With the latest firmware, the MG30 is finally useable. When it first game out, it sounded metalic and digital. I put it away for a year. But the latest 4th firmware update is good.
Thanks for such a great review on the MG30. Yours was the first I saw. I’ve looked at others since, including Pete Thorn’s. I’m convinced - I ordered one today! I love that you included the band footage - that sealed the deal for me. I now have a bunch of pedals for sale!
Nice little demo on how this pedal works and how you use it, I think I’ll pick one up , they’re very affordable I love tube amps but this is the future I think for live gigs as these modelers keep getting better , nice job keep gigging 👍

Muito bom esse vídeo. Curti o som. Nice gig! Saudações!! 🇧🇷
Nice video! Good playing! I’m wondering when you switch between presets does the delay and reverb spillover appropriately or does it get cut off? Also can you assign multiple effects blocks to a single switch or just one effect block per switch?
Nicely done. For some reason, this one seems more intuitive to me than some of the higher priced stuff. I guess this one is somewhat limited, but like you, I want a few good presets and that should get me through the night. It sounded good at the show too. Do you run it straight through the PA and nothing else?
I liked your demo and that you took us to your gig to hear you play.😎 The music at the end of the video made me buy a few of your song on Apple Music. Best of luck , joy and prosperity to you.
Essentially you're ampless? Are you connecting the MG 30 through a mixer and then running through the PA? How does it sound when playing out compared to using the unit at home? Did you have to make adjustments to your patches volume levels? Just curious because I plan on using the MG 30 as an ampless rig.
Hey Josh, what do you suggest if a person like me needs 3 preset: clean/modulation, crunch, and lead? How did you do it with the Ctrl to switch between Scene? I've been thinking to buy MG30 but not sure if there's enough button for me LOL.
I don't think I heard you mention what you're running the unit thru when you get to the gig. Amp, mixer, power amp and cab? something spartan and simple all color and tone from the NUX? Thanks.
I just bought this unit about a week ago. Going to check it out more when I get a chance. Where do I go to get to change and customize on computer?? The Nux Website?? Or can I just change it on the unit itself??
Thanks for the demo bro, ive purchased this unit but am having an issue with the wah/volume function of the expression pedal, everytime i engage the wah and start sweeping it clicks back to volume and so forth and is very sensitive? do you have any tips? or how i could solve this issue? thanks from Australia
Hi Josh. Where did you go to actually learn how to use and configure the mg30 out of the box? Seems NUX doesn’t really offer anything in terms of a new user tutorial. Thanks,
Sir, how to connect Nux MG30 thru PC or Laptop Computer? I've already installed those quicktone editor, Drive and Firmware. But my Nux MG30 and laptop didn't connect to quicktone editor. Hope you can have a tutorial to this. Thanks.
Hi brother Same problem too.... I'm unable to connect my Laptop 💻 Windows 11 😭.... Please let me know too if you know.... @Josh How to connect MG30 to PC by installing Quicktone Editor Software & Driver, Please make a video of it as well.
May sound stupid but try a different USB cable. I read from a couple of people that their USB Cable which came with the unit didn't work for some crazy reason.
Hey Josh - quick question: Can you tell me if it's possible to load up some backing tracks directly into the MG30? i.e. if you were to play a solo gig, it would be cool to be able to have such backing tracks available right there in the same box. I know some devices like this with a looper have built-in memory to allow this feature, but i can't tell if this one does. Thanks much in advance, and sweet playing, BTW! :)
❤️frm 🇮🇳 India Sir. Im confused among Boss Gt1, Zoom G3xn, and Nux MG 30. Pls suggest the best one out of these 3. Which one has the nicest tones? Which one will b a better buy? Pls help Sir. Thnx in advance 🙏
what i really like about your way to play and improvise is that it is actually real music 💎 = (something that comes from the inside N sing) not a bunch of sterile licks almost pre digested
What do you think about the Zoom G5n. same price as mg30. I'm confused between this 2. what do you think which one has the better depth? all fx amps cabs are great in those two but I'm confused about the depth factor. I think G5n has better depth when you chug with high gains.
I used Zoom G5N for 4 years before making the switch to NUX MG30 mainly because I was BORED, yes you read it right, I was bored, LOL, and I wanted something smaller that I can carry in my gig bag. With the way digital devices are created nowadays, you can get killer sounding guitar with both, the G5N has been my go-to for live and recording situation, my pedalboard and tube amp just being left at my guitar room, that is how reliable the G5N was. The MG30 have three main things that I can consider and improvement from the G5N: 1. The ability to upload custom IR if I wanted to, but I found that I have not been using this feature, their factory default IRs are awesome. 2. the SIZE! this was one of my main considerations since I wanted to just bring my guitar gig bag and that's it. 3. The volume pedal reacts globally, if I put it at 40% for example, it affect all presets, so when I switch presets, they all giving me the 40% volume pedal, whereas with G5N, the volume pedal is part of each preset, so when you are at preset 1 and you draw back the volume pedal to let's say 50%, it will go back to 100% (or whatever you set it to) when you change to your 2nd preset, I hope you got what I mean. The MG30 drawbacks for me are: 1. The lack of flexibility compared to G5N, since it is using "effect blocks" it is not as flexible as G5N, with G5N (putting DSP capacity aside), you can use as many pedals from the same category as permitted (you have a total of 8 slots if I remember correctly). So, you can use let's say 8 Tube Screamers, or 8 chorus pedals, 2 delays, 2 drives, amp, cab, and 2 reverbs maybe? Putting DSP limit aside, G5N is pretty flexible here. 2. The volume pedal sweep is not that nice considering the size that made the volume pedal shaft shorter, so you have very limited room from 0 to 100, if you love volume swell with volume pedals, this takes some getting used to other than that, I am completely happy with my decision, it is compact, and it sounds great. G5N was a great unit, I just needed (no... I wanted, guitar players never need anything, we want everything LOL) something smaller, choose either one with better deal and you will be completely happy with either one. Last note, I used it in church as well, and in my church we used either kemper or HX Stomp because we no longer wanted to use amp, it just helped a lot with mixing. ANYWAY, ever since my G5N days, I have been abandoning the kemper and the HX Stomp everytime I play on Sunday.
Hey Josh. Sorry to bother you. Could I please ask you a quick qn? I'm doing a country tribute show atm, and I really only need 5 patches - an acoustic sim (I use a Telecaster that's got 4 acoustic modelling tones on it I can switch between), a clean patch, a crunch clean patch, a dirty patch and a big solo distortion patch - kind of like what you've done here. I've just ordered the MG30, but I've gotta get the 5 tones set up for this gig in a week's time, so I don't think I'll get time to iron it out too well.. how would you set it up to minimise button presses to move between just the 5 patches? (I'm going direct to the foh desk - no guitar amps for this gig). I like the way you did it here, but can I make 5 patches that way, or only 4 like you've done?
I regret buying this whatever eq i make the tones are absurd and unusable in a live gig, they say you have to set in the right output mode but all the output modes hugely impact the tone
Put it in studio mode if you have a combo amp, then adjust the eq by putting bass up. That should help my friend. I agree the output modes are inconsistent
With the latest firmware, the MG30 is finally useable. When it first game out, it sounded metalic and digital. I put it away for a year. But the latest 4th firmware update is good.
Great demo. The fact that you included short take from your gig using MG30 was nice addition.

