- Welcome to my review on the NUX MG-300, the modeler that YOU wanted to see on the channel! You guys are always giving me awesome suggestions, and it makes me happy when I can actually get a hold of the gear you want to see to review it. I will 110% be shooting this out with some of the budget modelers you've seen on my channel in the near future, but for now, I wanted to do a deep dive into and talk about the NUX MG-300
DISCLAIMER - I had to insert an update portion in the middle of the video, because I felt it was important to know that the update solves some issues you may have out of the box. They also updated the manual, so you will want to grab a digital copy of that while you're there!

#nux #mg-300 #review - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Thanks for dropping in guys! Make sure to keep your eyes peeled 👀 next week for a shootout! Let me know what you guys want to see in the comments! 👇
just shared this on the nux official FB group ;)
MrMordor74 🤘 good one!
Let the drooling appreciation spread 🤤
😂
Thanks! 🙌
Is there any latency when changing patches/presets
I recently exchanged my archeage gear for this nux and a guitar :) Just wanna say the firmware is already updated and the paper manual also contains pedal calibration.
got this unit last year, and recently decided to explore the world of analog board, but I still keep the MG300 for small gigs cause it's very useful and compact. great video man!
Is there no 5150 type amp option?
Or, did I miss it?
this unit has has a more powerful processor than the other budget modelers of today. conversion rate of 32/48 as opposed to 24/44.1... plus the ability to add your own IRs make this unit the best value out there by far.
Yes that's true, but you also have to consider the fx and amp selection is limited which may be a bummer for some people
@@TaylorDanley It'd do for a practice/jam tool or a grab 'n go DI rig.
I prefer individual stompboxes into my preamp & IR loader (or the GFI CabZeus I've recently acquired) for going direct, but sometimes that's a hassle.
Ofc ideally I prefer real amps and real pedals..but we live in horrible times where that is not always possible.
These units always seem to have glitches with the expression pedal! My buddy's old Boss ME-25 is a case in point. We can't get it into pitch shifting mode no matter what we do.
32 48 really?? which other multi effects pedal uses that sampling?
@@SirPraiseSun can anybody differentiate between whether iy is 24 or 32 the sampling rate?????? If not then dont get amazed...
@@sachinsun1 24 sampling rate is standard wav. 32 is for audio engineering stuff. Typically we go higher than that when we do mixes, but the higher the sampling rate, the higher the detail.
Hey dude, thanks a lot for this video. I was kind of interested in this thing and just wanted a clear, concise demo of how it worked and you did exactly that. Sub'd.
I'm curious how it would sound with a real cab. Glad for you that you reached out and they came through for you.
🙌 me too! 🤔 maybe a real cab shootout is in order.
@@TaylorDanley yes please. Inthe market for one of these
That sounds good, nice review!
Been plowing through budget multi-effects pedals for a couple of months and among the pedals that get the most love is the MG-300. From what I have gathered, the Valeton GP-100, because it has a stomp mode and a preset mode, is the only pedal that has the capability to toggle effects on and off in a preset on the fly. Am I correct that the MG-300 does not have this feature?
You can use some effects on the expression pedal by pressing it once on the top of it. It will turn on or off the effect of delay for example or the reverb but I'm not sure that it can for example engage a boost pedal with that function. You could assign the expression pedal for the reverb and when hitting it once on the top it can become a delay. But don't take my word for it. My unit arrives tomorrow
Hi! I bought my device 2 days ago. Does anyone else has a problem with using the device with headphones? It seems like the default sound is too quiet compared to the effects' additional sounds. Pretty much its unplayable for me through my headphones (ath m50x). Even some of the default patches do not work correctly. It sounds great with an amp though. Did anyone else have this issue?
Super portable, I can see owning this. These smaller modellers are all so well priced a person can actually own a few. Sounds good.
Yeah, I really like the UI on this one in particular
That's a pretty cool pedal dude. Nice work
Thanks Barry!
Souds great!! By the way, how is the feel of the buttons? Are they solid or soft?
