This video convinced me and It didn't disappoint. Since the basic presets weren't to my taste, I started creating my own right away. Turned out great. You can really tweak it. I went for gritty amp settings(that I could neither afford nor need practising at home). The cab sims are great. Also every possible basic pedal effect is here, makes life easier for me to experiment. Recording function adds extra practicality along with the audio interface function. What could I possibly need more. My ears certainly don't hear the difference of a digital vs analog rat pedal for example. Or even amp. Cheers!
interesting fact - these devices are made to be run thru a full range speaker . playing it thru something like a flatish studio monitor - DESPITE the manufactures putting combo front stack rear options - will enable the listener to actually HEAR the device , rather than hearing your amp . thanks for the demo it was helpful for a few questions i had like you listed all the output options but to be honest i would have been more impressed if you would have plugged it into your computer speakers . but what do i know ... mate .
Picked one up about a month ago and it's amazing how good this thing sounds. In a blind test I bet many of its models would beat out the Line6 Helix, just crazy good for $150. I'd record with the NUX MG-300
I've looked at ge150/200 and black truck, valeton, g3xn and g1x four, ampero, gt-1, 5, 8 - but I finally decided on the nux mg300. Hope it comes close to expectations.
Oh man that’s a good question! Best thing to do is list what you need and compare them all, I can unfortunately only speak for the MG300 as I haven’t tried the others, but I’d recommend the MG300 as it does so much and sounds so good, sorry I couldn’t help further, cheers!
Big thumbs up Derek, best review yet. It my be time to trade in the old GT-8 methinks, I really like the UI on this unit, it looks like almost drag 'n drop level technology which suits an old fart like me.
haha thanks Gareth! it's my first experience with IR's and it's really straight forward, and i'm more of a hardware and tube amp guy, but i get this and am warming to this tech :)
Thank you! you can certainly run it in front of an amp, there is a global setting to change from direct to combo amp front, or combo amp rear as well as stack front and stack rear then adjust the tone to remove all effects if required, cheers
Cheers, Derek, that is impressive. Just having the visual layout in front of you is a huge advantage over other units I have had or have seen. I'm assuming that this could go right to a mixer board if necessary, right?
Yes it could! When I first received it I though oh this is good, a multi effects unit, but when I got into it I was sort of overwhelmed at what it could do, I’m sure it does a lot more than I give it credit for, and to be honest it’s pretty straightforward as I don’t like over complicated units like this, cheers Brad!
Hmmmm I’m not sure at the moment, it was only released this morning, I’d hate to guess, but I suppose one could look at retail of the MG-200? Cheers Brad
What an excellent in-depth review! This is my first time to your Channel, and I'm impressed. I'm stunned by how good the unit sounds. Do you know the sample and bit rates? Thanks
Thanks! I really appreciate that!! It does sound really good! I’ve had it for 3 weeks playing with it and love it more every time I use it, the sample and bit rates are 512 sample resolution at 24 bit, it used the NUX TSAC-HD technology for modelling and the emulation is incredibly good, very tube like, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar I found some interesting information in the User Manual. "CAUTION Please use the 9V Negative tip power adapter (included the box) to run MG-300. The instrument jack should be plugged to input to power ON the pedal. When you stop playing, please plug out the input cable and the power cable. Also removing all the connected cables could help to last your cables longer." This seems kind of extreme to me. Is that what you're doing? Have you tried recording from it direct to computer? Specifications - Sampling Frequency: 48KHz, A/D Converter: 32bit, Frequency Response: 20Hz-20000Hz +1db, THD+N:
Picksalot oh wow, I didn’t think to look in the manual, good information, to be honest I don’t do that I just use it like a regular effects unit and have unplugged things in any old order and haven’t experienced any problems, maybe it’s in there as a precautionary measure? I’m not sure, I use the power adapter than cane with it but have used another as well as it was more convenient
Really good review. I'm looking foward to get one myself because it's a steal tbh. Can you record directly from an audio interface? Read a few things that is a good deal for people with home studios.
