This is the best marketing tool that Fender has produced, cheap, affordable, usable and good for all guitarists at all levels. The bluetooth setting which allows you to jam with your favourite backing tracks and the abillity to record onto your computer make it the ultimate practice tool for students and pros on the go. Awesome stuff.
Fender got a lot of heat when they first introduced the Mustang V amp series as a lot of reviewers didn't know who Fender was marketing these amp too? Well, the answer is simple... Everyone. As a Mustang amp collector, I find it strange the Mustang is getting so much attention in it's pocket rocket format? Personally I believe the Mustang Micro is a pocket sized testament on just how good the Mustang amps really are.
@@coalcrackerchrisNU-X. Sounds great all the way through the tones and FX. Certainly better than this. Flamma FX10 is also pretty stellar for sound quality/gain tones.
I've watched more than a dozen reviews of the Mustang Micro, and this is by far the best one. You covered it top-down. Moreover, I could tell you were having FUN, which is the point of the device. Have some fun! I have one, and have lost many hours noodling on the couch. Also, really great that you ran it through the Iridium for your viewers, plugged it into different guitars, and wore headphones -- unlike other reviewers who mic a single amp and don't really demo the range of the effects. BTW, the USB port allows the device to get firmware updates (new amps\ effects?), and also gives Fender the opportunity to build a phone app to control the Micro -- like NUX. Great job! The Kazoo says it all @58:15, even though it's an image that will haunt me. LOL
I love this guy. So positive, concicse, skilled, and great overall quality videos. Awesome editing, nothing overdone or "too much". This is great content, sir.
As a Fender Mustang V/V2 aficionado, the tones are spot on with my amp III/IV/V V/V2 set ups. This is the next best thing to lugging around a real Fender Mustang butcher block amp head. It's nice to finally see the Mustang series get the love it so richly deserves.
I bought the Micro a few weeks ago, pleasantly surprised how good it is, very easy to use and has good battery performance. The Fender cleans are good (not quite match my Fender Tube Amp), but the driven amp model that I like the most is the BB15. With decent headphones*, the BB15 really hits the mark, more so than any pedal or other modelling amp that I have used. Was tempted to look at the full size BB15, but don't need another 15W and was put off by the maintainability of that amp. * I have some older full size Beyerdynamic DT-250 phones.
@@SaxJockey I run mine through a Fiios Headphone DAC for extra decibels, I have it wired in such a way I can play backing tracks via my Sony HiRes MP3 player or phone. For headphones I prefer the open sound stage of open back headphones like the Philips X2 HiRes cans. But any headphones with 50mm drivers will serve you well. I can also run this set up into any amps FX Send or Aux, by passing any amps preamp section, you get the pure tone from the F/M this way. I do the same thing on my Mustang amps... As for tube amp tone, opinions vary, but a tube would make your tone sound more warm, at least to my ears, digital is different, but the trick is to bypass the preamp section of the amp that you're plugging into, I picked up this trick up form one of Briam Wamplers videos. It's an impressive portable set up, just toss in your gig bag and go.
You have given me the self confidence I needed to truly become as cool, if not cooler than the grey guy on the box. Really glad you answered my question because I was really starting to have doubts.
Too bad we can't hear it glad your having fun.barely audibles scratching the string to fast use the metronome please turn up the amps so we can hear.thankss
Absolutely true! A great portable bass amp with the Studio Preamp setting and decent headphones. Great to play along with an album using the Bluetooth feature. It simply sounds good, especially the clean and bass sounds. (High gain is decent but could be better.)
Nice demonstration-thank you! Hands down one of the best practice tools out there. Imagine practicing electric guitar in the car while your wife goes into Michaels or World Market! Life changing.
Pre ordered one and got it the first week. I really like the sound and using it. I hate the buttons and the way it's laid out that's very hard to dick with while playing. Hopefully 2.0 comes out with something more user friendly. Best use is taking it guitar shopping. Walk around and plug it in and have your own amp.
