Hey Pete !! Thanks for showing one of my presets for the Nux MG-30 (A. Barrero) Big honor. Killer demo, as always. Greetings from Spain. Alberto.
Hi Alberto! Yes I liked your presets quite a bit! Very useful. Nice to meet you, at least here in the comment section! 😊 Hopefully someday in person
Ha.. The two of you already cost me a fortune... ;)

Love your channel, man!
And just like that the NUX mg30 became successful.
They are quietly becoming the next big name in affordable FX
@@music440 I presently have nux mfx10. How do I maximize the usage. I'm not pro guitarist, and not even effects expert. I just select whatever sounds good to me,.
But I was able to try mg20 nux, I fell in love withit bcoz it can work like a manual footswitch if you are no geek with settings. But now they phase it out. 😔
@@aphrodence02 there isn't anything wrong with just using presets. Rock on
@@music440 Yep. Almost half my jam/practice board is NUX and I have one of theirs on my "serious" board (the Atlantic).
This is a great overall demonstration of how to dial in great guitar sounds. Thanks, Pete!
Pete is a big inspiration to all of us guitar players!!! Cheers from a friend and fan in Brazil! 🎸🇧🇷🤘👍
Pete... this was an amazing demo on all levels, audio great, composition great, video great, solo fantastic. It was also kind of a product tutorial on top of it. 18 minutes just packed with great info. Ancillary, it's been really fun watching your bass playing, compositions, and soloing progress over the years. To the point of the product, what you can get out of that $300 is just ridiculous value. Kudos!!!
I have so much fun playing bass! Thanks for noticing that
I think it's amazing just how much power and control over sound has become available to musicians in the last few years. Heck, even just the last six or so months have seen some really powerful, attainable pedals and products come out that provide insane amounts of tonal variation and manipulation with high quality results. NU-X has been stepping up their gain and knocking some out of the park.
Great video as always Pete 👍 Really nice demo of this unit , it seems like a great piece of gear for the price. I must add the help of your vast knowledge and experience with your tasteful tweaking of the presets really expand the unit. Your knowledge is always greatly appreciated Pete and sincere thanks for sharing it with us.✌
Thanks Pete, some really useful information in here. Kind of like an amps in the zone episode but for a budget piece of gear. I found the video really helped me to get some better tones out of the gear I have already which is not what you probably intended but was really helpful all the same. Thankyou.
Thanks again Pete for creating an awesome demo song for another piece of kit that I am looking forward to trying. The reality is that you could make a biscuit tin with wires n string sound great but going a little further into the unit was very helpful. Rock on
Yeah, sounded darn good. Thank you for demonstrating bass and guitar sounds.
Great job as always, Pete. Look forward to more of this series!
Just picked up an MG30 after watching this video a few months ago. So far, I'm impressed. Thanks for demoing some of the budget gear!
This sounds pretty good! It really is awesome how far modeling has come. For $300 20 years ago you had stuff like the Boss ME-50 and that sounded nowhere near as good as this.
So well put.. so much you can do with gear these days! Truly a Golden Age for music and recording! 😎🎸🤘❤️🐦
It's been years since I watched your Ibanez tube screamer video. Glad your still out here doing demos!
Pete, man I've been looking for a guitar player like you that just knows what he likes and how to get it and your composition is unique and inspiring. Awesome Man!
Love the sounds you’re getting from this Pete!
Finally a video that spoke of its inbuilt volume/exp pedal. Thanks!
Very cool gear. Yes I am glad to see you review gear that is more real world prices. It’s one thing to buy stuff when it’s your living and another when you’re a weekend warrior.
That was a great video.
Couldn’t agree more with reference to the use and exploration of i.rs
🎸
Awesome unit , very well demonstrated here ... in the right hands ! Great tune . Top notch stuff bro . I have its little brother the MG300 ... very happening unit as well .
Your videos always very informative and genuine. Thanks
Great demo, thanks. This is very interesting for you to review budget gear. Especially, since you are very familiar of the high-end gear.