@@DerekPaulGuitar Thanks for answering. Maybe you got my question wrong hahaha I was wondering if this pedal is a good choice as a guitar pre amp hooking it up directly to my audio interface.
Just had a chance to catch up on your latest vids. So I take it with this unit you can throw your pedal board in the bin and plug this in with your presets or available presets and never look back? Amazing the technology it has. I wonder how pricey it will be? I am kidding about tossing the pedal boards of course. Cheers man!!
Haha thanks man! As I understand it it’s not going to cost the earth, correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve heard around $150, it’s a decent unit after using it for a bit, cheers man!
DP - I have been deliberating for too long now on 2 options and I trust your opinion 1. Fender GTX 100 Modelling amp (built in looper c/w pedal) 2. NUX MG300 and Fender Champion100/Boss Katana 100 Any thoughts would be appreciated
Hmmm I’ve tried the GTX, NUX and Katana, what do you play? High gain stuff or more clean stuff and clean with a touch of dirt? For the clean stuff I’d recommend the NUX if it’s high gain then you can’t go wrong with either, it’s just that the NUX has a fantastic modelling circuit and a gorgeous matchless amp sound, check out Steve guitar on UA-cam, he predominantly uses the GTX, my Nephew has the Boss Katana and I don’t personally like it, I have the Fender Super Champ X2 which I would highly recommend but may not be in your budget, hope that helped :)
@@DerekPaulGuitar Hey DP thanks for replying. It would be mostly cleanish stuff - I'm not a shredder - just getting into solo improv. I've wanted a looper for ages but most AMPS with FX loop are expensive and my budget is limited. I can't afford to keep experimenting!
There is certainly a Princeton amp in there and definitely more than one country type settings to get that snap and twang sound of a tele, and thanks for the kind words!
Hello nice Videos i subd;). Torn between 2 multieffect units One Question: What about nux mg300 compare to the boss gt1??? Tone wise and quality of the effects? A good Rectifier would be nice!
Thanks for the support! :) I haven’t tried the Boss GT1 but it does look interesting!! There are a few good priced multi effects units out there at the moment as well
Have you tested the Valeton Gp-100? The two units are very very similar but the Valeton looks like more complete in all ways but I didin't listen to it. The Nux MG-300 sounds really good and the software is better but I would like to know what differences we can find in them. Thanks a lot.
Hi, unfortunately I haven’t tested it, this is the only multi effects with cab IRs I’ve used, there are a few videos on the Valenton I noticed, hopefully one of those helps you out, cheers!
Thanks man! I appreciate that, oooh I’m not sure how many external IR’a can be loaded I’ll try and find out, and you can only change the amp and the cab (separately if you want) but you can’t change the amps power amp, is that what you meant? Cheers
The foot switches do not seem to control tap tempo, or bank selection. Can the software control all the functions that are push buttons on the unit? That way you can have the unit on the floor to control looper/drums/expression while tweaking the tone and the unit's push button functions via software?
Hi Theo, I used the push buttons in the video to select banks but the foot switch will also select the banks up and down as well like a regular multi effects, and yes you can have the foot switch on the floor and software open on the laptop or Mac at the same time and one will counteract the other, so if you changed tone or amp or bank on the foot switch it would change in the software and vice versa, is that what you meant? Thanks
@@DerekPaulGuitar Yes. I assume all the control features on the unit can be edited in the software like the gain and level. The Tap tempo does not seem to be available on the foot switches is that available in the software?
As other manufacturers, hummmmmmm and buzzzzz are there when playing high gain amps . That makes no sense to simulate this ; the noise gate erases the noise, but erases the feeling and the response too.
How would you suggest simulating an accurate amp sound without noise? The noise is not technically originating in the amp, it's not a feature of the amp - it's coming from your guitar and gear in front of the amp. The amp is just that - an amplifier. It's amplifying what's on the input. If it's a high gain amp, it's amplifying it a lot, hence a lot of noise. It doesn't know if it's noise or tone. If you make it so it doesn't amplify noise, you either basically put a permanent noise gate in the circuit (which you don't seem to want), or you'll change the tone of the amp.
