Cool, so if I grab one from the lads and ladies at Artist (lovely people, half my music man-cave is thanks to them) via your affiliate link, you get a little $?
I just ordered mine this morning. Reasons I am choosing this model is a lot less amp models to choose from (too much makes it difficult to find the sweet ones), the interface is beautiful and intuitive and lastly it can go right into my PA. Let us not forget it has a simple looper and some drum sims too. I will reply to this once I receive it and play on it to let others know if it is what I expected.
I bought one of their combo amps at a flea market, and I was surprised that it sounded so good. I particularly liked how quiet it was. Very little background noise and a low noise floor, which made everything sharp, clear and precise.
I’ve had various NUX pedals all have been excellent sound quality, well made and excellent editing features all at excellent prices for the quality of the gear your getting compared with other brands and prices, just better sound quality and superior in functionality and features. The MG30 is a really good multi fx unit at its price. NUX ahead of most manufacturers in my opinion.
I used to just go to this channel for reviews but now I'm basically checking in on Shane's playing ... It's come a long way since the channel was created .
Yeah … I have a Boss GT-1 and it’s great, but the computer aspect was awkward. This is the second demo I’ve seen & I’m interested … what’s the story on Joyo?
@@MrPhins same here. The katana interface sucks and is really discouraging. I bought a tube amp next to it because I don't want to tweak my sound using a mouse pointer.
I’ve been a boss fan since the got my first ds-1 in 1994. I know how to use boss products. That said, they’re so unintuitive and difficult to use. I struggle a lot with the gx100. This interface is MUCH better. I’m impressed. The UI issues with boss products are what’s pushing me to look into different brands.
Cool multi effects pedal!! I wouldn’t mind trying this, however I still love using individual pedals and I don’t know how much I’d use this. Totally enjoy listening to the tones you pulled from this Nux Shane! Cheers!🎸🎸🎸⚡️⚡️⚡️
This thing looks pretty awesome. In a perfect world, I would ditch the treadle and have a smaller enclosure, but that's the only obvious thing I would change. The software interface looks great.
Mine came a week ago & after updating Firmware, it's a very inexpensive alternative to pedalboards - I'm using it for home studio & it'll take me a while to glean its potential. Very happy 👍
Nice! I got one of these as soon as they came out and it's my go-to amp modeller! I've also released a review video about it a couple of months ago. Try the Tweedy amp and you're set!
Seems like excellent value for money. The interface or direct to SC is a good feature. Glad i held off on the MG 300 - not that the little brother isn't a good unit, but the MG 30 is definitely something i could see myself using for applications other then late night practice sessions. Cheers Shane.
Great video, Shane! Been looking at something like this that can go directly to a PA or serve as just an fx board. Was leaning towards an HX Stomp or Pod Go, but this sounds great too. Also, looks like there are some spam comments on here about investing our money management. Weird!
Another wonderful insightful review Shane but as a complete noob who is interested in this unit could you explain the connection process. I had intended to get an audio interface as I got the impression it was essential for the pedal and studio monitors to plug into but your comment about using this as an interface has confused me 😂.
I know it is pronounced New X but I will always call it nux, it just sounds better to me. Also for around the price of a few mid level or even one high end pedal, this seems worth checking out.
The MG30 comes with an external two button footswitch and i seen videos where people used wireless midi controllers with the MG30!Out of the box you have a total of 5 footswitches with this unit!That should be enough to get you going!
Hot one ampero vs mooer ge 250 vs joyo gembox 3 vs zoom vs nux mg30 vs line 6 go. This price point of modelers are getting competitive. Great video. Where is vox’s tonelabs floor units been? Been hoping and waiting for a nutube tonelab version.
Shane, could you please answer what is your opinion: Which one from these two is better for live performance and can pack up a punch with some heavy distortion (for metal for example): NUX MG-30, or AMPLITUBE TONE X? Can you plug it into the FX port, or you can use it just with the speaker (since it has its own presets)? Thank you so much!
How does this compare to the hotone ampero or line 6 pod go in terms of amp simulation (specially the fender and marshall amps),audio depth quality of reverbs and modulation ?? Plz tell
I have the MG 300 which has been fun to play with and my MG 30 arrives on Monday (they’ve been sold out for ages here in OZ) For $439 AUD this is a bargain and I look forward to using it in the studio and possibly with my rig… if I can closely duplicate my pedal board that is. The little brother has been for recording mostly and sounds great but has some limitations. Thanks for the review Shane.
Can one plug an Acoustic Guitar into it? Which Amp model? ...As I understand it, the Acoustic Sims are not for plugging in an Acoustic guitar but rather for an 'Electic guitar' to approximate an acoustic guitar.
If only you could buy them. I've been watching this thing for months now on the TH-cams and still can't get one. Everything I've seen & heard thus far is more than good enough for me, but if I can't get one really soon, like in the next week, I'm gonna go with the Pod Go.
Artist Guitars haven't had them for months - which is probably why they didn't send one to Shane. Sounds like his came direct from NUX. The Artist package includes the extra foot switch - at least it did when they had a few. Hopefully they get that deal back soon - my practise rig needs an upgrade. Thanks Shane - luv ya werk!
I’m testing wong, plini, and nolly. All of them have great sounds but nolly seems to be the most versatile. If nux would be similar in sounds quality I would pay more to get it as it gives more options (looper, expression pedal, footswitch)
try to use 5 or 6 Neural DSP Amps on one Project - if your PC/Mac still works fine, use VSTs - other People like me with old PCs (4-5 yrs) can only load 1 or 2 Channels with modern VST Amp Sims - 😂😔
Hello ! thank you for the demo ! finally at the end of 2021, what is your best solution for playing Fender's tone without an amp and without a computer and playing with a headphone at night please ? ^^ ( around 300€ lol)
Bought it ! great gear ! not all orignal preset are really interesting for me, but more fun and more interesting sounds to play at night with headphone than with my Boss Katana headphone output ! the realistic sound is there !
Thanks for the review. I like the NUX MG 30, nice sounds. Although I think that the drums could have intos, fills and outros and the looper could have better functions for producing verse and chorus on songs. Them again it would probably cost more.
But that's part of what makes the MG-30 brilliant. It doesn't have nearly as many options as other multifx pedals. What it does have, is useful and maybe somewhat opinionated. A few choices, really good ones, instead of a huge breadth of choices.
Thanks for your video Shane always enjoy them mostly there I learned from them but I guess this is not a go for me because I'm extremely legally blind I.e Bob the blind bedroom guitarist LOL it would be wonderful if someone made a home recording system that was blind friendly but I don't think that's going to happen anyway thanks sincerely was coming but Bob the blind picking guitars p
Ordered mine today Week wait for delivery due to my working week preventing me being home to get it Can't wait lol So I'm watching video's, see if I can learn anything helpful before I have it lol
I love this idea but not as a guitar amp sim unit. Id love to see a full on dedicated drum machine with all different kits tones of drum patterns and bass emulation with fills etc etc and i can use this as my interface and just push my GE300 through it for all the guitar and amp stuff.
imagine being rich, being too lazy and ignorant to come to even the slightest agreement. Let's petition to fire the government or take from their pocket Money is good for only three things : fun, investing, and giving.

