We’re living in the future I tell you. Guitar players! Have you seen the Fender Mustang Micro? Thinking back to my first effects processer, the Digitech RP10, it was almost as long as my guitar case. It was just as heavy as my guitar. and It for sure didn’t sound as good as the Mustang Micro.

What do you get? A device that fits in the palm of your hand, sporting a quarter inch plug that fits into your electric guitar. On the front of the device is a large volume knob. On the sides of the device are buttons. Amp select plus minus, EQ plus minus, effects plus minus. Effects parameter plus minus. On the other side is the on/off switch, which also slides to put the device in Bluetooth paring mode. Yes, that’s right, you can BT into the device, and play along with backing tracks, and that’s not all. On the end of the device, you have an eighth inch headphone jack, and, USB C for charging and record out. Yep, you can plug it into your IPhone 15, and record straight into any app or Stream over the Social Media universe. A hidden secret, is that if you are streaming into from one IPhone, and recording into another, the recording will also include the Bluetooth audio.

Audio quality? Pretty dang good. You can’t tweek the presets to much but they all sound good, no filler. Recordings come out very cleanas well, just what you hear through headphones.

Use cases. I can think of a lot. If you’ve got an Ion Block rocker and want to do a small show, you can run this guy into the line in eighth inch, and have guitar and backing track. Then plug your mic into the other jack. Playing through headphones is an obvious. Recording quick ideas on the fly couldn’t be easier. We can think of more things too I’m sure.
