Fender’s Mustang Micro is the brand’s smallest amplifier yet and could be the perfect practice companion. In this Guitar.com’s deep dive video, we check out all the bijou amplifier has to offer, from springy surf rock twang to saucy classic rock bite.

The Mustang Micro offers 12 amps and effects each, an adjustable input jack, 3.5mm headphone jack, a USB-C connector for direct recording and a rugged matte black enclosure.

The device offers its tones through a variety of presets for selecting Amp, EQ and Effects – the last of which can be further adjusted with a Modify parameter.

In Guitar.com’s 9/10 review of the Fender Mustang Micro, we said: “As a no-fuss home practice tool, beginner amp, travel rig, or even an emergency pedalboard amp, there’s no reason why all of us shouldn’t have one of these stowed away in our gigbags.”
