The MG30 sounded way better than I thought it would and I like both units (for different reasons.) I am impressed that any modeller with as many options as the MG30 can be offered at such a reasonable price.
Less than one minute into the video and I forgot about the modelers. The performance and tone blew me away. I am going to have that stuck in my head. Thank you for the amazing virtuosity.
The PodGo and MG30's vox and soldano sounds are both amazing and for the price it's just NUTS how many great options people can choose from. Nice playing as always, well done Leo.
Yeh. Until this I was so keen on a pod go. Watching this, I thought the simulation for mg30 was like exactly the same... still more features and buttons on the pod go is appealing but not sure it's worth almost twice the price where I am
As a floor unit, I think the Pod Go is better. I also prefer a user interface that has images of the real devices. But over time, I've come to appreciate the "sterile" look of the Line 6 user interface, as it helps break old associations with what each device and parameter can do and how it can be used.
Great demo and review as usual! Thanks for doing this one. It was very hard to tell the real amps from the modelers in the mix. I actually preferred the POD Go in the more sounds section, but I'm biased as I have one and really like it. I think the MG-30 really sounded great too. God bless and rock on 👍😎🎸
Hi, the POD Go is a great unit… I don’t think you are gonna regrest your purchase…. in any case , after having tried it, you can always return it… thank you for your message!
I have owned my PodGo almost a year now and I love it. You will probably LOVE the incredible sounds. Remember that even if you liked the sounds you heard from the Nux better, you can probably tweak both units to get closer to whatever you want and need in your own home with your own signal chain. Either one, into a good powered cabinet or FRFR will be amazing. My one complaint about the PodGo is that I wish there were more options for how to set up the stomp switches. I hate it when I want to get into or out of snapshot mode and the only way to do it is to press the up and down arrow buttons together. What a horrible choice. If I had the MG30 it would frustrate me having SO FEW footswitches. I would like to have the drum machine from the MG30 though. Both are cool. For what you get, you get a LOT MORE PER DOLLAR/EURO from the PodGo, than you get from the MG30. Unlike Leo, I really do like to try all the different effects in the POD GO, and I do use most of the amp models. The presets in the PodGo are really mediocre. I suggest to Leo if he were to make a nice pack of Presets for the PodGo they might sell well besides the pack of IRs which Leo is offering, which seems like a good deal.
@@beku73 I think you will love it. One HeadRush FRFR-108 is awesome, but TWO of them is even better. You can do both a wet-dry and a room-filling effect with a pair, plus you get stereo delay and stereo modulation effects with TWO. With one, you will get amazing sound for the price. Check out LEO's IR pack by the way. Good way to support the channel. User loaded IRs sound much better than the built in cab models in the PodGo.
Fantastic, thank you Leo! I did think the Nux sounded grittier so the top boost comment makes sense. Really leaning towards the MG 30 as my next purchase. I have been very happy with my Mighty Plug for quiet practice so if the MG 30 offers similar or better quality, its a winner for me. Thank you again and I must say I really enjoyed your playing!
Thank you, when you like my playing and my music...I'm super happy! By the way...I have the mighty plug too...it's a very useful practicing unit...I like it...
Hello Leo. Thanks a lot for your videos, really appreciate them. I had to choose one video to answer so I took this one :) I wanted to replace a pretty old multi effects thats was not that good but helped me a lot in repetitions with by band, where I had to go generally using my motorbike, the guitar on the back. Having a small unit is a plus for me. I listened to all your comparison videos (and a lot more on youtube globally), but yours made me come to the final decision. Especially comparison with other effects and a real amp. That convinced me about the sound, I made a bet on the NUX, due to the size and the provided 2 additional buttons for acting on effects. pod go seemed more flexible on that but not the size. I don't need 50 amps or thousands effects, your video was clear on that, the NUX provides enough for my needs. Sounds are better when the unit is directly plugged in soundcard or helmets, far, far better than my previous multi effects. I think the bet has been won, not talking about the price !. Immense thanks for that ! Best
Hi Pascal, you are welcome and I'm happy to have been of some help!!! Thank you also for sharing your opinion, your experience and you finale choice...interesting!
