Just bought one a couple of months ago. Did one gig so far in Aged care place. No experience with amps or setting up guitar pickups. A bit to learn for me. So thanks for the brief tute. I'm not likely to play in a pub, but who knows. Other places like open mikes you plug into their gear. I agree with your natural sound comment. I spent a few thousand dollars on decent guitars (Australian made)Maiton and Cole Clarke to get that real sound, so this amp seems to compliment the guitars well. I was very impressed with the demo at the music store, which is owned and operated by a guy I knew from open mikes. Cheers.

The IR sounds better than the Anthem mic, the rhythms sound out of an old school Yamaha keyboard though! They should definitely work with the Beatbuddy guys for their beats.

12:22 very cool I hope it’s in the firmware update 🤘🏽. Very interesting unit.

Finally listened on some good speakers. The IRs, in my experience are basically very detailed mid scoops with select "spikes" of mids retained. So the one you used seems to have more bass. I'm not sure if this is because you have the IR level turned up a little to make up for the loss of volume because of the IRs mid scoop. But I reckon THAT would be where feedback might creep in. You notice when you bring in the Anthem mic the scoop gets to an over the top level so it's basically all bass and treble. I imagine this is because the anthem's mic has an inbuilt eq profile of it's own with a bass roll off and mid scoop. So essentially you're getting a double adjustment.

That's my guess! I reckon if you turned up the mids on the eq you might get a more reasonable sound. But why bother when you have those other options.

Just one more question.
If I, for instance, would change the Chirus (on yr vid) to be an echo / delay, can I liad that into the amp or do I need to keep a device connected via Bluetooth?
Thanks in Advance
Greg

Just missing the possibility to see how full or empty the battery is. Even a simple smartphone will show that.

Hi Aaron. Thanks for the great review. I play about 160 gigs each year..acoustic guitar, vocals and looped beats. I've had the Bose S1 since it was released in Australia. I love the sound of vocals through it but have always hated the guitar through it. My question...do you think the Stage man plugged in and on a stand is as loud as the Bose S1.?
I've also been using the Nux optical air live for a couple of months. I'm very happy with it. I run a fishman rare earth blend into the Nux and then into a Headway pre if any problem frequencies in a room. Cheers Mark.

Hi, I have this amp on 30 day trial. Does anyone find that when the loop plays back it is a poor quality sound compared to when you just play normally through the amp speaker. It’s like night and day. Am I doing something wrong. Is it possible to change the effects while playing the loop or is this not normally possible? Also I only seem to be able to record one loop, does it overdub?

[jeremycook]

great channel - great review. I have a question if you could. I am going to be venturing out to bistros and some casual spots to start doing jazz - I might want to have a mic for a varied 2nd set of cover tunes. I was looking at the eae d6 58 that you reviewed. It is very expensive but ultimately would do everything that I am interested in - possible singing and multiple instruments. My question is it will be awhile before I can save up for the EAE and I am wondering what the focal quality is on both amps. Like on the NUX did you test the vocals along with the guitar? I have just purchased the optima air pedal by NUX and I love it. So with all that what was your experience between the two amps? I know that they really are vastly different but they are also vastly different in cost. - thank you

Hi Aaron, I'm undecided between buying this one or the fishman loudbox mini charge. The goal is to play in street parades with a Bouzouki (Fingericking and strumming) and I want the best sound with the highest (portable) volume possible. What would you suggest me?

[juansaez]

Thanks Aaron... I have gig with those kind of amps in small terraces and inside restaurants at a low volume.. I just think that in those kinds of revews of testing amps, most of the time, they only speak about the guitar sound. Thanks for your viedeos anyway.

Good review. I have yet to work out the pedal.

[tomminou]

Hello, I'm not able to install new firmeware: I put the amp ON pressing the bluetooth button to disactivate bluetooth, I connect
the amp to my pc with a cable USB, but the amp is not recognized by my computer, it says "pilot error". And after charging Nuxe program to update, it doesn't recognize any device neither when I refresh... if someone can help me please...

[BigJ]

Plug in a Sure Beta 58a and sing! Sing! Sing! BLOODY SING 🎤,
The amp has 2 channels 🤷🏼‍♂️ how hard is it to find someone to review both!

[anthonymcclumpha]

If I were to purchase another NMP 2 foot switch can they be both plugged in at the same time to control looper/drum and effects? Sorry if it’s a silly question but new to all of this.

[roelhugen]

Hi Aron, great review and nice amp, which I can not get working is starting the drums with the included footswitch. I only get it working with the app.
Is it possible to start the drums with the footpedal?

I can't find it in the manual either. How to donit or not possible?

[ronnieo]

sure would love to hear vocals through these amps

[anthonymcclumpha]

Can i connect this amp to my audio interface to record on my DAW on my computer, and if so how?

[anthonymcclumpha]

Hi Aaron, great review. I have this amp and noticed in your review that when you played the loops back you were adjusting the controls on the amp to see how it sounded. How did you do that? When I replay the loop back on mine adjusting the controls does nothing. Cheers

[GregSipsma]

Hi
Nice review.
Can you go directly into a DAW via usb?