Hello everyone, well if I'm permitted to speak I think Investing right now should be at the top of everyone's list. In 2years you will be ecstatic with the decision you made today! Bitcoin is the most secure run on the largest decentralized computer network in existence.
I just bought this unit on impulse at the local store.
I must say, I really like the user friendly interface.
Dialing a great tone is very easy.
that jam track tone sounded really good. I've been impressed with all the NUX gear I've tried over the years. they make nice stuff for sure.

I can't believe how $300 bucks these days can get you this much killer tone! We are definitely in an affordable tone "golden age".

@@arishasem2898 I love it and I am still using it today!

Excellent review! Especially including some nice Jazzy sounding clean examples for those of us who do not 'head bang.' B-) Thanks

Got say the software interface is brilliant, Boss take note 😀
Agreed. I have the Katana 50 mk2 and, other than the first week, rarely use it with the computer because of the software UI.
Yeah … I have a Boss GT-1 and it’s great, but the computer aspect was awkward.
This is the second demo I’ve seen & I’m interested … what’s the story on Joyo?
Oath. The ES-8 interface is a fkin nightmare and the editor is no picnic either
The Boss software is very poor by comparison.
@@MrPhins same here. The katana interface sucks and is really discouraging. I bought a tube amp next to it because I don't want to tweak my sound using a mouse pointer.

