I have the mg20 I think I like the 20 better
hey buddy nice video as always , question is this better than Zoom G6?
@@georgeirisarri4371 I get questions like this all the time.. and frankly I don’t write only god to answer.. both units have pros and cons.. so there’s no way for me to tell you honestly.✌️❤️

Hi, was hesitant to buy this at first you convinced me to grab this one today. Thanks. I'm so happy with this NUX MG-30
Good choice!✌❤
Finally just got my MG-30, Still play along with it, a lots of feature still working on it, I am still repeat watching your Demo, A lot of learn, Thanks JON, Good Demo
My pleasure
As always Jon, everything perfectly explained and everything in its place.
You are a great man¡¡¡¡¡
Thanks ✌️❤️
Brilliant demo of this amazing unit. I watched Pete Thorn's demo/review earlier. I am sold. Just filed my taxes...getting a healthy return. This will be my next purchase. Thanks so much!
✌️❤️
Love the demo! I think I'm going to go for this - for bedroom jamming - hopefully get to play some more!
✌️❤️
This is the best demo of a new unit I have ever seen
Thank you✌️❤️
Jon there’s really something special about this one. The intro really blew me away and every sound that came out of it was seriously impressive. Better than the Hotone Ampero to my ears especially the gains - wow
Even the drums sound decent and the layout on the unit and the software look so intuitive. I have some more saving to do.
This isn’t just a great demo it was a great introduction tutorial for anyone starting off with it. Nux should have a link to this in their site.
Thanks very much Jon 👍😀❤️🎸
Thank you for your views Tom!✌♥
Wow! You were on fire on that intro Jonathan!!!!
😝
Hi Jon, your playing is superb. My wife and I love the inspirational songs. He is The Best!
After listening to this video a couple of times and comparing it with the MG 400... I ordered the MG 30 today. Thanks for the great insights on this great unit!
Thank you.. Godbless✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Do you have a suggestion for a small practice amp(8 or 10 inch speakers) to compliment this unit? Your phrasing and melodic leads are spectacular. Marty
Thank you! Nice review. I like the versatility of the different cab selections. I might actually get one. It would be interesting to try through a couple of flat response monitors. Hope all is well.
Good choice!...yes all is well David!✌♥
That intro is insane! Never saw you play like that 🔥
Thank you ✌️❤️
Hi Jonathan, I just wanted to let you know how much I love your videos, You and I have alot in common. I live in Alabama and spent 20 years as a Nashville recoring artist. You do some great work...!!! And God has Blessed you and me too.
But I want to thank you, and let you know how much I enjoy your work.
Your BIC,
Doc Patten
Thank you so much Doc.. For your encouragement. Godbless✌️❤️
Beautiful review. Those effects are amazing. The EQ is very solid and always encourage people to use or try them on their patches. Helps some noise levels lower and also adding noise gate. Using eq to boost a bit. Im still learning more myself. Hahah.
That’s great Robert.. we must never stop learning✌️❤️
Thanks Jon, I just Place an order for this one, I am very much interested, Sound Great, Thanks for Sharing the DEMO
Hope you enjoy it!
Excellent review as always. The unit seems to be extremely good, especially for its price.
Thank you ✌♥
Thx for the link to this wonderful demo.
My pleasure!✌♥
Thanks Jonathan. I purchased this unit. Got it. Yesterday. Going to check it out this morning. Good video as usual. Thanks man. I'm stoked. It has a lot of options. Tuner and Looper too. For $300. It's worth it. Just hope it lasts. Take care. 😎👍💯🎸🎸. Note it's Sturdy metal. Not plastic. I like it 😊
Glad to help✌😀
very tasty playing as usual! thank you jon!
My pleasure!
Man, you ROOooooooooooCK ! I love your bluesy strat sound at 2'05. Thank you for the test and keep rockin' ;-)
Thank you too!✌️❤️
Really liked that soloing - very cool stuff! One of these days when the lockdowns and restrictions are a thing of the past I'm gonna find myself in Singapore again and am going to have to catch you playing live somewhere. I'd have to try hard to get my wife to come along to a concert, so maybe it'll be at church instead...
