@@joshleenall Nice! It looks like a great upgrade then. For some reason mine rattles even at normal bedroom levels with some FX. I tried a Katana Mini and no rattle issue even on higher volumes, I am guessing it is the cabinet size, not enough space to move the low frequencies from the speaker.
I love how enthusiastic you are. Too many people who can't get the sound they want in 5 seconds say something is a load of crap. Well listen to the clean sounds he is getting here.fabulous!
What a player!!! Mannnnnnnnn…. What I love about this video most is that, due to the low volume of the amp, we get to more obviously appreciate your use of switching between bridge and neck pickups!
I would also add Dave, in these rather irksome times…on my island, your playing, enthusiasm and happiness just brings me a lot of joy….what a top bloke you are….have a cracking 2022…..now I have to wait for my very early birthday present….still got past the wife’s eagle eyes….bit of a result..cheers
You are my new Favorite YT guitar guy!!! You are so real and honest and one awesome guitar player, not just because of your technical prowess, which you have in spades, but because of your raw infectious joy when you are playing...Its a real joy to watch!!! I don't need another practice amp, but I will buy this one just because I want to get just a touch of the inspiration you seem to get from it...You can just play!!! as you said!!!
Apart from this incredible amp….that I’ve just gone and bought…..I am so impressed with your content…and hell, just knew as soon as I saw you…..yep that just sold it to me…..you are incredible…and boy you feel your music….fantastic
I got one of these a few weeks ago. Absolutely fantastic unit loud to. Alot of fun for your desk,coffee table. Or the outdoors. Plus its wireless. +10. Win..
Dave this has to be my favorite ever video of yours. Lost count how many times you say you love it 🤣 You are so inspired in this vid, it's a beautiful thing to witness. Am pissing myself at how giddy you are over this thing. YOU EFFING LEGEND MR SIMPSON
This is a killer amp that I waited ages for but got it the day it came out in the UK. I still use my BT mighty lite, but the air is amazing. I love driving somewhere and sitting in the car jamming away with it.
“ Ahem now then, what have we here!” “Good constanoon officer. I’m just rehearsing on the way to the gig.” While driving?” “Sir! You cannot be in total control”-“ you’re right officer, I did fluff the solo a couple of times.”
I bought this 2 months ago, I agree with you and I think it's amazing! It has a lot of functionality, but not all of it sounds good in terms of amps (for me there's one decent in every category). As a beginner I had a bit of trouble getting to know the amps, EQ and effects because I just didn't know anything about how they work. However, once you spend some time to get to know the functionality and find 3 tones that you like you can finally focus on the thing that actually improves your tone - learning how to play properly.
@@m0dmengamer If you want it for home I'd suggest Nux mighty air, if you want something more powerful and with more functionality check Boss Katana and Positive grid
@dave I hope you are reading this, concerning your volume fuzzing problem: it's normal and happens to my mighty air as well. But there has been a firmware update in August, that fixed the volume slider, making the overall output lower. Before the speakers started to fuzz at really low slider settings (Ike 1/4 or 1/3).now the volume has been adjusted and the fuzzing starts in the upper quarter. Secondly, there used to be bugs with the pedals section before the firmware update. Some pedals like the rat and the Muff where just another 3-band eq. After the update everything works as intended and I loooove the rat distortion on this amp! I've had it since August and it is just as good as you advertise! I can play pretty much everything on this amp and can nail every sound from Pink Floyd over Led Zep, AC DC, Muse to Metallica. I too love the JZ120 teamed wit the JZ120 cabinet and the 3 band eq you get such amazingly clear and sparkling strat tones... And the best thing: no wires! Just chilling on the couch, I even pay laying down now for extra chill points. I wonder why this amp is not more popular and gets more coverage here on YT.