Hi there First i want to say thanks a lot for your tutorial..was very easy to understand.. But im really im interested to know wich cable i need to conect with my MacBook pro? If you can post brand..?
Hi, thanks for the kind words! The cable I used was just my ring doorbell cable Replacement Fast Charging Charger Cable Power Cord Wire Compatible for Ring Enabled Video Doorbell (2020 Release) 2/3/3 Plus/4, Doorbell Pro/Plus and Camera Battery Charging Cable (3.3ft Orange) a.co/d/8ZD9N4k
Also waiting for an answer, as I'm thinking about buying this as a gigging backup to my tube amp rig. Does anyone know? Of the dozen or so demo videos I've watched, I've not found one (unedited) where the guitarist cycles through presets with the two Up/Down footswitches in real time. That would be VERY helpful.
My QuickTime didn’t fill the screen either, I edited it to block out my screen icons, and there wasn’t acoustic tones on the first version, maybe there is if you update the firmware?
You can not turn off the amp simulation, but you can disable the cabinet simulation... So the answer to "can I just use it for effects in an effects loop or in front of an amp" is no. Also I believe it's Stereo only output. I don't see a way to make the unit output Mono in settings, most amp effects loop or front-in 1/4" jack is going to be mono input. The unit really makes use of Stereo output so you're really loosing something... My hope is that NUX will make a unit that solves these problems, because the effects are really damn good.
Hi Johann I’m not entirely sure to be honest, it’s possible to change patch certainly, but I’m not sure if you do it using the foot switch as they are used at that time for the looper functions
@@DerekPaulGuitar Update as I just received my own MG300. Is there any reason why no matter what I do it sounds thin with no body and brittle? (yes cab IR is on)
Hello, how do you save a preset in another bank or program different from the one where it was created? These things are basic and important and you don't explain them anywhere or in a manual or anything. Thanks
Use the edit/save button to start modifying a preset. If you're done, press save button. Then you get to change the name of the preset and then press save again. Then it is done.
@@markmarkmark488 Ok, good!, thanks for answering, but this answer does not correspond to the question I have asked. Please, first read the question well (it is very simple and well written), and secondly answer (if you want), but answer something that answers the question well, (not something that by the way we all already know). I tell you all this so that you please try not to waste time and make nervous those who confidently lend you their attention. Thank you.
quick question, i saw there is studio direct mode (used to plug in to direct headphone, laptop or mixer) does it mean the output is already balanced? (im a noob in audio setup stuff)
Hi, no problem, I use the studio direct mode (the default when switching it on) when using the USB connection room into a laptop to use it as an audio interface for noiseless recording, hope that helps, cheers
there's no change of tone when I switch between mic positions.... why is this? also when I change mics, there is no alteration when I updated it, I diddn´t loose my sounds - but on the other hand, there are no new factory presets... just wondering
Ooh I’m not sure! The sound changed on mine, but I had the first generation firmware, I have since donated it to my nephew so I don’t currently have it with me, there’s a good Facebook forum out there though if that helps
@@kgaston4574 you’ll need the quick tone software, a free download from nuxefx.com, then you can rearrange them, you can switch them on and off in the unit but not arrange them, cheers!
What sort of amp or speakers are you playing through? The tones through my MG-300 sound nothing like yours, in fact, they are really underwhelming. After purchasing the unit, I've come to the realization that you also need to have a very high-quality amp or speakers to get the best out of this unit. All I'm after is a glassy, clean fender tone, but after trying all the settings and presets, nothing comes close. I can actually get better tones out of Garage Band than I can from this.
Thanks for the comment, I recorded through a 10 year old Mackie Onyx into logic, the sound you hear is direct from the NUX, my fav amp was the matchless 30 emulation with the gain up a little, gave me a slightly overdriven sound that I liked, cheers!
