Nux Mighty Space

Necesitaba un ampli pequeño para ensayar en casa y tras ver una multitud de reviews (como hacemos todos por otra parte...) me decidí por este por el sonido y las características. El equipo es pequeño, no ocupa mucho, por lo que se puede guardar en casi cualquier sitio; pero lo que realmente lo hace grande (a mis ojos, claro esta) es que tiene baterias (4 horas reales de sonido continuo, el fabricante te da 5, pero entre pitos y flautas se quedan en 4 horas) o sea, un cable menos. Solo por eso ya gana mucho para mi. Que también venga en el pack el sistema inalámbrico es un pedazo de plus de la hostia, pero es que también viene con un pedal (este si con cable... no todo va a ser fxxxxr que diria Krahe) para controlar los cambios de presets o bien el looper, porque, sí, también trae looper. Y no se cuantos ritmos de bateria de distintos estilos; pistas de acompañamiento de artistas random asiaticos e incluso cargar tus propias pistas de acompañamiento... las que tu quieras, y las que tu dispositivo tablet o movil pueda albergar, ya que todas las funciones que no sean lo que nos ofrecen los potenciómetros del panel del ampli lo vamos a gestionar con una, mas que suficiente, app desde donde editaremos el sonido, cargaremos IR's, controlaremos las pistas de acompañamiento, el looper, la cadena de efectos... en fin, de todo. La conectividad con el dispositivo es inmediata y no me ha dado ningun fallo, amen de que, si quieres, te puede servir de altavoz bluetooth. He de decir que estoy encantado con el cacharro y para practicar es una maravilla: enciendes el looper, grabas un tournaround, le pones un drumctrack y ala, a solear. En menos de 2 minutos estas tocando con una batería al tiempo y una guitarra ritmica (ojo, también vale para bajo). LA fabricacion no esta nada mal pese a ser de una carcasa de plastico y el sonido es mas que decente, si bien llegar a dar con un sonido que te agrade... pues es ya es cosa de gustos, pero las opciones que te da son bastante buenas. Muy contento con la compra. Lo recomiendo al 100%.

On the Internet, it is hard to find an in-depth analysis of this device. I bought it under the assumption that I would test it on my own and return it as a last resort. So starting from the beginning:

1. speakers- the quality of the speakers is very good. they play a wide spectrum, when connected to a computer via usb and using the built-in equalizer you can get very good sound quality. you can also use it successfully as a boombox on bluetooth- here a lot depends on the codec the phone supports. The amp itself does not support atpx hd. Many reviews on the web assess that the sound is muddy but it is a matter of connecting with the wrong codec or poor equalization.

2. the quality of simulation of amplifiers and drives- from the amplifier you can get great sounds. Some very great. The problem is that most simulations completely do not reflect the "real" effects on which they were modeled. When we read "brit 800" or "screamer" we know more or less what to expect, but this amp does not offer us that. The sounds do not correspond to the names. There are also some simulations from which I didn't manage to get a good sound at all. In addition, the parameters of overdrives and amps do not work as we are used to - master volume does not "drive the tubes", but only controls the volume. The "presence" potentiometer often has to be turned up to 80% for the sound not to be muddled. HOWEVER, if you take the time to learn how the knobs work + with the help of an equalizer, you can get some really really great results.

3. amp cabinets simulations - built-in simulations are weak. however, we can upload our own. the first better IR response from the Internet on the v30 and sm37 / r121 microphones and the sound becomes 300% better.

4. application from the manufacturer is ok, 100 times better than THR, it is stable and does not break. However, the real claw of the amp shows when using the fan app mightier amp. There is the possibility to save an infinite number of presets, plug in a bluetooth midi footswitch to control whatever you want (switching presets or turning effects on and off).

5. additional functionalities such as drum-machine, looper work great, the amp is richly equipped (wireless system, footswitch).

The amplifier was cross-checked with a Yamaha THR30II and I think it wins over it in every possible way (except for the intuitiveness of sounding cranking on specific simulations)

my final rating is 8/10. if the simulation knobs behaved in an intuitive way and the names given by the manufacturer to the effects reflected the originals I would give 10/10

Thomann is well known for its fantastic service. The team reached to tell me that the whole order was going to be dispatched when the amp was on stock so no problem from this side.

The amp is loud. And i assume it can be even louder if you plug in to a cabinet.

The amp is rich on features and there is even a 3rd party app (mightier amp) that has even more features, for example setting an external midi device (Bluetooth or usb midi support)

While not all the modeling amps are useful or with good sounding, i am impressed with the sound of the dual rectifier modelling. The time bases effects are stereo so you can have this ping pong effect if you want.

Probably the only down side (i am not 100% sure of this) is the fact that running an external cabinet will be only mono, unless you use the headphone out directly to FOH. And also even when is stereo, is not possible to run a dry/wet signal, but for the price i think is fair enough.
