Another great video and a great tip for the Mustang Micro. I don't always want to play with headphones and I often have mine hooked up to my mini practice amp these days via the aux in on the amp. It's a really cool little amp. I love mine.
Awesome, and I agree. It’s great for headphones or earbuds, and hooking it to an amp or PA. Glad you like yours!
Thanks Steve , that had already gone through my thought processes but didn’t know if it would work .
🤙
Excellent!
Haven has a special place for people like you
Can it be usb'd into a adapter and plugged straight into my phone for playing a livestream
Is there a way to get effects and loops in sync? I know the Mustang doesn’t have fine control of delay time etc. but does a looper have a metronome that can help get loops to be a precise length, so you can adjust the metronome to be in sync with delay time? Most of my music relies on being able to get everything in sync.
No, they are completely independent. Though this whole set up works great, there is no syncing at all. You can’t match tempos. Still fun, but a fairly basic connection set up overall.
Nice Telecaster Steve...
Impressive,😀😀
Could I - theroetically - put the guitar into the looper IN and the Mustang into the looper OUT and use the Headphone Jack on the Mustang as intended? I know the Amp Settings would go to waste that way, I'm just curious if it would work
I'm 99% sure the answer is yes! That would basically be like what I've done with a traditional amp. It works, but you can't change the tone/effects much, because that would affect all loop layers feeding in. But it should work. 👍
Merci ☆
Have you tried plugging the guitar in to the pedal using guitar cable and then plugging the micro directly in to the pedal?
I tried that with a ditto and I get a mad buzz I can't really explain :(
Hi Steve, great video. I don't have an amplifier so I'm assuming I would need an aux input for the 3.5mm cable AND a headphone ouput jack on the looper pedal/station? Thanks in advance.
Thanks! I happened to be on my phone. Yes, you would need to run the aux cable out of the micro, into the looper, and then if your looper doesn’t have a headphone output, you may be able to (but I’m not sure) use a little Y adapter to grab the 1/4” output (mono or stereo) … converting those to 1/8” female. Then plug your headphones into that. I’m not sure, but it seems to me that the Y adapter would convert 1/4” to 1/8” if you don’t have a headphone output on the looper. Hope that helps!
@@SteveGuitar Thank you!
Mustang Mini -> Ditto looper
->Headphones
Are you limited to using the same patch for both rhythm and lead?
Thanks
I'm looking at the same setup but with the Boss RC1...the question is can the looper power the headphones or do the headphones need an amp?
Have you actually tried the 3.5 stereo to 1/4" mono to the looper?.. I saw on one of the adapter feedback replies that doing that may burn out the stereo device (in this case it is the headphone amp inside the fender micro). The real issue is that if you want effects on mutliple dub-overs you have to have the effects ahead of the looper ...or... something like a pedal board for whatever effects you want to lay down before the looper. This pretty much requires one to go into the amp at line level rather than through the input jack (or go super clean on the instrument channel and use no effects whatsoever). I did it a bit differently as I have a BlackStar CoreID 20 and came out of the headphone to a 3.5 "Y" for my headphones and then the other to the line in on amp. The only issue there is the 3.5 (only stereo ones can be purchased) to a 1/4" mono. Those could be plugged into the adapters and then into the looper on both in and out. It loses the stereo of the Mustang and the reason I have not ordered the adapters is did not know if it would damage the stereo of the Micro output.
I have done the successfully, yes. I ran a 1/8 inch output from the headphone output of the mustang to a single mono quarter inch adapter, and plugged the quarter inch into a Digitech pedal in the mono input. Worked great, no issues. 👍
I meant to add … The whole signal chain was: guitar to mustang amp, mustang to looper pedal (stereo to mono), looper pedal output to powered monitors. So the sound came out of the monitors and the amplifier was quiet. Hope that helps
@@SteveGuitar Lol... I got my 3.5 TRR to mono 1/4" adapters in and had a go at it. Chain was guitar , Mustang Micro, adapter, looper, adapter, 3.5 TRR to 3.5TRR to BlackStar line in (which is stereo) Worked like a charm (I do know it's all mono though). Here's yet another interesting trick.
Say you want just a tad of reverb out of the looper. No problem. I had a 3.4 TRR stereo to 1/4" TRR adapter just laying there, knowing the input to BlackStar was mono, so just plugged the 3.5TRR stereo feed into stereo to 1/4" adapter and popped it into input and wallah, it worked perfectly. Set Amp on a clean input and added just a touch of (yep stereo cuz BlackStar is stereo speakers) reverb and came up with a really cool track that was really open and anything I did had the same openess. It was worth the easy effort to go in through the instrument in rather than line. Just never add anything but light reverb or delay. Just playing with it I did create some weird stuff using a phasor but distortions simply don't add any musicality.
Got some other ideas as well. I will just play a blues backing track through the Mustang Micro and stop recording at end. I can then just start and stop addons with the looper switch..and at whatever amp/effect I want at the Mustang Micro. Just getting this looper and being 66 with shoulder/neuropathy issues does not make for clean base tracks, but should still get in some cool jams with a backing track base.
@@gittarpikk That’s awesome! Glad it worked out, and that sounds like a nice set up. I like it 😎👍
Can I use pedal effects on this amp? I have some effects I would love to try while using the mustang micro
You could plug your guitar into a pedal or full pedal board and then put the micro at the end of the chain, so yes. But the micro with its amp models and effects would be at the end of that chain, so I’m not sure how it would sound. Might be great, or you could experiment with putting it at the beginning of a chain somehow. Hope that helps a little bit. I’ve never tried that!
@@SteveGuitar thanks! If you are willing to experiment that and doing a video I would love to see it! If I can do it I will def buy the amp
@@tamaritignacio well, I ended up selling it (because I was looking for more stereo effects) so I can’t test that unfortunately. But I still highly recommend it👍
Thanks very much for this but it didn't work for me unfortunately. Guitar-FMM-RC3 aux in- headphones. Just a very faint signal- Any ideas?
And everybody uses a tele to review the FMM and it sounds much better than my LP. Is it my imagination or is it a good excuse to buy myself a tele?🙃
In reply to my own post, it works with a normal guitar amp or powered speakers (like PC speakers) but the signal needs to be boosted for headphones so it doesn't seem to be just a question of plugging your headphones directly into your looper (in my case at least). The quality of the sound is a bit Iffy and I get a buzz and beeps which I don't get when I run the guitar into the looper directly and then to the amp.
Intro is WAYYYY too long saying pretty much nothing. Other than that. Great stuff man
An instrument input is different from an auxiliary. I don’t know if it will work or not, but I think you should try it before telling ppl to do it.
Thanks, but not sure if you saw the 6:33 mark Where I did everything live, and it worked like a charm. I have run the same set up (3.5 mm to 1/4 inch adapter) Into another looper pedal successfully as well. It all works great.
Ok sorry I stopped before that. I thought the splitter was going into line ins. Thanks for that.
@@lankyshanks6962 no prob! It definitely works great. Thanks for watching 👍
