Tks a lot for the test. Really like the way you show dialing 1 crunchy sound and a cleanish sound. Very natural and more appealing to me than most other demo.
As I've come to expect, another well-done, no holds barred video/demo. Thank you, Leon!
LT I love how you get right down to the nitty gritty of it - let's see how this damn thing rocks out, there you go my friend, good job!
You truly are the best at reviewing gear...straight up and honest! Good on you Leon!!
Great video sir! Sounds like a solid effects board!!!!
Great job of presenting the gear. Also illustrated a lot of different playing styles which is nice. Sold me on the unit. On my list.
Glad you liked it!
this is without doubt one of the if not the best demo experience yet. Leon you deserve props for this video
Wow !! Bring more videos about NUX mg 30 !! Hugs from Porto Alegre Brazil !!
I’m digging this unit brother Leon!When you said stereo detune and CH-1 I was sold!I thought this unit sounded really good you also mentioned it has that dual delay pedal in it that you demonstrated not to long ago I really liked that pedal also.Great video as always you should definitely do another one on this unit!Rock on I may get this and plug it into my Boss Katana 100!🤘
Brilliant content as always Leon 👏
+1 for the question on dotted delays
Thanks mate ! Cheers from Sydney
Hey Steve, a dotted 8 greeting from a fellow Sydneysider - hope lockdown isn't getting to you.
Stay safe, take care.
Thanks so much for showing us how to use the hardware interface. Too many reviews focus on doing this via the software.
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best review of the unit, also your playing is great and really entertaining. Enjoyed every second of the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent comment at the end.
I am playing music just for fun after the day job or with my band and I was looking for some simulations to board to avoid carrying a full pedalboard or switching on a computer fulfilled with vst.
I just need something that sounds great, easy to use and easy to move.
Looking at different options such as the Kemper, the quad cortex or the headrush pedalboard but it is overkill compared what I require: a simple effect chain and some customization to get the sound I like. This unit seems compiling everything for intermediate players, with decent quality (I am pretty sure most people cannot win a blind test between this one and the other I mentioned) and at a veeerrrryyyy affordable price.
Thanks for playing live to illustrate that !
Great tones!
Amazing video, Leon! I ordered mine bec of this and Joko Reantaso’s video! Thank you for the overview!
Man there's only 2 ppl on youtube you can trust to have the knowledge and intention to tear a piece of gear apart and make a good review of it. you and henning pauly
Very good video. Clear with what moves are being made, good sounds/tweaks, and good preview of the device for the viewer. Might be getting one of those. Particularly for its metal tone. Those amp sims sound like real amps don't they.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Listened to the rant 🤪😂. Love your reviews man. Best Regards!
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for the in depth demo bro! You got into a few details other reviewers overlooked.
I play for my church and like to noodle on the side. I think this is such a flexible unit that you really could gig it happily. I'm thinking of buying one to have a more consistent sound at church, since I can dial in my settings at home and not worry if the church mics are coloring my tone.
I think this unit is solid for intermediate players who are curious about different gear (amps & cabs & pedals) but not able to commit to the large purchases. I used to have a $2000 rig that I sold to pay for my wedding. I think this would easily replicate & replace the whole thing for a fraction of the price.
I'm sure this would do the trick!
Congrats on your wedding too dude :)
I used the MG-300. In church several times. I sold it and will be getting this one for the acoustic amp and IR factors built in
Great vid Leo u have a new subscriber! I just ordered one from swamp👍
Considering one of these vs an FM3 as a backup for my axe fx and to have something portable. I've watched enough videos that I'd almost written it off until I saw this and it just got complicated again. Fantastic job of showing off how good the core amp sounds can sound! Really. At the end of the day, the raw amps are what I want to hear, and I got that here, thanks!
The FM3 is incredible, and if you can afford to grab it. However if you don't want to spend so much this more than gets the job done!
@@LeonTodd Thanks for the reply, I think you just talked me into the FM3.
I felt pretty certain the FM3 was better, but didn't want to put you on the spot with a question like is the MG-30 good "enough" as that's so subjective. I'd hate to grab a Nux and everytime I play think it's not as good as my axe fx.
@@daveolden181 once you've tasted that sweet Fractal nectar it's hard to have anything else :p
"Maybe it's for you, maybe it's for me, maybe it's for all of us." .... prophetic words!
I also started my journey with a zoom 707. I have a pedalboard setup, last year got myself a mooer pe100 for travel. Then bought a NU>X mg30 for rehearsals.. Didn’t start to explore the mg30 yet.
