Quote from: adamquek, post: 29959232, member: 4960Maybe I misunderstood their marketing, is this like the Vox amPlug, with the settings controlled via an app, and with Bluetooth streaming to the device? I thought it was a wireless interface for a smartphone, with the amp modelling handled by the smartphone.

The DSP is inside the Nux Mighty Plug, and all processing occurs there
Its basically like Waza Air without the Gyro sensing headphones

The NUX Mighty Plug IOS/Android App is available now to get acquainted with all the features

(and unlike Waza Air) Nux Mighty Plug  also works as a wired USB Audio Class Compliant Interface to record Mighty Plug DSP processed sound into a Win/Mac DAW

Mighty Plug employs same DSP as NU>X Mighty BT20/40 Amps

Quote from: bulbasaur_85, post: 30075045, member: 33613Thanks for the info.  I was hoping for another option for folks to be able to have some "quiet/silent" practicing while still using their pedalboard as an "end of pedalboard" solution - something that has power amp/cab/IR modeling.
^ Nux Mighty Plug should actually work for that application


^ TWO NUX Mighty Plugs side by side at NAMM

One point that many miss  on the Nux Mighty Plug spec - it requires a Wired 3.5mm TRS connection to your Stereo Headphones.

The Bluetooth is for the wireles Android / IOS control app, and wireless receiving audio backing tracks from your smartphone.

     Nux Mighty Plug also works as a USB Class compliant Audio interface for Win / Mac - but this is a feature exclusive to the Nux Mighty Plug,and not shared with the Nux Mighty Air amp



===

Quote from: bulbasaur_85, post: 30078919, member: 33613Thanks for pointing that out.  So you can use the USB feature to jam along with tracks?
Yes, or stream Bluetooth audio into it to play along with YouTube guitar teachers on your smartphone.

It has an internal rechargeable  Battery

https://fccid.io/2AOAA-MP-2/Internal-Photos/Internal-photos-4628726

concern is in 2026 swapping out a failed internal rechargeable battery for a new one

I'm sure I'll post a DIY how to by then  -

There are FCC compliance test pics of the internals

It not in english, but so far this is the most comprehensive NUX Mighty Plug MP-2 video available

Towards the end Demonstrates the Acoustic Sims and how the built in momentary switch toggles between 4 internal memory presets.

Part of the appeal of Mighty plug is minimalism - just showing up at local songwriters showcase gigs (after the coffeehouse / bars / wineries re-open) with a Strat and Mighty Plug loaded with my 4 favorite patches - no need for the smartphone app and being able to just use an adapter cable to plug Mighty Plug Output into the stage DI box to feed the house PA

also can be used as a DSP upgrade for your older gear that has AUX Input ( Mustang, Blackstar, Cube Street Amps - just connect Mighty Plug to the Aux Input

Preliminary review of NUX Mighty Plug MP-2

Not Bad.

Used a Strat and ATH-M50X Headphones


its a bit picky about the Bluetooth connect order
I'm on Android 9 ( LG V20 Phone)
I found it best to NOT pair the Bluetooth Audio yet.

1st launch the NUX Mighty App, and be sure the Mighty Plug is selected in the App's SETTINGS - and disable the ECO Mode ( which saves battery life) - else the app disconnects after a few minutes of inactivity)

This common NUX Mighty App also controls several other NUX products - but it will only connect to Mighty Plug MP-2 via BLE after you assign the MIGHTY PLUG as the "Current AMP" type)

Using the App, It can swiftly change from Guitar Mode to Bass Mode. I found the three Bass mode presets actually work well for Rhythm Guitar and the Funk Bass preset has an Auto touch wah for funky rhythm guitar.
I found the Mighty Plug's Guitar Mode 4 default tones were brittle  - too bright, no body, lacked warmth, but easily fixed by altering the "IR" Cab sim to one of the 4x12 models and hit SAVE

Many effects Are Stereo, and  there is no onboard Volume control - but its apparent there are 24 bits of dynamic range available.

Engaging the Drums worked well straight away  - the Drum engine is inside the Mighty Plug MP-2 hardware  - heard them in my headphones,

But after you have established the NUX Mighty App Edit Mode connection  - you can proceed to Pair the Bluetooth Audio between your Android / IOS device and the Mighty Plug MP-2 - you will see Two Blue status lights Glowing on the side of the Mighty Plug MP-2  - indicating both BLE and Bluetooth Audio are connected

Now you can use Backing JamTrack Music and hear this in your headphones as these are streamed from the internet

I also launched Youtube and successfully jammed along to Youtube Audio streamed via Bluetooth from my Android phone  - with all audio in my Mighty Plug connected Headphones

I also installed the ASIO USB Audio driver and in REAPER the MIGHTY PLUG appears as a NUX Stereo 1/2 INPUT /  Stereo 1/2 Output Audio device

I recorded clean 24 bit @ 48kHz stereo audio via USB cable from Mighty Plug MP-2 into my Reaper DAW on my Windows laptop.
Note only the Guitar with its stereo FX are output via USB Audio -= No Drums , No Backing Tracks, No Bluetooth Audio
I wish the effects chain order could be swapped ( all effects are fixed locations )
- and in Guitar MODE there are 4 presets - swiftly selected in 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4 order using the top momentary switch on the Mighty Plug MP-2 .

1# CLEAN  - which is restricted to 3 amp models : Twin Reverb, JC-120, Tweed Deluxe

2# OD - which is restricted to 3 amp models: Marshall Plexi, Vox AC30 Top Boost, Marshall Lead 100

3# DIST - which is restricted to 3 amp models:Freeman, Diezel VH4, Mesa Rectifier

4# AC SIM -which is restricted to 2 NUX Acoustic Sim models: Optima, Stageman


In Bass mode there are 3 presets , which all are restricted to Melvin L Davis, AGL

But there are lots of built in IR Cab choices in both modes  and several are very good, and this makes all the difference in this being a tool vs a toy 
( no third party CAB IR file support)

What's the charge time people are getting?
is the green light flashing when charging like the manual says or is it solid like mine
maybe the charge time changes if putting at end of pedalboard?
this is a great sounding handy item but im seem to be having issues
want make sure its not user error

Mine will be here Friday. I wanted something to have with me at work and on the road. I use my Lil' Ibanez Mikro for practice because it's so small.
How do you guys like this product? Any issues with it? Seeing the FCC links brought back memories of when I used to mod things. That was my goto site for internal information.

I'm delighted with mine.  Very handy for learning tunes and sounds quite good.

I have received mine today. What I can tell you for the time being is that is not noisy and the sound is quite correct. I  can play over audio files in my  phone and youtube videos and backing tracks. I have used it for 2 hours only, but I can say this is unbelievable for this price!!!!

I purchased this unit few weeks ago and just like many of you I also find it very limiting not to be able to save presets on my phone. So I decided to write my own app. Here is an early alpha version of it. Not only you can use it to save presets on your phone but also to select any amp in any channel. And it's not only amps. You can use all the IRs everywhere. It turns out the limitation is just that NUX amp didn't list them all

https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/nux-mighty-plug-headphone-interface.2119324/page-20#lg=attachment321123&slide=0
You can download the android version from my github and the source code is also available:
https://github.com/tuntorius/mightier_amp/releases/tag/0.2.0

Sorry that I can't provide an ios version, but I don't have a mac to build it. If there are any apple developers around here, they can use my source code. It's mostly platform independent as it's written in Flutter.

Note the app is in very early stage. There are lots of unfinished things and probably many bugs. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I'll post updates when more features are stable
