I've been playing and singin with this amp for a few months now. It's clearly underevaluated. The sound both for guitar and voice is top level. I have the fender acoustic 100 as well, bigger, a little bit more powerfull but but for me there is no possible comparison : the nux is a lot more precise. Plus the effects are stunning, plus the looper and drum machine and 100 euros less extensive. Bonus : if you love to play and sing reggae dub it's just incredible. Cause you can record loops and have an incredible fun playing with the app on your voice with the excellent analog delay emulation... try it, it's really Amazing. The only bad point : some bugs with the app and it's a pitty that the line out is in mono. Edit : been busking- long life battery- this summer with it. A little lack of power but it works, you have to find a good spot with natural reverberation : I performed in small but crowded streets in Aix en Provence and it was ok. People were surprised by the sound quality and I earned a little good money 😉

For some reason I'm reminded of the remarkable rig John Martyn had years ago using two pickups on his guitar, one giving an untreated signal the other with fx. This is in pre app days! Certainly an interesting and clearly versatile amp. Particularly like that it has an input for a dynamic mic. Presumably no 48v for a condenser which would be a good idea. But all in all a pretty neat little amp.

Wow, a busker’s dream, though maybe too nice to take to the street. Very smooth tones and though I haven’t heard a Fishman in awhile, this has to compare favorably even without taking price into account. I could do without the emulations as none of them sounded like the models emulated to my ears though they did mange to capture the thinness of the Taylor tone😀. I would definitely like to check this out in person. Great vid and great playing as always. Cheers!

I'm afraid that's true. Piezoelectric is so bad, guitarist need the extra preamps and a bunch of effects, like putting makeup on a pig. They are out dated. Most people prefer LR Baggs. It would be very realistic to review an acoustic amp, with the popular KnK Mini. They are affordable, no battery, sound great.

The amp has a really nice low and and gorgeous highs, it’s not necessarily mid humped like a fishman amp although you can change this using the eq or modelling on the app, depends what kind of classic sound you are after, in my opinion it would work really well with classical guitar, thanks for watching!

If so can you explain to me how to do this and what cables are needed? Also would your reverb/EFX settings you have selected/configured, carry through to the DAW when recording? If none of this is possible, what is the best way to get record songs? Your help would be much appreciated. Thank you

Sorry for all the questions, I'm dumb at this. Thanks

No worries at all! We are all learning! For stereo out, use 2 XLRs to an audio interface from the captor X, then pan them left and right (the captor X uses stereo reverb) for mono out just use one XLR out from the captor X to the audio interface (which plugs into your PC) hope that helps!

Whoa, that's actually pretty slick. Though, my only thing with this is the price and here's why. The IR is ok at best, if I was serious about IR I'm going to go with a Fishman or LR Baggs stomp. I think this might be a good practice amp, but what is it like compared to say the Spark, and I've kind of changed my ways in regards to practice rigs with stuff like their MG-30 or Headrush or Line 6 anyways. Not sure if this one is price appropriately (I'm seeing $500 in the US at 1 shop that says out of stock anyways).
