I just received my Nux amp. I was sceptical since some of the review videos made it sound a bit fizzy and not very pleasing. In this review I will give you the actual unbiased assessment of this amp.First the sounds are amazing. I'm using a $450 sterling Axis and a $300 Ibanez AZ guitar. The trick is to dial back the highs on the amp models. Some models I dial back the highs and mids to get the best Marshall 800 sound that I have ever had in the 45 years of playing guitar. (I have never owned an 800 Marshall Plexi) The effects are really smooth and beautiful. I had a Nux MG 30 at some point and the sounds coming out of this little box are so much better.I would say the only negative is that the volume is not very loud. Since this is supposed to be for practice that might not be a negative for some. It does handle the bass but at an even lower volume although it does sound great as well. The Bluetooth streaming is really good. The volume is very loud for its size. Since I use this amp in the living room I have no need of more volume.Overall I think this could be the best practice amp available. The portability and sounds bring this to the top. Using the wireless dongle works great and makes this amp truly wireless. As long as higher volumes are not a priority this amp will satisfy for sure. By the way I'm comparing the sounds I hear with the ones in the Hx Stomp. I took the headphone out on the Nux and ran it into the smaller Headrush speaker and the sounds are still great. Perfect backup system. If I had a footswich that worked with the Nux I would be tempted to use it live. Good luck and happy jamming!

I gave a glowing previous review. After ownig this amp for a longer period of time, most of my review is still applicable with the exception of running the headphone line out to a speaker or PA. The line out is not as good as what comes out of the speakers. It's not nessessarilly bad just not as good as using a helix. If you would mic the speaker then that will get you close. On my wish list would be more drum beats. Maybe with a future update. I love this amp!