I wish it had Bluetooth like the Mighty Lite. I like the music on my iPad to connect automatically instead of using an AUX cable. Just a tiny convenience I discovered I must have. Otherwise I’m having fun playing around with both Nu X products. And yes, I did buy both of them
heeeeeyy great review man! im a beginner. what is the output that you used from the nux ? is it straight to your computer ? does it have latency? sorry for my english
It's running straight into my audio interface. I didnt notice any latency when I was playing it, but honestly I never really do when I'm playing any effects unit so take it with a grain of salt 🤷♂️
Hi ive been playing guitar for 6 months now and i wanna know(noob quesiton sorry) can you connect to a normal guitar amp? Every video review people hook it up to their computers. And do I need a guitar audio interface to use it on my PC?
Taylor i tried to download your patches but the link is broken, so how can i get the patches for my nux?
Hello. Firstly i thank you for this video. I can not connect with Quicktone App on Mac Os. I've plugged the device, i could update it so the cable works, device works but when i open the app something goes wrong. ( I've tried it with two different cables.) There is no connection. Have do you an idea about what i can do ?
Thanks again.
I just picked one up for $0.45. Bought an open box on Amazon so saved $25. I had a $125 gift card and about $6 in rewards points so I ended up paying 50 cents for it. Can’t wait to try it out!
No, you paid $ 125. You only saved $25 on an open box item...
@@MrBeen992 $125.41 actually.
Perspective 🤣
Dude! Awesome video, thanks! Btw, what camera are you using?
Gh5
@@TaylorDanley thanks matie!
Great sound from NUX! But No EXT PEDAL input here like my MFX 10 or MG20 for the bank switcher... 😭.
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!
Hi! How the latency from changing patches?😊
I have a big pb with this pedal because there is a lot of different level of sound and it’s very hard sometimes because it makes me ear pain, how can i fix that ?
awesome. can i connect it to the monitor speakers without audio interface? i only have laptop.
Will the nux mg 300 sound good on a small vox amp that has only normal input without loop effect return input? I always buy pedals or use bias fx2 and I’m afraid that I lose tone quality. Should I buy some better amp or a speaker monitor to get better sound quality? What do you think. Does the nux has a way to be contacted to GarageBand on my iphone without another interface?
Not sure about the iphone. I just made a video on different options to hook up effects units to help answer this question!
Taylor got to thinking after you showed that great drum loop demo :) Have you ever tried the Digi tech Trio+? I thought it would be interesting to see you do a Metal demo as you would do in a rehearsal session. But minus a drummer and bassist just a thought.
Never tried it, but I'll check it out! I'm not versed in drum machines, I've just been using software since the 2000s to write
@@TaylorDanley I've seen a few clips on it and it looks simple to use. I was asking because everyone I know when they write something down and later go to record they also use backing tracks software. Just a thought!
@@m.giffin5133 I have the regular Trio. It's great.
I'm hopeless with software so it suits my needs.
I tried to do the firmware update when I got it yesterday. Now its stuck in "update mode", but won't update. Or do anything else.
Does it have a noticeable footswitch latency if you change patch from drive to clean or vice versa?
Same here
I love the UI and the sounds, but I'd love it to have midi in so we can automate switches!
Yeah I know what you mean. Unfortunately it seems like you have to get into the mid range modelers for that tech. I'd gladly trade the expression pedal for midi though 😂
Appreciate for the video. What is the model of the Jackson on this video? Thanks.
Soloist. I never can remember the exact model, but there is a review vid of it on my channel!
Great video very informative!
Im having a hard time deciding on the mooer ge150 or this 😢
Ive been usint the mooer brown sound (evh 5153) and im hoping what multifx has a more better 5150 tone
Did you use a speaker for nux or what did you connect the guitar to
In Studio Direct mode should I use a balanced TSR or a unbalanced TS cable to connect directly into my mixer?
If you have the solution already or not you use a regular guitar cable
Can u get a dry signal out of it and use something like bias fx with it?
Would the mg-400 sound good thru an Alto ts-310? I just got mine and I’m mine and I’m on a very limited, so what do you think????