Come on over Andrew!! ✌️❤️
Got this modeler and thankfully came across JonIsJustTooLoud!!!! Outstanding player!
Thanks!
Superb playing and yes I just bought one, straight to my DAW no amp!!!!!!
cool!
To be able to get tones like this at a $300 price point?! An amazing time to be a player.
Yes it is!..✌💚
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Amen!!
This is such a good unit maybe the next unit will have a usable looper that will do verse and chorus at least.
Your playing was really amazing, as usual. I bought the MG-300 a couple of months ago and I love it. There's not enough reasons for me personally to go get the MG-30 tho at the moment having the 300. But yeah, no doubt the 30 is an awesome modeller, especially at it's price. Keep on rocking Jonathan!
Thank you brother!✌♥
❤️frm 🇮🇳 India Sir.
Im confused among Boss Gt1, Zoom G3xn, and Nux MG 30. Pls suggest the best one out of these 3. Which one has the nicest tones? Which one will b a better buy?
Pls help Sir. Thnx in advance 🙏
Awesome playing Jonathan, I wish I could shred like that!
Thank you ✌️❤️
You are amazing!! Many thanks for this awesome review!
Glad it was helpful!✌🤓
I think I want one now thanks for the great video man.
No problem 👍✌♥
Tasty jams Sir, Tasty jams :) Subscribed. Thanks for the great review and Best Regards!
Cool!! welcome to the channel!✌💙
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Finally! got my MG-30. Diggin' your Drive preset. Best Regards!
Great video, as always! Just would like to hear the acoustic guitar simulation, for a complete review. 🎸👍🏼
I’m sure there are other videos that will cover that✌️❤️
Great demo. It's insane what you get for the price of one or two pedals... Love mine for home use with my tube amp (4 cable method) or as an audio interface. It's really well-designed.
If anyone else bought this, remember to update your unit. You'll get even more amp sims and pedals (Marshall DSL100, Princeton, Blackstar, EVH, Soldano, fuzz, auto-wah...) .
Thanks for sharing
great tone and Playing as always uncle jon
Thank you✌️❤️
great video, i cant wait to get mine but i have to wait.... ill wait for you nux.
lol ✌💜
@@JonIsJustTooLoud can nux make a vocal pedel board similar to tc helicon but better and affordable? I'd buy one!!!
Wow man, I love your play...
really good play
Thank you Miguel✌️❤️
Thanks for the wealth of information. Dilemma for me. I have the NUX MG-300. It has been with me for 5 weeks, but I have not even opened the box yet. Thinking of selling it to get the MG-30. Decisions, decisions.
Try it out first before you make a decision✌️❤️
this is best guitar effect ever every sound is in this unit
✌️❤️
I’ve always bought Line 6 or Boss in the past but this really intrigues me.
go try one...✌💛
Jon is just TOO Good!
✌❤
Neat. This would be my pedal to end all pedals. And amps. Good demo, really appreciate the detailed effort.
For like $250 you get a bunch of amps and cabs that sound like real amps and cabs. And something representing most pedals out there. And a whammy/wah/volume whatever pedal. It's a pretty absurd value proposition at this level of sound quality and simulation. It even has a headphone out so it's a practice amp.
I think I want this now. Though I want a 5 or more button footswitch. Two buttons is trial sized.
get a midi control..so you can have more footswitches ✌💚
Love that 2nd guitar man! Godbless!
lol me too✌️❤️
I’m at the four. Inute mark… nice playing!
Thank you ✌️❤️
Hi John awesome !!
Hey, thanks!✌🤓

Thanks! Welcome to the channel✌️❤️
I like NUX pedals. I have their tape echo and it can’t be beat for the money. Lots of good affordable stuff from these folks but, like everything gear related, it’s subjective.
