NUX Mighty Air (One Of The BEST Cheap Amps?)
Today we're checking out the Mighty Air by NUX. Some people seem to thing this is the one of the best practice amps, or cheap amps, out there, and I'm going to find out. I've previously tried a couple of other NUX products, and they have been quite good, so this might be interesting.
I hope you enjoy today's video!

    The handwired have the g12h30 55hz. Which is actually the high power version of a Greenback and made in UK. This is the speaker that Hendrix used btw. It's virtually the same speaker with the G12m25 Greenback but with the h=heavy magnet, where m=medium magnet. Only Hendrix and a few others perfered the g12h30 over the standard g12m25 Greenback. This is why people call only the g12m25 Greenback, whereas their both Greenback with different magnets.

    As time goes by, we see more and more good products coming from Chinese brands, and that’s exciting. It creates competition for American products, which tend to stagnate and lack innovation. The Chinese brands seem to understand everything, engaging in a constant race to offer the best product. I just ordered mine, and I think it will be great on its own, but I can't wait to test it connected to my JBL PartyBox Ultimate.

    For me, the Fender Mustang GTX series is the best modeling amp that exists, and this is for several reasons: First and foremost, you can control everything from your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth. On top of that, the application is beautifully designed, intuitive, and very easy to understand, unlike the complications you might find with Line 6, for example. The price is very reasonable, even if you opt for a more powerful version. The amp is lightweight. Thanks to the headphone jack, I can connect it to my large JBL PartyBox Ultimate, which results in an amazing sound experience. Even updating the combo is done via Bluetooth through your smartphone or tablet once the amp is connected to a Wi-Fi network. Fender has truly understood what users need. They have excellent presets already installed, it's simple to understand and controllable via mobile, even the updates are easy. It's very lightweight, and thanks to the headphone jack, you can connect it to a high-quality sound system. This results in what I believe is one of the best sounds, since 90% of the sound quality comes from the speaker more than the amp itself.

    Another very good alternative I think as practice amp are one of the joyo bantamp head you already present plus a small cab such as the orange ones for micro Terror. For arround 250 euros you have a good practice stuff , better than a lot of combo in that range price.

    Hi Elmo, I really like your Gear reviews. But for practice AMP one important criteria nowadays is bluetooth support to easely play using backing tracks. My dream would be a boss katana mini with bluetooth support but it don t have it. That's why my best practice AMP is the Black Star fly3 bt version. And with thé inexpesive speaker extension sound is clearly enhanced. Anyway I still hope to see a boss katana mini with BT, one day, perhaps...

    I have a 1995 Jackson USA Kelly Pro getting a custom respray atm, and work done. So i was gong to get another USA King V Pro. Went and played a few at guitar store, my local for 30 years. And honestly for $6500 and a 3 year wait I played tis guitar (mind you neither the expensive or this $500) Jackson were setup by a technician. I just couldn't see the value in paying $6500 for Guitar, when played this I bought one to leave at my girlfriends place, sick of carrying guitars at my age. Took it to my guitar tech, and WOW, it shreds does not go out of tune and is killer, so i bought a SECOND one for me at home hahahahaa.....this thing is a freak guitar for the money, Looking for a reason to buy a third one as the pickups, fret board size, sound, playability even with bolt on neck ( noting like the bolt ones from 1995) is epic. Thats my experience!! i could buy 10x of these or 1x USA Pro King V........And the new King V cases are V Shaped and have Jackson All over them. See i don't want to advertise what's inside, and 3 year wait!! The guitar sales mate kept syaing, but the USA made has all these extra bits that make it worth the money. I said okay like what? couldn't get an answer lol.....
