00:00 What's up? Paul here from Guitar World and today we're going to be checking out an incredible modeling guitar, acoustic and bass amplifier
00:06 that will blow you away with its versatility and tone. The Nu-X Mighty Space. Let's check it out.
00:13 [Music]
00:39 So, what is the Nu-X Mighty Space? In a nutshell, it's a powerful and portable 30 watt stereo wireless modeling amp
00:47 for electric and acoustic guitars and bass. But it's many things. It's an amp, an amp modeler, a multi-effects processor, an amp head.
00:56 It has a built-in wireless and comes with a wireless transmitter and a drum machine and looper.
01:03 The amp sounds great as is, but once you pair it with its companion app or use the Mighty Editor software on Mac and PC,
01:11 you have unlimited flexibility with its plethora of features and your tonal possibilities are nearly endless.
01:17 [Music]
01:25 So, what is it that all guitars want? You can agree, we just want to get up and running without any fuss
01:30 and the Mighty Space comes with everything you need to do just that and get started.
01:35 The amp comes with Nu-X's B5 wireless transmitter that works wirelessly up to 100 feet
01:42 and the amp is also battery powered and can last over 7 plus hours off playtime on a single charge.
01:48 It also comes with the NMP2 footswitch for drum and looper control or for switching through presets.
01:55 So, before I even show you and get to the app, let's use this Mighty Space as a standalone amp.
02:01 [Music]
02:15 On the top, you can see all the standard amp controls and for its sound,
02:20 it features dual 4-inch coaxial speakers that are loud and clear.

02:39 [Music]
02:57 [Music]
03:17 [Music]
03:40 So, how does it achieve the realistic amp-like tones?
03:43 Like Nu-X's MG400 modeler, which I reviewed and loved,
03:47 the Mighty Space's Sonic engine houses two powerful DSP chips for Nu-X's high-definition white box amp modeling algorithm
03:56 or TSACHD, which stands for True Simulation of an Analog Circuit and Core Image Post Effects,
04:04 which translates to you're going to feel the difference in playability
04:08 and experience realistic amp and cab sounds from the Mighty Space.
04:13 What's amazing is you can drive external cabinets like a 412 via its speaker out jack.
04:19 [Music]
04:38 So far so good, right?
04:40 Now, let's get to the Mighty Space mobile app.
04:43 [Music]
04:52 Right now, you're looking at the Mighty Space edit window where you have seven presets to choose from,
04:57 which are the same as the amp from which you just heard.
05:00 You can also select by using the active button which presets are active by simply unchecking the other presets.
05:07 This is great if you only need a few presets if you're playing live and just to quickly go through.
05:13 Now, below that, you'll see the signal path block chain with nine processing blocks that you can easily rearrange
05:21 or adjust the order anywhere in the signal path.
05:24 You can even move a delay before the amp or in front of the amp, for example.
05:28 At the moment, I have the amp block open so you can see what model amp I'm currently running
05:34 and the control set of EQ and amp settings to adjust.
05:38 And if you wish to change the amp currently in operation,
05:41 simply touching the amp button will show you a list of 21 model amps to choose from.
05:47 From there, you can select the IR impulse responses block to select 34 premium built-in IRs,
05:54 which include guitar cabs, bass guitar cabs, acoustic guitar IRs, and chop tone IRs.
06:00 And scrolling down further, you'll see an additional 20 user slots for third-party IR loading.
06:06 You can select other blocks to choose from and edit parameters from over 43 effects that include gates,
06:14 compressors, modulation, reverb delays, EQs, and EFX, which includes overdrives, boosts, distortions, and fuzz.
06:22 And if you wish to tweak any of the presets or create your own, don't forget to hit save.
06:27 Moreover, if you'd rather use your computer, you can, and get even more tones and IRs from the Mighty Space
06:34 by using Nu-X's intuitive Mighty Editor software for your Mac or PC computer.
06:39 Nu-X is consistent in firmware updates, so you can pretty much bank on Nu-amps and cab sims at some point.
06:45 Just keep on checking Nu-X's online page and Facebook page and groups.
06:49 Next up is the drum machine with a bunch of patterns and genres to play along to.
06:54 And you can control volume, EQ, and tempo, or tap the tempo if you wish.
06:59 Moving over to the looper, you have total control.
07:14 And again, both the drum and looper have foot-switchable control.
07:23 [Drums]
07:39 The Mighty Space's USB-C port allows live streaming for computers and mobile phones,
07:45 and supports normal, dry-out, re-amp, and loop-back routing.
07:50 Finally, there's the Jam Track section, where there are backing tracks and artist tracks to play along to and with,
07:56 and you can even add your own custom tracks.
07:59 One of the coolest features here is you're able to change presets within a track.
08:03 This is called adding events.
08:05 Simply click on the overwrite icon to the right, find the timecode, or move within the song,
08:11 and hit the add button, which prompts you to pick one of your presets to embed.
08:15 You can keep doing this as much as you like, or remove it by clicking the trash icon or the clear all button.
08:22 What's great is it just allows you to concentrate on playing and swap different sounds on the track.
08:28 [Music]
08:55 The Mighty Space is the total package as a formidable guitar and bass/modeler combo amp
09:01 for players who want to get right down to playing without any fuss and want absolute control over their sound.
09:07 The amp comes with some of the finest guitar tones available,
09:10 and when paired with the mobile app or Mighty Editor software,
09:14 it offers endless versatility to get your playing up to speed or simply laying down music tracks.
09:19 Of course, another huge benefit is its portable design and wireless control
09:23 allows you to take it anywhere from the studio to the stage.
09:27 This is one Mighty amp that many players will be talking about.
09:31 Definitely check it out.
