The NUX Mighty Lite BT first appeared in our 2019.07 edition of our recommended list for Guitar Amps Under $100 and it has remained on that list since.

Mighty Lite BT Overview

When it comes to value for money, this amp is hard to beat. The Nux Mighty Lite BT is a portable and affordable guitar combo amp with amp modeling and built-in effects.

It has 3 channels that include clean, overdrive, and distortion, which provides access to the most commonly used guitar tones. In addition, it has staple guitar effects that include delay and reverb, for add ambience. The overdrive channel in particular sounds full and responsive, which is impressive given its small speaker. The distortion channel also does a good job of providing saturated high gain tones. The clean channel is not as good, but useable.

It can double as a Bluetooth multi-media speaker for listening or playing along with tracks. Other features include having a built-in metronome and drum patterns that can help in improving sense of timing and tempo. Speaking of tempo, it also comes with a tap tempo button for syncing the timing of the included effects.

The amp is powered in three different ways, via a 9V power supply, via USB or for true untethered use, this amp can run on six AA batteries.

With its combination of good sound and flexibility, you are getting a lot of mileage from this small and affordable amp. If you're looking for a budget portable amplifier, then this should be high up on your list.
