@jonesy dont be an asshole, it's a basic pronunciation (btw clear), but the syntax and vocabulary are accurate...and the demos are far above than average.
Love my NUX MG-300!! I think the coolest thing about it besides how awesome it sounds is instead of having master knobs or sliders for adjusting each effect settings they actually show each individual pedal and you adjust the settings the same way you would with a real pedal!!! I have a AmpliFire 12 and a FM3 both of these sound better and have way more adjustability especially the FM3 but I actually use the MG-300 a lot more, it's great for sitting on the couch watching a movie and noodling around BEST $150 bucks I've spent in long time!!!!
Judging by your facial expression on the sound demo, it looks like you enjoyed the tones coming out from the nux. 😉 Thanks for again for sharing this and for another definitive review! ❤️👍🏻
Leo Gibson I'm not sure how your video translates to me watching this from a laptop and headphones, but man! Those are really some of the great tones I've heard coming from a digital effects! Of course the equipment you use, your guitar tone, and the dynamics of your playing (impeccable playing, btw😉) plays a huge part in the tonal dynamics to the final mix... but it is really not a 'bad box' right there. NUX have come a long way from their initial offerings. This makes for a really good and portable gear with a price for the masses.
Thanks for keeping the unboxing towards the end and jumping quickly into the sound and functionality review at the beginning. The video format and your playing style made it very clear to judge the capability of this unit :)
@@LeoGibsonGtr Loved it! The presentation was so good that not a single minute of my time was wasted. Gonna watch your other videos for the next 1 hour.
you do such a good job with these reviews - thanks for your attention to detail, really excellent and so helpful. I recently bought an mg300 as an experiment to see if I could move away from amps and pedals to a more direct sound, and I'm seriously considering going this direction.
I came across one of your videos about a month ago and thought , who is this guy? After watching I immediately watched another and thought who is this guy lol! You are a superb guitarist and I think you have the best unbiased , honest reviews on TH-cam. Thank you so much for the amount of time , quality, and detail you put into your reviews and comparisons.

I've not listened to two of your shootouts using this unit against the Valeton and a JCM 800, and personally, I feel that the NuX MG-300 just sounds better...more 'real'. Most other digital pedalboards just sound too "digital" to my ears. Okay, I grew up playing through vintage Silvertone and Fender amps, but I'm no stuffed shirt when it comes to digital...especially for time-based effects. Thanks Leo...love your playing and your reviews.
Leo, Thanks for this review. I really like the sounds of this unit. I'm trying to make a decision on whether I spend a little more for the Boss GT-1 or get this. I haven't seen any reviews of the Boss GT--1 on your video's or if the newer technology would be better to go with, Thanks for all of your hard work.
Hi Rebecca, you are welcome! Actually I have never own the GT 1, and I think it's a pretty old unit (it should have been released in 2016): since its release, amp modeling pedalboards has progressed a lot. Therefore I prefer newer amp modelers. But please take into consideration that I have never tried the Gt1...therefore I can not make an evaluation based on personal experience. Thank you for your message!
I use a Boss GT2 as a practice device for 2 years now, and I can say that I would not trade it for anything in this price range except maybe this one. Boss has over 100 of their effects in GT1, but the amps in this are very convincing. And your playing really brings out the virtues of this unit.
muchotone After my modest opinion you don’t have to trade your GT2 with the MG300 : you could use them both serial or paralell , it gives you many possibilities also with an amp that has a fx loop 😀
Leo, I really appreciate your reviews and like your sound presentations. Thanks for that! I'm re entering guitar playing after many years and look for a multi effect pedal. Comparing Zoom G1xfour, Mooer GE150 and Nux MG300, I think the last one will make the race.
Thank you Karl, I'm really happy that you like my videos!!! If you are searching for an amp modeling pedalboard in the 150 price range, you may want to check out this video: th-cam.com/video/5F8YAarIA78/w-d-xo.html Thank you once more!!!
This thing sounded great and I agree.. Better to save on IO instead of converters. I'd much rather have good tone! I'm only going to go direct anyway, so this is perfect.. Great reviews sir!
Thank you! Yes, if I had to do a compromise...I would go with the tone. Nevertheless, the new version of the MG 300, which is the MG 400 includes also more IO... Thank you!
Another Excellent Video Mr Leo! Jose read my mind, its baffling that you don't have more subscribers than you do since you are clearly one of the best TH-cam Gear Reviewers, and amazing guitar players I have ever had the pleasure to watch. One more thing that I don't see people saying is thank you for doing your video's in English. I am guessing by your accent that you are French? Please don't take offense if I am wrong. As an American not well versed in any other languages, I want to say that I appreciate that.
