This little bug amp is great. I started slacking off on my practice (none). Picked up this little amp and it brought back some of the enthusiasm that I had. Starting to practice everyday. If only I could by more limber fingers I’d be in great shape

I actually purchased one of these, maybe a month ago, but haven’t used it yet, other than charging it and updating the firmware. I should really give it a try. On top of portability, it sounds fun to try the various built in models/effects.

I’ve been thinking of purchasing one myself. Lately, i’ve been able to play just for 10 or 15 minutes. And if I have to boot my computer, prepare the cables and load the amp sim, i easily lose 5 minutes which is 1/3 of the time I had 
.
Have you tried the “metal” amps? If i’m not wrong, you can use it as a guitar interface as well. Right?

Which is why I tend to recommend a real amp (or some sort of hardware multifx separate from the PC) rather than amp sims on a computer.
It’s just so much more immediate in a lot of cases.
Cheers,

I had the vox plug in amp. I think it only had 3 settings. Also not very sturdy. but the price is right and no bluetooth for playing along

I ended up testing it out on my guitar and my bass yesterday, and it worked great! It has multiple amp simulations each for clean, fuzz, and overdrive, as well as various reverbs and other effects. Each effect can also be modified through a few presets.
It also has a totally clean, “studio” mode without any amp sim or effects, if you so desire. And, yes, it can be used as an interface as well via the USB connector, though I have not tried it yet in that capacity. I already have an interface, but I may try it out just to see how it does.
Here are the amp models and effects:

I see it now. I went on amp sim because it was way cheaper and didn’t know back then if i was going to stick to the guitar or it was going to be a 2 months hobby .
And these little headphone amps seems very convenient for me since I travel regularly to my home town
I saw those too and seem great. However, in my opinion, compared with the Fender, they look a bit short of effects. I would have to buy 2 box amps for blues, and metal sound.
If i’m correct Vox was the pioneer and Fender mini mustang is the latest released
Thanks for sharing your experience 
. I’m very tempted to buy one for myself

I started out with a VOX AC30 plug in and liked it. Then graduated to a VOX Mini 3 which is much more versatile and sounds great through my headphones, which is the only way I play since I live in a NYC apt with thin walls. About a year ago I bought the Fender Mustang Micro to replace the AC30 which was a good move. Now I mostly use the Fender as it’s pretty versatile and VERY convenient (almost too convenient) as I have to set up the Mini 3 whenever I want to use it.

I keep my Fender micro amp plugged into my Strat at all times with tiny earphones attached and hanging over the back of the body of the guitar. When I need an electric guitar I just grab the Strat hanging on the side of a bookcase, turn on the micro amp, put in at least one earphone and start playing using the first default setting. The main thing I have to remember is to turn off the micro amp when I finish or I ‘ll have a dead amp the next time I reach for the guitar. Otherwise it is very convenient. The only comparable thing is perhaps the small amps with wireless BlueTooth plugin, but I haven’t tried that route.

Good point, but no. I don’t use to leave it on. I have to be careful with the bills 
I have one of these and it has been really great when playing with backing tracks or jamming along with garage band on my tablet. I can’t recommend it enough for a guitar student. It also doubles as a DAW interface for recording yourself.
It opened my eyes to how much fun different amp sounds can be. The effects are meh. Interesting but not terribly useful beyond reverb but the variety of amp types is great. You can really play with the gain too, makes that guitar volume knob very useful.
