NUX MIGHTY SPACE

Overview

Thank you for purchasing NUX MIGHTY SPACE. Following the success of MIGHTY LITE BT and MIGHTY AIR, these desktop modeling amplifiers have become an iconic category for the NUX brand. The flagship MIGHTY SPACE now offers more fun and enhanced user experience.

MIGHTY SPACE provides a variety of effects for electric guitar and bass guitar, including amp modeling and cabinet IRs. It also features acoustic amp modeling and acoustic IRs to simulate acoustic guitar sounds. You can further expand your tone by loading 3rd party IRs through the Mighty Editor™ edit software. The software automatically converts WAV format IRs to the device's required 32bits/48kHz format.

Note: There are 34 default IRs, and user IR slots are 20 (from 35 to 54).

Customize presets using the MightyAmp™ APP (mobile) or Mighty Editor™ edit software (PC). You can change the order of effect blocks and explore the versatile interface.

The MightyAmp™ APP and Mighty Editor™ software allow detailed tweaking of all signal blocks and parameters. MIGHTY PLUG PRO offers GATE, COMP, EFX, AMP, IR, EQ, MOD, DLY, and RVB effect blocks, with the ability to freely adjust their order. In addition to the 34 built-in IRs, there are 20 empty slots for 3rd party IRs. Mighty Editor™ automatically handles WAV(IR) format conversion.

MIGHTY SPACE supports USB audio stream, functioning as a USB recording interface. It supports Normal / Dry Out / Re-amp / Loopback routing, adjustable via MightyAmp™ APP or Mighty Editor™. This eliminates the need for USB OUT setup in your DAW. Use Loopback for live stream jamming.

Operation

Input Jack

Connect your guitar cable to the INPUT jack to start playing. When the B-5 TX transmitter is plugged into the INPUT jack while MIGHTY SPACE is on, the TX can be charged. The TX's LED indicator shows red during charging and turns off when fully charged.

Power Switch

Toggle the POWER switch to boot up the amplifier. The LED indicator shows red when the amp is on and turns off when the amp is off. If charging the amp with the power adaptor, the LED indicator flashes red during charging and turns off when fully charged.

Wireless Operation

Use the included B-5MA TX as a wireless cable. Power on the TX and hold the WIRELESS button to engage the amp's built-in receiver (RX). The WIRELESS LED indicator shows red when the RX is not receiving the TX's signal. When the TX and RX are paired, the LED indicator turns green, enabling wireless playing.

App Connectivity

The APP indicator turns blue when the MightyAmp™ APP connects with the device. To connect: Turn on the MightyAmp™ APP on your mobile phone, go to Settings, select "Current Amp" as "MIGHTY SPACE", and tap "click to scan devices". Once "MIGHTY SPACE" is found, tap it to connect. The APP indicator will turn blue. Note: For Android OS, GPS permission may be required for Bluetooth scanning.

Privacy Note: GPS data is not used for tracking. Location permission is required by Android for Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) device scanning. The APP uses Bluetooth MIDI for communication.

Audio Connectivity

The AUDIO indicator shows the Bluetooth audio connection status. To connect: Ensure MIGHTY SPACE is on and connected to the MightyAmp™ APP. Go to your phone/tablet's Bluetooth settings, find "MIGHTY SPACE", and connect. A prompt sound indicates a successful connection, and the AUDIO indicator turns blue. If not connected, the indicator is off. Bluetooth audio and Bluetooth MIDI are separate; manual connection may be needed after initial setup or changing control devices.

Channel Switching

The CHANNEL switch cycles through the seven built-in presets. The CHANNEL indicator color changes with each preset. You can customize which presets are active and their order using the Mighty Amp™ App or Mighty Editor™ software to simplify switching.

Effects and Presets

The MIGHTY SPACE features a signal chain of 9 effect blocks: GATE, COMP, EFX, AMP, IR, EQ, MOD, DLY, and RVB. The order of these blocks can be freely rearranged using the MightyAmp™ APP or Mighty Editor™ software. Each preset can have a 'Patch Level' setting.

Battery Status

The battery indicator shows low battery and charging status. MIGHTY SPACE provides approximately 7 hours of playing time on a full charge, which takes about 7 hours. The LED indicator is solid orange while charging and solid green when fully charged. A flashing red indicator signals low battery, requiring immediate charging.