Hi, thank you very much for your message that really makes me happy!!! I've promised that I will reveal my nationality when I will reach 10k subs...if ever 😊. Don't worry, I don't feel offense...and actually I feel like a simple "citizen of the world"...really...that's why I try to speak in English (I know that I need to improve it...😊). Thank you once more for your message!
@@LeoGibsonGtr You are welcome Mr Leo. I also suspect that Leo Gibson is your stage name after two of the best guitar makers in the world ;) As your real name would probably be a giveaway to your nationality, and privacy of course. Whether or not you decide to reveal it, I thank you my friend. I am used to broken English since a good majority of people in my own country who speak it as their one and only language still have trouble..lol. Plus my wife is Filipino. I suppose that makes us all citizens of the world...which was very well put sir.
As we've come to expect, another excellent demo and review by Leo! How do you like the Expression Pedal - does it work well, feel solid? It looks like a good modeler at a very reasonable price point. I am very interested to hear a tone comparison to the HX Stomp. On the NUX page, it states "In 2010 NUX introduced TSAC (True Simulation fo Analog Circuit) with the sole intention of bringing Amp Modeling to a whole new level. The DSP industry has been evolving at breakneck speed, and keeping up can be a challenge. We were impressed that a product like the Fractal® AX-FX had the foresight to use a high-definition TSAC (white-box) algorithm to do its Amp Modeling. So we took note and started development on an affordable modeler with TSAC-HD." Thanks
Hi, thank you so much!!!! Actually I have in mind some comparisons...a big one included with many modelers...If I will be able...:).... As regards the the exp pedal I think it's in line with a 150€ units...:) ... Thank you for your message!!!
Nice review again Leo! I was wondering if maybe you can review Firehawk Fx and Amplifi fx 100 from Line 6 and using frfr? You're more 'in depth' when it comes to reviews plus bonus using it on solos and rhythm tracks.. Looking forward to seeing those.. Thanks and congratulations on 5k subs!
Thank you Nathan, your support and appreciation really means a lot to me!!! I will check out the products you suggest...my only problema is that the channel is still not big enough to receive everything I want to free...Thank you for your patience and comprehension!
@@LeoGibsonGtr for home recording and gigging as an aficionado level what over all multi fx unit you have tested what do you recommend best value for the money?
@@LeoGibsonGtr well. I'm not sure. The least possible but enough to get a decent sound. Something in the low to medium range. Sorry for not answering directly
Hi, thank you, really appreciated! As regards the Quad Cortex, I'm in the waiting list (first group as I ordered back in jan), but I've received and email 2 days ago informing me that there are delays and they will start shipping in October. Let's wait...
Thanks very much for this good review Leo. Now I understand why this little cheap box can sound so good and plays very dynamically !! I fully agree the focus on sound quality and dynamics is much more important than 100 amps and 1000 effects and 10.000 presets 😀 Rather 20 killersounds than a lot of unusable shit ( i bought a podgo which I send back because it had to be booted twice very often and it had many unsable presets and amps , though it had some very nich reverb and delay effects and other effects) I will buy the NUX and I have already a Zoom A1 Four acoustic which I will combine with the Nux and my Rivera Chubster 25 amp and save a lot of money compared to the PODGO. Very very convincing amp sounds from this box ❤️
Hi René, thank you for sharing your opinions and experience with us! Thank you also for your appreciation of the review that is really important for me!
Thank You! Awesome Video and Most Complete Information! .. And Really Great Playing! And Your English Is Just Fine! Better Than Me Trying To Speak Your Language!😶👍🎼
Hi, I do agree, the price is pretty fair. The all plastic design allow NUX to save money, investing them in components that matter for the tone. Thank you for your message!
Hi Leo, I have a question. Is it possible to turn on/turn off some effects directly from the foot switches? Let's suppose I'm playing a song and when the guitar solo starts I need to put a boost and a distortion, then turning them off again.
Hi Juan, I was not able to do it. As far as I know you have to do two different presets to do what you want, Obviously if someone else has better info, please drop us a message!
Excellent demo song and review! It sounded a little bit noisy when you were switching around from high gain patch to patch, but otherwise great tones for that price range. Looks like it could even compete with the POD Go for less than half the price. God bless and rock on 😎🎸👍
Can you save the presents you create in the Editor? I mean can it be saved into the pedal unit so I don’t have to go again into the Editor on my computer? Thanks.
I love your videos! Thank you Leo! So helpful.. SO HELPFUL. You must be a man possessed by guitar demons to put so much work into these videos. I hope you are getting paid well. 👍 Do you ever leave the studio??!! 😆😆
Thank you, I'm super happy you like the videos!!! Well...actually I'm not paid so well...but I hope the channel will grow...and your feedback and support really push me forward! Yes...I live the studio for gigging or for holidays...😊
Hi, I have not done a direct head to head sound comparison, so I don't know. What I can say is that the MG 300 is newer, it has better converters and newer algorithms, therefore on paper it should be better....but I'm not sure, not having done a direct test.
