I did a fair amount of research before purchasing this product through a number of YouTube product reviews. I would suggest doing the same as there is really nothing to hide here. This device would be a welcome edition to any guitar players gear bag. I'm using it with a set of Presonus studio headphones but it sounds just as great with some $1 shoestring earbuds from Dollar Tree for practice. The uniqueness of this device is that it offers 12 distinctive amp sounds that you can dial in with modify & effects (presets). Now don't expect a Marshall stack at this price point. But the sound, versatility, portability and some absolute KILLER tones eminating from a device not much bigger than a Matchbox car. Amazon offers a padded case that fits the unit. Battery Life is unbelievable. You'll be thinking how long does this thing run on a charge? Pretty damn long. Kudos 👍 to whoever designed this at Fender. Take a guitar, gig bag, small headphones or portable Bluetooth speaker and your able to practice anywhere on the run. The best feature is likely the ability to stream a backing track via Bluetooth and play simultaneously through 1 of the 12 amp presets including an acoustic electric. It's even possible to tweak the preset output with a few slight adjustments up or down using the Modify button. So any guitarist should be able to dial in a desired setting that they're happy with.Mark Held, Former Purchasing Manager, Fender Musical Instruments Corp.

I am a 36 year old father that loves to just play some bass in the small amount of downtime that I have, and have been looking for a headphone amp that I can plug into my iPad for Yousician and play with headphones. Holy crap this thing has delivered on that plus more. You literally just plug this into your guitar/bass, plug in headphones, plug in a usb cable to your ipad, phone, computer, whatever and you are done. Just make sure the input device is selected as Fender Mustang, then pair the Fender Mustang to the device via bluetooth so you have audio coming back through to your headphones, and you are done. 2 cables, no more spaghetti mess of cables to go from your PC, to audio interface, to amp, etc. And to top everything off, it sounds great going through different cabs for bass. Adding effects makes it even better, I play a MM Stingray and being able to easily adjust through different models and effects easily to find the tone I usually like was so easy. Price for this is incredible for what it can do. Now if I want to leave the house and just go chill at the park, listen to my favorite music to play with, or practice with Yousician I feel the freedom that I can without packing 13 different things with me.Here is a quick list of pro's and cons after playing with it for a little bitPros -Small form factor, tons of amp models and effects to choose from.Easy modification of effects and changing of effectsFlawless function on iPad, PC, and Android (Tested all)Sounds incredible with bassEasy changing of effectsGreat battery lifeUSB C!!!!!!Build qualityCons -Effect combinations - There are effects that are combined together. I'd like to be able to choose single effect over a combination.Honestly that's about the only complaint I can think of.

40+ years of playing & been through many fx units in my day. Gotta say this unit is really impressive! For starters the size & portability is amazing. You'd think it can't be that great for that alone but don't be fooled. The stereo effects are very good with lots of options. Granted you can't dial in everything to your exact liking, but with the many presets & adjustments you can make, it's very usable. You can pipe in backing tracks via Bluetooth to play along and mix the guitar with the music easily. Very inspiring for a quick practice without all the fuss and restrictions of a full rig. Plug in headphones and play anywhere and walk around or stroll in the park. I bought a mini strat to accompany it so I can play on road trips from the passenger seat without my headstock in the drivers face. You can also plug it into your recording console or amps. Some challenges with it are as follows. The 3.5mm plug sticks out and is vulnerable to being broken if you happen to hit it. The fx buttons on the side are a bit awkward to access while plugged into the guitar. There's no presets so getting from one fx to another is a manual process. If you had a small male to female guitar cord you could velcro it onto the face or edge of the guitar to protect the cable & access the buttons better. I'm hoping Fender improves upon the design for future models, but for what it is, it's fabulous!