Can I use it in my FX loop or in front of my amp and still get the amp modelling that is in this unit?
yup
New - X, I am sure that's how they call themselves.
Anyhow, a quick question, please.
In our Church, we use a mixer. If I take this new x MG 300 and plug it there directly, will it work?
Or, am I going to have to bring my amps along?
Got a question tho. (A noob one. Lol) can I use some stompboxes in front of MG300 and record to my PC, together with the other stompboxes?
Yes! Try it out!
@@TaylorDanley Alright ! Will do once I get home ! Thanks mate!
So how are most people using this thing ? Through their amps or as a headphone amp ? I imagine it sounds best as a headphone amp ?
Hi, with this effect processor, Jackson 22 dinky is good? Or should I go with ESP or Ibanez
Great, great review !!
oh and what da FUUUCK is that shit in his beard !!!
Can anyone help me: my main issue with this pedal is that each preset is a VASTLY different volume. I go from clean to distortion and it blows my ears off. I've tried to edit the volumes using the 'Level' setting in the amps but it reverts back once I move the level knob. The volume discrepancy is crazy! Any help much appreciated
Hey guys, need your help. Between this and the Valeton gp100, which one you prefer and why? Please 🙏
I like it how you pronounce Nux 😁.
Efin awesome review btw.
🤷♂️ 😬😬
New X?
Funny thing is I sent the video to a rep before I posted it, and he didnt correct me lol 🤷♂️
Awesome brother!!! Good info!!!
Thanks! 🙌
Uhhhmmm... I ALWAYS check if there are BIOS/Firmware/Software/Driver/PDF-Manual updates for any new hardware I get on the manufacturer's website... maybe because I'm used to building PC's and doing PC tech support, both for myself as a self-supporting end-user and for others, so this is just my go too, literally both when I get new hardware, and right before "turning it off and back on again" as a fail safe before going through with such updates, to see if they're even necessary when troubleshooting... I also check back periodically for new updates... maybe that's just me?
Doing this thing also, tech enthusiast doing this like habbit.
Does this pedal work for bass or acoustic? Thx
Nice review. Would be interesting to see how it compares to hotone ampero one.
👀👀 monday
Is there any way you could demo the Hughes and Kettner Black Spirit 200 amp?
If I can get my hands on one, definitely!
Thanx for this video. It seems to be a good pedal for practicing anywhere for a decent price. Does it work with batteries too ?
Not that I can see, no
An earlier model, the MG-100 takes six AA batteries. It looks like they skipped a battery compartment with the MG-300 to keep costs down. You could always build your own external battery box.
Can you use the footswitches to turn off and on effects while playing?
nop
Which one is better, this or Vox Stomplab IIG? And, can the Nux MG 300 be combined with other pedals?
oh yeah, could you come back to this and demo out the Slo.
AMAZING GUITAR EFFECT AT 11:27 time
How is its durability for budget ?
Because i'm going to buy a one🙈
Can it be powered only by connecting the usb cable to pc?
Can you use this pedal solely as a looper and drum station without having any of the effects on from this pedal?
I wanna know this too!
Maybe if you make a patch that has no effects on it
Stick an EHX Analogizer after this, might take off some off the unpleasant high-end fizz.
It can be used as USB interface?? or it's only for updates/setting patches??
Yes it can be used as a USB interface.
Can you put the effect through effects loop in the amp?
What Matthew said! 👆
This means that you can combine it with analog pedals?
Please make a preset with pitch whammy pedal with this nux mg 300🙏.
Great review of the NuX MG-300. BTW, it's pronounced "New-Ex"
I've done a couple of vids on the MG-300 as well. It's a great piece of gear. Tomorrow I'm launching a reamp demo if you want to check it out.
ha ha nux . always nux . never new ex /.
petey twofinger It's called Nu▶️X mate, there's an arrow right between the letters in the logo.
@@DJsRockShop thanks for the update champ . i was kidding mate .
@@DJsRockShop Nucks :)
Gotta have one!
