NUX MG300 vs VALETON GP-100 Shootout!

[@6StringStories]

For me the Valeton sounded better overall. Cool video!

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

Thanks man! and cheers for the vote!

[@jondeth298]

The ability to put pedals in any order is the feature that will almost always win my favor. It can solve various problems with high gain tones for metal and complex instrumentals.

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

As i understand it they both do this now

[@jondeth298]

@@DerekPaulGuitar that's what I thought but in another review, I heard otherwise. Most units today allow pedals in any order. Zoom started that probably 10 years ago.

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

They did! Yeah I think they can compete easily as it’s a simple firmware update these days

[@ryabtsev72]

Many thanks for this vid! To my ears Valeton sounds more open and organic. Nux is more colored and has more highs in default presets. I'm very impressed by the Valeton and don't hear about this unit before this video.

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

Thanks Sergey appreciate that, stay well!

[@atb1325]

I prefer the Valeton's tone over the NUX. More hollow and less treble sound and pitch. Just personal preference on that part. Nicely done demo Derek!😎 Cheers Bro!!

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

Nice man, cheers! It is more mid humped that the NUX’s note scooped sound, cheers my friend 😎

[@peter2712771]

It's amazing how things have changed over the years. If you get tired of lugging around a full stack, pedalboard and rack effects you could just take something that's a size of a mini pedalboard to gig with.

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

It is incredible! things are progressing so quickly, all those amps and cabs available in a little box, imagine what will happen in 5 years! cheers

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

@Sam Santana Can you imagine! i'm sure they'll sell by the bucket load lol

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

@Sam Santana That's too kind, although they'd be missing a few fingers haha

[@raphaelnopsy]

Both pedals sounds very good. In this video using OD effects, NUX seems to have more gain than the Valeton pedal and it is not a problem, setting up the gain knob. But in my opinion the sound of NUX has a little more middle frequences and Valeton sounded more faithfull to the Strato timbre. I don't know if it's different playing with other guitars, but I thought Valeton a little better. But both seems to be great pedals. Thanks for the video, sir!!! Cheers!!!

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

Thanks for the comment and feedback!

[@rrr969ok]

Real answer is here, Usually ppl end up saying "It's up to you" and that is a waist of time. Thanx, Derek for honesty

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

Thanks! i do try and give an opinion, cheers!

[@TheKevinalejandroesp]

For me the best one was the Nux, some frequencies sounded a little more "fuller", also the software looks more worked in the Nux, but I can understand that some people might prefere the valeton because it looks like it has a little more to offer, at the end both of them are great for the price! Nice shootout man!

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

Thanks man! They really are both great units for the money depending on what you want, cheers!

[@njcranes]

Yeah, to me and the tones I look for, the Valeton sounded better. The NUX just sounded too bright for me. Thanks for posting!!

[@batphink2655]

Without a doubt the Valeton has a richer warmer sound from the start juat what my old experienced ears pick up hence I took back 3 BOSS units in the last months because their overdriven sounds were too brittle.I just ordered a Valeton cheers!

Much more pleasing dynamics on the Valeton. Cheers!

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

Cheers Brad! It is a more Marshally tone I’d say

[@wregtanglao6547]

I've had both. Although nux advertise that they use TSAC, to me personally valeton gp 100 sounds more closer to the real amps that it simulates. The mg300 is a bit bright sounding than the gp-100. Valeton also have a stomp mode option which is very helpful for live performances and all effects block is freely moveable unlike the mg300 modulation and delay is the only moveable effects block. What I loved also about the gp-100 is the simulation of whammy pedal is really good. The nux mg300 have latency when switching through different patches especially when switching from clean to dirty tone or vice versa and it is very noticeable during live performances. So I highly suggest the valeton gp-100 to save you from the trouble that I experienced. And also valeton gp-100 is all metal so you don't have to worry about the expression pedal snapping off.

[@victorchay12]

Great comparison!! But the NUX-MG300 is better in sound quality and that is what matters in music. Cheers!

