I've got the MG300, it's freakin amazing. 100 pedals in one, downloadable patches, great looper and drum tracks, pc software, literally 1000s of usuable guitar tones. Also, you can plug your headphones stright in and play without needing an amp, perfect for travel. I sold most of my gear after getting this. Wish i had it in the 90s.

[@CynHicks]

SOLD! thanks

[@karlhoward2737]

Hey Peter, I have the MG300…..love it, ok the USB interface to my Mac is a tad temperamental….but wow, such rich sounds, what I would like to find out, do you know any sites that have other MG300 downloadable patches…..mind you having seen Chappers here….think an early Xmas present might be in order…cheers.

[@accentontheoff]

How is the build quality.

[@Peterplayingguitar]

@@accentontheoff Solid AF....the knobs etc are built to last. I don't think dropping it would be a problem. My only gripe is that the screen is too small and so it's hard to read when you are standing and playing.

[@accentontheoff]

@@Peterplayingguitar Super, thanks.

[@brettshawver2983]

If I had gear like this back in the 80's - man! Gear has definitely come a long way. There's so much good stuff out there today. Always love to watch you jam dude! Keep doing the good stuff!!!!!!!🤘😁🤘

[@scottykingdavid]

Really. There's nothing really new under the sun. The DigiTech 2120 artist was great. With a mosvalve by tuber works power amp. I found that a solid state.power amp was better for that unit. Than a tube one. Killer tones out of that one. It had 12ax7 tubes in the processor. And fed back just perfectly. When I just pressed on a chord. Just right. Like a tube amp. And it was stereo... It was way cheaper than an eventide h ,3000

[@scottykingdavid]

I just bought the used nux mg 100.. just to see the tsac circuitry. This one is just newer and improved. I bought the 100 for 40 bucks. And honestly that piece of gear straight into my Blackstar ht-40 clean channel. Just to hear what the circuit was like. And it was the best 4o bucks I ever spent in my life. And u can't even pick amps or pedals on this one and it totally kick ass for the older version as well. .. now I must get the nux mg 400. Because of the 100 gets my stratocaster tones that sometimes amps just miss. This unit made me love my stratocaster all over again.. and nownwith this unit. U don't need any more pedals at all anymore. And even in a P.A direct. It's phenomenal. And super cheap. It's a must buy. Seriously it is. And also he Harley benton sg DC custom three pickup in antique white for 178 and this unit together. I need to get both of these pieces of gear in my arsenal now .. and the price. Is just unreal. Unbelievably cheap for the processor circuitry. It's a must buy

[@tobesurf]

"When all's said and done, no-one cares" - that's so true! This is exactly why I got my Headrush Gigboard. Super simple! (Will never get rid of my pedals though ❤️)

[@TheFunkyman68]

The MGs are very great when you use good IRs. Im Happy with the NUX and sold my Pod Go

[@christopherkahn6522]

Such a great review, Rob. You hit the nail on the head. I just bought the NUX Mighty Plug Pro. It sounds so much better than I imagined. Now I really want the MB400 because my MPP sounds better than my pedal collection, especially considering everything that can go wrong with plugs and cables. NUX modeled sounds nearly real, which is more than can say about any other manufacturer I have tried.

[@davecooper360]

I recently got a Nux MG30. Sounds as good as anything out there. We ARE spoiled.

[@metallica3604]

MG 30 sounds even better

[@Emanuelnx]

Really excited for the Kriterion single on friday! ✌️

[@RobChappers]

Thanks bro, really hope you enjoy it

[@metallica3604]

I have it's bigger brother and it's the most amazing pedal in its budget. I am not ashamed to say in my place with my finances this is all my rig

[@justice100forwin2]

What is this pedals bigger brother?

[@stevesmith3990]

I have the MG300, love it. So much in one box!

[@EasyHeat]

Kids these days got it made! Ha! It blows my noggin that I can now take my guitar, iPhone, Orange OMEC, and a midi controller and get crazy good gig ready tones running FOH and/or into an amp's FX return! That NUX unit looks/sounds even more convenient. Especially for the price. Just wish it did dual amp paths, as that's kind of become my thing as of late! Great review Rob! Cheers!