Of course it is...but they are great people to work with✌♥
I have a NUX MG-30 in the Mandarin version. Is there any way to convert it to the English version of its software/firmware? The latest Update, V4, is not compatible with the Mandarin version
Please post your question here

Nice! Tell me more about the acoustic IRs, please. I'm wondering about using my PRS piezo equipped guitar, and creating separate presets for acoustic songs, or acoustic sections in songs.
Sadly that’s the only thing I’ve not played around with🥴
Hello Jonathan, nice in depth review! I'm not familiar with this kind of gear. Is it possible with this unit to assign a preset to one footswith and another preset to another footswitch? Like putting a Marshall sound to footswitch one and a clean Fender sound to footswitch two and so on. I suppose you don't need an audio interface to connect it via USB to a computer, right?
Thanks for your answer.
1) no you cant..you will have to scroll up and down.
2) And yes ..you cant connect it to your computer direct vis USB.
Hi Jon! May I use a daisy chain in the send and return, i.e. 2 or 3 pedals? Presently, I am just using the Boss SY200, but would love to add a few more pedals.
Sure you can!
Amazing talent
Thank you✌💙
Excellent review Jon… I had been considering the 300.. but the 30 seems to be the way to go…. Can I use the included footswitch to set up 2 different patches and for example have one relatively clean and the second dirty?
Yes, absolutely✌♥
Hi Jonathan. What is "Rhythm Synchronization Drum Machine? Can you tap in fills for the drum machine? Thank you. I wish I could get a couple of guitar lessons from you. Beautiful work!
Not too sure Franco...And thank you ✌♥
Johnathan I watched your video of the Hotone Ampero. How would you compare this unit to it as far as sounds, build and usability? Thanks for any input.
Both units have it's individual strengths...hard to do a sweeping comparison ✌♥
Wooow like it, i hope i can buy soon🤗
From: Philippines
Soon I guess✌️❤️
Hi Jonathan, this is really cool! Would you say this sound "better' meaning more realistic amp sounds than the MG300?
Yea...some of the amps do sound more realistic...✌♥
Hi Jon great review
When you do the looper and drum machine test what patch do you use for it as it sounds great
Hi.. I’m sorry but I can’t remember.. The unit is not with me now. It should be one of my patches that came with the unit. You can find my 4 presets in the retail units!

Hi really cool review. Tell me have you tried the Headrush MX5? I am debating whether to get this or the Nux mg 30? Your thoughts? Thank you.
Unfortunately not✌🤓
How does this compare to the hotone ampero one in terms of amp simulation (specially the fender and marshall amps),audio depth quality of reverbs and modulation ?? Plz tell
It’s kinda hard to compare the 2 as they are quite similar in what they bring to the table.. it depends on your own individual preference.✌️❤️
Hi Jon! Thanks for this. I am getting the Nux MG 30. To connect to the computer, (I am using the Steinberg UR22C) do I just go from my NUX 2 outs to the Steinbergs 2 in and record directly to Garageband or Logic Pro?
yes!✌🤓
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thanks! That was succinct... 🙂
Hi Jonathan, may i ask, does the NUX MG30 have a bank up/down function? I've had other MFX pedals that only allow moving up/down of patches. It would be great if it has, so anyone can access to different patches between banks. Thanks!
there are no banks...just presets
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thanks for the info. Thats rather disappointing
Question. I bought a Nux mg 300 and I have a Nux Mg 30, but Quicktone doesn't open with the mg 300. what can I do?
Maybe check with the nux Mg300 website.. they might have a different software for it?
Thanks for the detailed review (as usual!). I have three questions regarding the MG30: [1] Is it possible to change amps in S2 and S3 scenes), so these are significantly different than the S1 patch? [2] Is it possible to assign NMP-2 with A and B to bank up and down and the footswitches on the pedal from left to right assigned to change patches, ie, 1A (single press), 1B (single press), 1C (single press), and 1D (double press control switch). So when I press B, then 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D are available, and so on. This would be much better for a live situation. [3] Is the assignment of the four controls per patch or global?
