The Fender Mustang Micro Is Magic! 

The guitar store suggestion is brilliant!

Another cool thing, to me, is that the micro can be used the same as a master volume and the guitar volume works like a gain control. Anyone who likes that trick of being able to sweep from clean to dirty from the guitar volume alone, the micro can do it. The FBE-100 or BassBreaker on clean have an incredible sound. Then just turn up the guitar for fuzz city!

I have one since a few months ago and it is amazing, so handy when you want to play outdoors or while travelling. Regardless that it doesn’t have a gain control, you have plenty of choices to get the sound you are after.

@4:32 The legendary lick of Guitar Movies. Glad you're back. Really cool about this device as I had my eye on it too. Thanks for the vid. Keep on keeping on!

Mate I absolutely love your RU-vid style mate Please keep making these videos as they are so honest and down to earth ..... a real breath of fresh air in a RU-vid world that’s becoming more of a an advertorial based platform than informative and entertaining but you have found a great niche amongst this and it’s bloody brilliant Cheers mate !

Saw this before it was released somewhere online. Glad you came thru with a review!

These should be mandatory in guitar shops!

I have it, and love it. It removes any barriers (physical or laziness) to playing for me. I also use it to stream backing tracks, and even just a metronome, into my headphones while playing. It encourages me to play my guitars more, which is absolutely worth $99 USD.

Great to see you are back. Classy as always!

Love it too! It's way more easy to revisit my guitar lines before our set. Plus, i can practice anywhere I want without disturbing anyone. Thank you, Fender!

Bought this a couple weeks ago. And I love it. Came with a small card with the same color guide as the box so you can throw away the box. Highly recommended.

Just bought this a few hours ago and its incredible for sure.

Looks good. Great to see you back!

That micro amp is definitely a game changer. I have been a fan of micro amps like vox...etc, but this fender mustang micro is fantastic !!

Great video, cinematic and straight to the point! Keep it up 👍🏽

I just got mine this week. BRILLIANT!

Great video! Just got mine today, but I was curious to see what others use it for. I got two great ideas from this video. 1- Playing by a river... and 2- trying guitars in a music shop without annoying anyone and being able to really compare guitars with the same settings. Thanks!

I got this yesterday and will try it on the quiet gigs I do, such as service clubs like VFW etc, and my Senior events. I'm using it with a Headrush powered cab

Welcome back! And brilliant idea using at a guitar shop, wish everyone would.

That clean Twin setting sounds really good for what it is. I do a lot of headphone playing because I’m rich enough to have guitars but too poor to own an isolated studio. I’ve been using an old Katana 50.

Excellent review dude. Thanks for posting!

I got one a week ago ,great little practice tool

I just got one of these and can't wait to try it out. That's a gorgeous Tele btw.

Can't wait for mine to come. Pretty excited to try it.

Just bought mine yesterday. Love it.

Great review. Very helpful. Now I am going to buy one!

Thanks for the video. When I can play loud(er) I play through my Marshall DSL 15w combo . When I want/need to play quiet, I play through my Vox Pathfinder 10w with headphones on. I like using the different amps for different purposes because I get a variety in my tone. However, no matter how loud I play with these damn headphones on I am unable to piss off my neighbors! 🎸

Vox has been making similar headphone amps and they are also fantastic. They're cheaper but have less bells and whistles (no Bluetooth, USBC out etc). I also love the pick up and play versatility they give. Sometimes you don't want to deal with pedals, cables, amps etc.)

Just got mine. Great review!

Best $99 I've spent on gear!

Have something similar, the Boss Pocket GT. Connects to guitar by a normal guitar cable. Ordered one of these as it’s more portable though less overall amp presets. Love these for practice. Hoping the RU-vid blue tooth link works for backing tracks. The Boss Pocket GT is supposed to do that as well but it doesn’t work the way it should and the work around is a hassle.

