Pretty cool, but my fave bit was where you mentioned testing the Dual Rectifier to see how it compares to the NUX and not the other way around. Gold 😂 To be fair, digital amps have come a long way and have been setting benchmarks in terms of tones, application and convenience.
Thanks for a very thorough demo! Using the looper, the cab and comparing to the real amp is much appreciated! That said, Dual Rectifier emulation sounded quite digital and artificial actually with some artefacts especially audible in the gaps. I mean it's usable for practice, but I don't think it competes with the best processors or software plugins.
Thanks for the kind words. I have a feeling it is because the IR loaded in the NUX Mighty Space was designed to work well with their own amp model instead of a real amplifier. The subtle nuance from the Dual Rectifier probably threw the IR off. I might need more test with different IR and IR loaders to find out.
I was trying NUX Mighty Space today in the music store, and I was not impressed with high gain tones. I tried factory presets which emulated: VOX AC, Marshall JCM800 and MESA Dual Rectifier. They sounded kind of dark, VOX at most dark and muffled. I was changing factory IRs. Some Marshall cabs were making the sound brighter. Enabling EQ after the amp helped to shape the sound. Delays, reverbs, effects were of good quality. One thing that I really missed, was to be able to stream backing tracks from my phone connected by Bluetooth. There were some backing tracks available in Mighty App, but just basic ones.
@@Andrey.Balandin you can, it has a volume knob at the back of the amp. @GrayColors probably missed that knob and can't hear anything pumped from his phone. They ship with that volume knob set to zero.
I would have skipped the rental/comparison and just went straight for the buy. With the money you would save by forgoing the rental you could have bought a Two Notes Torpedo Captor and C.A.B. units and gone straight into the computer. And if you wanted to run a signal into an amp still you could do that by going from the Captor to the amplifier. Or you could save even more money by just buying the NUX MG-30, load it with your favorite IR's, and call it a day. All very apartment friendly, fantastic sounding solutions. I don't know what that NUX amp sounds like in the room but it sounds pretty bad through my monitors, lol. Not trying to be mean or poke fun but there are cheaper and better sounding solutions that would still allow you to maintain a reasonable volume for your neighbors. Or even be completely silent to them.
My wallet can't agree with you on skipping the rental, though my mind is very much aligned with yours. I do have quite a few different IR loaders and Celestion IRs I bought but my point of the video was to see if I can achieve good results using the NUX Mighty Space. For completely silent practices (less the string noise that annoys people around me), I'll go with the NUX Mighty Plug Pro. But for serious recordings, I'll need to convince my wallet a little more.
@@adrose6940 I've got the Nux and it's pretty good for what it does. I've also got a Victory V40 Deluxe which cost 10x as much....but it's not 10x as good. For home practice it's great and if you plug it into a decent cab, it's a good backup amp. the Fender amp models are pretty close, but the Mesa sounds fairly different; a bit of tweaking the EQ would have made an improvement.

Thank you! That was fantastic!

Nice video! Could you share the presset configuration?
Excellent Video!

Hey, what? Seriously, you can't play along to tracks from your phone via bluetooth? Only audio in?
@@Andrey.Balandin you can, it has a volume knob at the back of the amp. @GrayColors probably missed that knob and can't hear anything pumped from his phone. They ship with that volume knob set to zero.
You can
I agree about the high gain tones. They are not good
great video but one question ::: do I need to upgrade thie Mighty Space like the NUX MG30?? I'll appreciate someone reply me =)
Excelente!
Sweet
I have the nux mighty air. I wish nux could provide similar functionality that the mighty space has, as for me the mighty air is the perfect size.
The Mighty Space is indeed bigger and heavier.

@@PedalRebel880 I'm not sure I follow but to each their own. After all you are a rebel. Cheers!
Ugh...Another guitarist trying to feel cool by bragging about its gear. Hoping people will think you're somebody 🤣
Real amp... always...
Two totally different sounds. Nux sounds harsh and digital with lots more harsh upper mids.
The Mesa completely destroys the Mighty space. I did not like the Mighty space sound.
Wow, that's a surprise that a $3000 amp, beat a $400 one.
@@CrazedFandango I know bruh, but at least it should be kinda decent, but it didn't at all

Sounds terrible.
Does it have a built in looper. Or pedal input
Yes