@@RockatHome If you use it as a stompbox then i'd use the front of the amp mode (you can chose whether you have a combo or amp head) however, try a few modes and see what sounds best to you i reckon, cheers
Sir I'm really confused on what to buy wether the nux mg 300 or valeton go 100 . Sir can u tell me the one suitable for me I basically want a cheap processor with great tone and a processor in which is don't have to buy a audio interface and monitor directly while recording without using an audio interface . I want to upload my videos on UA-cam channel so sir can u pls help me select me one cheap processor with all the features and great tone 😀😀
That’s a good question, they are very similar, the NUX has mics on the cabinet IRs whereas the Valeton doesn’t, the Valentin has more drum patterns but ten NUX drums are better sounding to my ears, they both allow you to load your own IRs but I think the NUX PC interface is better and it has the NUX Verdugo effects and NUXs effects processor, I guess it depends on what’s important to you the most, but for my money I’d choose the NUX, hope that helps you out, cheers
I Also own both NUX MG-300 and Valeton GP100 - I agree with Derek's assessment ( NUX MG-300 Amps/Cabs and most FX sounds better on the NUX ) - there are a few advantages of the Valeton GP-100 - its input can be adjusted for -20dB to +20dB - suitable for Line Level (NUX input is fixed at -20dB), the Valeton has a Stompbox mode, Touch Wah, FX, more compressors, and all effects can be routed to any order, and can load 20 user IR cabs, for easy audition ( NUX must load CAB IR one at a time and only one Cab IR per patch) - but as a guitarist id i could only own one - Id choose the NUX MG-300
That's a good question, i know you can switch the amp off but i'll have to check later as to whether you can have the cab sim still on even with the amp off
An Australian website said they would get their first batch August 7th. But, I’m in the US and can’t find any info related to my country. I hope this helps.
On Leon Todd's MG-300 Video I had to bump up the UA-cam Video resolution to hear Stereo Audio At 7:26 he demos the Stereo Detune ua-cam.com/video/tal_L_5STP4/v-deo.html
elantric oh wow! I did t realise they were on amazon already and at that price, I mean for the price they are unbelievable, unbelievable anyway (amazing unit) but for the price, wow!
You push and hold the ‘edit/exit and save’ buttons together to access a menu that allows you to configure the foot pedal and then choose volume from there, does that help? Thanks
@@DerekPaulGuitar Thanks for answering. When I hit the edit/exit button the same time as the save button, it gives me the option to calibrate the pedal, but it never gives me the option to use it for Volume.
Ah yes sorry, if you go to a preset and hit edit, then hit the pedal button you’ll see it change at the top of the screen from wah, efx, amp etc, I can’t remember off the top of my head which one is volume, but I can check later when I’m by the unit, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar How much (if any) lag is there between button presses? I'm wondering if I can, for example, have adjacent patches for rhythm and lead tones and not experience a noticeable volume drop-out between button presses.
@@tjborekvideo when i was using it (and i used the first generation firmware) there was a small lag when switching) however i can't comment on the latest firmware as i didn't update it and don't use it as a stompbox but there are plenty of forums out there, cheers!

My QuickTime didn’t fill the screen either, I edited it to block out my screen icons, and there wasn’t acoustic tones on the first version, maybe there is if you update the firmware?
Can you use it as an audio interface?
Hi Martin, yes you can, cheers
Is it possible to use this directly into a daw without a physical amp? - For some reason it doesn't sound good with my Thr10x amp
Yes you can use it straight into your daw with the supplied micro USB cable and use it as an audio interface to record direct, cheers
Is it possible to create a freezer effect with a reverb and the expression pedal? Thanks
Hi, I don’t think it is but hopefully others will let you know, cheers!
hello, can I plug this multi-effect into my amp? i have Frontman 10g fender Amplifier and i want to put some effects into it
Absolutely, it can be used like a regular pedal, cheers
You can not turn off the amp simulation, but you can disable the cabinet simulation... So the answer to "can I just use it for effects in an effects loop or in front of an amp" is no. Also I believe it's Stereo only output. I don't see a way to make the unit output Mono in settings, most amp effects loop or front-in 1/4" jack is going to be mono input. The unit really makes use of Stereo output so you're really loosing something... My hope is that NUX will make a unit that solves these problems, because the effects are really damn good.
