EXPLAINED: Fender mustang micro vs mustang micro plus is it worth upgrading | Vintage Vibes

A Fender Mustang Micro and Mustang Micro Plus next to each other on a wooden floor.

Headphone amps for guitar are an awesome way to practice, providing a low-maintenance, small, and lightweight way to produce your guitar tones. Over the last few years I've been using my Mustang Micro for late-night writing sessions, as well as taking it with me when I travel for work, giving me the opportunity to keep my skills sharp whenever I get some downtime on the road.

I'm a huge fan of modeling amp tech, and following the recent release of the Mustang Micro Plus, I was given the latest version of Fender's tiny tone machine to review for Guitar World. Having had my hands on both, it made sense that my next job would be to determine which was superior, and whether it’s worth upgrading for existing Mustang Micro users.