Sorry I can’t help you with this as I don’t have the unit with me.. you might want to post your questions to the Facebook MG 30 group..

@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thaks, I'll try that out.
Hi Jon,
Is the footswitch included in the box or do we have to purchase it separately?
Thank you.
It comes with the unit ✌️❤️
Hi jon.. If u have exp with mooer 200 n 250 or even MG400.. did u still choose this MG30?
I did not choose to use them at all.. I just review them. I use the Line6 Helix for my live work. If given a choice, I would use the NUX Trident✌️
Does it have a preset preselect feature like the zoom?
Nope...just presets
Hey man you've used both nux mg 30 and zoom g5n can you please tell me which one is a better pick on basis of sound and other things..
The MG30✌️❤️
Nice ,, so cool man 🤟🤟🤟
Thank you ✌️❤️
Greetings from Oz. Thanks for the review. How many factory presets are there? And how many User presets?
Are there available on the MG 30 the equivalent of “snapshots” on the Line6 Helix?
Francis
My pleasure..✌💚
Total of 128 presets..
No snapshots
Thanks. What about storable user patches or presets?
@@francistan2869 All 128 patch slots can be written.
Can the tuner work for a bass? I never understood if, to have a bass tuner, you can only use a bass pedal. Thanx in advance.
It should ✌️❤️
Lil confused to buy between hotone ampero or this nux mg30. Please help🙏.
Maybe wait for your new ampereo so that you will be more clear…
Hello, I want to use the mg 30 in live situations and with no amp simulators and overdrives or distortions,,,,Something like this; Guitar,,,BBpreamp, TS9, and then this mg30 using chorus, leslie, delay and reverb...You tried this? How it sounds?,,,or maybe Line6 M9 is better for this?
it will work...get the M9 if you dont want amp and cab sims✌❤
Love your channel! This or the Zoom g6? Cheers bro!
Two different units.. you Have to decide yourself✌️❤️
Alright Jon it's a pretty cool device.... Question can you have more than one delay and reverbs or only one at a time? How did you feel about the sounds vs the line 6 stuff?
Only one at a time.. the sounds are pretty good but you can’t really compare with the dsp power that the Helix process. But with the implementation of IRs , you can come pretty close✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud yeah sorry I guess what I should had said does this sound as good as a pod go is what I should had said 😂... Just wondering if the amp modeling is close or as good cause I want simple and this might be it for me.
Hello Sir... Can you suggest me one processor for live gig between nux mg30 and zoom g3xn
You have to decide yourself✌️
I have a question. Is it right that the Nux Mg 300 sounds different than the mg 30 and the mg 400? I was mesmorized by the sound of the mg 300 and am confused if the mg 400 and mg 30 have the same sound.
They have different functions.. different effects..& limitations…
Hey Jon, what are the main differences between the MG-30 and the Pod Go?
size...for one thing..Line 6 has been around for a long while
Do a google search between these 2 units✌🤓
Is this meant for the floor or a table mount? I see buttons that look like they are intended as a foot switch, but then why have a display with other controls that require hands and bending down frequently? What am I missing? The unit seems to be on a table for all demos, yet is it a floor unit? Thanks for the video. 😉
Yes it is a floor unit✌️❤️
Please someone tell nux mg 30 or zoom g5n
Hey Jon..which one would you prefer Line 6 Pod-go or NUX MG-30???
The Podgo ✌️❤️
Does it have MIDI via USB to switch presets with a MIDI switcher?
Yes it does.. you will need to get the converter though ✌️❤️
Hey Jonathon, awesome playing and fantastic review. I saw your review on the Ampero as well and had a question regarding the looping features since I am a bit torn between the two. On the Ampero, you mentioned that looping could be a challenge with the drums because of the start and end points - you have to nail them. I have to assume then that the start point of the loop does not sync automatically to the first downbeat of the drums (like it would for instance in the old line 6 spider amps). Is the looping feature on the Nux more forgiving (does it sync with the drums) or are you still prone to human timing to get the start and end points correct?
yes..the NUX is more forgiving..although i'm not really sure if Ampero has rectified the issue ye✌🤓
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thanks for the reply Jonathon, I really appreciate your channel and the info you provide. For use strictly as a practice tool (decent tones, looper, and drums to play along with) which of the two (Ampero, or NUX Mg 30) would you prefer for that? I realize they both have different strengths, but as a simple piece of kit to plug into and pull up some drums to practice to, or loop a rhythm guitar to play along wit - would you recommend one over the other?
