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!!!

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.

@@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!

Even though it doesn't have the same quality in construction material, the Nux Mg-300 has a good presentation. It doesn't look like a cheap product. To say the truth, the Mg-300 still looks like a premium unit.

Hey derek nice comparison If u ask me Ill prefer mg300 cuz it sounded more natural to me. Another thing, i guess u missed the looper section for both the pedals I heard that mg300 has undo/redo looping feature (not sure cuz i dont have it ive seen tht in the manual in thr website) also dont know about gp100 Can u plz tell tht undo/redo looping feature is thr in mg300 or not If it has then can u make a dedicated video on this then it'll help others to choose very nicely cuz none of the YTbrs r showing this feature they r more concerned about the patches can u do it plz thank u🙏

I am biased as I have the MG-300 and love it. Great review. I do hope NUX is going to make a bigger unit like the Line 6 POD GO. With the ease of use via the software this would be a killer. Add a XLR out and a ground lift and I would be sold.

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?
@DerekPaulGuitar3 жыл бұрын
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

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.

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
@Robertoilo3 жыл бұрын
@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.

@scottbecker34853 жыл бұрын
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 Yes, we are living in rich times, especially choice-wise.
