What a great review. I just got mine for Father’s Day. I agree with your review 100%; it’s an awesome device. My only complaint, I am colorblind; the color chart does nothing for me. When I saw descriptions like magenta, spring green and raspberry, I knew I was in trouble. Lol. I will just have to count down from clear to get my amp settings.

@chairmankaga101 3 жыл бұрын

Fender is killing it with their entry-level gear. The Mustang amps are fantastic value and really useful for what they are, the new Squiers are just ridiculously awesome for the money (the Contemporary lineup is more like entry level Charvel than Fender), and this looks like a fantastic tool for practice or demos. So glad Fender is getting back to their roots - engineering useful, versatile gear. And I'm not even a Fender fanboy!

Best review of amp/headphones amp I ever seen. Dude makes all possible sounds demo, playing something that fits that specific effect and doesn't bitch about his personal preferences of any of it, purely and transparently showing the device capabilities at its proper use. You killed dude! Leaving my like and would leave it 2 if that was possible.

Great review! I’ve had this unit for about a year and it’s an outstanding option for playing at night or when you don’t want to bother anyone. However, I’ve never even tried the USB out to software. I’m obviously missing out on half the fun. You should put out some guitar courses man! I’d buy it!

Impressive. Unbelievable, actually. Appears to provide the desired amp effect without robbing the tele of its inherent tone. And the Bluetooth capability is outstanding. I’ll probably buy one just to test guitars at GC.

Never saw your videos before. Was watching another Micro review, and yours popped up in the feed. Love your personality on camera. Even though it's obvious you love you some rockabilly, loved how you fit the style of your play to go with the tone, amp, etc AND you pulled it off. Great playing. Subscribed. One of the best reviews on this item. IF I were to critique, when reviewing/demoing amps, or modeled amps etc, please use more than one guitar. Sounded fantastic with the Tele. But, how does it sound with Humbuckers?