Hi Leo, thank you for this wonderful video. Currently i`m playing a Line6 Pod Go, but this unit has some issues and i have to boot it often to get it work okay. Is it possible to tap the delay tempo on the MG 300? Is there a stompbox mode? Thanks so much, greatings from germany
Hi, thank you very much! Yes, there is a button called "tap button" with which you can tap tempo. As far as I know there is NOT a stomp mode. Thank you for your questions!
Hi Leo! great test as usual! Could you please help me in understanding if this effect unit can manage more than One modulation effect at once? For instance a chorus + phaser + tremolo? In the sounds you created i saw the mod block with a chorus but could have you added a phaser by any chance? I am asking because i love mod effects and i am used to Dial with them adding one to the other and so on. Thanks and keep on doing such those great videos👍👍👍👍
Hi Leo, great video! I am looking for a pedalboard for home practice. In your opinion, is it better to get an NUX MG-300 or to spend a little more and get a MOOER GE 200?
Hi Alejando, thank you so much, your feedback and appreciation is really important for me!!! Well, actually this is a pretty hard question to answer. They both are great units for the price. I would just say that I love the profiling procedure of the Mooer, that allows us to make an amp profile with the GE Labs and to download profiles done by other guitarists from the Mooer web site. On the other had the NUX has some great amps, like the JCM 800 or the Deluxe reverb and a very nice computer interface... So, I would say that if you want to profile your amp or you like the idea of downloading profiles from the Mooer web site, let's go with the Mooer. If you like the NUX computer interface, you want a smaller and cheaper unit, but with some great amp sounds, lets go with the NUX. Thank you for your question!
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?
I'm sorry to bother you. I bought the Nux mg300, can I ask you something? I have a Vox AC 30, I tried disabling the NUX amplifier to use only the effects and plugging it into the input of the amplifier and it does not sound very good. Then plug it in for the return, activate the amplifier of the NUX and deactivate the screen and it sounded much better, what do you say, does it go that way? The question is whether or not I have to leave the amplifier of the NUX activated, thanks! Ahh when I did this I put it in the mode so that it comes out from behind the amp, thanks !!!
Hi, if you put the NUX in the fx return, you are basically using the NUX as a preamplifier. It is a way to do it, even if in the amp block of the NUX you can not disable the power amp. You can also use the NUX in the input of the amp, but you have to disable the amp and also the cab simulation. Thank you for your message!
Hi, actually no. An amp is divided into two section, pre amp and power amp. For instance in a tube amp the preamp is where the 12ax valves are, and the power amp is where the 6l6 or EL34 valves are. I hope it helps Thank you!
Hi Claudio, thank you, really appreciated! Well, it would be a good idea, but unfortunately I don't have the MG 200...maybe I will get a second hand occasion. Thank you for your suggestion!
Hi leo I'm looking for buy a multi fx padel & my budget is near about 160 bucks.. Which one is best at this range. I went to do some pub shows and recording with my device.. Thank you❤
Hi, I would suggest you to check out this video, where I've compared budget amp modeling pedalboard: th-cam.com/video/5F8YAarIA78/w-d-xo.html Here you can find everything I think about these pedalboards. Thank you!
Wow. nice video. Could I use the MG300 as just a pedal for recording when I play volume swell or wha wha in a DAW like Logic or Cubase? I would like to re-amp with the Guitar rig (Plug-in) also.
Hi, great video! I don't have an amp ( can not afford it lol) Can I use Nux mg300 as a soundcard then have output as headphones or speakers to listen to the guitar sound? If it works, does it sound good compared to having amp as output?
Hi, thank you, I'm happy that you like the video! Yes you can, connecting it to your computer via usb. Yes, it sounds pretty good for the money Thank you for your question!
Leo, first of all. THANK YOU for your videos, i really like the way you explain and teach. Leo, i love the NUX sound i think is nice, just like Mooer GE150 except the GE150 sounds a little plastic to me (No pun intended) But i'm worried about the NUX... Is not STEREO! And is not HP Out. Does that affect a lot? For example when recording with an audio interface to a daw?
THANK YOU SO MUCH LEO! That would be the only reason i 'd doubt on buying it. Wel, yes, of course is all Plastic. But oh well... must be careful i guess.
Hi, I'm happy to have been of some help!!! You can record via USB if you don't want to use the HP out for recording. If you want a more robust chassis, you can go with the NUX MG 30. Thank you once more!
Hi, I don't think it is possible...even if I'm not 100% sure. If someone has better info, please drop us a message! Sorry for late answer and thank you for your message!