I was looking for a headphone Amp so I could practice anywhere I wanted without having to lug around my bulky Katana 50 . After reading the reviews , I decided to give this a try. I had a couple of issues at first - 1. The jack didn't plug in snug on my guitar and 2. There was a lot of "static" even in the pre-amp. After a bit of digging I realized the issue was with the connector on the guitar and some of the same issues happened with the Katana as well. Once I replaced the connector, this works like a charm. The quality of sound is amazing and you can get a wide variety of sounds which should be sufficient for any style of music. The Equalizer is really good and even though it only has 5 modes but they are distinct enough to get a good balance without dedicated Bass and Treble controls. The bluetooth function is great and you can stream backing tracks/music without any delays from your computer/phone/tablet. The charge lasts a good 3-4 hours so you can get good use out of it without charging. You can use it while charging as well for really long sessions if you want.While this is definitely one of the more expensive headphone amps , but given it's versatility and quality I would say it is totally worth it.

One of the most impressive little tools I own for my guitars. It's legit a good-sounding in-ear amp with multiple settings, tones, reverb, etc. Love it. If you want a practice amp or just something to mess around with while traveling, this is probably one of the best buys you could go for.

This product is amazing. The Mustang Micro came at the right time. I wanted to pickup the guitar again but didn't want to buy an amp. I have a 9 month old so trying to find time to plug in an amp and play at loud decibels would have been near impossible. I knew the Vox amplug has been in the market for a while and I was considering purchasing one until I found out this came out. Save your money and get this product! You get 12 amps with different effects so you can play a wide range of music. It comes with a card that shows the different amps and the effects. They are color coded and just press a button and you have a different sound. I haven't tried it yet but you can connect to Bluetooth and play a backtrack on your phone and it will play on your headphones. This will allow you to jam out and perfect those solos! If you are a beginner and wanting to get a starter amp I suggest getting one of these because you will get a wide variety and the sound is amazing. I don't think a starter amp will have the great sound as this does.*Update- Bluetooth Backing trackRecently I have been the bluetooth feature and playing a backing track off my phone and being able to jam out with headphones on. This feature I believe is the best part of this whole thing. I'm a beginner player and it is fun to just solo and learn different techniques. Currently using Youtube to find backing tracks but you can use Spotify as well.

I was new to the idea of being able to use many amps and effects, electronically, rather than buying all of them separately. I went out and bought a Scarlett, and tried the Volt, audio interfaces. They were great, except I needed to install software to use them. I realized that I wasn’t ever going to produce records, or do high quality recordings to sell. I’m just an amateur guitar player that would like to practice on my own and not wake up the kids. Then, I found the Fender Mustang Micro! It has done everything I hoped it would. It’s a tiny little all-inclusive device that stores 12 amps and many other effects I will probably never get to. I don’t have to install software, just plug in my over the ear headphones, or the cheap old school apple plug in headphones, and it sounds GREAT!!! I went to Guitar Center, and was able to sit down and play multiple guitars without bothering anyone. I highly recommend any noob go there and use this to find out what guitar you like! The only downside is, the guitar I own is a Martin acoustic with 9v powered preamp. It seemed to work, at first, and then went silent. I called Fender, who told me that most acoustic pickups are not strong enough to transmit the signal through the Mustang Micro (not exactly in those words). I asked if there might be a future firmware update to fix this, and it sounded like that wasn’t off the table. If this worked with acoustics, it would be absolutely perfect. But, for what it is, it’s already perfect enough. The sound is great, and really sounds like you’re sitting in a room with the actual amps and pedals. Highly recommend!!!

Je suis très étonné qu’un objet aussi petit et léger puisse sortie un son aussi bon. J’ai essayé sur ma Jazz Bass, on retrouve le son fender. Et sur les guitares c’est le même constat, on retrouve le son Hendrix avec une start’. C’est incroyablement bon pour le prix ! Avec le backtrack Bluetooth c’est le top ! Bravo à Fender de sortir un produit aussi bon. Alors par contre moi je l’ai essayé avec un casque Sony WH-1000XM3 qui est une pépite en terme de son. J’imagine qu’avec des écouteurs c’est pas la même expérience.

