Fender mustang amp series9/9/2023 ![]() ![]() The sounds speak for themselves though, and simply put, they are phenomenal for a headphone amp. All your gain will have to come out of the amp voicing you selected, but when you combine that with the effects and the guitar’s pickups, you can cook up most every basic sound you’d ever want. I wish that a few of the modulated effects were replaced with other gain options, but generally speaking the different flavors of reverb, chorus, delay, and tremolo are more than acceptable. It sounds eerily similar to my actual Mustang V1 15 watt amp, which is a compliment because that amp served me well during many live gigs in my life. They have a diverse selection too, with ’60s and ’70s British inspired tones, grunge-y sounds from the ’90s, and multiple high gain and crystal clean options. But honestly, this is the real deal! The amp sounds aren’t going to make you throw out your Vox or Marshall, but they sound like an actual amp in the room with you. I really thought this was a gimmick, I thought it was going to be another low quality headphone amp that will sell thousands of copies and we’ll forget about in 2 years.

So you can actually play along to songs to learn or practice them. You can connect your phone via bluetooth and play songs or albums right into your headphones alongside your guitar signal. But arguably the major features I want to highlight in this overview are the connect-ability options. The amp sounds range from compressed cleans to mid-scooped metal tones, and literally everything in between. While I’ll go through each setting and effect in the demo, the effects are generally centered in the reverb-modulation-delay genre. ![]() With 12 amp voices, 12 effects voices, and the ability to slightly modify the EQ and effects voicing, you have surprisingly versatile control over your sound. What you’re looking at here is basically the Fender Mustang Amp series (my first amp ever) shrunken down into a little headphone amp. But Fender’s Mustang Micro is actually seriously fun, seriously user friendly, and it sounds great. I really thought it would be another low quality headphone amp, holy grail “practice amp” solution. I really thought this was going to be a gimmick. Overview & Cost: $99.99 from and ! (Some affiliate links) ![]()
