guitars

Update?

Update: I bought a b-stock Nux Mighty Space and it's been working great! Just what I needed. That being said, some things I'm using more than others. Things I use:

• USB interface as a speaker for my PC. Speakers in my monitor are just trash. This is way better. It's not stereo HiFi, but I have dedicated speakers for that.

• Wireless dongle. So convenient and makes me play more than before. A bonus is you can also have a different guitar plugged inat the same time. Not super important, but still.

• App is decent and there's an open source alternative, making sure the amp is supported for many years.

• it's nice that it is just a basic Bluetooth speaker when you connect to it. Haven't used it that much, but I can see it coming in handy every once in a while.

Things I haven't used:

• Looper - not used to it that much

• drum loops - seem basic and kind of crappy

• tinkering - I'm fairly satisfied with the presets out of the box, so I haven't found the need to tinker too much. Perhaps occasionally gain and eq.

Things that bother me a bit:

• All the presets are too bass-heavy. There's a global eq that can be tweaked. This bothers me on so many audio devices lately. More bass is NOT always more better. I dialed it in, but cmon. I'm not 12. The guitar is never supposed to be that boomy.

That's it, any questions, just shoot.

In terms of price, you'd be better off with a regular 10" practice amp.

I also don’t have great PC speakers, so maybe I could also use it as general speaker there.

I'd assume most amps are voiced to make guitars sound good, not to make general audio output (especially music) sound good. If you prioritize this, you might as well buy an audio interface (behringer is fine) and some half decent active speakers, which would provide a whole world of digital amp+fx options. Though personally I'm not quite comfortable with turning my speakers up enough to drown out the pick noise, IDK if this is actually an issue though.
