Wow! This amp has everything!! It sounds fantastic even through youtube! The adjustments have no end to them! Superb! 🎸😀👍
I love this line of NUX amps. I have the headphones one and i use it at home with my JBL speaker and i simply love the fact that it does sound like a huge amp played at low volume
Very cool! Thanks Shane 😊
NU-X's Soldano amp model is worth the price of their gear alone. It's so good. Great demo, NU-X is putting out some really great stuff these days. I use an MG-30 for effects and to split my signal out in stereo to two clean amps. Great demo, Shane!
This little amp sounds pretty great. Let me know what you think in the comments. How's the tones in the intro clip! 🛒 Artist Guitars Australia - alnk.to/2jKFhRd 🛒 Thomann - bit.ly/3RHTM9z 🛒 Walmart USA - bit.ly/3LOpT3w (Affiliate links)
Sounds amazing ❤, thanks. I'll look into it.
Hopefully this releases soon in the US. Like the mic input on this one. The bonus of the Mighty 8BT MKII is it gets the Looper on the app
Great review! I’m gonna order one 🙂
Your always doing a great job
I like how it has an open back
Great demo! It's like a Cube or Pignose on steroids! Fantastic video as always. Thanks for sharing.
Reminds me of if a Positive Grid Spark and a Roland CUBE had a baby! Love it!
This is what the Boss Katana Mini should have been! Nice review, now I have something else on the to-buy list, LOL!
I have the NUX Stageman AC 50 acoustic, fantastic amp.
This is a cool review - many thanks!!. How does this compare with NUX Mighty BTLite MKii, in terms of lowdness and tome accuracy? Which of the two is a better sounding amp?
Almost bought it and changed my mind. Very impressed with the internal capabilities, connectivity etc but I know it'll still sound like a small speaker. Like all of these little amps do. For now I just went with a modern headphone amp with the same features and more. Will get a proper larger combo later.
Cool sounds ;)
I gotta get one of the NUx amps. Can't decide which one.
Looks like a great little amp. I have a Vox battery powered amp that I really like. But this looks and perhaps sounds even better than that one. I may be looking to upgrade. :-)
LIKE it, he does I think!
Great video Shane. I've got two questions (possible video idea) 1. How does it compare against the mighty lite bt mkii? in terms of features and sound etc... 2. can you use it as an audio interface with amplitude or some VSTs in a daw? how much latency do you get?
I was using some desktop monitors with ToneX software, but I wonder how the mighty 40BT MK2 will sound as a speaker and audio interface when it comes out 😮
Cracker of an amp actually, be gd for the bedroom, lounge etc & the FX & models means you don't have to lay pedals & cables all over the joint...apps a great idea too (7 mmry presets!). Good review as always Shane!👍
It looks like fun, and it looks like it could be inspiring to play.
Great review. I just ordered one and hope it’s as good as my original micro cube that I shouldn’t have sold. Noticed you were using a loop at the start of your video. Does this amp have a looper or were you using something else?

Hello, I am a new subscriber. ❤
Love your reviews. What do you think about this NU>X 8BT MKII vs something like the Joyo DC-15S battery amp that you also reviewed? I kind of like the idea of an integrated lithium battery that can be charged while playing vs 8 AA rechargeable batteries in the NU>X 8BT MKII. I'm looking for something to replace my little Blackstar 3 Fly which takes 6 batteries which are a pain to recharge. I do think this 8BT sounds great but maybe the Mic jack and controls are wasted space for something else. But I'm trying to get away from tweaking software tones and more of actually playing instead. I mean that is a good feature for endless tones and effects but then it makes me feel like when I used to have the Blackstar ID:Core 20. Also your review if the NU>X 20BT is great too which is a definite contender to the ID:Core 20 V4.
Great playing and tones! How do you think this compares with the Spark?

I have the smallest Spark amp here right now, but I haven't tested it yet. The Spark probably compares more to the smaller NUX BT Lite II judging from the size.
I think look of the amp is important. You know its part of the vibe.
This or the positive grid equivalent? Thoughts?
Shane, That Walmart affiliate link is for the old Mighty 8 BT (I believe). Not the new Mighty 8 BT MKII that you reviewed. Also, does the Line Out not mute the speaker? So, can the Line Out be used with the Aux In with an external looper?