Just brilliant stuff. Get it. Tech Marvel. Sounds absolutely fabulous.

Este amplificador portátil es la mejor inversión que he hecho en mi proceso de retomar la guitarra eléctrica, después de 20 años sin tocar. No tengo palabras para describir lo agradecido que estoy de haber encontrado este aparatito.Les dejo aquí mi reseñea honesta después de cerca de 1 mes de uso del Fender Mustang Micro conectado a mi Gretsch Streamliner Junior Jet Club G2215-P90.Acompaño además con este video donde pruebo varias funcionalidades: amplificadores, efectos, moduladores, ajuste de tono y volumen. El video fue grabado conectando el Fender Mustang Micro a mi Gretsch G2215-P90, usando en todo momento la pastilla P90 del mástil, y sacando el audio a través de un cable USB-C conectado directamente a mi teléfono Android, grabando con la App "Dolby On".Por favor no se burlen de mi poca habilidad, como dije antes, llevo casi 20 años sin tocar y estoy re-aprendiendo, una vez más, de manera autodidacta :)DISEÑO Y ESPECIFICACIONES GENERALES:Lo primero que sorprende es como un dispositivo tan pequeño tiene una capacidad y un rango tan amplio de opciones, con una interfaz sumamente sencilla de entender y operar. Simplemente conectas a la guitarra con el jack, luego tus audífonos a través de la entrada 3.5 mm, enciendes y empiezas a tocar. Así de sencillo.Es pequeño (cabe en la palma de la mano), muy ligero, hecho con materiales de excelente calidad.AMPLIFICADORES, EFECTOS, MODIFICADORES, TONO Y VOLUMEN:Cuenta con 4 botones principales que utilizas para seleccionar y combinar entre: 12 amplificadores, 12 efectos, 5 niveles para ajustar el tono, y 6 niveles de modificadores de efecto.Los amplificadores te permiten variar desde tono limpio, añadiendo luego un poco de overdrive y finalmente distorsión. La idea es que cada amplificador representa el sonido y configuración de distintos amplificadores icónicos, como el '65 Twin, '57 Twin, '65 Deluxe, etc; pero en la práctica los uso principalmente para jugar con los distintos niveles de distorsión.Con relación a los efectos incluye: reverberación, chorus, flanger, trémolo, vibratone y delay, en distintas combinaciones. No controlas los niveles individuales de cada efecto sino que utilizas los combos que vienen preconfigurados, lo cual puede parecer limitado, pero en el uso diario resulta muy conveniente y fácil de manipular.Por último, los botones de tono y volumen te permiten ajustar el tono de lo que está sonando (de más agudo a más grave, o si se quiere, de más brillante a más opaco) y por otra parte los modificadores de efectos permiten realizar ajustes que tengas seleccionado, cambiando de más lento a más rápido, de menos reverberación a más reverbarción, etc.Cada botón cuenta tiene un led que va cambiando de colores y que indican qué amplificador, efecto, tono o modificador tienes seleccionado. Puedes combinarlos todos como quieras. Es realmente intuitivo. Además, en la caja viene una pequeña tarjeta que indica a qué corresponde cada color. En poco tiempo te aprendes los colores y combinaciones que más te gustan.Finalmente, tiene un control de volumen máster y un botón de encendido y apagado, que también funciona para activar la entrada de audio vía Bluetooth.CONECTIVIDAD y BATERÍA:Se conecta directamente a la guitarra a través del jack estándar 6.35 mm. Puedes mover el jack para que se adapte a tu tipo de entrada de la manera más cómoda posible. Solo lo he probado en modelos tipo Stratocaster y Les Paul, pero estoy bastante seguro de que debe funcionar en el 100% de las guitarras eléctricas.Adicionalmente viene con una entrada USB-C que funciona para: 1) recargar la batería interna, 2) actualizaciones de firmware y 3) lo más importante, para usarlo como salida de audio para grabar en tu teléfono o computadora. Viene con un cable USB-C corto, así que compré otro de 2 metros marca Ugreen para poder conectarlo cómodamente al teléfono o la compu.La batería dura muchas horas, en mi caso no se me ha agotado ninguna vez mientras estoy tocando. Solo lo he recargado tal vez 3 veces durante este mes. La carga es rápida, calculo que 1 hora.Una de las características más importantes es que viene con conectividad para entrada de audio vía Bluetooth, lo que significa que puedes enviar audio desde tu teléfono o computadora a tu Fender Mustang Micro y escuchar el audio mezclado del audio Bluetooth más tu guitarra, directamente en los audífonos. Esto es una funcionalidad INCREIBLEMENTE PRÁCTICA, pues puedes armar tus pistas rítmicas y luego reproducirlas para tocar con ellas al mismo tiempo, o enviar la señal de tu aplicación o video de clases de guitarra para tocar con ellas.CONCLUSIONES:Es perfecto para cualquier persona con cualquier nivel de experiencia con la guitarra eléctrica, desde principiantes como yo que queremos practicar sin necesidad de conectarte a un amplificador que termina molestando a los vecinos, o igualmente si eres un músico profesional que desea practicar mientras te mueves entre conciertos. No le veo ni un solo defecto.Me encantaría que tuviese un banco de memoria personalizado para poder guardar una configuración de amplificador y efectos, y un botón extra para alternar entre la configuración guardada y la configuración actual, de esta manera podría usarse como un switch para pasar rápidamente entre dos configuraciones, cómo si fuese un pedal tipo footswitch. Imagino que en el futuro incluirán esta función.