Had one for a while, but just for giggles thought I would try it with bass and it holds up very well, especially with my Danelectro Longhorn! So now it's the best, most versatile amplug I own - well done Fender 👍
Was considering purchasing one of these units so that I can have some guitar fun while my wife is asleep (she works nights). After watching your video I ordered one right away. It’s going to make a great companion to my Mustang V2. Thanks for putting out such a great demo of the Mustang Micro.
Real talk: hearing you play against a fuller musical context in the intro made SUCH a huge difference, because you're _reacting_ and not just noodling; sounded great!
Bluetooth headphones and amps aren't a thing because the lag is too much. This thing is amazing. I love the ability to sit on my couch and play without dragging my amp out. Love it.
I confirm this did indeed help me find meaning in life! Unironically. This is a fantastic product and I have been using it everyday since I got it a year ago.
Your comment about beginners is spot on ,this is why it was produced ,it wasn't made for experts to knock it back.Good review ,thanks very much .Oldguy in the U K
very grateful for your vid! i was looking into amps and was overwhelmed by thinking i needed pedals, then going into all in ones (built-in effects)long story short- its in my budget, and caught my interest when i learned theres fx and rechargable no batteries needed its a godsend I'm so glad this was an option for me as an intermediate player playing in the dead of night or even in outside, very nice just need some monitor headphones but ill be rocking!! thanks again!
Thanks for this comprehensive review. I bought my Mustang Micro last year and kinda put it on the shelf, but your video got me playing with it again. I also picked up a Boss Katana Mini so I would have a small amp to take with myself when not at home. I watched your video and played along changing settings as you went through it. Really helped me!
Have this. It's really good, especially for Bluetooth-ing in some music to jam with or lessons on youtube or whatever. Perfect for silent practice on the couch. The one feature i wish it had would be a simple tap tempo feature for delays and tremolo.
Just bought and it’s value for money! Tried it on varies IEM earbuds and Studio monitor headphones. Imo sound best with the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro. I guess it will sound superb on most close back studio monitor headphone as long as the hp eq is flat and not colored so you hear how it’s suppose to sound. My DT770 Pro at 250 ohm and no issue with the output. Volume knob at 1 o’clock - perfect 👍
I just bought two travelers guitars, one acoustic-electric and one electric, I bought a travelers headphone amp for my wife and got the fender one for me, and the Fender blows the other one out of the water. Costs a little more but well worth the price.
Try a Vox at half the price, first. If you think you'll ever use more than that, go for it. Im a longtime player and I have found headphone amps to be much less useful than they seem like they should be. Now... the closest thing we had when I was a teenager living at home, was a Rockman and I couldn't afford one. An affordable headphone amp, would've been a Godsend.
@@Florida_Boi_333 Yes, the Vox amps sound good. This guy has a decent overview m.ua-cam.com/video/X58p-QgK3vY/v-deo.html I exchanged the AC30 for the Metal. I use it mostly with my Ibanez Mikro, for convenience. The only major limitation for most of them, is that they'll only do one or the other, clean or distorted very well.
Awesome demo! Definitely the best that I've seen on this. You had the best set up to record it too. The stereo effects came through great!. I might have to pick one of these up. Sorry, I missed the Premiere. The UA-cam notifications were very late for me this time.
I pretty much nailed it in my thinking that since I was a kid I noticed that Fender amps had a ton of sound I hated, and very little I liked for my musical preferences. I wasn't wrong. The clean stuff is nice, but it's miserable for anything else. Damn near every other amplug I have looked at has a better gain tone all the way up. In my head Fender tube amps are the ANALOG king of blues and crunch with the right pedal setup. Digitally, I'm surprised they even bother.
Great playing. Cool little jam tool. My only reservation with these is connecting the dongle strait into my guitar and have it hanging there. But easy enough to fix with a male to female cable.
i strongly recommend this as a great little practice tool, especially considering its features for the price. However I've encountered a major design flaw in the Fender Mustang Micro. I'm a lefty, all my guitars and basses are lefties including my Fenders. This product was not laid out in an ambidextrous or lefty-compatible fashion. Try plugging it into a lefty Fender Stratocaster or lefty Jazz bass for example, you'll see what I mean. The control buttons and LEDs wind up along the bottom side facing away from me so I can't see at a glance how they're selected and the guitar plug, while fairly malleable is also designed to favor right-handed play. I'm a bit stunned Fender didn't catch this stuff during product design/test phase.