The NUX is very good, but it has more of that high frequency "digital" distortion and the Pod Go is smoother. The Pod Go has so many tweakable parameters that you can literally dial in pretty much anything you want. A great Friedman BE model :) and also EVH's brown sound (check out other vids. There is one that has the VH tones spot on. It should be the better of the two. It has the same modeling processor as Helix' top of the line unit.
Very very nice and solid review! My first impression in the tone comparison was also that the MG-30 was a touch more gainy as you pointed out later. I was surprised that you used the same settings on each unit because I would indeed have expected them to sound more different with the same settings. I've reduced the input level in the Pre-Eq on my MG-30 a little bit which would put them in this case even closer together. Its stunning what modelers in affordable price ranges can reach today - both units where quite close to the real amp. Was there any difference in playing dynamics between MG-30 and PodGo? I've heard from a direct source that the MG-30 will get more amps and effects later this year. I think the point NUX makes about quality over quantity is valid - but some very typical amps are missing. The 5051 for example - for metal it is definitely a must. Fortunately NUX already reported that the 5051 will come. Other amps I would like to see is Orange, ENGL and Dumble. Interesting would be to offer additional channels of the existing amps (clean/overdrive channels) - the range could easily broadened by including channel variants I think.
Excellent comparison video once again from this consistently fine channel - not forgetting Leo’s appealing manner as well as his exquisite guitar playing
Great demo Leo, I have been strongly considering one of these units as my next purchase, I seriously think I might go for the nux for the compactness, price and power requirement, and the fact that it is finally available now here in the UK.
Hi Leo, Great comparison, very well done. The NUX sounded very much better to me compared to the Pod vs original amps but I wonder if the same sound can't be achieved with tweaking the parameters of the Pod. But, I own a MG-30 and it costs less and sounds already amazing so for me it's a winner. Just one correction to your video Leo: the NUX DOES have midi connectivity. They offer it via USB so it can directly be controlled via a computer however: it can not directly be controlled by a midi-switch as the NUX is not a midi master. It can be done but then you'll need a midi-master box in _between. Thanks for your work, very well done and I like the acent :-) !!
Thank you Jurgen, I'm happy you like the video! Thank you for your correction...yes they work via USB...here I just wanted to point out that they both lack physical midi connections. Thank you once more!

I am a previous owner of a zoom g5n, sold it, and am waiting for mg30 to become available where I live. This week a very good pod go deal showed up and I went to do some research. I found out that the Pod Go has the same big issue of the G5n of having a weak DSP, as so, despite having good sounds we get hard limited with which we can choose because DSP limit is very easy to reach, that is very frustrating. I think if the multi effects face this problem of weak DSP is something that worth mentioning in the cons of the unit, at least for me, who is traumatized lol. Doesn't matter much having 10fx blocks if it is hard to put more than 6 or 7 actives due to this problem right? Thanks for your channel! Really appreciate the amazing music when showing in the mix and the information provided!
I sold my Mooer GE-250 and my Zoom G5n (both are great multi-effects pedals) and bought the Nux MG-30. My first pedalboard was the Nux Mg-300 which was so good that I didn't hesitate to buy the new pedalboard from Nux. I still have the MG-300, but it is resting in peace as I mistakenly connected the mixer's power supply to the pedalboard and the Nux uses reversed polarities (negative on the center pin and positive on the outside).😢
Same thing happened to me with my Mg 300 I didn’t even have the knowledge of the reversed polarity.. I used a different adaptor 8-12v instead of 9v .. and gone! .
@@lucasdewitartist7406 Technically the mooer ge-250 is better in almost everything and an excellent pedalboard but, for some reason, I think the Nux MG-30 goes more straight to the point and I was able to get better tones on it.
Hi, yes, that's true. The solution could be to cascade delay and reverbs after the pedal, so that you can have them in stereo. Thank you for your message!
Thank you! Let me just say that in the video I wanted to point out that both the units are missing physical USB ports. I think that also the POD GO can make midi over usb. Thank you for your message!
hi Leo, the nux mg30, do you feel it realistic under your fingers? would you compare it to a real amp? I know that is the most asked question, but I would like to understand if the advertised processors really perform as the nux says. I'm undecided whether to take this I have a real amp. Bye
Hi, it feels good under the fingers....but I have to say that I'm used to it and other amp modeling pedalboards. Maybe I will do a direct video comparison with one of my amps in the future...thank you for your suggestion!