I've been a fan of amp modeling pedals for years, Zoom, Vox, Line 6, DOD. I like the hybrid approach where I plug them into the effects return of my tube amp's, best of both worlds. The new stuff coming out now is so good. I'm looking to get a HeadRush MX5 next for the touchscreen 😊
Pete with the chewy jammy jams on Friday. Killer playing as always, man!!
Thanks!
Soar like an eagle! :D
big thumbs up for what you pulled out of that, not to mention beautiful playing!!
And I like that company! They took presets from you and from Leo Gibson also - I love that they do that .. (got a pre-order on Amazon for it ^^)
Great video. Seriously looking into getting this. Great playing as always Pete.
Thanks Pete for some budget friendly gear. Will definitely check this out. Peace!
I have the Nux MG300, although it's not breaking new ground,it's still very usable,and very fun to mess with.great review Pete👍
Affordable Modelers are getting good! I use Mooer GE200 which cost me around $275. This $299 option sounds great too!
Man, the frets on that red suhr strat (or classic s?) look amazing. I remember what it was like doing effortless bends on nice freshly polished frets years ago. Now I’m gonna start polishing (or repolishing) all the frets on all my guitars. That’ll be this week’s project.
Oh NUX!
Pete you have all those real amps and cabs to keep you warm. 😀
Best regards Doc
What a fantastic tone! Seems to be great value for money.
Holy moly Pete that solo you played was amazing.
Thanks! I was happy with it too!
Nice video, I like your presentations they're easy to watch and informative. I have a GT-1 Boss and Amplitube 5 and between those two I manage to get useable guitar sounds, they're not like real amps but they serve the songs and my music is guitar centric. You have to work at it a bit and roll your own but it pays off.
Speaking of how easy it is these days to change your sound. In 1982 at 16yrs old and spent $100 on a pick up that I didn't like once I installed it. That was a bunch of cash for me and now days you just point and click and if you don't like you move on. Got my NuX mg30 on pre order so I'm geeked for it. Thank Pete great video.
Great tones Pete, you’re sure getting a lot for ya money with this device.
I really liked the bass tone you had on this! A bass that sounded like a bass. No distortion to fight with the guitars!
that's a good thing! I liked it too!
Great timing - I was literally just thinking I wonder if he has demo'd this yet. And here we are
It's kind of freaky that this video would come out today, as I just finished watching your Cerberus video from a few years ago. :)
These displays today are really making these pedal processors easier to manipulate. Not to mention the tech today has come a long way. The chips are incredibly powerful! My old boss Gt1 and valhalla are my main components on my channel. I've a long way to go yet, this journey is the best! Thanks for a great detailed video man!!
Currently using a GT1 as well and while it's fine,t it just sounds a bit too muddy for me and I never got THAT sound I'm searching for, so I can't wait for Thomann to finally send my my MG30. :D
Realy cool to ear budget gear in your hands !! Realy really cool !
It s a bit more realistic for many of us who can't afford boutique gear ! Thank you so much!
Best regards from France !
🤘😘
Glad you dug it!
I am quite certain Pete could make a tissue box guitar rock! As always great info and great playing
Thanks!
True.
was going to say "you could make a potato sound good".
The vintage tissue boxes have the best tone!
@@Scott__C '59 Kleenex 'burst... like magic!
I absolutely love that red suhr strat with the red pick guard and white pickups. What a beautiful guitar.
nice locking tuners too!
You the King of gear review ----good stuff Pete. Thank you
You're right about how easy it is to change IRs and what a big impact they have
This seems to be NU-X's answer to the Mooer GE200, which I own. They look almost the same and seem to have the same features including 3rd party IR loading. That's not necessarily a bad thing as I quite like the Mooer and this unit sounded as good to my ears. One thing this has going for it above the GE200 is the GUI. Great demo, Pete.
That Ibanez always has a "chunk" that your other guitars do not have, killer tone!
Nice vid. Great player. I love my mg 30 and had a MG 20 in the past.
Awesome review, Pete! Thank you 😊
Pete I feel like you are the only old school rock guitarist left carrying this legacy. I'm fed up of that djent style 'something'. It's always pleasant to listen to you.
