Amp Model Comparison (with IR's) on the Nux MG-300 & the Valeton GP-100

- I thought it might be interesting to compare some of the common amp models between the Nux MG-300 and the Valeton GP-100 but in this video I use the same impulse response on like amp models.

Interesting that on the original video the valeton sounded a bit bright and brittle but in this one with same ir usage the differences were often less noticeable and sometimes the valeton was much darker... I bought a valeton because of the stomp box features and bass presets. Enjoying it!
Hey bro, nice video, i decided over valeton because of the stomp mode and more connection options, where can i find that ir's that you used in the video? Thanks a lot bro
I like to see the video demo here because the sound that is produced is really original from the pedal, plus anything👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 😀, much appreciated
Thanks for this comparison
My pleasure 👍🏻
I'm wondering if the GP200 sounds better (using IR's) for the both!?
In this video I liked Nux on clean and low gain better. Valeton was a bit too muddy. Maybe some knob tweaking like lowering bass and adding more treble would fix that. Dunno
However higher gain amps sounded better on Valeton to me. And since I'm going to play mostly metal I lean more towards Valeton. Didn't decide it yet though
Can you redo without ANY reverb? I think the difference is in the reverb of the GP-100 sounding like butt.
Sound quality of the GP wasn’t as good to my ears. Like it had a warble almost. The tones were fine, and if I didn’t hear them side by side I wouldn’t notice anything. But as a comparison, I’d probably go with the NUX.
Tuff 2 say. The different presets sound quality really depends on which you might be using. Some of the lighter tones sounded better on the Valeton while some of the distortion/OD ones were better on the NUX. While they all are kool as smaller modelers, given My needs & skill lvl Id prolly go w/ either the Valeton or a Mooer. But the NUX software is superior to all of them UI-wise.
It's interesting how using the same IR removes most of the tonality differences. There are obviously still differences and the NUX sounds more "organic", for the lack of the better word, but I think that in a way, I kinda prefer the sound of the Valeton, as that's the kind of sound I like better when playing along with MP3's for example. And there's of course the noticeably better build quality of the Valeton and the stomp mode to consider. If only there was some kind of NUX 350 with at least some metal parts (the switches would be a good part) and a stomp mode...
Actually nowadays exist the nux mg400, but costas twice the valeton gp100, but has more options, search it
@@juansebastiansuarezromero9094 I've bought the GP100 a long time ago now and the MG 400 would've been too expensive for my needs, but thanks :)
I'm still undecided, which one you think it's better, generally speaking (tones, features, quality) ? Can someone give me an advice, please.
If just used for guitar I tend to lean toward the Nux MG-300. It quality is a little better and I like it’s feature or ability to re-amp.
in this case i vote for valeton, although i have mg 300 at my studio :D
Were is better for you bro ? Tanks for the video
Which one do I prefer between these two? I would say the NUX MG-300.
My 2c worth. I've had both of these... the NUX is closer to the real amps (I have an AC30TB and the NUX absolutely nails it!). I kept the Valeton though... I need it for small gigs when I need to travel extra light and the NUX has three huge disadvantages for my use.. 1. The build quality is not something I would take out and play with, it's strictly bedroom/studio only, the Valeton can take a beating. 2. The NUX won't allow for effects chain order changes whereas the Valeton lets me move pedals anywhere I want. 3. The Valeton lets me use Stomp mode so I can use the foot switches to control individual or groups of pedals within each patch and then easily swap over to change patches without having to use my hands. As a 'live' pedal the Valeton is superior and the amp simulation quality isn't so great that anyone would be able to tell when playing in the mix with other instruments.
Great feedback Alex. Much appreciated 👍🏻
Thanks
I totally agree.. the valeton gp-100 is just sooo small and has it all! lol.. And honestly, these days in the mix people can't tell any difference anyway only us gear heads. I have all sorta tube gear marshalls, mesa etc etc.. But I have been just using that little valeton hehe it's just soo convienant! I giggle every time I use the thing it's just killer bang for the buck and that lil footprint. it's a no brainer buy one! I may even get another one to keep by my bed lol ok not really.. eh
@Vladimir Yes, I think it would be fine for that.
@Vladimir Yes. It has a great blues overdrive pedal which you can use with any of the cleaner amps or even on a slightly overdriven tweed amp model and then straight into a PA
Where did you get the irs?
The majority of them came from www.choptones.com/ and a couple came from www.celestionplus.com/ and one came from eminence-digital.com/
I heard a little noise on Valeton, is that true?
Yes, It is possible. Not sure which patch or sound sample you are referring too but depending on the amp model used, how much gain is selected and if a noise gate is being used, it can have some noise but nothing that was excessive or seemed out of place.
Can anyone tell me if either of these can layer multiple patches? I have a pod x3 and it can play two different patches simultaneously
I don't believe either of these have that capability. That is interesting about the POD x3, maybe I need to get one and give it a try.
@@Tone-Quest if you can find one. Lol. They aren’t bad. I like using the dual patches for bass tone. I can have one patch very low bass tone and the other I use a wet distortion and get a very Pinnicky tone
Nux sounds more Open to me
Gotta use custom IRs with either of these. The stock aren't very good, imo.
The Reverb blocks behave very differently between the two brands, and that makes any tonal comparisons very deceptive.
The 50% mix on the Valeton is much more accurate, while the 50% mix on the NuX is closer to what 20% actually sounds like.
Still, I think the amp modelling on the Valeton sounds more recent than the one on the NuX which sounds like what modellers were doing 10 years ago.
Real no talking 👍👍👍👍
Is the RP360XP better than these?
Not sure I can say that the RP360XP is better than these. While the RP360XP is still a good pedal, usually older multi-effect pedals suffer from not being able to load impulse responses, which can really make a difference in the overall sound. It is possible to disable the internal cabs and run the pedal into a cab pedal (two if you want to do stereo).
@@Tone-Quest are impulse responses really important?
@@RafaelSanchezR I would say yes, as it can make a tremendous impact on the overall sound. So having the ability to load different IR's always you to sculpt your sound without having to be stuck with one stock sound that the pedal comes with.
@@Tone-Quest is it true that you can only load one IR into Nux?
@@PabloDiabloPL one IR per patch, which is pretty cool in my opinion. Some multi-effect units only allow a limited amount of IR’s but the NUX MG-300 allows one per patch 👍🏻
The IR is too bassy.
Sounds good with JC 120 though.
Just my opinion btw.
which one better?
both good, personal taste
GP 100 forever
Almost the same sound. The coloring is exactly the same. For example, the difference between Boss, Digitech and Nux is huge, but between Nux and Valeton is insignificant. You only need to look at the quality and convenience of the devices, not at the sound.
NUX sounds more open and in your face. VALETON is more compressed and distant
NUX is waayyyy more realistic sounding!
I think valeton so overrated 🙏
