I like the lite display. Zoom gon was rated no 1 in reviews but I like to see my display

[@gearfacts]

The display is about the same level of detail as the Zoom but seeing it in colour does help. Gearfacts

[@Curt-0001]

I've had the Zoom pedal before, and have just purchased this one. It seems to have all the features, a better display, more knobs/easier controls, and a wah pedal. All for about the same price. Zoom is still a decent pedal though

[@bauermobiletoolsystmfabrct8686]

@@Curt-0001 Does this Nux Mg100 have compatible software or app? I think the Zoom does

[@dalealanbryant7062]

Very helpful; however, it was not possible to see which knobs you were turning to get to the different effects cabinets amps, etc. Also you mentioned that one effect was connected to the pedal, but did not describe how to get there. I just bought one of these units, which came with manual, but the manual is not clear on results of various settings. If you could do another video with a wider field of view to include knob selection, that would be great!

[@gearfacts]

Fair point, the knobs were indeed out of picture as I used them. Basically they correspond with what's on the screen - if there are three knobs visible then they'll respond to the three physical knobs as if the picture was the actual pedal. It feels un-natural, for sure. As for assigning the expression pedal, I have to admit I can't remember as this video is from a long time ago and I don't have the pedal anymore. My strategy was always just to find a similar patch to what I wanted, and edit from there. Sorry I couldn't be more help than that! :)

[@umartariq7308]

Hellow! I have a question. Can we make a priority list of two to three effects that we want to use in a single song? Like for instance can we go to 7d from 1c straight away and then to 5a and tgen come back to 1c all by simply a click of toe? Can we simply cut the bowing down part and adjusting the tone with the knob when we are on a stage and only one guitar is being played and we can't afford to lose time of adjustment of new effect?

[@gearfacts]

The only answer is 'no' I'm afraid. All the patches are laid out in sequence, so you have to arrange your sounds in order, right next to each other. Sorry! Gearfacts

[@umartariq7308]

Gearfacts ooops, so this reduces its on stage effectiveness big time, don't you think? And thanks for ypur reply :)

[@gearfacts]

Well I don't know about 'big time' but yes I agree there is an issue there. I think guitarists who have this concern are more likely to choose a unit that has more pedal switches on it. My favourites are the Line 6 PodXT and the Boss ME-8B. And you're most welcome for the reply, it's good to get comments that discuss a valid point :)

Hello Gearfacts, I have one final question. You allready helped me a lot! I subscribed to your beautifull channel! My question is can i switch with my feet between clean and distortion channel? This pedal is my first pedal and I am going to order it from China.

[@gearfacts]

Happy to help out! Switching between clean and distortion requires setting up two almost identical patches side by side (patches 12 and 13, for example). One with the right amount of distortion and one with the right amount of 'clean'. Most other effects in each patch should remain pretty much the same, to keep it sounding consistent. When the two consecutaive patches are set up you can just switch between them using the left/right pedals. You can't switch distortion on/off within a single patch unless you are in edit mode and you use your fingers to operate the buttons, which isn't really practical. Thanks again for watching :)

[@NealJett]

@@gearfacts Hey! What do you mean by left/right pedals? I only see one wah pedal on the right. Also to switch between clean and distorted, I would just press down the wah pedal? Wouldn't it do wah or volume instead? Or do you mean to press down the fat square button on the right to switch to the clean preset you created next to your distorted preset? Thanks alot!

Also will I be able to pull it off on a gig?

[@gearfacts]

For classic sounds I think the Nux is better tbh. A lot of people will argue but frankly I thought this pedal was amazing for its price. It's just under-sized and ugly.

G'day mate. I got one of these for $70 at Aldi..how do you bypass it? You can bypass via the tuner but that crap.

The only way I know to bypass is by setting all the effects to "off" then saving that as a patch just for bypass. It's not a perfect solution, but the MG-100 isn't really designed to be perfect haha. Good deal for $70 though, definitely. Thanks for watching Gearfacts :)

The 355 is more "serious" I think. The Nux is more casual and fun, more 'untamed' if you like. Depends if you are a guitarist who wants to create 'prefect' tone (Digitech) or a guitarist who just likes to turn it up and have a wild time (Nux)

[@rhcppetar95]

Its better then g1x but is it better then g1xon?

[@gearfacts]

Well the G1xon has the clear advantage of the expression pedal. The sound is still more organic on the Nux but the G1xon is probably more fun and creative for most players.