Hi, do you know how to factory reset, thanks 🙏
I can’t remember off the top of my head but it’s in the manual at nuxefx.com cheers :)
Hi i wanted to know whether it can used for live gigs?
Hi, the Valeton has a stomp box function and the NUX could be used at a live gig too
MG300 Is it good
It’s incredible! 👍
Sir can u make a video were u use nux mg 300 with a plugin and show us
I’m not sure what you mean? Do you mean using it as a USB interface? Cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar ya
@@falconthebeast7890 Ah gotcha, let me see what i can do
@@DerekPaulGuitar 😀cheers!
Is it possible to change patch or turn on/off some effect with footswitches, while using looper?
Hi Johann I’m not entirely sure to be honest, it’s possible to change patch certainly, but I’m not sure if you do it using the foot switch as they are used at that time for the looper functions
Can I use this as an audio interface for xlr condenser microphone?
It’s an audio interface for 5 1/4” Jack only, no XLR, cheers
Great! Is an audio interface too?
Hi, yes it’s an audio interface as well, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar Thanks
Very hard to the real quality as you appear to be using the neck PUP for some reason?
It’s just my favourite strat sound, I’ll be aware of using different pickups in the future, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar Update as I just received my own MG300. Is there any reason why no matter what I do it sounds thin with no body and brittle? (yes cab IR is on)
@@Neil-Aspinall Could it be the global EQ setting? press mode and adjust as necessary, worth a try
@@Neil-Aspinall Mine is the same. No matter what I do, I can't get a decent clean tone. It is really underwhelming.
can i directly use monitor speaker while recording from this output or the monitor speaker plug in to pc output..is there any difference sir?
I think your'e asking if you can plug a monitor speaker directly into the output unit? yes if they are powered, does that help? cheers
Hi Sir,... Is Steel Singer part of the effects ?
Hi, thanks for the comment, it isn’t, but.. it is on the new MG400, I made a video review here ua-cam.com/video/aUSXg6BTEP0/v-deo.html
Hi sir. Can i use this as audio interface then link with plug ins such as bias fx 2?
Hi, if the bias FX acts as a VST or plugin then yes, the MG 300 can be used as an audio interface :) cheers
Hello, how do you save a preset in another bank or program different from the one where it was created? These things are basic and important and you don't explain them anywhere or in a manual or anything. Thanks
Hi, I usually do it in the software, that’s the easiest way to do it, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar Thanks
Use the edit/save button to start modifying a preset. If you're done, press save button. Then you get to change the name of the preset and then press save again. Then it is done.
@@markmarkmark488 Ok, good!, thanks for answering, but this answer does not correspond to the question I have asked. Please, first read the question well (it is very simple and well written), and secondly answer (if you want), but answer something that answers the question well, (not something that by the way we all already know). I tell you all this so that you please try not to waste time and make nervous those who confidently lend you their attention. Thank you.
quick question, i saw there is studio direct mode (used to plug in to direct headphone, laptop or mixer)
does it mean the output is already balanced? (im a noob in audio setup stuff)
Hi, no problem, I use the studio direct mode (the default when switching it on) when using the USB connection room into a laptop to use it as an audio interface for noiseless recording, hope that helps, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar awesome, thanks!
Yohanes Adi Nugroho no problem at all!
How do you do to differents sounds? I push the bottom right pusher but the sound always the same!!!
