Nux MG300 Modelling Guitar Processor Review by Michael Carpenter and Artist Guitars

[@sid9170]

Great demo to familiarize me to the features of this multi FX. You get a lot for the money. I might get one for home use.

[@hifijohn]

Was just playing mine a few hours ago, its great.

[@Neil-Aspinall]

No it's basically a 16yo's toy. I had one for a week and sent it back after much mucking around with it. A total disappointment.

[@0hnll]

@@Neil-Aspinallbro I literally cancelled my order, why it is a disappointment?

[@Neil-Aspinall]

@@0hnll It's basically a toy. It sounds brittle, unpleasing and the effects are bad. Good enough for a 16 kid who hasn't got a clue. You made a wise decision Rash.

[@0hnll]

@@Neil-Aspinall thank you for saving my money . So which one do u recommend ?

[@EasyHeat]

G'day! Great review man! Living in the U.S. Southeast, and been wanting to get my hands on some of those awesome Aussie Artist guitars I hear tell about. Cheers!

[@keazyeazy1119]

Thanks a lot for this helpful video!

[@qtmap]

Great review, thanks Michael!!!

[@tjborekvideo]

Just got mine two days ago. Having a ball getting it dialed in as a backup to my tube-based gigging rig. With only two footswitches, it's a lot less flexible than my Boss MS-3 setup, but for the price, how can you lose? These amp and cabinet models sound phenominal.

[@Funkfreed]

Bought this last week. It's as I expected it's awesome. First off thank you for reviewing this item as it should be by using the knobs instead of the software. The main selling point of this for me is how easy it is to change parameters. Secondly for people who bought this the user patch are the patch with white names from 1A to 9D while the factory is the gray ones. Thirdly if you are gonna use a headphone you need a connector same as the guitar cable I think people call this 3/4 Lastly depending on how you're gonna use this make sure to select the right mode just press mode I use mine as combo front on my amp Edit: also download the parameter list from their site to see the basis of each amp and pedal i.e. modern dist = proco rat

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

No worries and thank you so much for the support!

yes this

Just make multiple presets with effects either on or off but still using the same amp & cab. I have already done it and it works great with no lag ! Vic Canada

someone made a midi controller that can be programmed.. check out maxkie nux controller on youtube..

Smashing demo mate, can you turn up the individual drum parts likie cymbals,snare etc? Cheers and keep rockin down there in AUS and to hell with Mr Andrews? lol!

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

Thank you! Unfortunately, there wouldn't be a way to turn up the individual drum sounds.

[@steelerman5830]

Great demo thank you. Did you play this through a amp ? Or through studio monitor. Does it work through either or?

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

Hello. This was played through an amped and was mic'd. It will work well on both.

[@markallen5483]

Informative video. You say it runs on batteries. Please could you say where the batteries go in your unit ?

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

Hello I am sorry for the incorrect information. This does not run off batteries, only through a power supply.

[@markallen5483]

@@ArtistGuitarsDemo Hi, thanks for your reply. It should be possible to rig up a battery to power it through the 9v plug depending on how much current it uses. I've tried to find this out , but every link to the NUX website has my AVG antivirus saying blacklisted website and even if I navigate there by a search, the same thing happens. No one in the UK is selling the Mg-300 and there seems to be a 6 or 8 week wait to get one from Europe, most frustrating. Maybe I should just pay the extra and get a Hotone Ampero one, at least it is possible to buy one .

[@robertascio8342]

@@markallen5483 Look into Mission Engineering battery packs.

[@marcymcflybv1558]

Can it be used for acoustic electric? Or just electric?

[@camzilla_does_music834]

Does it have any midi capabilities?

[@artistguitars5999]

Hi. I am sorry but it does not.

[@chrissteffers6931]

Thank you for this video. Just wait and see when it will be available in Europe. Does it come with a headphone out.?

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

Hello. The Pedal does not have a headphone out unfortunately. We do not have the pedal available for our UK customers though since Nux may have a distributor in your country. I have provided the list of distributors for different countries. www.nuxefx.com/distributors.html

[@chrissteffers6931]

@@ArtistGuitarsDemo I saw a new photograph where the output was combined with headphones.

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

@@chrissteffers6931 May I please know if you have the link for the image?