@@emersonward6996 if you have a current pedalboard, you will be better off getting a dedicated looper
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I am basically looking for a standalone solution to practice with in hotel rooms, something small with drums patterns and looping capability.
@@emersonward6996 well the Mg30 with definitely work for you✌️❤️
I am not too keen on pressing two footswitches together, you have to do that side foot thing and if you get it wrong it messes up the patch you are on, saying that, it isn't very often I use the looper when playing live
I totally understand.. and like you, I don’t really use the looper✌️❤️
How much better are the sounds and the UI on the MG-30 as opposed to the MG-300?
It does sound and feel better.. and the UI is surely an improvement✌️❤️
Thanks 😁
you're most welcome!
maybe it's to late to ask, but, is there any gap when you switch from one patch to patch on MG30?.. It's importan to me when playing live on stage.. thx, Jon.. 🤘
I forgot.. the unit is not with me for quite a time✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud oowh.. OK.. thanks.. 😉🤘🏾
Hi Jonathan this NUX MG30 can be used for live gigs?
Yes it can.. depending on what you need ✌️❤️
Does the looper have a countdown feature? , cheers.
Don’t think so , well at least not with the drums✌️❤️
Can't complain especially for the price - just the looper and drum machine is worth it! But damn is it bright! Like an ice pick!
Thats because of the guitar...you can alway use the EQ✌♥
@@JonIsJustTooLoud yeah I tried that, different amps too. If you cut the highs too much then it gets muffled. In comparison, the MG-300 sounds much warmer. So I know it’s not my guitars. Hopefully they can address this ice pick brightness in next firmware update. Otherwise this will be really good for playing Albert Collins!
hello sometimes i use nux mg 30 as interface using amplitube 5 but after some time the timbre sound of amplitube disappears only nux i have to restart nux so that everything goes back to normal. any tips with other interfaces everything works normally i use imac monterey sorry my english
I don’t really get what you meant by timbre .. what not just use the MG30 ?✌️❤️

great video but just one doubt.. if I want to play only trough headphones . is it necessary to connect the MG30 into an amp or PC?? or can play just trough the headphones without connecting the MG30 into amp or PC?? I'll appreciate someone reply me ..t-you=)
You can connect directly ✌️❤️
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thanks a lor for ur help , a new suscriber here
Hi Jonathan, I'm a beginner for Electric Guitar - will this be good for me?
Yes✌️❤️
How are you running that? Are you running it through an amp or are you using Studio output?
direct to my interface ✌❤
Once again you don't disappoint with your reviews. Where you able to find out can you save your loops that you've created on the 300, as well as on this mg 30? This will be a deal breaker for me. Im really liking the MG 30. Thanks in advance. 😉
Not that I know of✌♥
Very good review, I have a question, the MG 30 comes with a dual footswitch, if instead of that I use a footswitch with more buttons? to use the NUX in stompbox mode or would the NUX not recognize more than 2 footswitches? My decision to buy it depends a lot on this
Thank you in advance!
I'm afraid not as far as I know...There is a possibility to use midi footswitches via the USB port..but I have not been successful with it yet.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Thank you very much for your quick reply!! I had also thought about using the Digitech FS 3X, because it has 3 switches, last question, using the footswitch of the NUX plus the 3 buttons that the NUX has, could I use these 5 as independent pedals?
Thank you very much for your patience!

@@confuxio2 take a look at zoom g3x, g5, g3xn, g5n... Get a used one g3x or g5 if possible, cause the older version got xlr output which was a big plus.