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

Cheers for the comment!

[@chrissteffers6931]

Very good comparison Derek. I'll have my cards on the NUX. Already have a Cerberus which I find great. So, already ordered one, now gonna have to wait...

Thanks Chris! really appreciate that, and waiting is the hardest part.....

[@hanjo4059]

here in my town the valeton costs $150 while the nux costs $100 so without any consideration I choose nux mg300 and I got from FB marketplace for $70 used

[@atxguitars3988]

I believe the Valeton shares its modeling from its big brothers the ampero. The headphone out is good but could be louder. It sounds damn good with cab sim off through a traditional amp. I’m running the Valeton through a Marshall dsl1 to a 1x12 closed back and its great.

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

[@blessedheavyelements8544]

@@gldkrn Hey. No extra foot switches can be connected. Yes, can use with anything you can connect with a jack. As both are over $150 USD, I would see if you could wait and get the NU-X Cerberus which is light years ahead of either. It's about $200 more but it's far superior. If you need one NOW, I would watch tone review videos of both. Both can give 'me" the harmonic overdrive "I" like and use, but it might not be useful to you. Also, there is now the GP-200 which again, is vastly superior to these units but is, again, $200-ish more. If "I" did it over again, it would save longer and get the Cerberus OR GP-200. GP-200 gives you more foot switches for control of more effects, Cerberus is more compact. BOTH can store presets. Best Regards and Best Wishes. Follow the Gospels!

[@MegaAndyGG]

So i don't need seperate interface/audiocard if i buy this?!

[@blessedheavyelements8544]

@@MegaAndyGG IN a way. It won't give you the flexibility of a standalone interface like a Focusrite..but you can input into a DAW with it. I jam with it.

Valetone is by far better for most things no contest, the NUX sounds cheap with it being so bright and treble-y and the Valetone is way more velvety and warmer to counteract the high-end treble that is ultimately the NUX’s downfall

I agree. I got the nux mg 300 and it is so trebly I had to return it. I do have the nux mighty plug and even that little thing sounds much better. Gotta give a try to the Valeton

Some of the tones are better on the Valeton whilst some sound better on the Nux. I prefer the blues driver on the GP for example. I also think the software is nicer on the Valeton.

Of course Nux MG-300 win in sound. The algoritmo is superior similar fractal white box. Software have good look amps and pedals. 32 bits 48khz AD-DA Conversor.

[@Sancho_Retablez]

I have the Valeton and tested the NUX. The interface, the functions and essential details like bypassing the audio (like any pedal or multieffects should do) make me prefer the Valeton for a huge difference. Setting and performing with effects in the Valeton is intuitive and flexible, and such actions with the NUX is a nightmare. I didin't notice differences in sound, both are 100$ devices but the Valeton software puts itself over multieffects even more expensive.

What are Amp IR's? Does that mean you can download more amps to the unit? The Valeton doesn't have that feature?

[@jimtalltheislandbrothers6639]

I have a feeling both can be tweeked to sound almost exactly the same. What came across here is the valeton cleans were nicer and Nux overdrive warmer. I think EQ can make them similar. For the price excellent value for money. I preferred the Valeton slightly.

Guys, im a church guitarist who most of time playing with clean, reverb, and chorus sound... can anyone tell me which one is the best for me, or any suggestion. Thank you.

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

Hopefully someone can help you out as I haven’t experience with a church type sound 👍

[@fabioa.565]

If you have to deal with clean sounds maybe the best option is NUX. It has jazz clean roland and fender twin reverb amps. The valeton don't.

[@Case_]

The Valeton has both Roland Jazz 120 and Fender Twin Reverb amps available as well (called J-120 CL and Dark Twin in the unit). It also has several other clean amps.

[@madebymalta6612]

I'm really stuck between these two. I really love everything on the NUX MG300, but the 26 presets against 99 presets scares me. I'm afraid of ending up wanting to play a certain song and not being able to get the specific sound out of it (or something close). I've never had a guitar pedal before. I've only played through my Roland CUBE-15X amp which has some basic lead sounds. So this territory is very new to me. The only thing i know is that i'm interested in experimenting with the drum machine and looper. Do you think i will end up with too few sounds, or is it more than enough to get the sound i want?