That worked for me but you have to be in ‘stomp box mode’ you can also turn the select knob as I remember
there's no change of tone when I switch between mic positions.... why is this? also when I change mics, there is no alteration
when I updated it, I diddn´t loose my sounds - but on the other hand, there are no new factory presets... just wondering
Ooh I’m not sure! The sound changed on mine, but I had the first generation firmware, I have since donated it to my nephew so I don’t currently have it with me, there’s a good Facebook forum out there though if that helps
Check your output mode. If you have combo selected or stack, it disables the microphone/IR. It only activates/usable if your output mode is on Studio.
Can we monitor while recording using usb option
Yes absolutely, it can be used as an audio interface, thanks
👍👍😊
Does it have an effects loop to connect other pedals?
It doesn’t but I’ve tried overdrive pedals and delays into the front of it and it takes them really well, cheers
Can you rearrange the effects on this pedal?
Yes you can, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar can explain how to do it? thanks
@@kgaston4574 you’ll need the quick tone software, a free download from nuxefx.com, then you can rearrange them, you can switch them on and off in the unit but not arrange them, cheers!
What sort of amp or speakers are you playing through? The tones through my MG-300 sound nothing like yours, in fact, they are really underwhelming. After purchasing the unit, I've come to the realization that you also need to have a very high-quality amp or speakers to get the best out of this unit. All I'm after is a glassy, clean fender tone, but after trying all the settings and presets, nothing comes close. I can actually get better tones out of Garage Band than I can from this.
Thanks for the comment, I recorded through a 10 year old Mackie Onyx into logic, the sound you hear is direct from the NUX, my fav amp was the matchless 30 emulation with the gain up a little, gave me a slightly overdriven sound that I liked, cheers!
@@DerekPaulGuitar. I get it now, you've proved my point. It's all about the amp and the mixer. Thanks for the reply.
@@cmjingjo no problem at all, stay well!
You have to select your output mode whether it's Studio, Combo or stack. Choose the output modes depending on the amp that you use
can we use this as audio interface? can we record the sound directly to DAW?
Absolutely, when connected via USB it’ll show up as an audio interface and you can record straight into your daw with no latency, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar thank you so much for your reply!
IRA-BIM no problem at all, thanks
Run Quick Tone on Linux Systems?
The only versions available are Mac OS and Windows, this is from looking on their website, cheers
Is it usb buss power?
It uses a regular ‘wall wart’ type power adapter that ships with it, cheers
What is function of output mode?
It allows you to go studio direct or into the front or rear of an amp for example, whatever works best for your scenario
@@DerekPaulGuitar What if we use it on live? What mode is best for us to use?
@@RockatHome If you use it as a stompbox then i'd use the front of the amp mode (you can chose whether you have a combo or amp head) however, try a few modes and see what sounds best to you i reckon, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar woww cool. Thank you sir🙏
@@RockatHome no problem! Stay well my man!
Sir I'm really confused on what to buy wether the nux mg 300 or valeton go 100 . Sir can u tell me the one suitable for me
I basically want a cheap processor with great tone and a processor in which is don't have to buy a audio interface and monitor directly while recording without using an audio interface . I want to upload my videos on UA-cam channel so sir can u pls help me select me one cheap processor with all the features and great tone 😀😀
That’s a good question, they are very similar, the NUX has mics on the cabinet IRs whereas the Valeton doesn’t, the Valentin has more drum patterns but ten NUX drums are better sounding to my ears, they both allow you to load your own IRs but I think the NUX PC interface is better and it has the NUX Verdugo effects and NUXs effects processor, I guess it depends on what’s important to you the most, but for my money I’d choose the NUX, hope that helps you out, cheers
Thank u for replying sir
It helped me a lot thanks a lot 😀😀😀i really mean it
Falcon The Beast no problem, stay well :)
I Also own both NUX MG-300 and Valeton GP100 - I agree with Derek's assessment ( NUX MG-300 Amps/Cabs and most FX sounds better on the NUX ) - there are a few advantages of the Valeton GP-100 - its input can be adjusted for -20dB to +20dB - suitable for Line Level (NUX input is fixed at -20dB), the Valeton has a Stompbox mode, Touch Wah, FX, more compressors, and all effects can be routed to any order, and can load 20 user IR cabs, for easy audition ( NUX must load CAB IR one at a time and only one Cab IR per patch) - but as a guitarist id i could only own one - Id choose the NUX MG-300
elantric thanks for your input, I’m sure this help other people too, excellent assessment of both units thank you, stay well, cheers!
