This unit is by far not only the best bang for your buck , it’s an all around full functional bad ass sounding piece of gear … I’ve had most all modelers and this is my fav 👍
Great demo Fluff! :) We hope you've enjoyed our Factory Presets and IRs!
I was waiting for this!
My lead guitar order it a few days ago, can't wait to hear it.
This is a great sounding bedroom rig. A couple of powered studio monitors and it would sound better than any real amp you could run in a small space. Certainly a hell of a value when you compare it to the price of say a really good OD or reverb.
Would love to see and hear you build two or three patches from scratch that you would feel comfortable using in a gig situation.
Exactly. There are still a lot of questions I have. Would love a more in-depth setup and comparison to the HX Stomp for example.
That would be sweet, I don’t know if he did it with the Helix review but I remember when he did the Pod HD he created a REALLY tight patch for it that I believe ended up being one of highest rated/most downloaded on customtone (at that time)
Jazz Hands! Hey Fluff, what are you using for a stand propping it up in the demo?
It would be cool to see more reviews of products you like without company involvement. The modified Rectifier episode was really cool for example, would love to see more stuff like that, more tone chasing videos. The stuff you're really passionate/excited about is always more entertaining imo.
Who is going to pay for it?
This is true, but at the end of the day, if this is your income you have to make decisions on what’s best for your business and what’s going to keep you going so you can make the videos you love. The NuX guys are super cool, and I feel confident that their involvement is not coloring Fluffs perspective.
@@TaylorDanley That's a good take. I have nothing against sponsorships, I just feel weird when the sponsor is also the manufacturer of the product being showcased. But to his credit, it's not like he tries shoving sponsorships into every single video.
@@user-zr2pz8rr2l I know what you mean. It’s just like how you can’t watch a new blockbuster movie without a bunch of product placement and scenes that feel like mini advertisements for Mercedes or whatever. Unfortunately/fortunately by and large advertising dollars fund most artistic and creative work.
how do you consider it as a multi-effect ?
for a small budget with a tube amp (20 W Orange stomp), it is a good machine for the reverbs, the chorus, the tremolos, the delays ?
is it a good alternative for digital effect pedals ?
honestly ?
Hey Mr Fluff, could you tell us why most of your Rectifier are 2 channels? Do you prefer the 2 channels over the 3?? I saw you have a 3 channels but it's the only one on 4 amps so I was asking myself if there was a reason behind that...
By the way we can see you play more and more often your PRS guitar, and the SE especially, is it your main guitar now?
I see this unit comes with an additional two foot switches that can be connected to the pedal. The question I would like answered to can the MG-30 be programmed so that either effects can be toggled on/off on the fly and secondly, could any of the footswitches be assigned to two presets or patches that are NOT numerically listed in the bank? (ex. you want factory preset #10 to play rhythm in a song but you want to switch to custom patch xyz to play a solo in the middle and also want to revert back to factory preset #10 to finish the same song)
I hit the like button just for the for the sound of the very first riff.👍🤘🤘
Can you plug an Acoustic Guitar into it? Which amp model would one use?
I understand that the Acoustic Sims are for an electric guitar to sound like an acoustic guitar..
You know what I’m curious about? What is the stand you are using to prop it up? The one I have sucks! 🤣
Looks like a football tee for kickoffs.🤣
@@robzilla69 holy hell, I think you’re right! I have one of those around here somewhere I should try. Waiting for Fluff to confirm 🤪
@Riffs, Beards & Gear
What is that stand that you are using foo make it stand upright on the desktop ?
hello! On the Mg 30, using the 4-cable method, would I be able to put the Nux preamp after the fxloop?Thanks!
Just got a NUX MG30, it has a lot of noise on almost all the presets. Turning the noise gate on stops the sound from sustaining well. Can anyone help?
Great!
Where did you get the 2-bit stand the MG30 was sitting on (large inset on left). 🇦🇺
How do you think this would pair with a Revv G20 (in the loop/ 4cable)?
Hello, thanks for the excelent content.