[@kenphillips3282]

I recently received my MG 300 and it does indeed have a phones out. It is actually the output which is either mono to an amp or stereo for headphones. I will be using a TRS plug to split the signal and run it into 2 channels of my sound interface for the stereo effects. It is an awesome unit for the price. A few extra options would be great, but again for the price I have no complaints.

[@cyberghost4043]

do you plug this nux straight to the amp?

[@AlexKashner]

Are you able to stack pedals for a preset?

[@artistguitars5999]

Hey Alex, if you're able to provide more info about exactly how you'd like to set-up/operate it we can definitely advise :)

[@88mrriss]

Great video! Does this unit has harmonizer and octaver in the settings?

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

It does not. For the full list of effects, here is the link for the manual. The effects list is on page 9. v2sources.siiite.com//enclosure/sources/xPIORgSZexeHWPLq/NUX%20MG-300%20User%20Manual.pdf

How I can change user preset and factory preset

[@isurusampath33]

How is qulity of materials that built this pedal ? And how is durability

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

The MG300 has a high quality, durable metal enclosure. It holds up very well.

[@TheMichaelseymour]

does this have the "bass simulator " -like the other nux multi unit ? i loved the bass sim on the other nux unit ...but didnt like the drums as much as i do on this unit .....so am hoping it has the bass on here too ? thnx.

[@JCILORD]

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.

[@steveduce391]

I don't think this unit runs on Batteries?

[@aliengtr]

its mono?

[@Funkfreed]

Can we use headphones on it?

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

Hello Dominique. Headphones cannot be used directly with it.

[@Funkfreed]

@@ArtistGuitarsDemo are you sure about this? The other channels seem tobsay yes

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

@@Funkfreed We just had our guys check and it means you can output to either headphones or an amp

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!

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

Hello. I am sorry however a direct comparison would be hard since we do not carry Boss products. There would be a lot of demos that would give you a great comparison and would definitely how each pedal would stack up against each other.

do you have to plug it to a pc first or can you use it Out of the box?

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

Hi. It can be played straight out of the box.

[@sandman6088]

Can you use the footswitches to turn off and on effects while playing?

[@stringsandhamers]

Hmm i have it and im not 100% sure, but I think that's not how it works... BUT you can assign the "wah" pedal as a Switch effect, i mean, you can control only 1 efffect per time with the wah pedal, the wah, the delay, the distortion, etc, so basicaly you can switch on or off a distortion and with the pedal control the gain 0-100% for example...

[@Robertoilo]

What about Zoom g1 four, mooer Ge 100 or caline C300? Are some of those multieffects pedalboards bestbor worts tha Nux MG300?

[@jorgynes6443]

Yeah that looks pretty awesome for the price but that screen looks really small

[@kenzoquiambao]

Can I use this as an audio interface for xlr condenser microphone?

[@abhineetpathak371]

No man

hmmm i saw a video where someone puts a microphone on it but with an impedance adapter, i dont know how it works, but may be you can get more info from here...

Pretty nice sound. What do you make of it?

[@sachinsun1]

Bought a week ago, a problem of strong hum/noise oh high gain/OD despite using Noise Gate effect,,, checked it out with others they too complained of the same problem...so i returned and got the refund....

[@Boysoundtechniques]

This Pedal is just AMAZING. But... i seriously wish it had a better Outpu. It sounds JUST TOO LOW! I can barely hear anything when comparing it to other multifx on my speakers.

[@FERNANDO-jj2vt]

This is nice for the price.....I own it

[@cyberghost4043]

it sound muddy and thin on a backing track

[@mealtone7688]

Does it have a tail enabled for delay/reverb when switching between patches?

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

Hello. I am sorry however the MG300 does not. When switching patches, it will cut off the previous one.

[@chrissteffers6931]

As I understand from a previous post, it will tail your sound when you have the same delay in your next patch.

[@ArtistGuitarsDemo]

@@chrissteffers6931 Are you able to point the previous post as I am unable to see it?

[@chrissteffers6931]

@@ArtistGuitarsDemo no Idea where I picked it up. I didn't receive this unit yet otherwise I would try it out for you. But I'm pretty sure it will do trails if both patches has the same delay or reverb.

HEY VERY IMPORTANT. Can you get real country lead tones? Like, you can get so many overdrive styles they come out of your ears, , but real country, it seems you need to spend big dollars.

@@ArtistGuitarsDemo I am very keen on real country, like USA country. I would like to have it. I do all styles, heavy and metal as you like, but also country is good.
