The Mighty Plug from budget-friendly brand NUX manages to squeeze effects, amp models, and cab IRs into a tiny plug that can fit it in your pocket when you aren’t using it! Just plug it into your guitar’s output, plug a set of headphones in to the unit, and off you go!

The NUX Mighty Plug is filled to the brim with effects, amp models, and cab IRs. It can also be directly remote-controlled via Bluetooth. The device has 13 amplifier models, 20 IR files, including speaker cabs and acoustic guitar, and 19 effects, including a phaser, chorus, flanger,  tremolo, boost, crunch, touch wah, Uni Vibe, tremolo, and a three-band EQ. There’s also a smattering of delays with analog, tape, digital, ping pong, shimmer, and reverbs including room, hall, plate, and spring.

The Mighty Plug has a rechargeable Li battery which should give you around three hours of playing time. Just use the supplied micro USB cable to charge the unit up between your practise sessions.

Remote Bluetooth Control

As I mentioned earlier, you can also control the Mighty Plug remotely using Bluetooth. It connects to your smartphone or tablet from where you can edit and control parameters of all those onboard amps and effects. You also get access to extra preamp models, guitar cabinet IRs, and effects via the free MightyAmp app. NUX also states that it works equally well with active or passive electric guitars and basses, plus acoustic-electric guitars with piezo or magnetic pickups.

    It’s a good unit, unfortunately its Great little unit but unfortunately the Bluetooth Audio specs leave a lot to be desired. There is a significant delay if I stream audio from a video on my iPad Pro – e.g. a tutorial. On other Bluetooth devices that is negligible (Waza Air)

      Interesting, I wonder if this is something they can fix, as could be software/firmware bug for example?