[@mikeholmed7029]

Couldnt you run a A-B box to split the signal? Or do you mean stereo out?

[@EasyHeat]

@@mikeholmed7029 I'm talking about a dual amp tone like an AC30/Rectifier wet/dry. you can't ABY two separate digital pre/amp sim units due to round trip latency and phase.

[@erickfuga]

"Get one of this, jump on tiktok, dominate the planet". Best career advice for this day and age.

[@richietruman5877]

I'm waiting for the BIG one from NUX. I think, that will be better than all the rest. In less the 1.000 euro range.

[@lawrenlelko]

I think that most of the people who buy one of these will sell at least some of their other pedals. IT'S A GAME-CHANGER AND THE GEAR NO-BRAINER OF 2022-23. If you want the long version... AND! -- The tuner is not one of those fiddly ones that hear all the harmonics and jump around - it's rock solid - and it's adjustable to Earth Harmonic Concert 432. AND! -- the EQ! It's TEN BAND! Lots of room for presets. How much do those 10-band EQs with 4 presets cost? Umm, right... You can put it's 10-band EQ before an amp to make it hit the gain in a more pleasing way, or you can put it after a compressor for a bass guitar with deep lows that are rich and clear but with trips up the neck that are lilting enough to be parenthetical gestures. "Tele need a little more low end at the bridge? No problem. Neck p-90 a little too rich? No problem. Humbucker lacks crispness... well... you're stuck there, the cancelling harmonics of the adjacent coils can't be undone... anyways... AND! -- the M-D45 acoustic sim is pretty convincing (having that ten band EQ is critical here to adjust for different pickups - it's not going to replace a high-end Taylor, and if you accidentally hit the pickup selector the illusion vanishes, but it's the first one I've heard that is actually useable). AND! -- the Morning Star is one of the available pedals - leave the guitar volume where it is - go from clean flamenco to gritty blues just by playing harder - that's right, a multi-effect pedal can now do that as well as the industry standard solo pedal. I'll go further than that. In comparison to every other (non-super-boutique) pedal of it's type and most amps that are known for gradual breakup, it shines by comparison because of it's controllability and expressiveness. (It's hard to beat the 1965 Vox Berkeley Super Reverb, but...) Compared to most, the grain is much finer and the break-up is more gradual. I have a Blues Driver, and a very nice amp, and this is so much better. Sorry pedal snobs, after playing through the Morning Star, everything else seems to jump in too quickly, and unexpectedly, and with too much coarse grit at the beginning of the break-up. AND! -- T Screamer with the Uber Higain - or - DIE VH4 with a Hall verb - super heavy, check, soarable, check. Need for tweed? Remember that little amp at the pawn shop that you played for an hour and regret not buying? Got it. Not just kinda got it, I mean got it. Turn off one speaker, close your eyes, and it's sitting there on your desk. I could go on, but... AND! -- It just sounds musical. If you've heard the huge and heavy-as-a-guitar Vox multi-effect with a tube and two pedals, it has similar richness and chime. The ping-pong stereo delay could have 10 or 12 finer gradations at the shorter times for use as a subtle thickener. Nothing is absolutely perfect. But, I haven't used anything else in my little studio since I plugged it in. I've owned about a dozen multi-effects (some very nice and expensive ones with tubes). I played along with "Quad Cortex vs Kemper vs Helix - A Quick Blindfold Tone Comparison", and the MG-400 should have been there. It doesn't just cover the bases - this amp-ish, that compressor-ish, this cab-ish, etc., instead, it does it WELL, like the big kids. It's easy to use but still very satisfying for a studio engineer who wants lots of controls to tweak. With the exception of fast ping-pong, I haven't run into any other "Oh, it doesn't do that..." I only play in the studio nowadays, so others will have to let us know how it does gigging. In the studio, I play through either Mackie MR3's or an Alesis RA500 with monitor two's. Also, I rarely use verb in tracking (editing complications), but the spring, hall, and plate sound right and have the controls you would expect. As you might guess, I recommend the MG-400 unreservedly. Outstanding!

