I've got a brand new post for you on my Music Blog. It's a review of Fender's amazing new headphone amp, the Mustang Micro. 

 

Of course, nothing beats playing through a real amp, but as we all know, this ins’t always practical. Maybe you live in a tiny house with people who don't always want to hear you make loud guitar noises, or a condo or apartment with paper thin walls. Maybe you like like to play in other places where you can’t really take your amp.

 

The Mustang Micro plugs directly into your guitar and lets you play through an amazing selection of 12 virtual amps from classic Tweed, to modern high gain, and 12 different effects combination, like reverb, delay and compression, with the sound coming directly into your headphones.

 

The amp and effect models sound incredible, and it also has a really cool Bluetooth audio/video streaming feature, which allows you to stream music or video from your phone or tablet into the device, so you can hear that in your headphones as well. This allows you to play along with songs, backing tracks or online lessons.

 

Whether you’re leaning songs or practicing, or just want some musical freedom, this is an incredibly useful feature. You can also use it as an interface to record your guitar into the computer or tablet.