I just updated but it rattles at about 45 50 percent maybe I have the bass too high? I really don’t need it that loud as it’s just to jam around. In the living room without wires and a mess I keep it at around 40%
This little amp is so cool. I got the Blackstar Fly 3 because of Dave, I love it and i can get really nice from tones from it, but the lack of reverb is not to ideal. I would definitely consider the Mighty Air! :)
Ok…updated from my last message…….wow wow wow…..at last someone with immense talent that just plays with soul….and explains as it is…brilliant..thanks for doing the video..Karl on the island of Jersey
I have one of these. Has some great sounds in it... and some bad ones too. Best to find a two or three you like and save to the presets. It’s true the speakers are not really up to the job. Need to keep the levels around 30, above that it gets a bit nasty. Aside from that it is a very fun and very portable little unit. The wireless is great
The speaker fizz is because small speakers can't handle the power of the amp and starts to distort but not in a good way like real guitar speakers do. Also the power section of the amp that was designed to work on battery power is clipping because of the technical limitations of the ICs used for the power amp. Many battery powered bluetooth speakers will act like this when pushed hard.
Great demo. Really good to hear room mics only. My concern has been lack of clean volume but it sounds like it's loud enough. I need to stream original songs from laptop / phone, play guitar wirelessly and sing along so I'd be interested in any thoughts on volume in that scenario. Thanks Dave for a great demo!
Hi Dave, because of your video I went and bought a bullet strat. Delivered today and by god it's my No 1 guitar already, cannot believe how loud it is unplugged! The finish is great, I got a lake placid blue and it rocks, the pick-ups put my strat with Alnico V pickups to shame. Can now see why a master like Jack Person swears by bullets. Cost 125 with shipping!
Awesome review Dave. Practical and realistic description of the product. And I love the part where you're fiddling with the amp in order to get maximum spaceyness.
Hey Dave - I think I just found my Christmas present from the family ;) Thank you for your continued wonderful videos and I hope your new adventure in France fills you with (even more) joy and love Bisous x
Dave.Your video of this amp is awesome.I never heard about this thing. At this day. After watching your video , I watched another videos from another youtubers, but never was buy this amp, if not seen you video.With camera microfon, at room situation You get very professional sounds from this thing.You are awesome and I believe you because you test objectively, impartially.Thanks for your channel.(Sorry for my English:) )This amp probably the best all in one thing.Is ultra portable, no need cable.Is light, sound is good, has enough good sounding effects, no need battery, is full wireless, is a stereo bt speaker, the price is acceptable.Obviously a Spark or a Roland or a Wox sounds better, but how big is? Not full wireless and the price is highest. So for me this amp is the greatest for quick and easy practice , anywhere , for listening music anywhere without cables and without replacement of power and battery.Thank You for your work,you help people a lot.👍🏻You are great.
Hold on ... did Dave actually mention "Robin Trower?" After all these years - I think it's a first! And perhaps some Trower-esque, brooding ballad ideas on UniVibe will visit Dave in France, sud ouest.
I was worried about buying this amp and being disappointed. However, thanks to your detailed video, I am totally convinced that this is going to be perfect for me and my needs. Cheers mate.
@@My-Channel_forever Yes, I bought one 6 months ago and I love it. It's perfect for me. I can also plug in headphones so no-one else can hear me practice. The volume is great and it sounds brilliant for such a small amp. The only wires around are those of my headphones, if I'm using them. With all of the different sounds available it's far easier to play and sound like the music you are trying to emulate. You should be able to find examples of the sounds on a number of RU-vid videos. Good luck and Cheers.
Just got this amp. Had the mighty bt smaller brother. But this thing is insane. I have a thr30ii but use this too and it fits right in the gigbag for teaching
NUX seem to have really great products for very little money...I've had my eye on the NUX MG300 multieffects/modeller and from what I've seen and heard in reviews it really kicks *** I venture you'd love it too Dave. I'll let you know when I get one, hopefully soon!
Great review Dave!☺ Love your enthusiasm and passion for this tiny amp! So pleased you recommended the app sometimes I feel these apps can be option overload 😮... but this looks easy and great sounding! Love your exciting gear reviews look forward to seeing the next!☺
Your guitar playing is truly mesmerising! I love the fact you play something new at the start of every vid! You need to make an album of just guitar tracks. Jeff Beck style!
I was searching for a review on the HB tube15 celestion and I fell over yours and watched the whole hour 😅 Now I’m here, well into this one and subscribed 👍 You groovy son of a ...