Hi! Thank you! Have you had the chance of testing and comparing the Mighty Air? Is this one the evolution of the Air?
I want it! :)
For a small practice amp is this the best one sir ?
Yes
How does it feel when playing, ive found these usually sound ok but feel bad
Can it be powered with a power bank?
Great video, thanks Shane. I'm torn between this and the Mighty Lite BT Mark II. For home use and occasionally playing guitar with a friend. I'm guessing th 8BT sounds sounds bigger, fuller and louder - but is it a bit too loud for quiet playing at home? Conversely, does the Mighty Lite BT Mark II sound significantly smaller and less 'impressive'? Also, they both are rated for use with bass guitars, yes? I'm guessing, as I play bass, that this will settle the question for me - the bigger amp will handle the bass better. I'd appreciate your thoughts on the sound questions if you get a moment mate. Thanks Shane!

This is a louder/bigger sounding amp so for any jamming I would suggest this over the BT Lite II. The BT lite is great for a desk amp but it's not great for jamming situations. You can make this amp work great at lower volumes.

@@intheblues Thanks Shane, appreciated. I've just discovered the Might Space though - search over! Foottswitchable looper and drums, wireless, more FX, louder if need be... It's the amp I've always wanted. All the best from the UK 👍
Is this gigable, using the line output?
Please do a comparison between the nux might 20 MK2, Mooer hornet 30i and the Joyo dc15s
Hello, could be enough for busking ( volume wise ) ?
In order to select an amp model you need the app? No way to adjust these things on the amp itself??
Is there subdivisions for delay?
Hi Shane. Love your channel. How does the compare to the Yamaha THR30, purely based on tone (not features) at bedroom volumes ? Is it much fuller sounding because if the larger spaekr. How much would uou give each on 10 ? I watched your desktop amp compilation but didnt notice this one..Thanks !

I first saw this brand on an Andertons' video, and I'll never be able not to call it "NUX."
It gets great tones for 8 watts !!

You can literally get great tones with 1w.A great 1w amp will blow any 15-30 watt practice amp out of the equation. 🙄
The reason I like this video is your Harley Benton gives me the perfect representation of how it would sound on my Fusion-III 25th Anniversary with the same Tesla humbucker so I trust this demo the most.
What is the difference of this and the 20bt mk2?
Looper?!?!? Looks like you can use the line out with aux in with an external looper?!?! That would be awesome!! I'm going to pick one of these up. Positive Grid totally screwed up with their Spark/Mini/Go by not including (either in the app, or FX loop) some way to loop properly. How did they think they were addressing the practice amp market, and not include that?!?!
@robertrozak1546

Or, does the Line Out mute the speaker? That would kill the looper idea ... Can someone answer if it mutes the speaker? The user manual doesn't specifically say that it does mute the speaker.
Where can I get good presets?
Can this be used as a Bluetooth speaker?
Looks like an amplifier version of NUx mighty plug pro
How can a beginner or even a seasoned player understand all the AMP and IR options? Is there a dictionary of terms available to give the user at least a clue as to what they refer to?
Wish they made it like the spark mini with a built in lithium charging battery

Only if the battery can be replaced though. Lithium batteries (in everything) degrade over time, sometimes drastically.
Nu-X are making some great gear of late. I would love to see their take on some higher end gear, perhaps even in the realm of tubes. They definitely have the skills.
I may have missed this, but can you save your own 3rd party irs in the amp?
@sboistan
Ай бұрын
also, provided they're around the same price, do you prefer this guy or the mighty light mk2? decisions, decisions...
When you save a preset, are you saving over any factory-installed presets? Or in a user-available preset? Also, the Walmart link goes to the old BT, NOT the MKII version.

It's a practice amp without tubes. You can dial on a great sound at any volume.
I just plugged in the first version of this amp which i never use any more. Actually currently listening to this video through it's Bluetooth. Its ver boxy sound and not really inspiring at all. Im in the market fora small bt practice amp and tried a second hand katana air yesterday for €250, far better. The only reason im holding onto the mk1 mighty 8 is that i can run a mic in it for singing at home while practicing

Sounds good but why didn't they just put a lipo in it and make it rechargeable 🤷 every modern gadget is rechargeable today.

It's a practice amp. If you want loud, buy a 40-watt tube amp
Weird. Really? Is it a tube amp? Then maybe. These battery amps need Lipos not AA.
I bought the previous model, sounded shite, and packed up after 4 months, junk
Absolutely sounds boxy and horrendous lol. Nice vid, just bad sounding product. Line was obviously way better. Was this sponsored?