Been curious about this for a while. I keep my amp in my garage where I can play it loud and not bother people. Sometimes I hate going there because it's cold as hell and I hate playing wearing a sweater so I just stay indoors and play unplugged or acoustic. Might try it out.

Thanks for this. Got me intrigued. 👍🏽

Ordered it yesterday. It takes two month to deliver. (Spain, where I live) . But, sure this new toy deserves the long waiting period .

Wow I didn’t know I could also use it as an out with the USBC to my computer for recording. Sick!

I cut out that chart and keep it in my guitar case. I have this, a fender gtx 100 and a Bose S1 Pro and I play the mustang micro 95% of the time. My acoustic also sounds great using it. Friggin love it and it’s been 3 years or so

Thanks man great review I already bought mine like an hour ago I just wanted to watch a video about it so I can feel happy about my purchase while I eat lunch. But this was a great video by the way apparently watching you, you are able to record at the same time as you have your headphones plugged in that is pretty cool? .... Bubble Guppies? Lmao I have a 2 month old son so I guess I'm going to be looking forward to all those crazy little things. Cheers🤙🏽

You can also run this through an amplifier with a 1/8 in cable through an MP3 / Line In output

Great idea to use this to test guitars

Extremely helpful review. Thank you very much.

GOT MINE TODAY!!!! LOVE IT! BLOWS MY VOX AWAY!!!!.

Great review! Convinced me to order one 🙈😂👍

Nice , great review ! Thank you

The fact you can still use it to plug in your amp is amazing 😭😭 I just connnected a aux chord and connecter jack into it and BOOM it worked 😭 no more pedals and endless chords on the ground

Great video, as always.

Brilliant video. Thanks. My only wish was just a few cycles of the “mod” button. I’m buying one regardless

I think one big thing fender didn't get about making a pocket device like this is USB audio out so playing output from a mobile DAW through it while recording would be possible. The similar NUX and Mooer devices can, and the NUX can reamp. Those devices have their own issues but they both beat the fender micro for mobile multitrack recording even if they don't sound as good.

*3:40 I have one of these… and I didn’t think of that. Awesome idea man.

Imagine this device 20 or 40 years ago Like Damn !

Good to see a review of the Micro, there's not many out there. I'm another fan of the Vox Amplug (Classic Rock), it's good enough but is just one amp. So when this Micro came along I ordered one right away, still waiting. I wonder how the P-90s sound through it. I have a P-Rail curious how it sounds on the Fender amps.

+1 to the guitar store idea. Super!

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....

Hi :) amazing review !!!you can use it with a speaker like "Bose soundlink" with an aux jack 3,5mm ???thanks man

Very cool and creative. That looks like Lake Victoria up in Amesbury. Used to go fishing and swimming there.

Good point about taking it to test new guitars with a fixed aural reference point!

Excellent - need to grab one !!!

Just bought a Squire Sonic Mustang and this Fender Micro Mustang plugin amp thing for my 10 year old daughter to learn guitar on. Less than £250 for all of it which seems crazy value. If she doesn't end up using it then I certainly will!

This is a great to have. Keep on guitar case. Okay anywhere anytime. Also under 200 beaks? Get on it!

Sounds a lot better than those Vox amplug s that I’ve had so many of

Happy owner here! it's just amazing.

I just really can’t get into it, though I’ve tried. I think on vacation it will be perfect. I can’t believe they didn’t add gain stages to each amp, and the short cable is dumb. But, it plugs straight in to a macbook and that makes recording fun. I don’t think it sounds great though. Good for getting down ideas.

Production quality!!

When you BT your phone backing track through and jam with it, can you >still< record (tracks and guitar with effects) to the DAW?

Yes!!! This thing is amazing!! Specially because is bluetooth!!

i ordered this and i am so excited!

The modulated reverb really is ridiculous! That's my favorite effect as well. With headphones on, it makes you lose track of time to be honest.