@@bag_spras Hi Bagus, I can tell you now that it does have a detuner, 100% sure. I've watched more videos, and have seen it multiple times now. It's one of the pedals in the "mod" section of the chain👍
Hi Leo, as usual very informative video. Great!! A question, how about in terms of 'feel' with this modeller? Because sound quality of amp modellers these days are mostly impressive, but still lack of 'feel' IMHO
Thank you!! It's pretty hard to give a "final" answer to your question, I would say that the feel is right, also considering the price of this unit. In this video maybe you can find more info: th-cam.com/video/NAcO3MZ43N4/w-d-xo.html Thank you for your message!!!
Thanks for this great videos. I've just got a question that might be a game changer in my final decision. Does the expression pedal work well as a wah or is just for volume and mix effects? Thank you
Do you suggest this pedalboard for a live setup with no amp? I plan on buying a fx pedalboard like this, plug it straight to the mixer and gig with a band.
Hi, all these pedalboards are ok for live gigging going into the mixer. Obviously the more you spend the more possibilities / options you have. Thank you for your message!
Hey Leo! Does the NUX MG 300 have the ability to connect to a computer and software that allows to control it from the computer screen, and not small buttons on the body?
Hi Felipe, I did a video about latency (th-cam.com/video/BpEgHGKPOpA/w-d-xo.html) that I will update when more modelers will get firmware updates and of course including QC. For me latency is not an issue having played for a long time Midi guitar that force you to adapt your playing to the latency...and I have no problem in playing bot FM3 e QC. Thank you for your question!
Ciao Leo! Scusa la domanda banale ma sono neofita al 300% 😅 Per chi come me non può sfruttare l’ampli per lo studio, posso sfruttarlo con le cuffie/app? Perché il prezzo è veramente interessante, fino ad oggi mi era stato consigliato il PodGo di Line6... ( so che è un’altra fascia di prezzo ) Se puoi consigliarmi ti ringrazio in anticipo! 😁
Thank for yoru great review as always. What is the output on this that we are hearing? Direct from the pedal or line out from your amp/speaker or amp/speaker mic'ed to your recording software? Also, for such pedals, is it advisable to use this multi-fx unit along with the built-in effects of an amplispeaker combo like for example the Boss Katana? Or in on in that case it be better to just use the amplispeaker as a powered speaker and let all sound processing comes from the multi-fx? I currently have Zoom G1Xon and Blackstar ID Core V2 amplispeaker. I am thinking of upgrading to Mooer GE150 or NUX MG300 multi-fx pedals or forget about mutli-fx units and just buy Boss Katana mk-2 (not thinking much about live playing now!). Of course, both a new multi-fx pedal and Boss Katana would be ideal but that is over my current budget. Your views would be highly appreciated. In your presonal opinion, mainly in terms of quality of tones, which would you recommend NUX MG 300 or Mooer GE150?
Hi, we are hearing the MG 300 connected via USB to the computer. In my opinion the best way to use these units is direct to a mixing desk or to a FRFR speaker. As regards the comparison with the GE 150: I'm working on a specific video to address this question,. Thank you for your question!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Hi Leo, do you think the Nux GM300 has good audio interface sound and capabilities? I'm interested in this multi fx, but I also own some plugins and I would like to know if I would get a clear signal with acceptable latency if I use just the NUX as a USB interface ... I'd be using it with headphones all the time, by the way...
Hi Leo, congratulations on your very comprehensive demo. I'd like to ask you a question. Is there a way to output the Nux M300 with stereo effects on a stereo amp like the Roland JC40? Maybe using the headphone output? Thanks again for the nice presentation.
Hi, thank you Frank! Yes from the headpone out, for instance with a cable that has a stereo jack in one side (that should be inserted in the NUX) and two mono jacks in the other side. Thank you for your question!
Leo Gibson - Hi Leo, thank you very much for your reply. Very interesting. I'm about to buy the Jazz Chorus, but the JC 22 ... which has 6.5 inch cones ... so it comes very close to the flat response of a full range ... and I think I'll make another purchase at the same time .. . 😋
I LOVE LEO'S videos. For best comparison and choice making, sincere review without bias or sugar coating of musical equipment, you need Leo's reviews

Another Excellent Video Mr Leo! Jose read my mind, its baffling that you don't have more subscribers than you do since you are clearly one of the best TH-cam Gear Reviewers, and amazing guitar players I have ever had the pleasure to watch. One more thing that I don't see people saying is thank you for doing your video's in English. I am guessing by your accent that you are French? Please don't take offense if I am wrong. As an American not well versed in any other languages, I want to say that I appreciate that.
Hi, thank you very much for your message that really makes me happy!!! I've promised that I will reveal my nationality when I will reach 10k subs...if ever 😊. Don't worry, I don't feel offense...and actually I feel like a simple "citizen of the world"...really...that's why I try to speak in English (I know that I need to improve it...😊).
