Mighty Plug MP-2 Guitar and Bass Modeling Headphone Amplug with Bluetooth, 13 Amp Models, 20 IRs, 19 Effects, 6.35mm Phone Plug, Pocket Amplifier Built-in Rechargeable LiPo Battery 3.7V/1000mAh

This thing works great. I've used the old Analog versions of this from various manufacturers for a long time. I needed to update to get Bluetooth. I did NOT read the instructions and it was fairly easy to get figured out, if you are struggling ta all, just read them, and be sure to get the App. There is a ton in the App that may be useful for others. BE AWARE: Paired in the App does not mean paired to your Phone. That one took me a bit. All in all this little unit is awesome, I've used the crap out of it and I have nothing bad to say.

I was looking for a small multi-effects unit to travel with. This thing is awesome for practicing while you travel! It sounds great in headphones, but I also had good results plugging it into aux ports of car stereos and bluetooth speakers. I imagine you would have pretty decent sound if you plugged into a PA system too. Settings are easily tweaked on the 4 different channels (via the app), and the button to toggle between channels is at you guitar's jack, so it's not like having a peddle board, but you can still switch between channels somewhat easily. I cannot believe the variety of effects in such a small device, and such a low price! The only way to adjust sound is through the app, so that is a downside, but I just set it where I like it and only have to change it if I plug into a different device. Each channel can be set to a different volume level. Usually if I am moving from headphones to another device, that device has its' own volume control anyway, so no big deal. Highly recommend for anyone that needs portable tones, or even for any beginner on a budget. I wish I could have had so many tones for that price when I first started! Update after 6 months of use. I just noticed someone posted a negative review of this product and wished they had held on to some device they had from the 80s. Their main complaint was a lack of knobs and no volume control. I will admit that a physical knob or two, especially volume would be nice. The thing is, everything is adjustable in the app, sounds like this person did not realize that. I started playing in the 1980's and just 1 effects pedal would have cost about the same as the nux, and that would not be multi-effects, and no amp either. After 6 months I still love this thing! I just found out there is a 3rd party app called Mightier that can be used to tweak the different channels even further. I found that the volume varies if I am changing from BT speaker to headphones, so having to adjust volume on each channel if jumping between devices is a little irritating. Best to set everything to acceptable volume on headphones first, then just use BT speaker volume to adjust. Still super excited about this product and not sure how anyone could not like it, especially at this price.

Nice practice setup with Headphones. My wife and son and I are all working/schooling from home, and I noodle around in between meetings, so its kinda rude to plug in through the amp. I could run headphones from my main setup, too, but its just easier to use this. It sounds really good with decent effects that have adjustable parameters. Hooked up to the computer you can play along with backing tracks on Youtube, or even import into a DAW. They are very low latency. I have really nice Senheiser headphones and it sounds great with them, but not too bad in cheap skull candy earbuds, either. A little bit of distortion on the low end with the cheaper pair. It has backing beats that you can play along with, but I cant figure out how to play along with the included backing tracks. Is this a pro recording setup? No. Its a nice practice headphone amp that has nice sounding effects and amp sims. Very basic but great for what I use it for.

Since I have grown older, this is the kind of thing that fits my lifestyle. Most of my gear is in the basement and I've always wanted to just have an electric guitar "upstairs" near my TV. Trouble is, of course, I didn't want to have to bring up an amp. A nice guitar is like a piece of beautiful furniture. It's art. But an amp with chords, etc., well, they're not as welcome in my house. Enter, the Nux Mighty Plug. Now, I don't have to settle for un-amped "pretend" electric. I have the real thing...more or less, and no chords to tether myself outside of the earbuds which I keep wrapped around the unit when not in use. It's really nice to be able to stroll around the family/living room and kitchen whilst playing I can tell you. I've found for my current taste, the clean sound is quite nice and I do find (I can't believe I'm saying this as an old rocker) the distortion a little too much but with the app, of course, that can be dialed down and saved. If anything, it's the app that could use some more options and perhaps a better design though I haven't spent a lot of time delving into it and have not thus created a wish with the exception of figuring out how to add my own Jam tracks to the app. Of course, you can play anything on a bluetooth enabled device and jam with that. Regarding that, I use an Android-based phone and Applian Media Catcher to get mp3's and Smart Audiobook Player to set my library of tracks. That makes is even more convenient although I started off with finding Youtube backing tracks. In the past couple of days I've also taken advantage of the drum machine that's built into the app. Nice. It just appears that one should be able to add songs/artists. Again, I have looked around but perhaps I'm missing something obvious. If the device seems a little pricey, just cut out the expensive coffee for a couple of weeks to offset the cost. This is one cool piece of gear that you will use often and your neighbors might even pitch in if they knew you wouldn't be playing your guitar at all hours of the night!

