@@DavidRFIT Good morning David. I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I will say this: Pete strikes me as a man of honor & integrity. I don't think he would endorse something he did not like.
@@sd_design I too think he is a good and honest guy. Still, you always have to take with a grain of salt ANY paid review/demonstration. Regardless if you like the product, it is very easy to speak about positive things of the product, when they pay you. Much harder to talk about negative aspects...
Are you happy with it? Can you use it in very low volume for night practice? (TV volume). Why have you chose this instead of the nux mighty air? Thank you.
@@guardianobserver6593 The main reason I chose this over the mighty air is because of budget. Hahaha I've heard that the air produces a greater tone than the lite bt. However, it packs a LOT of gain from that distortion. To answer your question, yep you can turn it down to practice at night. And you also have the option to plug in your choice of headphones (IEM, in my case), for you not to disturb anyone.
🙂 My opinion: I think the NUX effects sound good. This would be ideal for people who *travel* a lot. _(I have always been a _*_homebody_*_ but I do ride my bicycle as often as I can)_

i love this one! I have been playing this one for few months. So easy to use, great tones and it has all the basics covered. The distortion is so awesome and the reverbs and delay effects are also very cool. Also have plenty of kickass drumbeats. I have so much fun with this one connected with my looper pedal.
I just got one of these from a Stupid Deal of the Day deal on Musicians Friend I think it was 60 bucks on sale and I had points and got another 20 off that price. I did do a RUclips search and watched several vids before I got one. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at how good this sounds. Good little travel amp glad I grabbed one.
You sound great trough Marshalls,you sound great trough Vox amps,you sound great trough Fenders.......With this ....the song remains the same-you sound great trough Nux.
Pete has credibility so when he reviews gear I'm interested. Hope he tests out the newer version of this mini amp the MkII. It's the one I just bought.
That’s my favorite guitar of yours. I built my artic white HSS Strat based off this guitar. Have the TB+ in the bridge and V60LP singles. I use the Boss Katana Mini for my bedroom. The high gain with your Thornbucker Plus is insane.
Saw Pete on YT back in his eruption teaching vids and he just gets better and better. Great musician. I'm thinking about this amp for home playing as i currently don't have one. Think it's £154 here in the UK from Amazon. Pretty expensive for a practice amp though it does sound really good. You can get the Blackstar Fly for way cheaper tho so... Edit that! Just been and checked it's the Nux Air that's £154, this is way cheaper i think.

Man, I absolutely respect everything you've achieved... When you're making music with a tiny, little practice amp on a diet, something you're doing is right! Canadian kid who practiced to be what he wanted to be and became *"that guy!"* That guy who can make a cigar box guitar sound like a custom shop/boutique special through a portable amp. Makes me pay attention to your, *"So you wanna"* videos so much more... & you're still on the same planet as the rest of us. 🤣 Just seeing this type of thing is impressive... not to belittle my own abilities, but I can probably make it sounds like two squirrels fighting over a peanut in a coffee can!
It's a nifty little practice amp, but for me the smallest, best-sounding practice option is still an iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad running Jamup or Bias FX. I used that system for over 3 years on just about all my gigs. Listen through headphones or send it an amp, a mixer or FRFR. What I'd like to see NuX or a similar company come up with is something like an iPod with an audio interface built in, but without the heavy operating system. I know a few little devices exist but they all sound terrible. Yet it is possible to make something really small sound great. Partner up with Positive Grid and get Bias FX on it. Make it the size of a deck of cards, give it a 6 hour battery life and keep the price low.

Thanks for the demo Pete. I love the chords you're playing at the 5:50'sh mark. Would you mind sharing what chords you used there? It look like the following fretted notes 7x5779 but I can't seem to get it to sound the same. Thanks.
My jam tracks are playing on the phone instead of the amp did you encounter this problem? Great review actually highly influenced me to buy it! Thanks!