Hi, good point. Yes, the POD GO pedal is bigger and has more excursion. Nothing drastic but there is more travel in the POD GO. Thank you for your comment and observation.
Hey Leo I love your demo song. Fantastic. Tell me I already have a Line 6 Floor. I would like to get the Nux. Which one sounds better with headphones? If I have the Helix should I get the Pod Go?
Hi, thank you…. when you like my music…I’m super happy! well, if you have the Helix, I don’t think you need the pod go, unless you need something more compact and light. as regards headphones, the both sound great! Thank you for your message!!!
Hi Armando, thank you, I'm happy you like the video! The headless is another Kiesel Delos...actually. It's a great guitar...maybe I will dedicate a video to her...sooner or later.. Thank you!
As a AC15 player (simulator offcourse), I really love how the MG30 can do a similar sound of V30... But POD GO can do it better on Soldano... For the price point, I'll go with MG30, or maybe MG300... 😅
@@basten036 Hi.... For live or gig? If I need to connect my board via Balanced cable, I will choose POD Go... But it depend to your setups, etc. My budget fit on MG300, and I need some extra budget for buying some DI boxes...
Hi Leo, thanx for a great music and video! I found some mistake at 9:36 an further: there is tooltip "MG30", but this is Line6 obviously on the picture?
Hi, you are right...sorry....the picture is correct and the topic is wrong... Thank you for pointing it out!!! Thank you also for the compliments, I'm super happy you like the music!!!
Hi Leo I am mainly a singer and so would like to have small compact unit. I received a good offer from my pod go and am willing to sell it and buy a nux mg 30 or a hotone ampero one only for its small size.. Plz guide me.. my uses are only the fender marshall and vox amp sim , good quality reverb delay crunch and slight overdrive.. no complex effects Can the nux mg 30 deliver same or if not better tone depth in comparision to the pod go.. or is the hotone ampero one better than these .. however I am slightly leaning towards mg 30.. but will go as per your suggestion.
Hi, I would have a question: do you need a mic preamp in the unit, so that you can both play guitar and sing with the same unit? Thank you for your message!
Hi, if you are searching for the smaller device, maybe you can check out the Ampero Stomp II, which I think is the smallest ones. In any case I think these are all great devices...and you are gonna be happy with all of them. Let me just add that you can even take into consideration a Quad Cortex or Line 6 floor, as both these devices has also a mic preamp, therefore you can have just one device for both singing and playing guitar. Thank you for your message!
I want to buy mg-30, here the sound is so close to real amp. But some people says that it's out sound is so thin than the other(Pod go,moore or boss ). So have you felt any thing about this? Like thin output sound of Nux mg-30?
Hi, I'm not sure I have understood what you mean with "out sound", nevertheless in this view you have the sound recorded from the physical output of the unit (and not USB), and therefore I think you can have an idea of the sound, just listening to the video. Thanks!
Hi, very hard to tell....I would say...lets listen to the demo songs I wrote for the demo reviews of the two units...in order to decide which one inspired me the most.(😊) : >> POD GO: ruclips.net/video/iQ-kAQx_bb0/видео.html >> NUX MG 30: ruclips.net/video/Ie2trDPSO1Q/видео.html Thank you and I'm super happy you like the video!
wow i was surprised how the pod go vox ac30 was pretty far off from the real amp. The MG 30 sounded pretty close. I thought MG 30 was closer with soldano also damn.
What about EXP assign? As far as I know, NUX-MG30 can assgin ONLY ONE PARAMETER(without minimum/maximum, just 0 - 100) to its EXP pedal at the same time, it this correct? NUX never say about EXP assign in their manual.
Hi, good question...unfortunately I'm currently on holidays and I can not make the test: if someone knows, please drop here a message. Thank you for your question!