Great review Leon. However you didn’t mention that the unit also has bass amps which is great for musos that dable in both camps. I can’t wait for this unit...plug and play. Awesome channel Leon. Keep it going.
Also has acoustic amps
Sweet!
I learned many things here thank you bro
My pleasure
That thing sounds awesome.. also best reviewing person and great guitarist !
too kind mate!
Excellent review. Your closing monologue nailed it. I don't want to spend the better part of $1k on an HX/POD something or other so I can come home after work and enjoy playing music. Yet I want something near that quality (expansive tastes, small budget). This seems to be right in the ball park when you look at features.sounds vs. price. You also demonstrated a nice range of sounds. Just really enjoyed the review. Thanks!!
I appreciate that mate. Unreal value for your money on this unit.
@@LeonToddHi pal. I was wondering in this price range or up to about £400 ish which modular do you find best? I’m looking at the Ampero 2 but some of these cheaper ones so good as well. Thanks
Absolutely first class review. This guy is simply the best when it comes to reviewing stuff. I don't actually buy anything unless I see him review it first!!!!
Can't believe how good the Budda model sounds...Can't get the one in my Fractal FM3 to sound like that!
Great video thank you
Cheers from Bali 🍻 I already ordered Nux MG30 because of You, Leon 😂🔥🤣🤟 Keep Rock'in !!!
Hope you're doing well up there, all of Australia is waiting until we can come visit beautiful bali again!
Cheers, Mate @@LeonTodd 🍻 hope someday we'll meet here & jamming together at my Gig 🤟🔥🙏
Yes, I want one!
Hey Leon.
Had to check this out. Now that I'm retiring I'm trying to decide which of these type of units to get.. It's between this one, the GX100 by boss and the Headrush MX5. If I don't find one I like I might just save a little money and get the FM3 which I know you'd recommend sir. 😛. I really can't defend spending that money though on an amp modeler, but if I don't find what I want, then I may go that route.. Either way, I'll be using your cab IR's for sure sir! Also, I'll be using your video's to learn.. I love that LP.. What a beautiful guitar, and those pickups not having covers just reminds me of my youth and Kiss.. I just love it.. Of course, I'm a guitar pig and love all guitars almost.. 🙂
I would love to see you do a video on the Headrush MX5. I don't think you've done a video on that have you?
Thanks for what you do sir.. for what you do.. You really help a lot my friend.. I totally trust your video's and opinions on this stuff sir! You're a genius my friend. Great playing too as always!
Tim
Well impressed by that Budda model there!
very well done bought one after watching.
No kidding. Looks and sounds amazing.👍 How do you think of it now after using it? Still killing it or buyers remorse?
super good this ... great by the way
I'm a helix user but came to this because the lead guitarist in a band I recently rehearsed with was using one of these and does live. It's an impressive pedal for relatively not much money. It's more than just a bedroom toy.
Great little unit bro
Ripper hey. Hope you're well mate!
@@LeonTodd Yeah good thanks mate, likewise in these strange times bro
Yes I agree about budda being a good sleeper amp.. I own a superdrive 18.. its amazing with that friedman designed front end.. I love that amp.. plus it's much louder than 18 watts suggests.. great demo 👍.. oh ya and off topic but u should pick up a caline Leon drive.. its actually a decent ocd clone
Wow, such a cool device. 😊
If my memory servers me right, I think a brand new BOSS Delay costs more than the MG-300, if not the same. I'm saving up for the MG-30 and ,now after watching your video, I think I just might settle for the -300. I dunno. I'm torn. Argh! But awesome content man. Keep it going!
Omg haha playing a bryan adams tune at 15:00 run to you. Very cool classic clean tones.
Glad you picked up on that one - great tune!
Love this song! Run To You.
I saw one in the Wish catalogue!
I didn’t know much about it so I played it safe and ordered a Ratt Tshirt instead.
Good Review... I have and FM9 and love it but I can't get it on my carry-on or take it on a budget airline to go to CA from AZ. ( I can borrow a guitar and powered speaker but the pedal that has all my tone)
Thank you for this video. Lovely sounds. Price was fantastic at start. Now it's more expensive...
You said zoom 707? My first pedal. I have it as an artefact.
I'm really looking forward to trying this out when they become available for purchase in the US. I was blown away by the MG-300. Notwithstanding the cheap plastic case, I was able to get more convincing amp tones with a better play feel than I could with the Helix. The Friedman, Uberschall and Budda amp models are all great fun to play through and sound amazing when matched with the right IRs. The external effects loop is the deal clincher for me - being able to integrate this with my analog drive pedals and amps will make it so much more versatile.