@@guardianobserver6593 the air wasn't out yet when I bought this 😁 and yeah it's really good for low volume Even when connected to a headphone it sounds pretty consistent with the real tone And the jam along function with bluetooth is great it helps me practice songs with a lot more ease than my big amp
@@guardianobserver6593 with proper headphones and low volume it shouldn't be bad for the hearing But at low volume the nux sounds real good Secretly I've been looking at the air 😁 because the lite is so good
Would be nice to hear what this little amp can do hooked up to the computer thru the cab simulated headphones jack. It doesn't say on the website if effects, backing tracks and drum tracks are mono or stereo when using the headphone output.
Thanks for the review. I bought this amp recently as a new starter for electric guitar. I have a squier Bullet telecaster with 2 single coils. Maybe it is a stupid question but would like to hear your comment. When the amp is in idle mode it makes a buzz noise. And when you change to overdrive and distortion it gets higher. When I touch my guitars string , knobs, fretboard etc . The buzz almost disappears. Is this normal or is this a defect of my amp? Thanks in advance for clarification.
Im trying to decide between NUX MIGHTY LIGHT BT or ROLAND MICRO CUBE GX or VOX MINI 3 G2 ???? All are under $200 aus, just trying to decide which one before i buy... Help please lol
Well Pete ... This video isn't really helping me save up for a PT 15.....I'm Jim... And I'm addicted to guitars, amps, pedals.. Ok..more specifically the gear Pete Thorn demos...
the bluetooth is not connected when the blue light was blinking, and the blue light was on when you are connected. no on and off switch of bluetooth in the amp i think.
Every product comes with an app these days. I bought a loaf of bread the other day that comes with Bluetooth. It sends a message to your device to let you know your bread is no longer fresh! Crazy huh? I'm looking at a pair of BT socks that message you when your feet are too stinky to take your shoes off in polite company! Or on a first date... Cool little amp, BTW!
Pretty cool little tool. I'm not complaining but I would have like to have heard a Gibson-style guitar through it. Sometimes the short scale & humbuckers can make these little and fart out
Unfortunately the app is crap! It just works on some android versions (e.g. got it running on 6 and 8) but not in others (e.g. on 10 it always asks to enable GPS, while this is already on). On some resolution, the first two tabs are so far shifted to the right, that they are unusable. I'll send it back for the blackstar fly 3.
Are you happy with it? Can you use it in very low volume for night practice? (TV volume). Why have you chose this instead of the nux mighty air? Thank you.
All sound sounds very similar, harsh. U cant get a nice tone from a small plastic box. U r playing a strat kind guitar. None of the sounds u played sounded like a strat should.
@@ymelfilm not know. But maybe too big for me. I have some travel amp Line6 micro spider. I am looking forvsome 40w and some 2-6. Think about Laney St but no usb power i think
@@martinezq1 I wanted to buy Fender Passport Mini but 1) it is not in production any more 2) ppl say it is very weak and sounds boxy. The new blackstar can be a good one, but my Katana 50 is ok for me. for a tiny stuff I m still searching for sg.
_Rule of Thumb: If it's good enough for _*_Pete Thorn_*_ then it's good enough for me!_ 🐻
In all fairness, I could build a janky OD pedal out of a busted AM radio and Pete could probably still make it sound good LOL!
@@nicholastotoro7721 I agree. Pete is a skillful musician. He's way more motivated than I am.

Awesome little amp! People tell me the Katana Mini and Blackstar Fly 3 are better, but I disagree. the NUX is my fav.
Just ordered one from Walmart. $83. Can't go wrong! Thanks for the tip, Pete!
Dave Sherrill How’s the amp so far?
Pete Thorn can make a grapefruit sing, no fair
Hahaha
The creativity in the licks and riffs tho! Just ordered mine, and I'd say this got me so pretty excited!

Well its good if you dont feel like heating up the tube amp. I keep mine in the living room and annoy the wife
I thought that company was Nux. I didn’t realize it was “New X”. Oh well, you learn something every day.
Me too
Injust got thos amp and im doing some research on it but i gotta say... You frickin SLAYED it with those all those licks
Just bought one last night, it's a keeper! Drums effects and amp sound great!

I love my NUX Mod Core pedal, super loaded modulation fx in on stereo in/out pedal. Not surprised they made a bad ass little practice micro amp.
Best demo of this I've seen, almost pulling the trigger....almost. Still watching.

I got a pignose and a Roland cube on batteries in my van. Lovely.

Great... and I just bought a Cube Street a couple of weeks ago. Doh.
Roland is insanely expensive and not better than lets say Fishman

About 3:30 a little Larry Carlton vibe!

Great video! Is this amp decent for use with external effect devices? Any setting recommendation?
Does this make sense as a first amp? Just practicing, not planed to hit the stage anytime soon. ;-)
Modeling amps are good first amps in my opinion. Lots of variety without a lot of cost, pedals, etc.
That looks fun
Does pedals also work on it?
Can i use my pedal effects with that amp?