Here in Australia, the NUX can be had for $360AUD The Line6 is around AUD$1K, give or take $100.00AUD I take it that's a comparable price difference in other markets? I've never used a modeler. Maybe I'll try the MG-300 before i go with the MG-30 or anything more complex. It's only $180AUD! The tiny screens worry me.
Hi, in the "My 2 Cents" section of this video I've summarized the pros and cons of each unit and at 14:55 you have my considerations about the overall value for money. Thank you for your message!
Hi Leo. Again a great video with lots of details. For me, both the POD and the Nux didn't get too close to the real deal. Vox: The real amp has a lot of dynamics which both modellers are missing. The Nux is distorting in the high frequencies, which sounds cheap and is known from early VSTs. The POD sounded "tame" and different from the Vox, without the slight distortion the real Vox has. Soldano: The real amp has a very pleasant character in the lower mids. This is where the magic happens. The Nux lacks all of it while giving the ugly higher frequency distortion again. The POD also misses all the lower mids. Both units lack the "mojo", which leads to a more "percussive" sound from the real amp. If I had to chose, I'd still prefere the POD since it doesn't sound like an approach to emulate distortion from the early 2000s. But truly there is something missing. For live sessions I'd play the POD anytime. For real studio recordings, both units fall flat against the real amps. Thank you for this great video. Cheers!✌
You, thank you both for the compliments and for sharing this detailed analysis...let me just add, that so far, the VOX is one of the less accurate simulation we have from all the modelers...I mean there are very very good sims of the Plexi, or the JCM 800, but I found the VOX to be always a step back in terms of modeling quality compared to other amps... Thank you once more!
Hi Samuel, not being a bass player for me it is difficult to answer. They both provide good tone, I think it depends if you need the extra foot-switches or you prefer to save some money....
Thank you for sharing your opinion! Actually I did a video comapring the POD GO vs Ampero vs GE 250 vs G6. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/soX8N1JP2zY/видео.html Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thanks. ☺️. I am leaning towards MG30. Even the zoom G6 is for $400. I am concerned about G6 after I looked at some reviews. Looks like MG30 it will be.
Hi, thank you for sharing...the FM 9 is a great unit...but let me say that it is in a total difference price range compared to these two units. Thank you for your message!
The MG30 sounded way better than I thought it would and I like both units (for different reasons.) I am impressed that any modeller with as many options as the MG30 can be offered at such a reasonable price.
Hi David, thank you for sharing! and yes, the value for money of the MG30 is pretty amazing…
But I guess, mg20 is still a better option for those unfamiliar with multieffects gadget since it has quick foot switch buttons.
Less than one minute into the video and I forgot about the modelers. The performance and tone blew me away.
I am going to have that stuck in my head. Thank you for the amazing virtuosity.
Hi, thank you so much, I'm super happy that you like the music!!!

Hi, it feels good under the fingers....but I have to say that I'm used to it and other amp modeling pedalboards. Maybe I will do a direct video comparison with one of my amps in the future...thank you for your suggestion!
hello! On the Mg 30, using the 4-cable method, would I be able to put the Nux preamp after the fxloop? Thanks a lot!!
Leo, please can you comment on the expression pedals of each unit, I have heard that the nux has very little travel, can you confirm? Thanks
Hi, good point. Yes, the POD GO pedal is bigger and has more excursion. Nothing drastic but there is more travel in the POD GO.
Thank you for your comment and observation.
Hey Leo I love your demo song. Fantastic. Tell me I already have a Line 6 Floor. I would like to get the Nux. Which one sounds better with headphones? If I have the Helix should I get the Pod Go?
Helix and pod go will sound the same
Hi, thank you…. when you like my music…I’m super happy! well, if you have the Helix, I don’t think you need the pod go, unless you need something more compact and light. as regards headphones, the both sound great!
Thank you for your message!!!
wow dude, great song!
Thank you so much, I'm super happy that you like the music!!!
great comparison as usual. did I miss something or the headless in the mis is a Harley Benton?
Hi Armando, thank you, I'm happy you like the video! The headless is another Kiesel Delos...actually. It's a great guitar...maybe I will dedicate a video to her...sooner or later..
Thank you!
Mg 30 Vs Moore ge 250 pls
Hi, thank you for your suggestion… good idea!
