Fender has released the Mustang Micro Plus, a new update on the existing Mustang Micro.  The upgrade brings you 25 amp models, up from 12 on the regular Mustang Micro.  It also has an OLED screen, making adjustments of the amp models and effects a much easier affair than on the older model.  Charging is handled with a modern USB C port, which is nice since you will be doing this every 6 hours of play time.  Honestly, the battery life is the only thing bringing me down on this and who knows, maybe it wouldn't be that much of a problem.

The Mustang Micro Plus is selling for $149 USD.

Boss is looking to grab the attention of traveling guitarists as well with the new Boos Katana Mini X.  While the Fender Mustang Micro Plus requires headphones, Boss's Katana Mini X is more of a standard traveling amplifier with it's own speakers on board.  Unlike most amps this size, it features a wooden cabinet construction with a custom 5" speaker and 10 watts of power.  All features are controlled with analog switches and dials - no menu diving here!  With it's USB C rechargeable battery it provides up to 10 hours of play time and weighs in at 6 lbs.

MSRP for the Katana Mini X is $149 USD.
