Nux MG30 Footswitch | HOW TO SETUP

[@oyobass]

No one else is doing this kind of deep dive into the really useful stuff in such an understandable way. Most "walkthrough" videos are guys or gals just going through factory presets while shredding. That is nice and all, but I really learn something from you. Keep up the good work!

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thank you very much. I appreciate it

Very simple explanation on how to set the MG-30's footswitch up. Now I'm going to have a play with it. Love your videos so far. As other's have said, the easy to follow detail you go into these reviews and tips is on another level. Keep up the great content!

Straight forward and to the point. I just bought one of these units and your videos have been the most helpful. P. S. The audio levels are a bit low and they dip at important moments sometimes. Not a criticism, just a note.

that's a very good explained, deatailed video! may I ask two questions although concerning the looper? 1. is it possible to save on the MG30 several loops (in oder to fire up different song parts)? 2. if yes, would it be possible to dial into these several parts via the separate pedal? thanks for your thoughts, greetings from wolf

Hi friend, a question, ¿can I configure the NMP-2 to be able to control the CTRL function of the NUX MG30? Or what other wired footswitch would work for that? thank you

[@SerEmSerOficial]

Great vídeo! Can I switch the bank with this Nmp2? (I mean switch from 1A to 2A)

[@markquiroz3460]

Great Video and overview....My question is, will it also work with my Digitech Trio+ Band in a Box Foot Pedal to help go through my sequences or parts etc?

[@ThePedalGuy]

Thanks. I don’t think that will work as the FS3X is a three footswitch pedal.

Hi, I have a problem with the NMP, when I plug it into the MG30 I cannot use the switch A. Only the B is working. Where am I wrong?

[@antoniospasaro4017]

I solved ...did not use a TRS cable so just one switch was working

[@gifted704]

​@@antoniospasaro4017I am also facing the same problem here bro

[@paulloh9090]

I having same problem

[@gorimus]

One more thing. Thanks for the detailed video. I was wondering if it would be possible to assign NMP-2 with A and B to bank up and down and the footswitches on the pedal from left to right assigned to change patches, ie, 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D (double press control switch). So when I press B, then 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D are available, and so on. This would be much better for a live situation.

[@WahyuEPNgeYoutube]

thanks ... finally I know the function. it's just that I have 2 digital effects pedals of different brands. and I will still use it, because these 2 effects have a sound character that I like. I think the tool is for setting the use of 2 different digital effects.

[@ThePedalGuy]

Glad to help

[@thomaschui6247]

Great video. I would like to ask if it is possible to assign the presets to the onboard footswitches and the NMP2, so that I can switch between different sounds during livegigs?

Haven't tried that yet.

[@rogerwilliams2629]

Thomas, did you ever find the answer to this? I want to switch between different presets while playing live. Thanks, if you read rhis.

[@gorimus]

Thanks for the detailed video. Can the four controls be assigned per patch or these are global?

[@PunKFisH50]

Hi Pedal Guy - love your work. I have a question: Can you move the Volume/expression pedal (not the Wah) to a position in the pedal chain before the delay and reverb so that you don't kill the delay/reverb tail when you back off the volume pedal? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@ThePedalGuy]

Yes this should be possible.

[@Andy1x]

Thanks so much. Do you also have a video that shows how to use the mg30 in a live environment where you use one of the foot switches to toggle between presets? Thanks!

[@MrMada20]

Can we use the NMP-2 footswitch to change the preset? Like from 1A, if we press the B switch on NMP-2, it change to 1B, and from 1B we press the footswitch on the MG-30 and it change to 1C and so on? Thank you in advance

Sir can you make a video about mono and another output that nux mg30 has. As in how to connect it to a mixer board and how should we proceed with it live? Can we use it to pan two signals of guitar left and right?

[@iosifsimon]

I've noticed most reverbs have "decay" as the first parameter, and if you want to setup the reverb freeze, and have this parameter quite high, then the freeze function will increase the level of the freeze to an unusable level. Right now, in the section where you setup the footswitches, there is no parameter to the freeze function. Can they make a change to the firmware so that we can set a level for the reverb freeze?

[@miguelbarrera8052]

Another great video, thanks! I'm new to the amp and effects world so forgive me if I make no sense. With the Send-Return I/O, would you be able to connect the external expression pedal and keep all its functions without having to set it up through the EXP input? Would this allow you to keep the NMP2 and the additional expression pedal? Thanks again for all your useful content, I'm sure you're saving more than a thousand lives here.

[@davidphillips2151]

What a useful video - it just so happens I have a NuX MG 30 on it's way to me and by strange coincidence the same Hotone foot pedal you demonstrated, but I have a question: the Hotone foot pedal (or the version of it I've bought) is a three-way pedal - with an expression function, a volume function, and a wah function, all in the one foot pedal, the functions being switchable on the pedal... so... if I connect that pedal to the MG 30 and assign it to a particular function within the MG 30 (say, as a volume controller) will it only work as a volume controller within the MG 30, regardless of how the pedal itself is switched, or will it still be switchable to its own other functions such as wah? Thanks for the great content. I previously watched your video about 'scenes' which I hadn't even realised was a function in the unit. Other demonstrators have eluded to switching to a 'lead' or a 'crunch' version of a basic tone by hitting CTRL but haven't intimated how those variations got there. So that video was immensely helpful. You are the blble for learning to use the unit. Thank You.

[@osmarjoxs]

Hello! I bought the nux mg 30 because I watched your videos and made the decision and it is worth it, however I have a problem, the NMP-2 only works with one switch, I don't know why! It depends on where I connect the cable. Please help!

Very good review, I have a question, the MG 30 comes with a dual footswitch, if instead of that I use a footswitch with more buttons? to use the NUX in stompbox mode or would the NUX not recognize more than 2 footswitches? My decision to buy it depends a lot on this Thank you in advance!

[@ThePedalGuy]

Honestly not sure if you can do that or not. I would check with NuX on this. Which footswitch were you thinking about? The only one I know that has more switches is the Digitech FS3X.