Looking into buying one of these , they’re very affordable and sound pretty good , nice playing as usual Shane
Sounded good for the most part Shane!
Your review was awesome! Thank you! I bought this model after seen it!
Great playing As usual!
How do you find the sound quality when using through headphones? Nobody seems to cover that in demo videos. 🥺
Mine came a week ago & after updating Firmware, it's a very inexpensive alternative to pedalboards - I'm using it for home studio & it'll take me a while to glean its potential. Very happy 👍
You’re getting pretty comfy with those higher gain licks Shane.
Nice! I got one of these as soon as they came out and it's my go-to amp modeller! I've also released a review video about it a couple of months ago. Try the Tweedy amp and you're set!
Is steel singer part of the effects ?
Hi Shane, what do u think is better sounding Nux or Hotone Ampero? For home, rehearsals and small gigs.
I don’t need any more gear, these days I tune in to listen to Shane play
Seems like excellent value for money. The interface or direct to SC is a good feature. Glad i held off on the MG 300 - not that the little brother isn't a good unit, but the MG 30 is definitely something i could see myself using for applications other then late night practice sessions.
Cheers Shane.
I have watched endless reviews of this unit, not one has mentioned the units best feature, the Scene 1,2,3 functionality.
Nice. Before you even played a Hendrix riff you could pick it was that tone. That’s impressive
Did you use two TRS and two Mono guitar cables to connect this multi effects with your amp overall the 4 cable method? Sounds great
Great video, Shane! Been looking at something like this that can go directly to a PA or serve as just an fx board. Was leaning towards an HX Stomp or Pod Go, but this sounds great too. Also, looks like there are some spam comments on here about investing our money management. Weird!
Is the sound really stereo (like after applying reverb or delay?) Thanks !
Another wonderful insightful review Shane but as a complete noob who is interested in this unit could you explain the connection process. I had intended to get an audio interface as I got the impression it was essential for the pedal and studio monitors to plug into but your comment about using this as an interface has confused me 😂.
I know it is pronounced New X but I will always call it nux, it just sounds better to me. Also for around the price of a few mid level or even one high end pedal, this seems worth checking out.
I will wait for a MG-40 and hope it will have many more footswitches...
The MG30 comes with an external two button footswitch and i seen videos where people used wireless midi controllers with the MG30!Out of the box you have a total of 5 footswitches with this unit!That should be enough to get you going!
I just got one. I honestly think the NUX is way way better than the Joyo Gembox III. IR loader and interface is pretty good too.
Hot one ampero vs mooer ge 250 vs joyo gembox 3 vs zoom vs nux mg30 vs line 6 go. This price point of modelers are getting competitive. Great video. Where is vox’s tonelabs floor units been? Been hoping and waiting for a nutube tonelab version.
I like this pedal, Which do you think is better in the emulation of effects and amps, the nux mg30 or the hotone ampero?
Shane, could you please answer what is your opinion: Which one from these two is better for live performance and can pack up a punch with some heavy distortion (for metal for example): NUX MG-30, or AMPLITUBE TONE X? Can you plug it into the FX port, or you can use it just with the speaker (since it has its own presets)?
Thank you so much!
That sounds great. No fizz. Love their mini amp for what it is.
How did you use it as an audio interface?
Is the "Studio Direct Output" setting for going straight into studio monitors?
Hi, great video, I want to know if this pedal the mg30 have the fuzz face or any fuzz effect?
How are the wet effects on this?
If I am wanting an amp less rig, is this a good options. I just want something portable to bring to a practice and to and gig running it into mixer.
can we download the jam track?
Can it be used as straight up to mixer for live gig?
How does this compare to the hotone ampero or line 6 pod go in terms of amp simulation (specially the fender and marshall amps),audio depth quality of reverbs and modulation ?? Plz tell
Can you assign the expression pedal as volume and put it post amp?
Is there a Dumble among the amps?
I have the MG 300 which has been fun to play with and my MG 30 arrives on Monday (they’ve been sold out for ages here in OZ) For $439 AUD this is a bargain and I look forward to using it in the studio and possibly with my rig… if I can closely duplicate my pedal board that is.

