Throwing out a cool gift idea for anyone who is interested in, or has kids wanting to learn electric guitar/bass.

I’m fortunately passed the musical gear accumulation phase in life, but this tool has been the most useful device.

The “Fender Mustang Micro Plus.” $130.

It’s got amp modelers, effects and a headphone jack. The ability to synch with a phone via bluetooth and practice along to songs is a game changer. Can also be used as an interface to record via USB.

When performing solo I’ll often just show up with this alone and plug directly into a PA.

It’s laughable to think how handy this thing would have been over the years. So many makeshift setups in weird places. Now I’m able to rehearse anywhere and away from a computer screen. 🤙 slap on

Really cool!

Do you find there's any delay between guitar and amp/pa when connected via Bluetooth?

It’s receiving only with Bluetooth, so just wireless audio in. Out is standard headphone jack. Between latency and signal quality concerns, I’m still all in on cables out. I’ve had some baffling troubleshooting even with the pro wireless units. I’m sure the tech has improved but for me the cheaper wireless units coming out especially don’t cut it.

This other unit however has been entirely useful with everything it’s meant to do! Not sure if it could hold up with a band but for practice and solo performance it’s been fantastic.