Cool 😎 i’m going to buy an electric guitar eventually I’m going to buy one of those two that’s pretty cool that way I don’t have to drag her an amplifier around with me most of the guitars I have an hour all acoustics but that will work great I like the video thanks 🎸😎👍🏼👍🏼

How are you doing this? Are there headphones and aux out at the same time? Or are you using a splitter?

If it's acting as interface. Can I use it with amplitube 5 effects and output sound via external DAC -> amplifier -> speakers ?

You can also just plug this onto any speaker with a 9mm input and can start playing so everyone can hear too.

So would I be able to connect to wireless/ Bluetooth speakers through mini jack ?

I wonder if I can use the Mustang Micro for online live lessons, through my laptop (windows 10). I need to ear what I'm playing through my headset without latency and my teacher should be able to ear me playing and speaking. Is it possible? What I need to do? Thanks for your help

Last 3 Samsung phones I had came w/ USB C lol, cool vid though. I've got the Vox AC version of this from a few years ago- nice little gadget.

Can you connect this thing before an amp? So that we get the effects from this little thing and the big sound of the amp?

Is there a way to use a Mustang Micro for adding reverb to an old tube amp that doesn't have reverb ?

Great review...this has sold me on getting one. Fender should pay you a 'finders fee'..... Your video production value is really great too man [I'm in the biz], really well done, keep up the good work. To Fender: I'm not color blind, but the "color coded" feature on the box and unit...may not work for colorblind folk? Just a thought.

Even lithium, battery would need a replacement in abt 3 years, is there such option ?

So what Bluetooth devices are able to connect to it? Are wired headphones required instead of Bluetooth ones? Thinking about buying.

Is it possible to play a song from your phone via device to headphones and still use this micro amp?

Could this be plugged into an adapter which is plugged straight into my phone for live streaming ?

Does this work with the cup style jacks that are on some Teles?

It's a great headphone amp but still not available in my country.. Did you direct record it with the usb interface?

Compared ro the valeton mixro amp ? At 1/3rd rhe peice or less?

Mustang micro. Can you Bluetooth the audio from the guitar straight to a Bluetooth speaker? Instead of using the 3.5mm cable connection

I have it; it is amazing

How about its sond quality compared to audio interface modem?

Is there a fender app associated with it where you can adjust your eq and gain levels? Or is it just plug and play, no customization other than the volume and tone on your guitar itself?

great video!

Do you need a separate speaker? Or is the sound coming out if it.

Do you have any issues with 60 cycle hum? If so, how do you deal with it?

I have the fender micro amp sounds awesome

Very cool. I’ve got an iRig, and it’s annoying having the extra wire connected to my phone in addition to the instrument cable. This product gets rid of both of those wires. On the other hand, I appreciate being able to use my phone to call in delay or other effects. Besides different amp models, does the mustang micro have built in effects, and if so, are they easy to manipulate without a display? Seems like a trade off between the iRig requiring more wires, but perhaps the mustang micro not having a display. What are your thoughts, wise sir?

The black stripes white pickguard on the Tele looks so good... did you design it yourself? btw very well made review

Does it have to be through headphones or does it play aloud from the phone?

What Headphone goes well with this Amp? Can it support Bluetooth Headphone?

Can you Bluetooth it to a Bluetooth speaker and play without headphones?

How does this compare to the Vox Amplug2 micro amps?

I've been using the "Rushead Max Valeton" Micro amp for some months now and have been impressed, it really is amazing, but when I see this Mustang thing, wow.. For the ones wondering, here are the advantages and disadvantages: Advantages of Mustang compared to Valeton: -Modulator to change effects' intencity -Lots of settings -Probably lots of presets -Bluetooth connection -Usb c connection -Foldable jack -Valeton has some gain even when in clean settings Advantages of Valeton: -Charges super fast! -Insane good sound for Metal and Rock -Cheap, only ~30$ instead of 100$ for Mustang Disadvantages of Valeton compared to Mustang: -Unfortunately you can't modulate too much the effects -Also can't record from there

Can you use it to stream to any bluetooth receiving device or is it only good with headphones?

Cool decoboom pickguard