Thank you once more for your message!
@@LeoGibsonGtr You are welcome Mr Leo. I also suspect that Leo Gibson is your stage name after two of the best guitar makers in the world ;) As your real name would probably be a giveaway to your nationality, and privacy of course. Whether or not you decide to reveal it, I thank you my friend. I am used to broken English since a good majority of people in my own country who speak it as their one and only language still have trouble..lol. Plus my wife is Filipino. I suppose that makes us all citizens of the world...which was very well put sir.
I see your vacation did not last much but you came back with a great song Leo! Make an album please
Hi, thank you, when you like my music... I'm happy! Sooner or later I will do an album..currently the YT channel is absorbing all my energies...
It sounds very good on my smartphone.
Yes it does! Thank you for your message!
Great again! Thanks a lot!
You are welcome! Thank you for your message and appreciation!!
Fantastic review, and great, tasty, playing. Subscribed!
Thank you! Your sub really means a lot to me!!
As we've come to expect, another excellent demo and review by Leo! How do you like the Expression Pedal - does it work well, feel solid? It looks like a good modeler at a very reasonable price point. I am very interested to hear a tone comparison to the HX Stomp. On the NUX page, it states "In 2010 NUX introduced TSAC (True Simulation fo Analog Circuit) with the sole intention of bringing Amp Modeling to a whole new level. The DSP industry has been evolving at breakneck speed, and keeping up can be a challenge. We were impressed that a product like the Fractal® AX-FX had the foresight to use a high-definition TSAC (white-box) algorithm to do its Amp Modeling. So we took note and started development on an affordable modeler with TSAC-HD." Thanks
Hi, thank you so much!!!! Actually I have in mind some comparisons...a big one included with many modelers...If I will be able...:).... As regards the the exp pedal I think it's in line with a 150€ units...:) ... Thank you for your message!!!
Great video. Great song. Awesome mix.
Thank you Michael, really really appreciated!!!
Nice review again Leo! I was wondering if maybe you can review Firehawk Fx and Amplifi fx 100 from Line 6 and using frfr? You're more 'in depth' when it comes to reviews plus bonus using it on solos and rhythm tracks.. Looking forward to seeing those.. Thanks and congratulations on 5k subs!
Thank you Nathan, your support and appreciation really means a lot to me!!! I will check out the products you suggest...my only problema is that the channel is still not big enough to receive everything I want to free...Thank you for your patience and comprehension!
Amazing review Leo!!!!! An small great machine with a really cheap price ;)
Thank you, I'm super happy that you like the video! Yes, the value for money is pretty high...
@@LeoGibsonGtr 💪😉
Leo, thanks for your great videos.
Hi Humberto, you are welcome!!! I'm happy that you enjoyed the video!!!
Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtr for home recording and gigging as an aficionado level what over all multi fx unit you have tested what do you recommend best value for the money?
Hi, what is the price point you have in mind? Thank you.
@@LeoGibsonGtr well. I'm not sure. The least possible but enough to get a decent sound. Something in the low to medium range. Sorry for not answering directly
@@LeoGibsonGtr what opinion do you have about the Boss GT1?
Very nice sounds. About your playing I am running out of words to describe how good is it...
Thank you so much!!!...and please keep on commenting my playing ... 😊😊😊😊
My favourite review channel 🙂. Really not bad this little unit. Btw...Have you heard, the first Quad Cortex units will ship, soon...! 😉
Hi, thank you, really appreciated! As regards the Quad Cortex, I'm in the waiting list (first group as I ordered back in jan), but I've received and email 2 days ago informing me that there are delays and they will start shipping in October. Let's wait...
That demo needs 2 B a single!, Rockin!
😊 Thank you, I'm happy you like it!!
Tutto bello, a cominciare dalla demo song, fino ai suoni!
Grazie Roberto! Sempre commenti che mi fanno molto piacere!
Che manina...e che gusto!!! Great job mate ;)
Grazie, Thank you marco!!!
Thanks very much for this good review Leo. Now I understand why this little cheap box can sound so good and plays very dynamically !! I fully agree the focus on sound quality and dynamics is much more important than 100 amps and 1000 effects and 10.000 presets 😀 Rather 20 killersounds than a lot of unusable shit ( i bought a podgo which I send back because it had to be booted twice very often and it had many unsable presets and amps , though it had some very nich reverb and delay effects and other effects) I will buy the NUX and I have already a Zoom A1 Four acoustic which I will combine with the Nux and my Rivera Chubster 25 amp and save a lot of money compared to the PODGO. Very very convincing amp sounds from this box ❤️
Hi René, thank you for sharing your opinions and experience with us!
Thank you also for your appreciation of the review that is really important for me!
Thank you for review
You are welcome!!!