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

Hi Anders, either unit would be suitable, they both have 198 presets (99 user which are blank for you to add your own and 99 factory presets) they will both allow you to get the tone you want, its going to depend of whether you need acoustic simulation and what type of drum sounds you are after (the NUX drums are better) plus they both have software editors for full customisation, cheers

[@madebymalta6612]

@@DerekPaulGuitar Thank you very much :D It sounds like i'm going to get the NUX-MG300 then. I only thought the NUX MG300 had 36 presets because of another video. That must be a firmware update then? No matter what, thank you very much for your help and guidance ;)

You are more than welcome and it’s the one I use the most too, great unit! Cheers :))

Ótimo tutorial amigo.

[@Robertoilo]

An it's possible to use expression pedal to gain up or down fx sound, mosulations, delay, wa etc. withoun a computer? I only could turn on tje red light o pedal button, clicking in it on iys software PC. If not, the pedal only change volume sound.

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

It is possible with the new firmware update as i understand it, theres a symbol at the top of the screen indicating that the pedal is engaged, go into the patch editor and push pedal button, cheers Robert

[@Robertoilo]

@Derek Paul Guitar I've seen these symbols, but the pedal apparently ignores them. It seems to me that this feature is only working through the interface on the PC. Note that when you click the wah pedal on the PC interface (which does not even appear in the signal chain of the LCD pedal interface patch editor) the pedal button turns red, but if you press the pedal button while in the function of patch editing, the icons change giving the impression of having changed the function of the pedal, but neither the red light of the button lights up, nor the function of the pedal changes, and remains only controlling the volume of the sound.

@@DerekPaulGuitar At the beginning I really wanted Valeton GP 100. But my friend recommended the Nux mg300. he said sound from nux is better and when connected to soundcard for home recording, sound from nux300 is more stable than valeton gp100. valeton gp100 changes sound when plugged into a soundcard ..

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

Sofyan Rifani I think it just depends of what types of sounds you like, for me it was the NUX but for others it’ll be the Valeton, horses for courses as they say

[@scottbecker3485]

Interesting that you lean a bit more toward the Valeton, not only due to its feature set, but surprisingly also based on sound. The MG300 sounded a bit throaty on a lot of amps, as if it was asserting its own flavor onto everything, whereas the Valeton sounded quite distinct from model to model. Also found the attack to more natural on the Valeton. The MG300 seemed to be masking/muddling things a bit. Still sounded good, but more like it has its own signature sound. With the Valeton also offering bass sims for my occasional use of bass, I‘m definitely going to now check out more sound samples of that unit. Thanks for turning me onto this device I was unaware of! Was actually looking for a comparison of the Nux Cerberus with the Nux MG300 (having summarily dismissed the new MG30 from the competition based on its wishywashy sound). Still curious how the Cerberus might stack up soundwise in this field...

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

Thanks for the comment Scott, there’s quite a few multi effects modellers out there now, I’d also like to try the Cerberus, I’ve heard good things about it, cheers and stay well :)

[@scottbecker3485]

@@DerekPaulGuitar Yes, we are living in rich times, especially choice-wise. After posting I realized, though, that the Cerberus lacks speaker sims, so might be less suitable for plug-and-play applications than the devices you reviewed. Aaron Short (check out his KZbin channel) uses the Cerberus direct even without speaker sims, though, and says it‘s workable.

Great comparison, thank you but I do have one question, maybe I missed it- the outputs on the NUX, are they stereo? I see one says headphones.

[@DerekPaulGuitar]

Thanks Frankie, yes the output to phones and the output to a mixing board are the same output and is in stereo, so if your mixing desk has a stereo input then great, or you can get a stereo out jack split to two mono signals for your desk, hope that helps, cheers!