Just bought a NUX Mighty Bass 50 BT. Early days but loving this thing. Used for a practice on Tuesday with DI and it was all I could have expected. Must turn the Uni Vibe up... Did you have the IR on?
That’s Amazing Davie I purchased on of these Yesterday and it will be perfect for me, I love Your playing and all the great tones you found & used to great effect, do you have any teaching videos???!!!👍😃😎✌️
Btw the crackling might be cpu overload. Reverb is cpu hungry or lots of stacked fx. It’s like when you reduce the buffer on your pc/laptop sound card and run a few plugins, it takes it’s toll.
Hi Dave, great video as always! If you want to record the screen on your phone you just have to open the notification bar (where you have wifi, bluetooth etc) and you should see an icon that says "screen record" If you don't see it you just have to tap on the pencil icon and you should be able to see it It is very convenient and it saves the video in your screenshots folder
Hi Dave, I just bought a Positive grid Spark 40 last week. So I'm sorted for a practice amp that you can use The Spark grid 40 can go much louder if required but basically they both appear to have all the same features. So, I'm just putting it out their that it as a rival. Take care everyone & stay safe.🎸🐈
But the Spark doesn't come with wireless plug and cannot run on battery. To make the spark "portable" you should add 150€ for a 19v power bank and some other bucks for the wireless plug. Than you will come closer in price and feature to the Yamaha THR 30 ii Wireless.
Dave, you are awesome! Love your joy when playing. I just bought one of these today to pair with an Anygig travel guitar to keep learning the basics. thanks for the vid!
Dave, do us a video on how to mic an amp. Might sound simple, but there's very little out there. And you know it makes difference. I am convinced it will help learners!
I can see why they sent that to YOU... :D Subscribed ^^ I have the guitar plug version, but I'm going to switch to this, because with the plug version, you still stuck with cables and the battery life on that isn't that good... *This is so good, I'd consider making a solid aluminum enclosure for it, like Genelec speakers...*
I bought yesterday one for Bass Guitar practice - it works pretty well. Tried wireless (Bass Guitar) + cabled (guitar) and it has a unique good sound (thinking of G&L Strat over Zoom G1Xfour @ cabled input + wireless BG); even could sing into BOSS micro BR80.
Wow Dave you make that tiny thing rock.... You're channelling Jimi. I want one of these...I hope the buzzing of a cracked speaker isn't a cracked speaker... I long for something simple and robust. I have a question: can you plug into the mains to save battery life? It's not loads of triple a batteries required is it ? It's one built in rechargeable battery ? like the 500 quid Bose si pro one speaker p.a ? Have you reviewed that Bose BTW? I'd love a proper electric guitarists opinion on that...looks a bit bloody special...Bose are very high quality hi fi generally. any plans to try it out for us??!!
It's proper tiny, sounds huge. Hard to get how loud it gets. Just about buskable? Is it a robust ? I want something built like a tank...ideally.. The little Yamaha Thr? The boss mini katana
I couldn’t help think of the poor nux translators when you said “this is stupid”. Their papers flew in the air like a bunch of pigeons on fire. Dave, you are an international treasure and we are better for it. Great, great sounds. But I can get the same sounds with the nux mighty plug for an insane price. Now that is STUPID!
Great little amp & sounds .. it reminds me of my Roland Cubelite 10 watts , that’s look like that and it’s not wireless ... My Cubelite have 2 • 3” speakers with 3 tone levels • heavy distortion • light distortion • clean channel besides chorus , reverb , bass , mids, treble. I use it when I’m stuck with a song or use it for shit & giggles 🤭 because it’s loud like yours.
Looks like I'm buying one, got the Katana mini which I love but this had much more and it's cheap considering. I'm not sure Dave likes it though. What's all this about France! ? Have i missed something?
This thing sounds incredible. How does it compare to the boss katana air? I have the katana air but I’ve seen the rave reviews on this little amp. I have a spark that’s way too bassy so it’s for sale. Love your style of playing brother!!
My treat myself to one of these. Would be interested to hear what it sounds like if you used the headphone out as a line out, and plugged it into an effects return on a proper amp and cab?
