Another vote more MIDI implantation tips. I would love to have my Cerberus trigger patch changes. I have a USB/MIDI host, but haven't been able to get the two NUX devices to work with each other.
Oh I see they said its a preset image capture not the entire pedal capture, Ok thought it can do that , But I dont care I am a hobby guy and will do the fiddling.
Hi, I know it was a year ago... :) But one should add that the scenes have separate impulse responses and these can significantly change the character of the amp. For me it's enough to classify Amp Academy as something comparable to "a floor", even though a tiny one. 😉
@@pochron1105 Its too much pedal but it's hard to learn to use it. It's like learning to play the pedal board is different from Learning guitar. I have kept sticky scenes and have 2 amps one fender channel A 1st amp and 2nd the British blues on channel 2 . It's great for me as I did not have A compressor pedal nor a reverb. So I get those 2 from the signal chain of amp academy.
Hey Scott, There was a second firmware update AFTER the Pro Scenes one that fixed the SAVE / LOAD bug that could cause you to not be able to load an individual amp back in once you save it. Further, when you try to load it back in, it nerfs that amp's settings back to factory, rather than just not loading successfully. That secondary firmware update is a must.
I just got this thing, I wanted it for tight space home recording, mostly distortion simulations. I've been finding it doesn't seem to save exactly as I set it up. Not that intuitive to use either. I got like 4 days to decide if I want to return it. Vids like this help, at the very least it looks like I can get great individual sounds out of it. It does record clean. I'm definitely not a good producer yet but I get better every time I work on something.
@ThePedalGuy I tried after watching your vid and it seemed to work better. I need to use the software more. It's really helpful. Thanks for the response sir
Hi! Why does the Software V2 not work on my window pc? Are there more outside with this issues? I have download int and I can't open or close effects and change the values? And after a while I get a message, that Amp Academy 2 is not working/have a problem and they search for a solution!? In V1, I can't change the values for the effects, amps per scene! :-( I hope, anyone could help me!
@@ThePedalGuy Hi my der! 😉 Thanks for the answer, but I did all that and it also don't help. I make it on several devices like PC and Laptop and it doesn't works on both!? Always the same issue...!? And on the Laptop there was no other version before!?
Too bad that it is not possible to copy one scene to another scene, even in the same amp. That means if you have a good setup for scene 1, and you just want to set it without reverb on scene 2, you are obliged to re-set all tunings one by one for scene 2. I did not find any copy/paste feature ... :( .. And the export feature exports ALL scenes, so here also it is impossible to export only scene 1 to import it as scene 2.. If you find a tip ... ;)
I just read that MIDI is implemented through the USB-C port. Do you know how it works, as I would like to control the Amp Academy channel switching though my NuX Cerberus (and a NuX PSM2 if needed) ?
@@ThePedalGuy it seems I can do it with the USB-C port and a USB/MIDI hub. I've just got mine and patched it to firmware v2. Is it a normal thing to have very little gain/distorsion on Channel B amps without any boost ? I've already played most of the emulated amps and almost never had to crank the gain past 4 on a Dual Rectifier or a VH4.
I noticed that the original write up for the amp algorithms says 2k White Box this and that, meanwhile the Soldano and Dual Rectifier copy says 4K - is this new technology being used and will it be extended to the rest of the amp lineup? We discussed this in a live chat before: Hopefully this nudges NUX to give us the MG-30 amp modelling but in 4K of the '65 Deluxe Reverb and AC30 Top Boost to go up against the UAFX pedals recently released :D
It can be done, but it requires a MIDI host to do it. This livestream will show you how it's done with the MG-30 czcams.com/video/q2Aj4QBis4c/video.html
@@ThePedalGuy Thanks for the link. I'll watch the live. I was afraid because in AA midi editor I haven't seen any midi "toggle on/off" in the command list. I saw only commands to change FX and Reverb types. E.G. EFX - CC2 - values 1-9 (the nine types of FX, but no "turn on" or "turn off FX").
Thanks for the video! One question if you could give your opinion... I am building an amp-less pedalboard, and have been looking for the best amp/cab/power amp replacement for a while. I am now pretty much decided on the Simplifier DLX, which is around 400 euros. Not too cheap, but it seems the best choice in that price range. However, I don't need all the features it offers, I would be perfectly happy with one pedal that has a nice sound, even if it is just one "amp" simulation. I am not sure how NUX compares in sound quality/emulation with Simplifier. Simplifier is all analog, which is a plus I guess. However, NUX seems to sound very good...and for a 50% less price. Huh, not sure what to get anymore
@@ThePedalGuy absolutely. But there's nothing mentioned about what kind of cable is needed. So would it be as simple as a usb c to midi converter cable, or would I need a midi port?
Love my AA but I didn't know (and not a singe review specifically points this out) is the compressor and drive pedals are in the same EFX block, so you cant have both.
@@ESP77769 Well, to be fair Paul, it's called the Amp Academy, not the "every pedal under the sun Academy". It should be treated like an amp. Hence, integrate the Amp Academy into your board in place of an amp while using your other pedals.
Love these firmware update videos. Where do you get the info about whats in the updates? NUX's website has the updates but no documentation. It's not in the download either.
There are two places where you can get this info. One is from the Verdugo FB Group. The other is when you begin the update process. We'll normally post the updates in the updater file that you can read while updating the pedal.
Thanks for this. SO on the fence on this product! Some people make it sound good, others make it sound terrible. The metal sounds you have are flubby and bad, do you think a low cut would help? Not that it matters to me, my heavy sound is always a Friedman. I just can't pull the trigger. This would downsize my direct board so much but, hmmmm....
@@ThePedalGuy no problem! Like I mention, eh, metal sounds are not something I'd look for, I'm more in the clean/boost/overdrive area. Do you have a demo of that?
Just taken delivery of an NGS6. Manual implies it is just plugged in and links to PC, DAW and Editor app. It doesn't ! None of those recognised the unit. Tried updating drivers but that didn't help. Took me half a day any several emails to the supplier and NUX before finding out that I had to ignore the message on the software updater that says the NGS6 could not be detected before updating the firmware. Why do I have to do that anyway? Surely the supplier - Artist - and/or NUX should ship a turnkey product. It's not for Customers to make things work! After updating and trying many combinations within the editor found that NO combination was to my liking. The only good thing about the NGS6 is that it is a nice clear i/f into my Reaper DAW. Otherwise I don't like it at all!

If scenes can save amp model too, it would be perfect as pedal platform and even challenge multi effect units.