Interesting how you brought us from your room to an actual gig. Would have been interesting to hear the sound from the soundboard too.
Love your guitar bag .. I wonder if I can fit my Les Paul studio on there
great demo and sound man,¿would u mind to tell me what means the "R" into the square on amp or effect setting options??thnx!!
Great demo! I have had mine for a couple of months and love it!
Thank you Ben! Hope the video was helpful!

Most people either run modelers straight through the soundboard or PA.
Man this is the only decent video for mg 30 🤧Thanks man
I feel like nux mg30 and headrush mx5 are very underrated pedals for what they offer. It sounds pretty good to me what sounds you can get out of it.
Definitely underrated and great value for the price!
@@JoshNamba Are you still using it? trying decide between the nux and the valeton gp200

Hi bro...is it use for flute...or any other wind instruments...and it has phantom power support?
Please share the settings for your patches. That's amazing.
hello do you think i should get a nux mg30 or save up instead for a more expensive unit like a headrush or save even more for like a helix or a QC?
Have you used a fractal device before? Can you make that comparison in regard to how it ‘physically’ feels to play?

Super..super procesor
I don't think I heard you mention what you're running the unit thru when you get to the gig. Amp, mixer, power amp and cab? something spartan and simple all color and tone from the NUX? Thanks.
I usually just go straight into the PA system with this pedal! 🤙🏼
Does that dotted 8th note delay patch is something you did or is that in built with it ?
I just bought this unit about a week ago. Going to check it out more when I get a chance. Where do I go to get to change and customize on computer?? The Nux Website?? Or can I just change it on the unit itself??
Where is the sound coming from ? your amplifier ?
Have you ever tried the Hotone2 ampero stomp?
Do you play separately from Maoli or do you only play with them?
How long have you been playing guitar 🎸 and with the band?
would you recommend this pedal for an electric violin ?
hi josh, how about patches compatiblity mg300 and mg30?
Have you tried the zoom g9.2tt? It has tubes but I felt latency
New sub...1.5k only...u should have 100,000!!!
Your sound are great. It seems to me your play maner looks like the playing of Jack Tammarat. Delicious
How's the unit so far? any issues after months of use?
Are you able to share the patches? Amazing!!
Great playing

On most pedals like that you can recalibrate the expression ped 🎃
Bro, what output mode you use?
Wow nice multi guitar effects bro heheh actually I wish that hopefully I had that one
Direct to PA? Or front amp or rear?
You’re going direct to house?
mg30 vs gt1 which is the best ?