Hey thanks! :) Phil X for sure, doing it old school… Philip Sayce...
Great review Pete, as always - and NUX gear def. punches above its weight.
Nice video. Great playing. Two rhythm guitar, to me, sounds very thight. I listened using monitors. But the MG30 is cool
Pete seems to effortlessly come up with full fledged songs where most guitar channels would just post a jam. I'm always floored by the richness of this dude's creativity!
Thank you so much! I really have fun writing/producing
@@PeteThorn I second this remark from Ciro! Must be stop awesome to have this much command over your instrument. I can only dream...
What impressed me the most is how Pete easily relates all these simulations to actual gear. Massively showing that his knowledge as an end user/professional is way way deeper than we all think.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Pete!

hey Pete....I wish you would do a vid showing in depth how you make your videos. Gear, software, cameras, syncing audio with your clips and so forth. Very interested in your work flow now that you seem to have streamlined a system that works for you after all this time.
Pete can make anything sound good. It's him that's good!
I would love to see you play through an ADA MP1. I love my MP1. It was the modeler of its day!
A.Barrero is a spanish guitar player and youtuber. I was subscribed on his channel
Thanks for this. Great showcase.
Watching a tone monster like yourself showing how you got those tones out of a $300 unit is priceless to me! I have a Digitech 360XP I can not get a tone out of to save my life, I hope you try out this older unit some day in the near future!
As for cab sims, I have a Crate GFX-1200 that sounded like pure cow pucks before I started trying friends cabs......crate AMPS don't sound that bad, but their CABS do! That is what makes folks dislike the Crate line IMHO.....
I had a crate head and cab back in the day. I let a buddy borrow it and he pawned it right before he left town. 😡😡
Golden age of gear for sure, especially acoustic guitars... it’s unbelievable what you can buy....
You didn't use much processing after the unit, but, that would be interesting as well, a little pro processing.
I have mg300 and with selected IR's and some eq tweaking sounds great both connected to my Marshall Tsl or into DAW. Mg30 needs more work to get great sounds in my opinion but It's amaizing for this price. Thank You Pete for great presentation
I've got both. The mg 300 sounds better.
@@IbizaRose But why? How so?? Do tell.
It would be interesting to see a video of the guitar and effect plugged straight into amp only nothing else great opening as always
Good to see you testing less expensive gear, there's a lot of us can't afford the high end gear. Please demo a Blackstar HT Stage 100 amp :)
Blackstars are amazing especially for the price point.
Amazing video！Learn too much！Your playing is awesome！
These days, there are so many options for good to great sounding gear at really any price range.
Your intro's are always spot on Pete, and this one is no exception... great bass part too !! :-)
Awesome 👌 video Pete !
I'm 48 getting back into gear stuff lol , any suggestion of something recent that resembles the yamahaspx 90 or the gop50 ?
Keep up the great work
Thanks Pete! Would like to see the MG 30 VS HX Stomp, amp models and feel!
great demo on affordable gear Mr Thorn thanks
$450AUD for something that can hang with an HX Stomp?
I'm in - thanks for these tips, Pete. I'll be using em!
Still gonna use my own compressor, boost (I'm married to them), Fuzz - and the mighty Deco will either go in the loop or at the output.
It seems like this contains/models a lot of their Verdugo series pedals. The Solid Studio, Masamune, DuoTime, Atlantic - I think they are all in there.
Man your riffs are like way long..love that.
Hey awesome as always could you review the spark positive grid smart amp got one would like your opinion thanks man love you channel
Imagine it - for virtually no money you can sound like that!! Job done.
Fantastic playing, tasty musicality, great review! I am waiting my Mg30 today, to swap my Pod hd500x for that. Its nice, nice, but huuuuuge...
Whoa... His intros always make me grab my guitar 🙌
That’s my hope! Thanks man
The magic is always in the fingers.
*Besides the fantastic guitar playing, I always look forward to Pete’s new hairstyle every few months....*
Great tones and song
Pete you could plug into a toaster and sound awesome ! This is a very cool unit for the price and very easy to tweak .