I use this headphone amp plug with my bass guitar and in ear headphones, or over ear headphones. It's very practical for practice sessions when you don't want to plug into an amp. The app allows for fine tuning of gain, level bass, middle treble and mid frequencies (see last photo). The app has a metronome, and 10 different drum beats: pop, metal, blues, swing, rock, ballad rock, funk, R&B, Latin, and dance. Switch up the BPM the way you want. You can hear the drums and metronome through the headphones, but not the backing jam tracks. I'm not sure if that is intentional, but if I use the backing track I remove one of my earbuds as it can be heard through the phone's speaker. All in all this NUX system has been working quite well and the battery life of this amp is great. The % of battery is displayed on the app 'edit' page (last photo). Be careful not to blow out your eardrums- this thing amplifies quite well. No distortion noted... but then again I'm using this for quiet practice, and not rocking out so your mileage may vary. :) *** Edited on March 14,2022** I've added 2 more photos to show connectivity of the product and specific write up regarding the Bluetooth feature of the NUX . Since there have been many questions regarding connectivity, here is the paragraph from the booklet regarding Bluetooth: " You can connect your mobile phone or tablet by Bluetooth to play along with your favorite music either AUDIO or APP mode is selected. Go to your phone/tablet Bluetooth settings and search for MIGHTY PLUG to connect. When the Bluetooth is connected the device is ready for audio streaming only. If you want to control the effects, open the MIGHTY AMP application on your mobile device, go to SETTINGS> CURRENT AMP AND CHOOSE the MIGHTY PLUG device. AUDIO/APP LED indicators will show you the current status. Now you can customize and store your own presets."

With a good pair of headphones, it is wonderful! Good presets that have VERY easily-modified parameters, sounds excellent, very varied amps/IRs/effects - great practice tool!

The Mighty Plug is a decent device for guitar practice and has over 12 amps in it with distortion pedals and noise gate. Now the 1.5 firmware is what originally ships with the device. Clean is clean but not laser, tweed amp is available, the distortion amps all have too much sizzle to them, Optima acoustic sim is available, and using Dist One with increased drive and tone will have you a chainsaw sound. There is a compressor that is always active that cannot be turned off. Now many of these things give the device a charm that the 2.2 firmware is lacking. What happened? The compressor is now a pedal under EFX, but only one distortion box, or wah can be used under EFX. This means you cannot use a drive, say the TS Screamer or Red Dist, with a distortion amp while the compressor is used. This may sound like you gain more dynamic range and the sound of the instrument is heard more, but you now have to drive the pick into the strings a lot harder. Palm mutes for drop tuning are a little muddier now, and fifth-root open chords do not sound alien-like. So the automatic compression will be missed. I said clean on the 1.5 was not laser, on the 2.2 it is. Clean sounds incredibly natural, and you can use more gain before clipping occurs. Well using chorus with clean would sound great, huh? Well the Chorus effect is not working. I tried to turn on CE1 with clean and distorted amps and no difference was made. The stereo chorus is also gone. The Optima acoustic amp is gone. It was not very powerful with a speaker. Acoustic simulators was a draw for me to purchase this product as a beginner guitarist. My previous product was the Nux GP-1 Guitar Plug. I would use it with an old karaoke machine. I then bought the Mighty Plug along with a Bluetooth speaker to use it as a portable guitar amplifier that was all battery-powered. The Mighty Plug can also be used with headphones for silent practice and playing along to songs of all genres. From playing the pop rock songs of your youth and adding dangerous power chords to them, or playing to an already extreme song, the Mighty Plug did it all on 1.5 firmware. So if you like the digital, static sound of your Fireman or VH4 amp or even the auto fuzz sound of your Recto, or even just using chorus effects (you can have Alice In Chains in your living room when tuned to Eb flat), just use the original firmware and do not think about upgrading it. If you have Windows XP, the firmware update tool will not even run- Windows 10 is necessary to run the firmware upgrade tool. That is even more reason to skip the upgrade. So now I cannot downgrade at all and have to wait for NUX to improve their product. One thing to point out. The plug hinge gets real stiff after turning all the time. If you press too hard, the hinge will crack. The plug will just flop from your guitar, but the device still works. I would give it a five star rating for its low price, feature set, and ease of use. After the firmware update, the device would have a three from me because the auto compressor is gone and the chorus effects are not available. Also if you use a Bass guitar, the "Bass mode" is gone.

I wanted this portable guitar headphone amp to sound at least okay - I had set my expectations for okay. I had previously shopped a competitors product in the $99 range. I plugged the NUX portable headphone guitar amp into my bluetooth phones (via its audio "cable" port) and into my PRS SE Santana Egyptian gold guitar. Wow! The audio quality is incredible. Lots of different effects to choose from, as well as amp models. There is an IR section that I would have missed, if not for "The Pedal Guy's" excellent video on Youtube about this device -- think acoustic guitar simulator - yeah, this thing has that awesome feature. There are backing tracks that I still have to explore, as well as drum tracks included with this device. One tip would be if your bridge pickup is really hot, like in my PRS SE, you might want to switch your pickup selection to your neck pickup. The NUX Mighty Plug MP-2 sounded great with my guitar's stock/passive neck pickup but it (right out of the gate) didn't do so well (the distortion wasn't as natural sounding) with the aftermarket "hot" passive pickup in my guitar's bridge. I always wanted to try a Univibe type effect and it is included with this portable guitar headphone amp. If you are shopping a few of these type of devices, check out the Reddit reviews and Youtube videos as well. If you purchase this portable guitar headphone amp, please set some time aside, I spent about an hour and a half the first time I plugged into this device - it is tremendous in the simplicity of its use and I love that there is so much more to learn about the features I haven't fully discovered yet. At the low price offered for this device, it is a tremendous value. Hope you too can lose yourself in an endless jam that brings a smile to your face! Keep on jammin' All the best!
