocket GT, they seem to have kinda similar features and capabilities, but GT has less comfortable formfactor. The Mooer thing is also interesting, but the full-mono signal is a huge downsider for me.

[@davidefusco58]

Per caso sai quando sarà disponibile il mighty plug pro in Italia? Bellissimo video comunque, complimenti!

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Grazie, mi fa piacere che ti piaccia il video!!! Dovrebbe essere già disponibile, ma credo sia sold out un pò dappertutto...purtroppo non so quando arriveranno altri dispositivi nei retailer. Forse è meglio provare a chiedere direttamente a NUX.

Great video! I have the Fender and also the Nu-x MP-2, but I might want to upgrade to the MP Pro. Can you explain a little more about how you can use it to give remote guitar lessons with a headset? I don’t understand how the Mighty Pro would connect to an iPhone or iPad, which only have one port, not for usb but for Apple charger?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, Yes, it would be interesting indeed!

[@ivizlab622]

return my fender musting micro and got a nux mighty pro - while a lot of fender sounds are strong - I found for me the high gain lead tones were treble-y and metallic. And I hated the no preset bunch of colors thing - where when I found something good I would have to tap 9 times to the right amp and 3 times to the right efx everytime!! just to get which is now just a first preset on the NUX so it is there on startup. Also that I could use my same headset that I use on my computer was great (TRRS with the NUX). and for me having actual gain to play with and general tweaking is great.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you for sharing your experience and your findings!

[@SaxJockey]

So with the Mustang Micro, if I select an amp, EQ, Effect, Effect Modify, that all these settings are lost when the micro is turned off the back on?

[@ivizlab622]

does the NUX also ( like the fender) have a good audio in via bluetooth for say hearing the youtube practice. I am slightly worried that the bluetooth is being taken up by the app andwanted to check if audio in from your computer can be done too ( again for watch/practicing to say youtube)

[@H0kram]

Late reply but yes, it works pretty well for that, I didn't notice any issue. I use my phone for the app and backtracks from youtube etc.

Great comparison. I bought the micro mustang 2 months ago and love it. 2 days ago I ordered the NU-X mighty pro and should be here Monday. Personally, I look at them as two different devices with 2 different purposes. The mustang is simple, easy, no worries enjoyable plug and play with excellent tones. The NU-X is perfect for exploring and creating music. At these prices there is no reason not to get both. 😉😁

Leo, any chance to compare old Mighty Plug-2 with Pro? If it worth to upgrade or difference in sound not so big…

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Dimitri, actually I don't have a comparison with the Mighty Plug 2 in the pipeline...and I don't have done a direct tone comparison...I guess it is improved, for instance the latency should have been improved...but I'm not sure. Nevertheless, never say never...maybe in the future, if I have time, I will do a direct comparison... thank you!

Mighty Pro. Fender does have good instant sounds out of rhe box if that's what you looking for. 🤔 MPP sounds feel more metallic solo in the first reverb comparison, but I am torn. Where the fender is 16 it makes me feel like the 24 in MPP could give you much more bite in a mix..... Producing MPP no question

Hi Leo. Isn’t nux 300 or similar multi effect better than nux MPP? I already have have the fender MM and i want something that is more customizable. Should i just get a multi effect instead? Thanks

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, yes, a full amp modeling pedalboard is gonna offer you more options, a more complete signal chain, etc....if you ask me, it is totally worth the extra money. Still the MPP, is one of the unit I use the most for practicing and recording on the go. Thanks!

It is clear that the NuX is more versatile, but I'd like to mention for whom the Mustang Micro might be better. 1. Folks who don't want to do a lot of tweaking (just pick it up and start playing). 2. People who are new to effects and maybe don't know how to dial something in that sounds good. (Unlike most devices, the presets are really good). 3. People who don't want to depend on another device or app. (To be fair, I hate trying to remember the colors of the lights). And 4. Fender people. (As you would expect). In particular, I find the clean sounds to be more "amp-like".

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you for sharing your findings!

[@RicMason]

The Nux has 7 presets. You can change and customize them if you want. Just press the big button

[@RicMason]

No phone needed

[@gazzyb85]

For me, it's a significant disadvantage that the only way to tweak the NUX is with the app. Mustang all the way! :)

[@minkorrh]

Fender (as usual) has no idea about what a good gain tone should sound like. Of course this is all subjective and depends on your tastes, but for me it's the NU-X....both in term of bang for buck and sound quality/tone. Any modeller can do a really nice, sparkly, clean tone, but when it comes to hi-gain amp modelling, it separates the men from the boys so to speak. I like an app as it's physically easier to manipulate (for sausage-fingered me). We all have our preferences.