This is the perfect practice tool for people like me who can mostly practice with headphones. The effects sound pretty good, good enough for practice anyway. It also works for bass guitars. The Bluetooth integration is seamless and can stream YouTube or Spotify to play along with.One thing I wish it could do is control the effects with the Fender Tone app. The app exists to control tones and effects with the GT and GTX series of amps, so would have been cool to control it for the Micro as well. Changing effects with the buttons on the unit is a bit cumbersome, but a small cheat sheet is provided to tell you what’s what. Would have been sweet if the app had favourites or presets so you can switch between them with a tap instead of a certain combination of button presses. Still, for what this is, it’s a great little thing and worth the money for us late night practicers.I attached a photo of how it looks on a Strat, in case anyone was curious how it would fit.

Bought one of these from Amazon five months ago, very pleased with it. So much so that I just bought another one that was on offer from Amazon. I can leave one in my humbucker guitar and one in my single coil guitar. That way I can leave each one on the settings that I prefer for each guitar. At first sight, it might seem expensive for a small headphone amp, but in reality, many guitar pedals cost more, and only perform very limited functions. It plugs into a Les Paul and Strat type input jack perfectly (it's actually easier to see the controls in the LP guitar body). Not tried it in a Telecaster socket yet, but on line reviews say that's fine too. The 65 Twin with Compression setting certainly produces that classic squashed comp sound, ideal for country style, add some built in slap back delay for country/rockabilly. The 65 Deluxe setting is a cleaner tone, very nice, add built in reverb or delay to taste. I am used to a Fender Tube Amp, but this headphone amp does a very good job (nice Fender tone with a Strat). The Bassbreaker 15 setting is great for Rock, especially with humbuckers. Surprisingly, the Uber setting is also very useable for even more distortion. Streaming in backing tracks via Bluetooth (YouTube or Spotify) works well. The blend of playing to a backing track via good headphones really encourages you to play more, and pick up the timing and nuances of a song. I achieve the overall 6 hour play time between re-charge, even when streaming in backing tracks via Bluetooth. Expect battery life will diminish over the years. The volume control on the headphone amp is a bit too sloppy; could be improved with a more positive feel. The British 70's setting has a curios bloom/noise trail at the end of a note (like a compressor bloom). This is the same on both headphones amps that I have; maybe that is representative of the amp that it emulates? Overall a very useful tool and fun to use.
