NAD - NuX Mighty Plug Pro (MP-3)

Interesting. I did not know that midi expression pedal were that expensive. It adds up to the cost of the m-vave footswitch.

There are many (cheaper) pedals that also work well with m-VAVE . The m-audio works well and first search was $45 aud. Probably cheaper around.

Hereā€™s one connected to Nux mighty amp.

The pedal is not special in any way, itā€™s just an ordinary passive pedal. I only mentioned this one as itā€™s the one that was made to be paired with the midi controller that our footswitches are based on.

Other than that itā€™s a nicely made cast aluminum pedal that is smaller than most other expression pedals like the Lead Foot I already own, which is already small for an expression pedal. But yes, you could use almost any pedal you like.

This is just such a great size for a gig bag!

I Like the look of that pedal. It certainly looks like a quality unit, the cheaper pedals are all plastic (ABS). In the end you want quality, you generally have to pay more.:slightly_smiling_face:

My M-Vave is due to arrive tomorrow so hopefully the MightierAmp app iOS version allows me to set it up for MP3. The app has a few issues accessing own backing tracks and an update doesnā€™t look like being available any time soon. I donā€™t think the MIDI interface has been tested in iOS.

The app on iOS will continue to mature, it is still early days. Itā€™s Open Source so it needs a bit of time to draw in some Apple world devs to get things working smoothly.

Have now acquired my cu-vave (m-vave) pedal and set up was pretty easy.
This is where the mightier amp is so much better than the Nux app. In a matter of mins I was able to change the preset selection, start / stop drums, switch drum styles, adjust tempo and all this with just a couple foot taps. There are many more controls that could be used but for the moment these will do me.:grin:

There is a beta iOS version that also allows loading of locally stored backing tracks, but itā€™s a little buggy and crashes if you use the edit tracks feature. Hopefully a fix will be available soon.

@DaveTC59 How long is the USB cable that comes with the M VAVE Chocolate midi controller ?

@math07 the lead is 1m.

@DaveTC59 Thanks :slight_smile: Itā€™s shorter than I thought. :open_mouth:

Will the Mighty Plug pro work with Amplitube app?

The Mighty Plug is a compliant interface and works with GarageBand on iPhone/iPad so Amplitude should also work.

Yes, if you need it to.

But for many, the built-in effects will be good enough, and will also have no latency issues

Cheers,

Keith

For iOS the latest App Store version of the Mightier Amp app is now close to perfect. The latest version has also revealed 5 new amps on the MP3 that previously were only available on MG series devices.

Hello my friends, Unfortunately on iOS the new version of the Mighty Air App does not detect the Foot Controller (Chocolate) in Fonud Devices only show and detect Nux Mighty Air Midi. I followed all the steps of the video of Tutorial Jam, but I did not make it. App Version 3.4.2 and Firmware Version 2.3 in MightAmp App. Any suggestions or solutions?

Hi Osver, Iā€™m a little confused.
Did you mean ā€œfound devicesā€?
You said ā€œNux Mighty Air Midi. I followed all the steps of the video of Tutorial Jam, but I did not make it. App Version 3.4.2 and Firmware Version 2.3 in MightAmp App. Any suggestions or solutions?ā€

The iOS Mighty Amp app by Nux cannot currently connect to midi controllers.
You need to download the Mightier Amp by Dayan Lliev from the App Store (note different spelling). The latest version is 1.06. It will allow you to connect to your midi controller and has more functionality then the Nux app.
Cheers
Dave

Using iPhone /iPad to record video and Nux MP3 audio.

Using my mp3 and recording video with iPhone/ iPad initially resulted in no guitar audio being recorded as the camera defaulted to the devices internal microphone, recording room noise only.

Fortunately there is a (reasonably) easy way to get the guitar sound from the MP3 output to record with your video via a usb connection. (And no room noise).

Iā€™m using an iPad Air M1 and ios17. The iPad has a built in usb-c connector. Other devices/OSes may give different results.

  1. Get your Guitar and MP3 setup and working. You may need to open the Mightier Amp app and go to settings, usb audio settings, and increase the usb recording level to get a stronger output signal. (This can be useful too when recording into GarageBand, as the default MP3 output is relatively low).

  2. Disconnect any input lead plugged into your iOS Device

  3. Plug the usb lead into the MP3ā€™s usb connection.

4 . Now open your iPhone/iPad camera app. Set it to Video and choose front camera.

  1. Plug the other end of the MP3 USB lead into your device.

  2. Press record and start playing.

Things to be aware of:

Any interruption to the apps focus will revert the cameras audio connection back to internal microphone. That means if you view your recorded video, or switch to another app, say to check messages or mail, and then switch back to the Camera app it will no longer record the usb audio input.

You will need to close the camera app. Unplug the usb lead, restart the Camera app, set to video, choose front camera and then plug the usb back in. Press record and play.

If your ios device doesnā€™t have a USB-C input you can use the Apple camera adapter as an interface.

Connect MP3 to camera adapter USB-A input, and connect your charger to the camera adapter lightning input. Alighting port cannot supply enough power by itself Hence need for charger.

Set up device camera app as described above BEFORE plugging the camera adapter into your device. Press record and play.

@CATMAN62 Tod, the Mighty Plug Pro is the more expensive model I was referring to in the Noodling Around in G thread.

I picked one of these bad boys up for myself, along with a midi chocolate footpedal (from a seller on AliExpress, which was a better buying experience than a lot of US stores tbh).

I am impressed, have only played with it a little as there are lots of options to investigate, hopefully will keep me happy for a while.

Be sure to try out the Mightier Amp app version. Much better than the Nux app.