Who else came to hear Pete and wound up ordering this thing? Fingers crossed that it's going to be a good solution for duo/sub gigs with tricky load-ins and for "silent stage" gigs.
Hey Pete, nice review!
A question though: If you change an IR for one of yours, will you be able to move the mics setup, or does each position need its own IR?
I saw one in the Wish catalogue. The Ratt shirt I ordered came in one piece, so maybe I will order one of these.
Thanks for the video. This is useful.
Thank You Pete 👍🏻
At the end of the day, it’s realistic amp tone and feel! I recently sold my HX Stomp because I thought the MG 300 sounded better in my headphones and is much more user-friendly! I’ll probably end up getting the MG 30 as well, unless there’s something else out there in this price range that sounds better.
A few have said that they think the algorithms are better than the HX Stomp. It's kinda amazing, but I'm inclined to believe it
Ended up getting a Pod Go, since I have the MG 300. I am digging it..
I've got both. The mg 300 sounds better.
Wow. I guess I'm getting the MG 30
does it really FEEL good? like playing through an amp or close?
The Swiss Army knife of guitarists :) Love the video; have you tried running an acoustic through the MG-30, and if so how did you like it?
Incredible! I honestly can't believe how good the "budget" stuff is starting to get these days! We're definitely in an affordable gear "Golden Age". Just wow!
I had the NUX 300 and I can tell you it was a toy.
@@Neil-Aspinall Good for you. Pretty sure NOBODY was talking about the NUX 300 tho.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@EasyHeat I know but they are related possessor wise you wreckin?
@@Neil-Aspinall I’m really not sure. I only use digital fx after a real preamp. Had a fractal for a hot minute. Didn’t really gel with it. All digital amp feel weird to be. I’m all about boosting an analog pre. Recently went with a Victory V4. Outstanding piece of gear IMO.
The 06B is the setup by Alberto Barrero, a great player.
Sounds like you can do anything!!!
Nice unit. Be a darn good 'takin to a jam nite' tool.
The problems I had with NUX pedals was one by one they stopped working. I had 2 nux orange delay pedals and a blue mod pedal that all stopped working within a year of purchase so I haven't touched Nux products since.
I can't believe how amazing that intro sounded
Thanks!
Nice song composition at the start
Great video showcasing some more affordable gear.... BUT..... Pete, you’ve stressed me out for the rest of the day ( it’s 7.30 am here).
Spotted the Kemper balanced on top of that speaker and worried it’s only a matter of time before it hits the floor 😱😱😱😱
It’s been up there for 2 years 😂
Pete..That axe is a beauty!!!!
You got that thing to sound great!!!!
Unfair, trick question of the year - OF COURSE! Pete Thorn could make a kazoo and a digeridoo sound frickin' good... XD And such a valuable point to remind everyone, especially those that like to whine about tweaking modelers. Tweaking has ALWAS been the case in guitar tone safaris. But the fact is tweaking these days on modelers is objectively far, far easier. People just forget and take things for granted. Memory is faulty and we humans tend to only remember the good times clearly.
I was going to post something similar, but you said it much better. Well put.
im not whining about anything . i was born with out talent , then i had an accident and i am missing fingertops on my fret hand . that being said i own a mg300 which is the cheaper little brother of the 30 , andi will say it sounds REALLY good . mind you i make my own patches . here is the point - yes tone is fingur , we must play , but we also need gear . digital is not a dirty word . yes tubes and analog are great . lets just not get judgemental . like say the next guy doesnt play thru your tube amp, maybe he even lives in a apartment , does that make him less ? lets be nice , not trip out on gear so much and here is one - make music . sorry . i dont dress like a pirate , i dont have a massive quaker beard and wear pilgrum hat . my guitar has 6 strings and i tune to a440, i really let everyone down ... didnt i . i dont even lie to my wife when i purchase gear . she plays bass with me , and picks the parts when we build pedals so yeah loads to hate on . ducks .
What guitar model is that Destroyer look alike guitar! I can't tell by the name on the headstock. Great video, like always.
