FenderMustang Micro Personal Guitar Amplifier Bundle with Austin Bazaar Exclusive 12-Pack Picks and Instructional DVD

Very impressive device. Most tones sound and feel great to my ears/hands and I’ve played electric guitars since the 70’s. Now professional muso since the 80’s. Not a high gain guy can’t advise about some of those amps but the clean to dirty tones hit high scores in my book. I’d prefer slightly less compression for the ’65 Twin but backing off the guitar volume and cranking Mustang volume seemed to workaround excessive squish.Most every model is very useable and the device plays nicely with connectivity, bluetooth, charging and sound capture via USB-C. Great jamming tool and actually a useful Bluetooth mini phono headphone adapter for those of us with Lightening connector only iPhones. Also used similar manner in cars with line inputs to sound system.Relatively minor complaints - difficult to see the orientation of +/- switches. Not too big a deal if used regularly and familiar with the configuration/orientation but some visual contrast in those +/- recesses and the power ON/OFF/BT switches would go a long way to more easily enjoy this little guy right out of the box. LED colors can be a little difficult to tell which is what but scrolling usually finds a color I can easily distinguish and go from there.I tried other $40-$80 guitar headphone amps and they were okay but returned em once the Mustang Micro showed up. Fender Mustang Micro sounds great, bluetooth feature for jam tracks or simply routing bluetooth sound from phone to mini phono amplification such as automobile or powered speakers equipped with mini phono line inputs.Oh, the clean studio preamp is useable for acoustic or bass guitar. Majority headphone amps don’t seem to have that option. Can’t say much about battery life yet - it’s allowed hours of playing between charging so at this point ample capacity IMO.While the effects have limited editing they’re pretty close to what I expect from guitar effects. I kinda like like the preset speeds, levels and depths available. Very useable.Speaking as someone with pro experience using Helix, Fractal, Kemper, Fender modeling has been improving. These are the most convincing amp IR’s from Fender I’ve experienced to date.Would I attempt a full bore professional gig with this device? Probably not yet but for low-key casual gigs I would give it a shot using a mini phono or USB to XLR DI box.Update - Even more impressed since latest FW update 1.9.54Among minor tonal improvements to effects and increased volume for the Deluxe + Greenbox OD this FW also disconnects USB recording level from master volume and revised tone control to NOT affect BT audio. Other bug fixes and enhancements.MORE UPDATE - got my spare…Sadly people learning the hard way passive acoustic guitar pickups (UST) will not open the signal squelch circuit Mustang Micro employs to keep unwanted noise to a minimum. This is only a problem for acoustic pickups with NO onboard preamp. If your acoustic instrument requires a battery Mustang Micro will probably work for clean preamp setting. Patching after preamp (or wireless) seems to workaround the issue if you need to capture tracks into DAW or live performance. But it's no longer a simple headphone amplifier.Could be an “opportunity” for the bright minds at Fender to offer something more specific to passive acoustic guitar UST systems? Heck yeah, some of that acoustic IR stuff they’ve developed of late. Mic IR’s, preamp and efx choices tailored towards UST passive systems in a similar Micro format/package.UPDATE- Still my favorite quick amp solution for electric guitars.Recently allowed my #2 unit sit unused for a month or two and happy to report battery suffered very little SOC loss. Measured resulting charge about 7mAh needed to top off. Little more than 1% capacity loss.

This amp should be sold with every starter pack that Fender sells. It has great portability and features. It fits good on my Stratocaster with the output jack but not as well on my Telecaster with the bottom output jack. I got patch cable for my Tele so I can access the controls easier. There is an assortment of amp mods that are available that are nice. Some of the effects are in stereo so with your headphones sound really cool. You can Bluetooth to you phone, tablet or computer which will allow you to play along with songs. This is a nice feature and I use it a lot with YouTube tutorials or music videos. I’ve also connected it via usb to my computer and recorded into a digital audio workstation and it works well. You can also directly connect it to a PA system and use it that way. Oh and great for new guitarist when learning because you won’t disturb others! 😀

When I first started playing I had to bring out a heavy amp and then plug headphones into the amp if I wanted to be quiet. This is such a cool invention. You just plug the headphones directly into it and have the same options that an amp gives you. I love being able to suck quietly now without worrying about anyone hearing me.

I spent several hours researching the best and also easy to use headphone guitar amps, and found it interesting that all the competition, such as Nux knock down Fender's mustang for having less features and cheap quality. First of all, this feels like an excellent quality, well-made device. Secondly, it has plenty of features, doesn't require a phone and programming knowledge. It is perfect for what it was designed for, practicing without blasting the amp for those around me. I took it out of the box, plugged it to my bass, plugged in my headset and started jamming. Done. I also paired with my TV for youtube lessons, music sync, etc. Highly recommend.

This is my favorite pocket amp like this, it is just built out of plastic and kind of likes to slide around a little bit in my guitar and my bass, but I'm pretty sure that is a problem with my instruments not the product. This thing has everything from funky auto wah stuff, echoy psych reverb sounds, hard métal and punk sounds, i love this thing, and for the cherry on top you can use it as an input on your computer like an interface, and i have not had a problem doing so at all. I will say however when I bought this I was under the impression that there was some kind of phone app that connected to it, there is not, but this thing is still great otherwise, my only problem is the plastic construction and I'm not sure how much abuse it can take but as of now it seems sturdy enough.

Through the years I’ve had a number of headphone amps that are more trouble than “sound.” This Fender Mustang Micro is the best. It’s special and very versatile. I love the amp modeling and effects. It’s also Bluetooth and USB out to record and computer. Preamp it out to an amp for great sounds.

Conceptually, a great idea. To just pick up the ax and play into headphones... ANYWHERE. Amps, EQ, & Effects are both fun and 'effective'. Battery life is excellent. Build quality appears to be solid.

This personal in your ear amp allows me to play as loud and as bad as I play without my wife or my neighbors hearing a thing. This is a must have for every electric guitar player no matter your ability. As a 77 year old this allows me to relive my younger days. This little unit has 12 different amps with any variation you can dream of. You like a clean sound - it’s there. You like distortion - as much as you want. You like reverb - enough to make dizzy. The tone quality is fantastic. IMHO, if every person in the world had an electric guitar and one of these micro amps we would have world peace.