Thank You! Awesome Video and Most Complete Information! .. And Really Great Playing! And Your English Is Just Fine! Better Than Me Trying To Speak Your Language!😶👍🎼
Thank you, your compliments really mean a lot to me! Thank you also for the nice words about my english...:) ...
This sounds so good! Amazing for the price.
Hi, I do agree, the price is pretty fair. The all plastic design allow NUX to save money, investing them in components that matter for the tone. Thank you for your message!
Very good! Bella recensione e buona soluzione in budget questa MG-300: poche cose, ma quelle giuste.
Grazie mille Luca! Esatto...poche cose fatte bene!
Enjoy your videos Leo!
Thank you Kevin!!!! Really really appreciated!!!
Great review! How do you think the Mg-300 compares to the Ampero sound wise? Which is easier to get good tones from? I play both clean and metal.
Hi Martin, I have not tried yet..it's a good suggestion....I need to find the time to work about it! Thank you!
Hi Leo, I have a question. Is it possible to turn on/turn off some effects directly from the foot switches? Let's suppose I'm playing a song and when the guitar solo starts I need to put a boost and a distortion, then turning them off again.
Hi Juan, I was not able to do it. As far as I know you have to do two different presets to do what you want, Obviously if someone else has better info, please drop us a message!
Excellent demo song and review! It sounded a little bit noisy when you were switching around from high gain patch to patch, but otherwise great tones for that price range. Looks like it could even compete with the POD Go for less than half the price. God bless and rock on 😎🎸👍
Thank you, your compliments are important for me! Thank you also for sharing your opinion!
Can you save the presents you create in the Editor? I mean can it be saved into the pedal unit so I don’t have to go again into the Editor on my computer? Thanks.
Yes, you can.
Thank you for your question!
Que grande!!!!
Thank you so much!!!
I love your videos!
Thank you Leo!
So helpful.. SO HELPFUL.
You must be a man possessed by guitar demons to put so much work into these videos. I hope you are getting paid well. 👍
Do you ever leave the studio??!! 😆😆
Thank you, I'm super happy you like the videos!!! Well...actually I'm not paid so well...but I hope the channel will grow...and your feedback and support really push me forward!
Yes...I live the studio for gigging or for holidays...😊
I love your accent. Subbed!
Thank you so much! You subscription really means a lot to me! ... I'm happy that you like the accent!!
I have considered gettin myself a mg300, waiting for it to come in the mail soon. Thanks!!
You are welcome!
seems like for 60/70/80 - classic rock lovers :), nice video man !!
Thank you, appreciated!
@@LeoGibsonGtr anytime bro !!, keep uploading and inspiring others.
Nice demo, i just wondering NUX MG-300 and ZOOM G1x Four which one is better sound.?
Hi, I have not done a direct head to head sound comparison, so I don't know. What I can say is that the MG 300 is newer, it has better converters and newer algorithms, therefore on paper it should be better....but I'm not sure, not having done a direct test.
Hi Leo, thank you for this wonderful video. Currently i`m playing a Line6 Pod Go, but this unit has some issues and i have to boot it often to get it work okay. Is it possible to tap the delay tempo on the MG 300? Is there a stompbox mode? Thanks so much, greatings from germany
Hi, thank you very much! Yes, there is a button called "tap button" with which you can tap tempo. As far as I know there is NOT a stomp mode. Thank you for your questions!
For stompbox mode, check the valetone gp 100
Thank u SOO Much!!
You are very welcome!
Your playing was great as usual.
Thank you David!!!!
Hi Leo! great test as usual! Could you please help me in understanding if this effect unit can manage more than One modulation effect at once? For instance a chorus + phaser + tremolo? In the sounds you created i saw the mod block with a chorus but could have you added a phaser by any chance? I am asking because i love mod effects and i am used to Dial with them adding one to the other and so on. Thanks and keep on doing such those great videos👍👍👍👍
Hi Leo, great video!
I am looking for a pedalboard for home practice. In your opinion, is it better to get an NUX MG-300 or to spend a little more and get a MOOER GE 200?
Hi Alejando, thank you so much, your feedback and appreciation is really important for me!!!
Well, actually this is a pretty hard question to answer. They both are great units for the price. I would just say that I love the profiling procedure of the Mooer, that allows us to make an amp profile with the GE Labs and to download profiles done by other guitarists from the Mooer web site. On the other had the NUX has some great amps, like the JCM 800 or the Deluxe reverb and a very nice computer interface... So, I would say that if you want to profile your amp or you like the idea of downloading profiles from the Mooer web site, let's go with the Mooer. If you like the NUX computer interface, you want a smaller and cheaper unit, but with some great amp sounds, lets go with the NUX.
Thank you for your question!
Hi Leo, thanks to you for the quick reply. I think I will take the NUX when it becomes available again.
