OK, here’s what I experienced with the NUX Mighty Plug:
I only have one bass with me on the road so I wish I could have tested with different basses. For the pure functionality of a headphone amp, it works great. I had to turn down the volume on my bass to about 25% because anything higher than that would cause clipping. The Bluetooth connection for playback is liberating since you can walk around the room while playing and not be tethered to your playback device.
You will need to download the app to be able to use all the features fo the device. The app has three channels, POP, ROCK and FUNK. Each channel has what I assume to be “pedals” (you pedal experts help me out here). They are GATE, EFX, AMP, IR, MOD and REVERB. Through your Bluetooth connection you can adjust the settings of each of the pedals. The app is designed for both Guitar and Bass and I tried the Guitar setting and it filtered everything but the G string.
There is a drum loop setting that has eleven loops, including Metronome. The other ten are the more popular choices (Pop, Metal, Rock, etc.) all with tempo and volume adjustments.
There is a jam track section with generic backing tracks and artists track, the artists of which I have no idea who they are. Maybe you youngsters know them.
It has a USB connection that you can use for charging and as a DAI. I tried to use the DAI but I’ll stay with my Scarlett 2i2. To me it’s just ‘meh’ and I’ll use it on the road to experiment but for my covers, nope.
Once charged, the battery lasts a fairly long time and the app and the device let you know when the battery is getting low.
If anyone can add any more to this, please do. I don’t think I’m a great “reviewer”, so if you have any questions, please ask.