I'm trying to use the MG 30 with the 4 cable method with my head and cabinet, but I noticed that the output mode equalization greatly influences the sound, makes the sound more bass and treble in every output mode.
Even disengaging all effects, mods, preamp and IR, the sound is very different from the natural when i use the amp alone, and makes it impossible to use ,no matter how much I adjust the EQ in the output mode or pre eq. Please can you help me? Is there any way to turn off the output equalization or make it flat? Thanks
Yes exactly said i regret buying this
How does this compare to the Line 6 Go?
Is there a software for the computer available/needed? How easy is it to create your own preset? What exactly are the 30 installed amp sims? Cab sims? I have so many questions unanswered.
Quicktone program is available for PC and Mac. Makes programming the thing easier and just as intuitive as setting up a pedal board. Cab sim IRs can be added from any of the many 3rd party sites on the net. The one glaring omission for amps is the 5150.
Can you plug this into a regular guitar amp? And use it like a head?
Nice bro... Nux MG30 nice sound and cheap price the budget modeler nowdays..
How has this pedal held up over one year, is it issue free. Thanks.
Dude, this looks great for solo live gigs when you want to simplify your setup. I ended up getting the Line 6 POD Go, which is serving me well (I'm not playing full-on metal at these gigs, mainly acoustic and 'clean' electric). But I'd be interested t try this out, too.
Bro, the pod go stomps on this. You're good with the pod go for metal
Is the "Studio Direct Output" setting for going straight into studio monitors?
Soooo do I just plug this into a cab and go? Orrrrrrrr do I need something else also
I've had this for about a year now and I'm pretty happy with it as a casual user, hard to complain for $300. Sounds good in headphones and easy to modify the sounds. One complaint I have is the way you have to rename the patches, like you are doing a youtube search on your smart TV, is such a pain in the butt, that all my patches now have names like PeteTowns*(&KHHLGH*&ARGH.
Which is better the Boss GT 1 or the NUX MG-30?
Looks cool
How do you find the sound quality when using through headphones? Nobody seems to cover that in demo videos. 🥺
@@IshredGuitar That's not what I asked though is it? That's not even remotely the same thing as using headphones. 🤣
NuX commented on Taylor Danley's review that they will be adding a 5150 patch in a future update because there is not one atm. Hope it sounds as nice as the rest in this unit, the Recto patch sounded great. I'd definitely grab one if I didn't already have a Pod Go.
🙌🤘🤘
@@TaylorDanley love your vids man. Are you watching the McGregor/Poirier fight this weekend?
@@coreyrramsay8858 DUDE 110% Conor McGregor is the reason I started training at SBG, and it would be unacceptable for me to not watch any of his fights 🤣
Glad you like the vids! Thanks for watching 🥳
I didn’t realize ppl bought the DiarrheaGo
the sound quality of this unit knot so great
This thing is giving me DigiTech RP 250 vibes and the RP 250 is my favorite pedal because I'm an idiot and don't own any petals.
Sounds like rp50 though
I have a truck load of pedals and a axe III but most of the time, it's neural dsp and a guitar :)
That doesn't make you an Idiot
@@risortestvideo5340 i only want a box that does what neural dsp does. is that too much to ask?
@@luciano.armani not really, just don't expect a 400 box to sound like a 1200 box.
Update your firmware to the latest version. It adds new effects and features to the MG-30
It looks like a metal body construction, is it? Or plastic?
It’s interesting how the main Chinese brands are starting to evolve into price and quality tiers. Seems like it won’t be long until they’re not seen as “Chinese guitar brands” and just “guitar brands”. Mooer already seem as though they’ve almost escaped that label.
I love my Preamp Live!
That is a broad thinking and a realistic one at that. Cheers
@@BubbleWrapPerson me too! It adds so much versatility if you already have a full rig set up. I used to use amp sims for my recordings but now I record all guitars through the Preamp Live.
If they’d just stop ripping shit off and make their own it’d be easy
HEY WHATS THE USC C POINT
AND HOW CAN USE IT WIRELESS
What output mode do you use
can you move fx blocks to whereever you want it in the chain?