As a AC15 player (simulator offcourse), I really love how the MG30 can do a similar sound of V30...
But POD GO can do it better on Soldano...
For the price point, I'll go with MG30, or maybe MG300... 😅
Hi Daniel, thank you for sharing your opinion and experience!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thank you.. Great playing... 🔥🔥🔥
Hi daniel and Leo, what do you think for live or gigs, which one more reliable? Thank you.
@@basten036 Hi....
For live or gig? If I need to connect my board via Balanced cable, I will choose POD Go...
But it depend to your setups, etc.
My budget fit on MG300, and I need some extra budget for buying some DI boxes...
Hi Leo, thanx for a great music and video! I found some mistake at 9:36 an further: there is tooltip "MG30", but this is Line6 obviously on the picture?
Hi, you are right...sorry....the picture is correct and the topic is wrong...
Thank you for pointing it out!!!
Thank you also for the compliments, I'm super happy you like the music!!!
Hi Leo I am mainly a singer and so would like to have small compact unit. I received a good offer from my pod go and am willing to sell it and buy a nux mg 30 or a hotone ampero one only for its small size..
Plz guide me.. my uses are only the fender marshall and vox amp sim , good quality reverb delay crunch and slight overdrive.. no complex effects
Can the nux mg 30 deliver same or if not better tone depth in comparision to the pod go.. or is the hotone ampero one better than these .. however I am slightly leaning towards mg 30.. but will go as per your suggestion.
Hi, I would have a question: do you need a mic preamp in the unit, so that you can both play guitar and sing with the same unit?
Thank you for your message!
@@LeoGibsonGtr no just for the guitar..
Hi, if you are searching for the smaller device, maybe you can check out the Ampero Stomp II, which I think is the smallest ones. In any case I think these are all great devices...and you are gonna be happy with all of them.
Let me just add that you can even take into consideration a Quad Cortex or Line 6 floor, as both these devices has also a mic preamp, therefore you can have just one device for both singing and playing guitar.
Thank you for your message!
I want to buy mg-30, here the sound is so close to real amp. But some people says that it's out sound is so thin than the other(Pod go,moore or boss ).
So have you felt any thing about this? Like thin output sound of Nux mg-30?
Hi, I'm not sure I have understood what you mean with "out sound", nevertheless in this view you have the sound recorded from the physical output of the unit (and not USB), and therefore I think you can have an idea of the sound, just listening to the video.
Thanks!
@@LeoGibsonGtr
So, would you want to say mg-30 has a balanced output sound? Can you compare it with boss me-90?
Great video Leo! So, which one do you prefer, inspires you the most?
Hi, very hard to tell....I would say...lets listen to the demo songs I wrote for the demo reviews of the two units...in order to decide which one inspired me the most.(😊) :
>> POD GO: ruclips.net/video/iQ-kAQx_bb0/видео.html
>> NUX MG 30: ruclips.net/video/Ie2trDPSO1Q/видео.html
Thank you and I'm super happy you like the video!
wow i was surprised how the pod go vox ac30 was pretty far off from the real amp. The MG 30 sounded pretty close. I thought MG 30 was closer with soldano also damn.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion....I was surprised too...
What about EXP assign? As far as I know, NUX-MG30 can assgin ONLY ONE PARAMETER(without minimum/maximum, just 0 - 100) to its EXP pedal at the same time, it this correct? NUX never say about EXP assign in their manual.
Hi, good question...unfortunately I'm currently on holidays and I can not make the test: if someone knows, please drop here a message.
Thank you for your question!
Think it is all 32bit. Can never get the specifications from Line6?
Hi, I think Line 6 has 24 bit converters.
Thank you for your message!
Any links for first demo's backingtrack. Thanks
Hi, this is actually a good point...I've not done any backing track so far...but I could do them in the future...thank you for your suggestion!
Here in Australia, the NUX can be had for $360AUD The Line6 is around AUD$1K, give or take $100.00AUD
I take it that's a comparable price difference in other markets?
I've never used a modeler. Maybe I'll try the MG-300 before i go with the MG-30 or anything more complex. It's only $180AUD!