Hi Ken. How did the two compare?
Can one plug an Acoustic Guitar into it? Which Amp model? ...As I understand it, the Acoustic Sims are not for plugging in an Acoustic guitar but rather for an 'Electic guitar' to approximate an acoustic guitar.
is this can stack two effect type at once? like two delay type in one patch..
These are pretty good units.
How does it sound through the headphones?
Hi - what's that green guitar you're using - I couldn't find it in your shop...? Thanks.
Ah, it's a PRS Custom 24-08... nice!
Good evening from Chicago. (its 11pm here)
Hi Dennis, thanks for watching mate. :)
Will this sound as good as a front end pedal to a Fender Tone Master Series amp or Quilter Cub?
If only you could buy them. I've been watching this thing for months now on the TH-cams and still can't get one. Everything I've seen & heard thus far is more than good enough for me, but if I can't get one really soon, like in the next week, I'm gonna go with the Pod Go.

I just got a POD Go. I really like it. I like the built-in expression pedal. It does way more than I'll ever need or use.
Nux MG 30 vs Mooer GE 200 which one is better overall?
M A J O R C O O L !!!! value demo thanks !
Does this sound good plugged into a tube amp using just the effects (no amp or cab models)?
Yes it can be used like a normal pedal without the cab and amp sims.
I’m testing Neural dsp plugins now. They sound really good to me. I wonder what would be your opinion on those in comparison to the nux.
Very curious too, if this could get a similar sound to say, Archetype Plini, I’m getting it in no time
Archetype Cory Wong is amazing
I’m testing wong, plini, and nolly. All of them have great sounds but nolly seems to be the most versatile. If nux would be similar in sounds quality I would pay more to get it as it gives more options (looper, expression pedal, footswitch)
@@HammerFang Exactly how I feel! Hoping someone can do some kind of A/B testing with at least one of the Archetypes, that would be great
try to use 5 or 6 Neural DSP Amps on one Project - if your PC/Mac still works fine, use VSTs - other People like me with old PCs (4-5 yrs) can only load 1 or 2 Channels with modern VST Amp Sims - 😂😔

For blues, rock and metal music.
I haven't tried the Boss pedal, sorry mate.
@@intheblues
It's okay. Thanks anyways.
Thanks for the review. I like the NUX MG 30, nice sounds. Although I think that the drums could have intos, fills and outros and the looper could have better functions for producing verse and chorus on songs. Them again it would probably cost more.
Nux mg 30 vs mooer GE200 which one is better overall?
Hey this is great! But where can I get one here in the states? I am in New York.
@Quiksilver Thank you! Do you a link?
Decent tones but option paralysis would probably stop me being productive with the unit!
same thoughts here
That’s the reason I got rid of my helix and Powercab!…You can’t beat a good Amp and pedalboard!
But that's part of what makes the MG-30 brilliant. It doesn't have nearly as many options as other multifx pedals. What it does have, is useful and maybe somewhat opinionated. A few choices, really good ones, instead of a huge breadth of choices.
@@TheAtkinson118 So I ended up buying a Tone Master Deluxe Reverb blonde, perfect match to my pedalboard!
Nice unit 👍✌😎
STILL asking. Can you get country tone??????????????????????????????????????
I got the boss gt1 .and buy this mg hoping to get a better sound threw the pa. The distortion the notice gate all. No good.
Thinking if buying this or Boss GT1. Is the sound NUX produces really that different from the BOSS? Appreciate some response.
Sir I am also a lefty guitarist
Wish it had some Midi Ports
❤❤❤
Shame on Kemper, I had one, for two days, sent it back, never looked back ;)
Nux is the new kid in town and for the price of an 1/8's ;)

Can you get a real country lead tone from this?? That 'Brad Paisley' type is from a modded Vox, it seems.
This is soooo tempting and I just had some money come in.......
Ordered mine today
Week wait for delivery due to my working week preventing me being home to get it
Can't wait lol

Why doesn't some manufacturer make such a full-on drum machine with full bass patterns??
👍
whats the story in all of these investment comments?
$500 aussie dollars is a bit much; the katana has better value for money and better support. How could it compare to a kemper is beyond me
No MIDI! (‘Usb midi’ doesn’t count - not useable). Pity for the price.
I think all effects processor have a long way to go before they can try to start like a real valve amp
Too brittle and cheap sounding.
Yeah. I'm a basic b***h. Replaced my vox tube amp with a Boss Katana basic. I have no taste. Even I thought this sounded buzzy.