Yes, on the MG300, I believe you could only move the mod block, but on the MG30, you can move any of them anywhere, for better or worse.
Wow. That’s pretty impressive.
Здравствуйте! Он не хуже по качеству звучания чем Boss gt 100?
I have this and it’s excellent. Anybody wanting to up their game significantly, you need a looper.
I'm a guitar noob. Can you plug this in front of a combo amp or directly into a cab ?
Yes, it has settings to turn off the amp modeling, and also turn off the cab (IR) modeling, so you can use just the effects into your choice of amp/speaker.
The real question though is how does it compare to something similarly priced
Would this be good for recording direct?
Yes, and it's also an interface
Would it play well with a synth?
my thought too
Can you utilize just the effects and get your base sound from an actual amp?
Probably, seems to be the norm with these units now
There are several modes for going into an amp, either into the guitar input, the effects loop, etc.
@@oyobass I know how cables work that's not my question.
Can the mg30 be ran without any its amp "models" in the "effects chain" is what I should have asked.
@@someoneyoudontknow3257 Ah I see. They can be removed from the chain manually. One of the output modes I was talking about you can switch to does that automatically for all patches, I think it's the one labeled "front".
Found it. For anyone curious you can use it as an all in one effects board
This video is almost a year old by now, but isn't the MG-300 the "little brother" of the MG-30? Not the "bigger brother".
Did that say Recto Beast on the NUX's screen? Not sure i like the sound of that ' Recto Beast' i mean i know Recto refers to a Rectifier but 'Recto Beast' it's erm, it's a terrifying f g thought.
What if NUX vs Mooer?🤔
Is this a step above the Digitech variants at this price range?
I’d say that it is a safe bet to conclude indeed it is
The setting at the 4:20 wasn't the best to demonstrate dynamic range. I think clean where we can hear the volume going up and down and edge of breakup so we can hear it going down to overdriven with adjustments with pick attack would have been better. That said it really is hard if not impossible to be able to gauge dynamics through any video, there's just too much compression caused be recording, storing it, then streaming it through a computer doesn't allow it. That is why I think a clean going into overdriven is really the only way to hear it, but even then it's more or less a hint of what you might hear.
Im going to get one of these though. I have a Headrush that i use at home, but when i gig or play out i use either a 50W Dumble clone or Silver Jubilee. I use a Strymon Iridium for modelling live and a traditional pedal board.
This looks small and light enough and sounds pretty great, so it may serve and let me take fewer pedals.
If you trust you tube demos for sound quality you’re gonna be disappointed in a lot of gear
@@tommilitello198 I know it was a long comment read, typing on a phone and only seeing 3 or 4 lines of type sometimes leads to longer posts than I intend to make (this one is probably going to be the same), but I'm well aware of the folly on using CZcams for any more than an general idea of the sound. High gain is useless to listen to, it's only EQ curve you're going to get.
Подставка идёт с ним в комплекте?
It’s a very good modeling for the money - I have to agree
Yes cheaper than line6, which I hate. I am a Roland Gr-55 guy into a pa. gives analog. I know had to get and costly. I have always said and truly belive, the general public does not really notice like we do. It is all about the music you are composing and who you surround yourself with that is going to make MONEY.
@@shawnshipstad866 definitely all good points Shawn - I would have to admit I find the closest Line6 competitor to be all around a bit better… but only a bit and honestly I’m not a huge fan. But the difference in $$$ for that “bit” is a LOT
only one distortion sound ?
Even though the logical thought of higher number = higher capacity is what first came to my mind.....I believe is the opposite with the MG 30 / 300. As I understand the MG 300 is the small brother of the MG 30.
With no xlr out to send to front of house would you recommend this for giging?
You could get a couple DI boxes to solve that one, that’s how we get the signal from electric keyboards
I play with this live, and just go through a direct box. It would be nice if it had XLR out, but I make due.
I’m still searching for a Tremonti like yours!
Are your arms are wide open?