This is awesome, I can’t wait to get it, when do they start selling it in usa?
Quero uma dessas 😍
Bit in love with the top of that les paul 😍
It's stellar hey
Can’t wait for this to land in the uk
So you cant turn on and off the Fxs with the footswitches ? Really digging the tones btw ! A great professional review !
Keith Williams, of Five Watt World, just shuddered when you uttered those words. 😁👍
This is just the best channel. Man, I think it sounds really good. I am impressed actually. Of course, your great chops always helps and allows me to really listen to the hardware. Great stuff. Hoping youll do a Friedman amp model on one of these vids. 😂 Like I'm the only person that matters. 😂 I love those amps.
Great video sir, and perfect timing as I had just woke up and it is like 647 am now and I'm on my huge glorious cup of strong coffee with two sugars and a bit of real creme. Ahhhh. Just great. Life is good and your channel makes it better sir. Hope you're well my friend. 🤟💪🤟💪🤟
Coffee and tones!!!
@@LeonTodd absolutely. !!!
perfect sound like real tube amp good solotion
You rock
Great Review ! Wonders Hows this going vs Mooer Ge250
Surprisingly good tone ...
awesome
Can you tap in drum fills? Great video!
Great Video, Does the MG30 have a model of the Dynacomp compressor?
Hi, love your channel. I have had the MG30 for about a year now, but never really played with it until now. Question: IR's are only relevant in a live gig (or recording) situation if you are plugged into the PA - ie not your guitar amp, which is made redundant?
Correct. Bypass the cab block if using in front of a regular guitar amp
just bought this for bass
finally a user interface that i actually understand how to use!!
I usually use stereo slapback delay, at 100ms, 0-1 feedback (to shortened the repeat) and use 40-50% level/volume, you got that reverb/room ambient in stereo, instead of using reverb
Does it have a decent collection of stereo effects. Can’t find this information anywhere. Thanks for a terrific video.
Great demo as always, what are you playing into.. interface and monitor wise ?
Straight into a UAD Apollo twin and Adam A7X monitors
Great video!! What do You think hx stomp vs nux MG 30??
Pod Go?
Hi Leon. Very sorry to bother you.. you do an astounding job presenting salient information on this unit, backed up by an obvious high level of pro player experience, compared to alot of other presenters on YT.. hence my question to you: I've been a pro touring bass player for 35 years, but currently I'm playing elec gt in a touring country tribute act. I bought this pedal to do a quick & dirty job straight into FOH, and as we're a country show, I'm only using 3 tones really.. maybe 4 at a stretch, for the whole show. Can I ask what you do with the PRE and POST EQ on this thing, and your global settings generally (other than set it to Studio Direct) to make it cut through the mix? Sounds great at home, but buried live. Dang.. bass is SO much easier! Thanks, Stu.
Wish I could get an app for that to control in tablets but for the price it's a pretty sweet Beast and the amp sounds really good..
Mmmmm... Mostly use cleans with a little Larry Carltonish OD. The Deluxe Reverb sounded pretty nice. Might beat out the MG300 there. Need to see more. Wish the demos had more clean, ambient and smooth OD sounds. Been looking at these units as an alternative to my large pedal board, which I’m tired of carrying around. My pedals have nice warm tones. Hopefully I can make that work with the NUX pedals.
Your reflection and comments at the end got me thinking. I can create great tones with my pedal board but I struggle with complicated ambient tones. Swells, doubling, lust reverb sounds with other things happening inside it are tough to create and more importantly control. I think that’s where these pedals come in. A one button press to get those complex tones is worth it. Then if they can replicate my OD, chorus and other basic tones like a Fender Deluxe or TWIN, then I may make the switch.
Hello Leon! For use in a live show with the mg30 on the floor, would you happen to know how to switch presets using one of the foot switches? Thanks in advance.
If you have tried it also, how does this unit compare to a line 6 firehawk fx? I have that currently, and it does everything I want, but I feel the only real way to change settings is by connecting a phone via Bluetooth and through the app. I'd rather be able to change more easier via the effects board itself.
Great video 👌
Hi! I have a little question... For the mg-30, it's possible to record a basic loop, with drum etc and after when the loop is OK, to stop only the loop and plays on the drum in solo, and to restart the loop when you want?
I hope my question is clear. Thanks for answer
I bought a Nux Cerberus back in December to run at Church. It sounds great, but I would love the option to use a modulated delay, a detune, or like a Rat distortion on the occasional song. So this might be just right for the price. Can't really justify a Hx Stomp right now with bills and keyboards I want
Whether it is good for church purpose? Wat abt sounds?Acoustic,clean,over drive!??
