alexa3020 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Thanks for the update. Looks like their are a few other options now. The mooer prime p1 looks pretty good but I’m unsure if it supports aux in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddster Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Check out the Mightier Amp app. Unfortunately only for Android (Apple restrictions on other peoples software, or something). Independent developer, but has added extra features which are very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthaside Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Just taken a look at the mightier amp app that looks excellent guess i better put the nux on charge to try out later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnach Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I got one of these yesterday, the MP-2 as on the OP, not the newer 'PRO' version. I'm going to dep for a Bruce Springsteen tribute band in a few weeks and got 25 songs to learn, and I'm going to be away for some of this period so I figured one of these units would be quite handy to practice while on the move. I only had about 30min play with it last night, but so far I'm pretty impressed. It sounds ok, much better than I expected, to be honest. I haven't even checked the app yet, one of the presets did a more than passable job (even if it had to much reverb for my liking) with my Ray35. For my purposes, I'd be ok if I couldn't tweak it further... but it turns I can, so it looks good. Just ordered a little extension cable as I don't like it sticking out of my bass that way and I'll just have it in my pocket I think. Oh, and a little inline volume thingy since I was at it and they're cheap, just in case. It really should have a volume control on the unit itself. I think the new version has that (plus USB-C rather than micro) but at £55-60, the MP-2 looks just, well, mighty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lfalex v1.1 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Still liking mine. Its my go-to for practice. If it had a bulit-in tuner and physical gain/volume controls, it'd be excellent. As it is, it's still very good indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switch it over to the Aguilar Amp sim and turn off all the effects and you'll have a great time learning songs. I love my Mighty Plug, so handy when travelling. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velarian Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Has anyone tried the sharing feature on the might plug? I haven’t played much with tweaking patch settings so I’ve not really mastered getting the best out of the device yet. However, If anyone has any good custom patches it would be interesting to try something different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I don't really rate the effects, I dialled in a nice amp sound and it's how I practice. I can screenshot the amp settings shortly if you'd like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 By way of return, I'll put my favourite up. I can't do it now. Seems you can't change patches in the app if you're not connected to the Nux itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cost £3 or so and it's about 20cm long, so not much to add to your cable. I haven't tried it yet but it should do the trick... I hope!

I’ve also had a look at the sharing function and if it’s worked, below is the QR code for that patch. The second QR code is for another patch I find myself using as it’s quite bright and modern sounding. I’m not sure if it’s one of the default patches or the result of some earlier tweaking I’ve done. I’d be interested to know if it sounds OK for others if anyone could try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnach Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Finally got some proper time to check out the app in depth, change effects etc. It's not going to substitute anybody's Helix anytime soon, but it's pretty damn good. It's very easy to get nice guitar sounds, it responds well to turning down the volume on the guitar, cleaning up the sound like you would on a real amp. And for bass... well, you need to build up a preset from scratch as the existing ones are mostly guitar oriented, but it's as easy as picking up the bass amp, tweak to taste, no effects and away you go. When playing along to tracks I actually prefer it without a cab simulation, but maybe I need to explore the IRs a bit more. Anyway, the real reason I wrote this post was to confirm that an inline volume control for the headphones comes in very very handy. I am using this one, it wasn't £3, but £7... or £8 if you buy 2. It makes working with the MP-2 much easier. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08T1YW1JK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Does anyone know the advantages of the Pro version over the original one? I'm assuming any new amp/cab effect models are in the app and apply to either piece of hardware? In short, does the Pro warrant the extra money (nearly double at first glance)?

The two webpages are quite detailed as to what they do so any person can decide if the differences are worthwhile for the additional cost; here the difference is $129/159. I have the original and only use it for practice, especially on the verandah. For the difference in cost if I were starting from scratch I'd probably go Pro as the $30 isn't much and I might find the differences useful later. https://www.nuxefx.com/mighty-plug.html https://www.nuxefx.com/mightyplugpro.html Edited December 3, 2022 by crazycloud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two minor hardware improvements are USB-C charging, and physical volume control buttons. Both nice to have but not essential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The volume control is something I would have liked to have... but I'm just using a passive in-line control for that (around £5... the MP-2 was £60 and the Pro version around £100-110 as far as I could see. Happy with the MP-2). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two spec lists aren't comparable at all. I was more wondering if both versions use are compatible with the same app. Here's the two specs lists.