Lol I was on the same mission as you. Gave up when I bought a ZachMyers SE. Not that it's better but I am kinda contented with the ZM.. for now 😁
Is it just my speakers or does this unit sound like it's got a blanket over it? Like its too compressed
Blankets don’t compress
You mean dark and muddy? No brightness? That's probably how he likes his guitar sound.
Will this run as an amp? I.e. directly in to a cab?
You'll need a power amp to provide a load for your cab
Or can run the out from the mg30 to your amps fx return just will need an amp head with fx loop obviously
please do a vs headrush mx5??
This seems to completely blow Boss GT crap out of the water for the price. I've been playing for 20 years, I want one of these.
Modeling units hve came such a long ways !!
Right - It’s crazy
From my 1990s line 6 tube tone ax2 to this, yeah its like going from the car to landing on the moon.
@@theviking8189 it’s even wilder as there was like a 40 year gap between those two events lmao - 🤘🏻
@@atel-lexmusic9776 cars have been around a lot longer than the late 20s but I get where you're coming from.
@@theviking8189 🤘🏻
No midi out :(
I take it I can run pedals into the send/return? I doubt this thing has an HM2, in it.
Yes. There's a whole video about it, moron.
This Has a mono effects loop in it.
So my question is this or the Mooer GE200?
Hotone Ampero!
Has he shown us that PRS??????
Can this be switched off via a button and use your own amp sounds then boom press of a button it's on, all the pedalboards I've seen/owned are permanently on loosing my amp sounds, I want a pedalboard that can be versatile with my tube amp🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I don’t think it would be as simple as pressing a button but you could do some sort of custom A/B setup if you wanted to make it happen.
@@atel-lexmusic9776 gutted trying to find a pedal board I can utilise the two as and when I want instead of loosing my amp completely
@@davidmurray9193 what is your tube amplifier if I may ask?
@@atel-lexmusic9776 Laney ironheart 120 full stack
This is how I use my HX Effects. Sounds great.
It's unlisted be on the channel... odd
Had the MG-300 which is even more of a bargain, pretty dope Uberschall Sim, with some nice IRs, little EQ and boost? More than usable.
I think it really depends on the purpose of using one. I find the MG30 to be more suitable for my needs, it has effects loop, stereo outs. Especially the bass and acoustic guitar capabilities, a very all in one too in a studio. But if you are into just electric guitars MG300 is a really really good bang for the buck, sound and IRs are just what separates it from its similarly priced competitors.
@@TheTruth70777 Yeah, exactly. MG-30 is supposed to be more professional wheras MG-300 is more of a practice companion and a backup for a bigger rig.
I think you put this in the "recent uploads" playlist by mistake?
Fluff, how did you record the audio for this video with the NUX?
I can't say for sure how he was running it, but the MG30 works as a direct audio interface if you run the USB-C connection to your computer, and select it in your DAW.
Test spin - starts sensless rhythm shredding... Man, people need to know how well it emulates the amp sound and does it actually produce a response similar to the one of the amp.
Also, what's the point of clean sound demos? How is it helpful when your viewers are trying to understand how well it emulates the amp sound?
It would help to hear less of catchy sales phrases and more of an honest opinion about the sounds, functionality, etc.
you're not gonna find these things in this channel.
Fyi the Amazon link states they are sold out.
Thank the chip shortage for that. They are starting to hit the shelves in North America in bigger numbers though.
Hi Fluff, just a constructive criticism here. I've been following your channel for years. You say that thoughts and opinions are yours, but some things you say about the unit did sound like a premeditated advertisement. Not all of them tough but the dynamic range thing for example... I don't really buy it! :P But I could be wrong. Keep it up!
you're not wrong at all. lots of more reliable channels out there.
I think it was a deliberate choice by Fluff to make it seem as much like an ad as possible .. it comes off that way to me.
Nissssssssssssssssssce 🍻
Tell them to build use a small standalone capture/profiling pedal :)
That’s not going to happen anytime soon there’s a reason the cheapest profiler is literally thousands
czcams.com/video/AviUymM_As4/video.html
czcams.com/video/J7m3lUslN4Q/video.html
They already had Solid Studio that can do IR capture for CAB, and Optima Air can do IR deconvolution for Acoustic Impulse Response.