The usb cable has a reversible small end plug, that's 18" long, and you can't find a longer cable , so get a 1/4" guitar cable 5 or 6 foot long, and a mono cable adapter to plug into one cable end, and the Mustang Micro in the other end of the adapter, then plug the other cable end into the guitar, hope this all makes sense. You can have the micro in front of you and see it better for operation and learn the color combos and remember your favorites. The main thing is a 1and a half foot usb cable, is now 5 plus feet long, you can relax and play and record way easier, hope this helps GLTA....Plug micro into cable extender end, not the guitar input jack, This helps out for lefties..... ;-) Basically your extending your guitar input jack through that cable, to adapter to micro....... Plug the usb cable into the micro to the Laptop or PC . Cheers mate
@@BillZad Thank you, Willy, for suggesting adding in cables to resolve my problem with the Mustang Micro. I had already considered adding in a male-to-female guitar cable between the Micro and guitar. Unfortunately doing so essentially defeats the whole purpose of the Micro's compact, "cableless" design. There are lots of alternatives, many that offer more features, if I'm to be tethered by cables. Instead, if Fender is considerate they'll release a Micro II (ambi) or Micro L (lefty) so we lefties too can share in the joys of the product's design.
Nice demo - it would have been a tough call between this for $100 and the boss waza for $400 I went with. The boss is an awesome set of Bluetooth headphones, easily a $200 set so that helps justify the price difference a little. I like not having to use an app for the mustang though. I have made a few presets I like for the boss and don’t use the app any more really. And I never use the 3D gimmick. Cool, but not super useful.
This video got me wanting one so I bought it for a 100 bucks you get real value and I'm sure my family will be happy as I have been using a 15 watt Vox modeling practice amp and "it's too loud". This may solve that problem...
Great demo, thank you. Just trying to decide between this and the new katana go. Leaning towards the go for more tweak ability but I also really like the cleans on the micro and the simplicity. Hard choice, maybe I’ll get both.
Just placed an order for this! I love their Mustang amps so this is just icing on the cake. It's just so convenient when everyone is asleep and people don't want to be bothered! Can't wait!
ends up best selling amp of 2021. Honestly has its place and its uses, At 120$ is it cheaper than buying a cheap combo and pedals that can cover all it does? At the same level of sound? Keep in mind you also get an PC Type C interface, Because the Scarlet and Presonos options that don't suck run around $100-200, Are you getting your monies worth out of this?
Hey, I bet you can run it clean after a peddle board! I wonder if that would work? A lot of gig spots use a PA system this thing could be possibly tried out one of those situations too? Oh.... Never mind you answered that later in the video...... Really cool thanks... Purchased And excited to play with one myself.
Same here... Although, there are definitely some points going for the simplicity of the amplug. This fender thingy has a tad too many options and combinations (which I could survive better, was there an option to control it via phone app with save able presets). I like the simplicity of the amplug, which in my opinion goes better with the gadget's purpose. You want to pick up the guitar and instantly jam, not to fiddle around for half an hour before dialing the "right" tone...
Dear Ryan: Thank you so much for a great review of the Fender Mustang Micro. I got my self one for my BDay last year. I am also impressed with it, as you are. It is versatile, powerful, compact, super portable, and also very affordable. All your test styles sound amazingly good. I want to learn other connectivity possibilities, as the one that you showed. Would you please expand on your demonstration..? You are a wonderful person on your video. Thank you so much. Best regards, George Frank
FBE 100 is either a friedman something or an Engl Fireball I assume. My guess is the former, didn't sound dark enough to be a fireball. This seems pretty cool all around but the higher gain amps didn't sound very good which is the main thing I'd be interested in. The low/mid gain tones sounded great, would be curious to see if the EQ notches salvage the higher gain but I'm expecting not. Cool little unit though.