[@lucac.1586]

Ciao Leo, Ho notato che me video non hai parlato di una cosa a cui io faccio molta attenzione. Io ho provato il micro mustang e il Nux mighty 2. Ho notato che il fender è molto più silenzioso rispetto il mighty, il Nux ha un rumore di fondo quasi fastidio. È solo una impressione? Tu questa cosa non l'hai notata? Grazie mille

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Ciao Luca, direi che quando ho usato il Mighty PRO senza alcun effetto attivato nella catena, non ho notato rumori di fondo. Ho registrato un'intera canzone usando il mighty PRO per registrare solo il segnale della chitarra ed aggiungendo poi plugin nella DAW: in questa situazione non ho osservato problemi di rumori di fondo. Se attivi l'ampli, soprattutto con distorsioni, un pò di rumore di fondo c'è, ma mi sembra il normale rumore derivante da ampli. Qui però entriamo nelle opinioni personali, ovvero ciò che per me è normale, può essere fastidioso per te e viceversa, quindi non mi sento sicuro nel dirti che è tutto ok. Grazie per il messaggio e per la domanda!

[@tobiusmanning7336]

I have both, out of the box the mustang micro sounds hands and feet above the nux. I got the nux a couple months before the mustang micro. I have gotten some decent tones out of the nux but some amp/ir combinations do not work, just buzzing noises. The current firmware has a high pitched noise that I find annoying, hope it is fixed some day. As well there is low end distortion when playing amps clean even at low volumes, I have dialed back the guitar volume as well with no change. It's fun when you get a decent sound but far from perfect. The mustang micro just works, decent out of the box but cannot really be adjusted. I'm glad I have both, neither is perfect but both are useful. They both make me play more so all is good.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you for sharing your experience and your findings

[@tobiusmanning7336]

I refreshed the nux to the default firmware, was using the choptones firmware prior to this. Now I've went through 2/3rds of the amps each will all the default IR's without the buzzing issue. Might have been a bad flash or the choptones though I would be hesitant to think it would be released that way. I see new playing with the nux again lol

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Thank you! Interesting!

[@jonfields]

I've had a Mustang Micro for quite a while and I use it exclusively (rehearsal and gigs). Driving a QSC CP8 (on the floor, in monitor position, and monitor backside EQ) I was able to duplicate my Fender Tonemaster Deluxe Reverb in a side by side set up (both set to flat EQ). I sold the Tonemaster. The Mustang's only defect is a greater than zero noise floor and a noise gate function you can hear if you listen carefully. Feature wise the Nux MPP blows it away, but in that A-B Deluxe Reverb portion of the video the Nux is not very good in comparison. So no Nux for me. BTW, well executed 16-bit audio is all us humans can really appreciate. 96 dB of SNR takes you from a quiet room to full on pain. Same for DVD vs CD sample rates. Some of this specsmanship is truly unimportant. But I do suspect the Mustang's intermediate digital signal processing is lower resolution (a bit noisy) to get away with less DSP horsepower and increase battery life.

[@martinopinto6323]

The SNR is the signal to noise ratio. I think you're talking about the dynamic range, wich is the amount of headroom that the device has, which is not specified by fender for the mustang

[@jonfields]

@@martinopinto6323 My point is DVD Audio (48K @ 24b) and CD Audio (44.1K @ 16b) are both good enough if implemented well. The video implies that more (DVD) is better and that simply isn't true for human hearing. The Mustang still leaves something to be desired in its implementation because I can hear hiss that switches on as I play. That is not because it is 16b or 44.1K. It is because they traded off the DSP power needed to avoid it with quality of the modeling, product cost, and battery life. Specsmanship often tells you nothing about the total quality of the implementation. For me the Mustang is the winner, even with that hiss, because I don't need the extra features and like the tone.

[@ukmanthailand]

More is better for recording and digital mastering as it results in less quantisation noise. It’s not about the bit-depth of the finished audio masters, you’re confused.

One thing I was disappointed with just getting the Micro - as high gain lead solo guitarist - I thought the neck pu/ low tone knob kind of Clapton women tone ( or creamy Santana/Satriani) was unachievable - I felt all the high gains had a metallic/treble/compressed feel (and attack). Did you notice that - is it better on the mighty pro. Or is the setting on the Micro I can try to judge what might be the best of a creamy high gain for soloing.