I wish just one video would explain once the presets are built, how to toggle between them in a live situation. Like Clean, Rhythm, and Lead.
For live gigs, my Korg Toneworks AX1500G kicks it's ass for convenience, but what you can do is set the Ctrl button for Scenes, which allows you to add extra effects (delay, rev, overdrive, etc) with two more sets per patch, and then program 3 or 4 patches next to each other. This allows you some flexibility and ease while switching sounds. For instance, on one patch, scene 1 is my standard clean sound, scene 2 adds a flanger and gives my Andy Summers police clean sound. One more push of of the Ctrl gives me a fat clean lead sound using compression and reverb. One patch/ 3 different sounds. Furthermore using the expression foot (double) switch that comes with it, allows you to assign 2 more effects to those switches. Hope that helps.
@@jstnxprsn thanks man
@@leejun5061 My pleasure. Hope you find that useful.
The mg300 is the bigger version? It's like half the price of the MG30.
The MG 300 Is the Little Brother of MG 30
Am I not supposed to be here? This was on the channel for a minute apparently
Gotta be honest this sounds like a big ad tbh, like a sales pitch. Would greatly appreciate further personal impressions on it, maybe give it a little while and give ur honest options on its usefulness. I know it sounds like I'm whining
sorry if im bein wierd dude......... however, you have a standing freq at 2.3khz in this vid..................... great vid though. sounds like an amazin choice for all.
All sorts of issues with this thing. Problems with active pickups and passives(on the acoustic IR's only). WAY too much gain, turning up to 2 is like 6.
The clean sounds/acoustic sounds aren't bad so it's kind of a shame. Sending it back. "You get what you pay for" still undefeated
which Modelling Amp do you use? I had the Fender GTX50 and Ampero II and the NUX just has gains clear and beefy. GTX and Ampero very digital
Id like a side by side compare to the high end stuff. I was duped into line 6 when i entered the digital world, years back and that pushed me right back to tube amps. Id rather have 1 amazing tube amp than a bunch of bad digitized tones.
The Helix line isn't "bad". You wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
@@morganghetti isn’t the Helix like $1600. I had a PodGo which sounded really good and probably 98% of the Helix. I think it was like $400.
Use your foot to change from rhythm to lead. There is a massive time delay. The noise gate no good. I also had to put a external distortion pedal due to the poor quality of distortions. Also the foot switches break down like 4 months of use. Wouldn't recommend this unit to anyone
Amazonville appears to be sold out...
Unavailable...
Sounds like my 1996 Ibanez pt-3. By that I mean....doesn't sound real....flat ....this or a pedal board of Beringer clones.....I'd go behringer
What Joe Lutz said.
wait what? the mg300 is a worse version and smaller i think you might be confused
I caught that too !!
This is a 10 minute commercial. "You could consider this a sponsored video..." ya think?!
Can patches be assigned to the footswitches? Or are they only meant for navigating the interface?
They are for navigating the interface. It comes with a 2 switch separate expression pedal, which can be used for turning effects blocks on / off on a particular patch. When I play live, I make sure to group all of the presets I am going to use near each other, so I don't have to keep clicking through the preset list to find them. With the new firmware, you can also set up 3 scenes for each preset, and assign the tap switch on the main unit to change scenes.
I am still in love with my Roland GR-55. The Japanese somehow convert to analog, and when run through, even a small tower pa, kicks, any of these digital pedals ass. I get it of you do not have the $, it probably beats line6.
There is absolutely something to be said for the particular sound of ROLAND gear…. It has a sort of “warm” or “round” digital conversion - i fully agree those terms should make no sense when talking AD/DA & certainly not in a positive way - But indeed they seem to somehow.
Lol he released it early by accident last week
*laughs in Zoom*
I almost don’t want to like because it’s already at 69 likes
Well it’s not 30 years ago, so you’ve got other comparison’s to make.
The 300 isnt the bigger brother dude.