The tiny screens worry me.
Buena comparación, tu cual recomiendas.?
Hi, in the "My 2 Cents" section of this video I've summarized the pros and cons of each unit and at 14:55 you have my considerations about the overall value for money.
Thank you for your message!
Hi Leo. Again a great video with lots of details. For me, both the POD and the Nux didn't get too close to the real deal. Vox: The real amp has a lot of dynamics which both modellers are missing. The Nux is distorting in the high frequencies, which sounds cheap and is known from early VSTs. The POD sounded "tame" and different from the Vox, without the slight distortion the real Vox has. Soldano: The real amp has a very pleasant character in the lower mids. This is where the magic happens. The Nux lacks all of it while giving the ugly higher frequency distortion again. The POD also misses all the lower mids. Both units lack the "mojo", which leads to a more "percussive" sound from the real amp. If I had to chose, I'd still prefere the POD since it doesn't sound like an approach to emulate distortion from the early 2000s. But truly there is something missing. For live sessions I'd play the POD anytime. For real studio recordings, both units fall flat against the real amps. Thank you for this great video. Cheers!✌
You, thank you both for the compliments and for sharing this detailed analysis...let me just add, that so far, the VOX is one of the less accurate simulation we have from all the modelers...I mean there are very very good sims of the Plexi, or the JCM 800, but I found the VOX to be always a step back in terms of modeling quality compared to other amps...
Thank you once more!
For bass guitar utility what pedal do yo prefer?
Hi Samuel, not being a bass player for me it is difficult to answer. They both provide good tone, I think it depends if you need the extra foot-switches or you prefer to save some money....
my opinion for the clean patch i vote for nux
for the soldano amp i choose pod go
How about comparison of pod go and ampero? :)
Thank you for sharing your opinion! Actually I did a video comapring the POD GO vs Ampero vs GE 250 vs G6. You can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/soX8N1JP2zY/видео.html
Thank you!
i can't use all the 32 amp sim and cab sim of nux mg-30. So in my case why should i go for line 6 pod GO with price that is triple as to nux mg-30?
Hi, thank you for sharing...
@@LeoGibsonGtr you're welcome bro. Do you mind if I'm asking what country you belong bro?
Hi, I'm from Italy. Where are your from?
Thank you
@@LeoGibsonGtr From philippines bro. I just bought the Nux MG-30 and it's really great. The sounds is so perfect and it's versatility.
@@LeoGibsonGtr Do you have any idea on what scale to use when playing Rock Fusion jazz?
maybe in this video nuxmg30 is more like basic, but I prefer pod go because it's more natural
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion and experience!
😱 here in India Pod Go is for $600 whereas Nux MG30 is for $270
Should I go for MG30 / Zoom G6 given the price difference?
Well, a pretty big difference...it depends, but I would save my money going with the MG 30
Thanks
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thanks. ☺️. I am leaning towards MG30. Even the zoom G6 is for $400. I am concerned about G6 after I looked at some reviews. Looks like MG30 it will be.
I can't say about you guys but in our country PodGo is more than twice the price of the NuX MG30
Hi, thank you for sharing! May I ask you where do you live?
Thanks!
I can buy 4 MG30 with the price of POD Go! damn these Chinese products are not joke anymore.
Good point...thank you for sharing!
MG30 handsdown !
Hi Faruk, thank you for sharing your opinion!!!
MG30 VS Doner Arena 2000 please
Hi, thank you for your suggestion! Unfortunately, I don't have a Donner Arena...
nux mg30 💎💎
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion!
Hands down POD GO is the best in every aspects
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion! I think that the POD GO is a great unit...but let me say that it is not better in every aspect.
Thank you"
Nux mais real , podgo mais recursos.
Hi Juliano, thank you for sharing your opinion!
According to the price both r good but overall line 6 win
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion!
Neither. Grab a new FM9- if you can get one.
Hi, thank you for sharing...the FM 9 is a great unit...but let me say that it is in a total difference price range compared to these two units.
Thank you for your message!
@@LeoGibsonGtr True- good point. Still- put the $299 towards a future FM9!
No sé puede tener peor gusto...
May I ask you what you mean?