You totally made this work. Hahah. Putting OD in front of a SS preamp. The size of a money clip. That's kick ass. It works. Makes me want to now try my Revv G2 in front of my Gt1. Hahahahah

All the other items in it are also designated "Mustang."
I know this is way late, but it would be great if you'd compare this with the NUX Mighty Plug 2!
I got this and must say its classes above Mighty Nux MP2. The one thing i miss is to save say 2-3 combinations that you easy can switch between.
Dear Ryan: Thank you so much for a great review of the Fender Mustang Micro.
I got my self one for my BDay last year. I am also impressed with it, as you are. It is versatile, powerful, compact, super portable, and also very affordable.
All your test styles sound amazingly good. I want to learn other connectivity possibilities, as the one that you showed. Would you please expand on your demonstration..? You are a wonderful person on your video. Thank you so much. Best regards, George Frank
Thanks fo commenting on the volume. Have Nux Mighty Plug and it is pretty good, but it just doesn’t put out enough volume.
I want this. I’m bad. This is all I need for a bit.
Yeah I love the answer on ‘whyyy’
FBE 100 is either a friedman something or an Engl Fireball I assume. My guess is the former, didn't sound dark enough to be a fireball. This seems pretty cool all around but the higher gain amps didn't sound very good which is the main thing I'd be interested in. The low/mid gain tones sounded great, would be curious to see if the EQ notches salvage the higher gain but I'm expecting not. Cool little unit though.
Good review! My son just ordered one. We R both checking on line for all we can learn about it. Thsnks.
How does it compare to the mighty plug from Nux
You totally made this work. Hahah. Putting OD in front of a SS preamp. The size of a money clip. That's kick ass. It works. Makes me want to now try my Revv G2 in front of my Gt1. Hahahahah
FYI...the output volume completely depends on the impedance of your headphones. Lower impedance phones can produce louder volumes.
One question about these, can you run it through an MP3 jack on a regular amp?
alright. so now that it has been heard, there must be more of it. 60cyclehum, smooth jazz guitar podcast
From Fender's website:
" FBE-100
: Inspired by the lead channels (both BE and HBE) of the Friedman BE-100."
:-)
The Acoustisonic sounded great.
I thoroughly enjoyed your jazz licks there.
Holy crap Ryan... nice jazzyplaing. just ordererd a mustang micro from sweetwater. 65 twin thanks browatch yout vids every day. Marty is my guitar teacher but you my gear guy. asnd arrel rown
Thanks for the review.
Maybe one day I can play as well as you do.
Amazon produce review! I just ordered one 🤘🏻
You play good at high-gain amps. You should do more metal! :D. you are good!
Ok, so two years after, what`s the new best thing; Mustang Micro, Nux mighty plug, or something else?
Mine was great for a week. Then it developed a nasty static buzz. I’ve read others have had this problem. I ended up sending it back. Would by a again if this gets resolved.
Interesting, I’ll be on the lookout for that.
Best. Video. Yet!
Getting mine next week 🤘🏽
Excellant demo!
You could’ve easily used an auxiliary cord from the headphone jack on the Micro into a Bluetooth speaker for sound..
Bass Breaker is a Fender amp, FBE100 = Friedman Brown Eye 100
Wow! I gotta get me one of these things!
What settings for a good Sabbath'ish tone?
How is it that I am straight and that intro was seducing me?... lmao
Bought one and its great
Amen;) (It really is crazy good)
Good demonstration
I love the Strat
Dems sum juicy leads there Mr.Ryan!
I'm not a tube screamer kind of guy. => Hooks up tube screamer.
FBE = Friedman BE 50/100
That was a little vivid on the meaning of life. Lol 👀👍
How does it sound with the Acoustasonic Jazzmaster?
Thank you!
Great demo!
Why are you daisy chaining to record the output of the Micro when you can use the USB-out on the Micro to plug it into a computer.
So what was the smooth jazz in the beginning? UA-cam video? If so, how about a link....please!😊
