Mystic 2 Road Tests: What the Pros Really Think

What Happens When These Top-Tier Crews Put the Mystic 2 to Work?

From massive outdoor shows to high-pressure touring environments, the Mystic 2 isn’t just surviving—it’s leading the pack. To get a true sense of its impact, we connected with the pros who use it day in and day out. Here's what makes it stand out.

Meet the Master FX Mystic 2

The Master FX Mystic 2 was designed to bridge the gap between powerful performance and real-world flexibility. Built with working crews in mind, it’s become a go-to for those who need consistent haze, intuitive controls, and gear that can withstand the demands of touring and venue work.

• Dual Fluid Density Option – Whether you're going for a dense, immersive effect or a subtle atmosphere, the Mystic 2’s compatibility with both Obscure and Nebulous haze fluids gives you total control over look and feel.

• Advanced and Intuitive Operating System – The full-color display, onboard speaker, and clean manual/DMX interface make it easy to use in fast-paced environments where every second counts.

• 10-Year Warranty – This isn’t just a feature—it’s a statement. A full decade of warranty coverage reflects the confidence Master FX has in the Mystic 2’s durability and performance in the field.

We have taken the unit for a spin ourselves. But this time, we checked in with some of the top names in the industry who have been putting it through its paces every day. Here’s what they had to say:

Mystic 2 Road Test: How Volt Lites Puts It to Work

First we checked in with the rockstars at Volt Lites and to talk all things Mystic 2.

How They Use It:

In rugged live event environments where reliability, volume, and consistency matter most.

What They Said:

“The Mystic 2 performs reliably in tough live event settings, making it one of our go-to hazers. It puts out more haze than any other unit we use regularly, creating a consistent atmosphere that really brings lighting and effects to life.” — Paisha Bleich, Volt Lites

What Stood Out:

• Obscure is their go-to fluid, but having Nebulous on hand gives them creative flexibility.

• They rarely need service—but when they do, support is fast and rock solid.

Upstaging’s Take on the Mystic 2: Real-World Results

Next, we caught up with our friends at Upstaging and learned about how they were using the Master FX Mystic 2.

How They Use It: 

For large venues and even select outdoor settings, where scale and durability are everything.

What They Said:

“The Mystic 2 puts out A LOT of haze. Their 10-year warranty speaks volumes—if it didn’t perform, that would put them out of business. Vince and the crew put their money where their mouth is.” — Chuck Spector, Upstaging

What Stood Out:

• Top-tier service: When a tour ran into issues, Master FX flew a technician out the next day. “Needless to say, we weren’t the only ones impressed with their support that day – Our client was completely thrilled,” Chuck added. 

• Bonus points: Mystic 2 is the only hazer Chuck’s seen with an onboard speaker and color display.

Why Brown Note Trusts the Mystic 2 on Tour

Last, but not least, we connected with the crew at Brown Note Productions to see how their haze was doing.

How They Use It: 

For installations and touring setups where compact reliability, fast setup, and consistent output are essential.

What They Said: 

“We love that these hazers roll into a venue, plug in, and are show-ready. They’re reliable, consistent units our team can count on every time. The built-in fan really sets them apart—it adds a level of performance we haven’t seen in other models. Overall, they’re compact, powerful, and incredibly dependable in the field.” — Brown Note Productions Crew

What Stood Out:

• They’ve used Obscure fluid exclusively and found it delivers reliably in every setting.

• The built-in fan enhances performance in ways other hazers haven’t matched.

• Interface is intuitive—quick to learn, easy to adjust.

• Service interactions (ordering repair parts) were prompt, smooth, and professional.

From Us

Talking with these crews who use the Mystic 2 day in and day out, one thing stood out: it’s the kind of gear you can count on. Switching between Obscure and Nebulous fluid gives teams real control over look and feel, and the onboard display and speaker make setup and adjustments way easier than you’d expect. It runs quiet, pushes out a ton of haze, and doesn’t need babysitting once it's going. Blending seamlessly into any setup, everyone we spoke to made it clear: this thing just works. It’s reliable, and that’s what makes it so key.

Final Word

After checking in with Paisha at Volt, Chuck at Upstaging, and the crew at Brown Note, the feedback was pretty aligned: the Mystic 2 doesn’t overpromise; it delivers. Whether it’s the fluid flexibility, the ease of use, or the way it quietly holds down a room with consistent haze, it’s become a go-to for crews who need something that works every time. Whether you’re touring coast to coast or dialing in your look in a controlled space, it delivers dense, even haze with the kind of reliability that earns your trust.