Grazie di nuovo e complimenti per i video
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?
I'm sorry to bother you. I bought the Nux mg300, can I ask you something? I have a Vox AC 30, I tried disabling the NUX amplifier to use only the effects and plugging it into the input of the amplifier and it does not sound very good. Then plug it in for the return, activate the amplifier of the NUX and deactivate the screen and it sounded much better, what do you say, does it go that way? The question is whether or not I have to leave the amplifier of the NUX activated, thanks! Ahh when I did this I put it in the mode so that it comes out from behind the amp, thanks !!!
Hi, if you put the NUX in the fx return, you are basically using the NUX as a preamplifier. It is a way to do it, even if in the amp block of the NUX you can not disable the power amp. You can also use the NUX in the input of the amp, but you have to disable the amp and also the cab simulation.
Thank you for your message!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Ok, last question and I don't bother anymore when you say "the power amplifier" you mean the cab, right? Thanks a lot!!!!!
Hi, actually no. An amp is divided into two section, pre amp and power amp. For instance in a tube amp the preamp is where the 12ax valves are, and the power amp is where the 6l6 or EL34 valves are. I hope it helps
Thank you!
Can you use the pitch bender to tune half step or whole step down?
Between Nux MG300 and Ampero One, which one do you think that can achieve better simulation of SRV sound? Thanks
Hi Leo! great review as always; what about this unit in comparison with the mg200? sound quality, of course
Hi Claudio, thank you, really appreciated! Well, it would be a good idea, but unfortunately I don't have the MG 200...maybe I will get a second hand occasion. Thank you for your suggestion!
I wanted to ask if the MG-300 could be powered purely through the USB port? - or is the AC adapter a must?
Hi, it is not possible as far as I know. If someone has better info, please drop us a message!
Thank you!
Hi leo I'm looking for buy a multi fx padel & my budget is near about 160 bucks.. Which one is best at this range. I went to do some pub shows and recording with my device.. Thank you❤
Hi, I would suggest you to check out this video, where I've compared budget amp modeling pedalboard: th-cam.com/video/5F8YAarIA78/w-d-xo.html
Here you can find everything I think about these pedalboards.
Thank you!
Buonasera....si equivale al Valeton 100 nel complesso? Quali mi consigli tra i due?Grazie
Ciao Iacopo, trovi la mia opinione qui: th-cam.com/video/5F8YAarIA78/w-d-xo.html
Grazie del messaggio!
Hello Leo! Great video. Can you tell me if the tail of a delay remains sounding when changing presets (from a preset with to a preset without delay)?
Hi Gustavo....I don't remember...I have to check out...in the meantime, if someone knows, please drop us a message!
Wow. nice video. Could I use the MG300 as just a pedal for recording when I play volume swell or wha wha in a DAW like Logic or Cubase? I would like to re-amp with the Guitar rig (Plug-in) also.
Hi, great video!
I don't have an amp ( can not afford it lol)
Can I use Nux mg300 as a soundcard then have output as headphones or speakers to listen to the guitar sound?
If it works, does it sound good compared to having amp as output?
Hi, thank you, I'm happy that you like the video! Yes you can, connecting it to your computer via usb.
Yes, it sounds pretty good for the money
Thank you for your question!
Super tasty into song and that solo 😍👌🌹
Thank you, really appreciated!!!
Leo, first of all. THANK YOU for your videos, i really like the way you explain and teach. Leo, i love the NUX sound i think is nice, just like Mooer GE150 except the GE150 sounds a little plastic to me (No pun intended) But i'm worried about the NUX... Is not STEREO! And is not HP Out. Does that affect a lot? For example when recording with an audio interface to a daw?
THANK YOU SO MUCH LEO! That would be the only reason i 'd doubt on buying it. Wel, yes, of course is all Plastic. But oh well... must be careful i guess.
Hi, I'm happy to have been of some help!!!
You can record via USB if you don't want to use the HP out for recording.
If you want a more robust chassis, you can go with the NUX MG 30.
Thank you once more!
Can you change guitar tuning digitally (like Digitech Drop) in the Nux MG-300?
Hi, I don't think it is possible...even if I'm not 100% sure. If someone has better info, please drop us a message!
Sorry for late answer and thank you for your message!
Yes, it has a detuner in it according to another video I watched. I'll know for sure in a couple days when it shows up.
@@LeoGibsonGtr would love that feature to be on board. Thanks for the reply!
@@RADERFPV wow glad you've already made your purchase. It'd be very nice of you if you found out whether it's there or not. Thanks tho!
@@bag_spras Hi Bagus, I can tell you now that it does have a detuner, 100% sure. I've watched more videos, and have seen it multiple times now. It's one of the pedals in the "mod" section of the chain👍
Hi Leo, as usual very informative video. Great!!