Nux (New X) should have a preset called a kick in the nux.👤
can it it plug directly to amp ? or i should use like audio interface and monitor speaker
Best in the return if your amp has an FX loop. Bypass the cab sim if that's the case. You can also go into an interface, FRFR speaker.
@@TaylorDanley thankyou for your reply , i only have pratice amp wich is vox pathfinder 10 , do you think it still good ? or it won't work ?
random question that maybe someone here can answer...how do i load in custom IRs? ive learned how to load custom patches and such through quicktone, but can't figure out how to load the IRs themselves...help anyone?
th-cam.com/video/tal_L_5STP4/w-d-xo.html at the 3:15 mark
Can this one be used with an FRFR speaker?
Sure can.
does this have a drop tune effect?
Ever do any clean or mildly overdriven tones ?
Is there any latency?
has a menu for mic/amp/effect for vocal???
I can connect directly to my speakers right???? Or do i need a interface or a cab?????
It can connect directly to speakers
I’m gonna call mine my Cod Cortex , it’s totally sick
Is it possible to update my Nux on my tablet?
? I think Leo Gibson said the housing on this one is all plastic, no metal at all. He is usually very thorough in such details.
It is. I dont know why I thought it was metal. Maybe it's that sparkly stuff they add to the plastic 🤷♂️
I just picked one up, trying to connect to Tone software that came with the unit after install on my pc, no luck. Anyone else have this issue?
Awesome review, usefull information, not just nonsense standar demo
Any chance of getting the mooer ge300 lite?
Possibly. Haven't talked to them in a while...
Subscribed. Love your stuff. Pod go and ge300 lite are the same price.
Looks like a true mouth watering piece of gear hey?
It's pretty cool. Definitely my favorite UI out of all the budget modelers.... maybe even the high end ones!
Taylor Danley , the onboard one or the pc editor software UI you’re talking about?
Both! The unit has a really high def screen for being so small, and the software is very slick and easy to use
This or Mooer Ge150 or Zoom G1x four?
love the review.
I prefer this to them all... ge150 is a very close second..
@@TaylorDanley thank you so much, Taylor.
I've been in a dilemma regarding this because I've been saving up and wanted to get the best possible with my limited money.
@@TaylorDanley hi there Taylor, I know you can load 3rd party IRs, but is that like cabs only or can I load 3rd party reverbs too?
Been asking some youtubers that have reviewd this but not a single answer.
Thanks
Хороший обзор, не трогайте рычаг тремоло никогда))
Havent seen you use some of the clean channel though, btw it sounds good, Im still thinking if i shud buy this one though i have nux mfx 10. Thanks for the review it was nice, with some funny zoom ins too.
Any latency if change the patch..
I don't normally like Nu-X stuff, but that multi effect sounds better than the ge150, and you seem enjoying the distortion as well 🤣
Yeah, I had a pretty good time with it! 🤘
nux mg300 vs valeton gp100 which one better?
I want to hear clean sounds!
Hey man can I use this without audio interface?
Is it true that you can't drop tune in this multieffects??
Like drop b?
How has it held up after 2 years?
That dribble AWESOME! 😂
🤷♂️ whoops lol
and how do you copy banks ?
This or the Valeton GP-100? Any views?
Can I use this on battery?
No
Would you think this would be a nice upgrade from the hd500? Or is it a downgrade? The ability to load ir's amazed me
down
Hey my man! Can that beast record directly into our smartphones using micro usb cable?
🤔 no idea... I know some of the smaller floor modelers can, but I'm not sure about this one specifically
awesome evil dead poster.
Very cool review. You do realize that the name of the effects unit is "NU-X" not "NUX" right?
Thanks. Yes I do. Funny enough, Nu-X themselves didnt say anything about it when I sent them the first cut 🤷♂️
I like nux better
@@TaylorDanley maybe they also pronous nux😂
Compare to the mooer ge150, which one better?
100%
@@TaylorDanley Which one?!?!?
👀👀👀👀 monday fellas
Maybe some additional run down on the drum samples? Or is what you showed, all that they had?
Theres not much there. Pretty much variations with the same sounds
Should I sell my ZOOM G1X Four for Nux MG-300?