can we use it as a cabsim sir? cause sometime i go with my preamp pedal so i need only the cabsim to go direct to mixer
That's a good question, i know you can switch the amp off but i'll have to check later as to whether you can have the cab sim still on even with the amp off
@@DerekPaulGuitar okay sir i will wait the answer
Hi, I can switch the amp off and still select a cab so it looks like it can! Cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar okay sir Thank you for the answer, now is the time to pay the cart
Galia Matadewa no problem at all :)
Hope you enjoy it
When is it available?
It’s on NUX website but not sure when it’ll be with the dealers, soon I’m thinking
An Australian website said they would get their first batch August 7th. But, I’m in the US and can’t find any info related to my country. I hope this helps.
Jered Hunter cheers Jered, I think they will start filtering through soon, I’m learning more about it everyday! Cheers
@@jeredhunter7726 AMS has in stock
Hi. Can Nux mg 300 record processed signal and dry signal (for re-amp further) at the same time via its USB?
Yes it can, you can select which method you prefer on the unit when connecting via USB, cheers
Oh, at the same time? i don't think so, you choose, reamp, dry or normal, cheers
Are any FX Stereo? or is this a MONO Only pedal?
It’s completely stereo, and a lot of the effects are stereo too, cheers!
@@DerekPaulGuitar THANK YOU!
On Leon Todd's MG-300 Video I had to bump up the UA-cam Video resolution to hear Stereo Audio
At 7:26 he demos the Stereo Detune
ua-cam.com/video/tal_L_5STP4/v-deo.html
They just sold out at Amazon for $129
elantric oh wow! I did t realise they were on amazon already and at that price, I mean for the price they are unbelievable, unbelievable anyway (amazing unit) but for the price, wow!
How do I set the pedal up for volume swells? Please help!
You push and hold the ‘edit/exit and save’ buttons together to access a menu that allows you to configure the foot pedal and then choose volume from there, does that help? Thanks
@@DerekPaulGuitar Thanks for answering. When I hit the edit/exit button the same time as the save button, it gives me the option to calibrate the pedal, but it never gives me the option to use it for Volume.
Ah yes sorry, if you go to a preset and hit edit, then hit the pedal button you’ll see it change at the top of the screen from wah, efx, amp etc, I can’t remember off the top of my head which one is volume, but I can check later when I’m by the unit, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar I'd really appreciate it if you would check....its drove crazy
Hmmm I tried it and I can’t figure it out, let me ask my guys at NUX, I’ll get back to you, cheers
Can I use it for live and change the preset easily
Yea you can use it like a stomp box live, just use the foot switches to go up and down the patches or patches you create, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar How much (if any) lag is there between button presses? I'm wondering if I can, for example, have adjacent patches for rhythm and lead tones and not experience a noticeable volume drop-out between button presses.
@@tjborekvideo Do you mean using it as a stompbox live? cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar Exactly
@@tjborekvideo when i was using it (and i used the first generation firmware) there was a small lag when switching) however i can't comment on the latest firmware as i didn't update it and don't use it as a stompbox but there are plenty of forums out there, cheers!
It really didn't sound very good at all.
You think so? I guess it’s not for everyone, cheers
There are lots of other reviews of this product and it sounds amazing. Agree that this video is a lame demo of tones etc
this is price friendly compared to my boss gt1 😎🤘
🎸🤘
where can i buy it? and can this multi effect do as a sound card?
It is also a sound card, I think NUX are going to release it soon! It’s on their website already