A question, how about in terms of 'feel' with this modeller? Because sound quality of amp modellers these days are mostly impressive, but still lack of 'feel' IMHO
Thank you!! It's pretty hard to give a "final" answer to your question, I would say that the feel is right, also considering the price of this unit. In this video maybe you can find more info: th-cam.com/video/NAcO3MZ43N4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for your message!!!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thanks for you video. Just bought and tried it. It is sound amazing for it's price !!
@@fadjar_rama Hi, I do agree, thank you for letting me know!
Thanks for this great videos. I've just got a question that might be a game changer in my final decision. Does the expression pedal work well as a wah or is just for volume and mix effects? Thank you
Hi, yes, it works also for wah.
Thank you for your question!
Do you suggest this pedalboard for a live setup with no amp? I plan on buying a fx pedalboard like this, plug it straight to the mixer and gig with a band.
Hi, all these pedalboards are ok for live gigging going into the mixer. Obviously the more you spend the more possibilities / options you have.
Thank you for your message!
Hey Leo! Does the NUX MG 300 have the ability to connect to a computer and software that allows to control it from the computer screen, and not small buttons on the body?
Yes, it has. The software is pretty nice...
Thank you for your message!
Is there any latency between the playing and the sound using this type of modeler? Thanks
Hi Felipe, I did a video about latency (th-cam.com/video/BpEgHGKPOpA/w-d-xo.html) that I will update when more modelers will get firmware updates and of course including QC.
For me latency is not an issue having played for a long time Midi guitar that force you to adapt your playing to the latency...and I have no problem in playing bot FM3 e QC.
Thank you for your question!
Ciao Leo!
Scusa la domanda banale ma sono neofita al 300% 😅
Per chi come me non può sfruttare l’ampli per lo studio, posso sfruttarlo con le cuffie/app?
Perché il prezzo è veramente interessante, fino ad oggi mi era stato consigliato il PodGo di Line6...
( so che è un’altra fascia di prezzo )
Se puoi consigliarmi ti ringrazio in anticipo! 😁
Ciao Giuseppe, si puoi usarlo con le cuffie! Bhè è un bel risparmi rispetto al POD GO e second me i suoni del MG 300 sono buoni. Grazie del messaggio!
do you recommend firmware upgrade to the unit? i bought it last week...thx
Hi, yes. It is better to update the firmware. Thank you for your question!
Thank for yoru great review as always. What is the output on this that we are hearing? Direct from the pedal or line out from your amp/speaker or amp/speaker mic'ed to your recording software?
Also, for such pedals, is it advisable to use this multi-fx unit along with the built-in effects of an amplispeaker combo like for example the Boss Katana? Or in on in that case it be better to just use the amplispeaker as a powered speaker and let all sound processing comes from the multi-fx? I currently have Zoom G1Xon and Blackstar ID Core V2 amplispeaker. I am thinking of upgrading to Mooer GE150 or NUX MG300 multi-fx pedals or forget about mutli-fx units and just buy Boss Katana mk-2 (not thinking much about live playing now!). Of course, both a new multi-fx pedal and Boss Katana would be ideal but that is over my current budget. Your views would be highly appreciated.
In your presonal opinion, mainly in terms of quality of tones, which would you recommend NUX MG 300 or Mooer GE150?
Hi, we are hearing the MG 300 connected via USB to the computer.
In my opinion the best way to use these units is direct to a mixing desk or to a FRFR speaker. As regards the comparison with the GE 150: I'm working on a specific video to address this question,.
Thank you for your question!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thanks for your reply - really appreciate it!
You are welcome!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Hi Leo, do you think the Nux GM300 has good audio interface sound and capabilities? I'm interested in this multi fx, but I also own some plugins and I would like to know if I would get a clear signal with acceptable latency if I use just the NUX as a USB interface ...
I'd be using it with headphones all the time, by the way...
Hi Leo, congratulations on your very comprehensive demo. I'd like to ask you a question. Is there a way to output the Nux M300 with stereo effects on a stereo amp like the Roland JC40?
Maybe using the headphone output?
Thanks again for the nice presentation.
Hi, thank you Frank! Yes from the headpone out, for instance with a cable that has a stereo jack in one side (that should be inserted in the NUX) and two mono jacks in the other side.
Thank you for your question!
Leo Gibson - Hi Leo, thank you very much for your reply. Very interesting. I'm about to buy the Jazz Chorus, but the JC 22 ... which has 6.5 inch cones ... so it comes very close to the flat response of a full range ... and I think I'll make another purchase at the same time .. . 😋
Hi Frank, you are welcome!!! thank you for letting me know!!!
Leo Gibson Hi Leo, tank you!
At the end of the day, it turns out you can make professional level recordings with a $150 modeller.
😀👍