What distortions are the best nux 400 or the nux30. I seen the other video.and there was a wicked distortion on the nux400 nice playing
Thank you, i would like to know if it is goog to play in a live situation
Hi buddy, would be nice if you can do the review with HOTONE AMPERO .. I am really interesting of the tones what you will create on Ampero .. :-)
The MG 300 got the Post FX Parallel routing too ?
Things I learned for this video, no1: its pronounced NU-X not nux...
Yeah! I was calling it “Nucks.”
I feel like an illiterate buffoon!
Same.
When I saw the brand name NuX... Capital N and X my natural impulse was to call it NU-X and not NUCKS! 😅
Me from Ur comment 🤣🤣🤣 thank you
Great demo Leon! especially your comments at the end. There are a lot of choices out there and it seems there is one for every situation you can think of. I will say that it's not for me, I prefer the sounds from FAS products myself.
You all probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me!
@Kason Dario Instablaster =)
@Ian Benicio I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm.
Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Ian Benicio It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass !
@Kason Dario You are welcome =)
Do you think that the amp and cab simulations are far away better in the Mg30 than the Mg300? Or are they similar? Thanks
Hi! Does the MG 30 have Banks of patches say like the Boss ME 80?
Hi Leon, Is it possible with the MG-30 to send 1 output to the fx return of your amp and 1 to front of house? (So 1 with IR and 1 without)
Hi Leon! Slightly off-topic, but what is your opinion on new Marshall DSL amps, like the DSL20HR for example. Are they suitable for metal music in a "home studio" kinda' setup? So no gigs, just bedroom use, recording, practicing. They are pretty cheap for an all tube amp.
I need to try one in that setting. Check out the Ceriatone Son of Yeti vids I did a little while back, that's a monstrous little amp for the studio.
Excellent! What is the BPM in the right part of the screen, below the scenes icons? (there is also a BPM settings in the drum machine part)
Difficult question to answer because with all the fx units on the market in all price ranges, the right decision is in each ones pocket. Fun fact, if you were to use this unit as a backup for FM3 playing live, it would be fun if no one noticed the change ...
I'm pretty sure no one would notice. I'm sure no one would care too. All the audience cares about is, does it sound good. ✌️🇦🇺
hey man, this is a solid review. how does the NUX MG30 compare to Zoom G6?
I haven't tried the g6 as of yet unfortunately
The $300 price point has so many options.... I dunno, I feel like for my money as a hobbyist, I'd lean more towards the NUX Cerberus or BOSS ME-80 or FlyRig.
Amazing playing and video as always.This unit sounds great. I notice your IR's are gone from the link :(
Are they by chance on another site or link?
I'll fix that - try here ⪢ My Cab IR's (Free)

@@LeonTodd Thank you so much. On another note. I love your playing and videos. One of the best on RUclips hands down.
Damn man
Sounds great! Using my MG300 way more than my Headrush Gigboard which is like 5x the price. Could even gig with it, what more do you really need except an output?
That's wild. Could easily gig this, it's so much sturdier than the MG300.
@@LeonTodd I could gig either, but sadly i don't gig anymore..........
Thanks for the detailed video. I have two questions: [1] Is it possible to change/add effects and amps in S2 and S3, so these are significantly different than the S1 patch? [2] Is it would be 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, 1B, 1C, 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.
Great demo, great unit... Just confusing marketing on Nux's part. So the 30 is a bigger unit than the 300? if it weren't for the price, better check the picture first before ordering online
Hello. I have two questions about Nux MG-30 product.
Can I use an external wah pedal simultaneously with NMP-2 Switch?
Can I use NMP-2 switch as a continuous part of the Nux MG-30 for using like a patch mode? For example, 1. and 2. patch will come from Nux, 3. and 4. patch will come from NMP-2 switch. So I can have 4 patches on board like 1-2-3-4.
Best regards.
Can Nux mg30 record dry signal and processed signal to DAW simultaneously via its USB??
Leon, if you had to have one amp and or cab.... What would it be? I know this is a difficult question. Would it be a preamp setup, a combo amp ect?? For me I gave up on the multi fx stuff some years ago.
Give me a Boogie Mark IV and a Recto straight cab and I'll sail off until the sunset!
Прекрасный обзор!
How do you find the sound quality when using through headphones? Nobody seems to cover that in demo videos. 🥺
How does this compare to the pod go?
Would you use it with the haitch 9?