[@gearmeister]

"Bass Mate"... 🤣🤣🤣 absolutely bloody blooming brilliant Chapperstein! 😜👌... having owned an early 50's Bassman, I've had the holy grail! 👍

[@chrisvdv5608]

Hi Rob, i was allways plugged the mg400 in my fender champion 40 (solid state) and it sound good...but...as you recommend i plugged the mg400 in my bugera v5 (all tube) and now all presets sound tube, i prefere this because it sound amazing. Before i missed the tube sound, now no more. Thank you.

[@andyhamilton7639]

Sounds great but I still think my Valeton GP200 is better the balanced XLR output to hook straight up to my monitors at home is a must have for me

[@1972Georges]

Got the Valeton GP-200. Great Tool!

[@scottykingdavid]

It sounds a lil brittle and sharp. But. It may do me a bit of justice. Instead of getting a whole bunch of pedals. I'm so used to. Like Chapman here. A straight plug into the amp. With reverb. That's the only effect I can not live with out. It's the one effect that's my sound and style. I have to have it

[@AllanGildea]

Yowsa, Chapplington! Most enjoyables.

[@robtipton1551]

Being a plastic enclosure, how does the MG-400 hold up in live applications for you?

[@lars667]

Sounds good, any European dealers? Can't find it anywhere (except in the US).

[@SuperGuitarDude7]

Sounds pretty great. I just use these multi-fx pedals for when I play at home and run them through studio monitors use the aux in and headphone jack to play along with stuff off my computer anyway. Does anyone know if this sounds as good as/has the same amp models are the Nux Amp Academy? I have that and love it but it doesn't have an on/off switch and doesn't have all the efx so thinking about getting something like the mg-300 or mg-400.

[@perro0076]

Nice one!! That really sounds very good. I in the end I went for the AMT Bricks as these solid state things tend to be super 'sharp'. A bit like vinyl vs CDs. But that was before Putin started his crap, as they are made in Russia, now they are a bit trickier to get and not cheap. I'm super lucky I took the plunge before that!!

[@WaleshiddenhistoryMD]

Most valve amps sold this day and age have solid state in the preamp anyway.

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Bluguitar amp x gonna smash and dominate all those platforms...

[@JayTheLane]

I had a Nux MG30 it was decent for the money but the reverbs were quite lacking and even with my own IR's I just didn't gel with the unit. I used it in the front end of a Fender, in the Fx loop and through an Headrush 108 frfr cab but it just seemed to lack that amp and pedals sound regardless of how I used it. The other thing was dialing in the levels and tone for patches so that they were even volumes and then eq'ing them for different setups. I spent more time doing that than playing. I think lower end units like these are great but for a gigging musician or a professional musician you'd really need to go the Helix, New Fractal stuff, Neural DSP QC or the more recent Boss units. I'd easy say that extra cash is worth the money if you can afford it. In the end I sold the MG30 and the Headrush 108 and put together a pedalboard with a mix of Boss, Laney and TC pedals straight into the front end of my Fender. It's much more immediate and sounds very analog.

[@MrCElk]

This is a better review than the actual 'review'.

[@paulneedham9885]

I doubt any of your audience would notice any difference.

[@laotsefab]

i have quite the same experience with my gear. I am really in love with my old vox tonelab. But I have slightly less dynamic than with my analog pedals and setup the volume between the presets is really boring after all I just want to play with less sound possibilities but with THE SOUND that's makes me play more and more.

[@ykdickybill]

This stuffs fine for saturated gain or really clean, but, it don’t do a dual terror through a ppc 4x12………..great flyrig type thing though😊

[@daniloberserk]

Does it have a NO CAB mode for L or R output? Does patch changes as soon as we press then instead of release ?

[@ro307805]

Love your videos! No more with the Captain?

[@binio28]

Great review!

[@RobChappers]

Thanks dude

[@RusoDryLaw]

Looks nice! Wonder how far you can push the presets. For the price looks like a reasonable options

[@georgewilkins4231]

Rob, nice one man.. I am constantly astounded by NU-X. Yep, like you I love amps and pedals.. But im including digital too. I have the NU-X amp academy. It has some great amp sounds and impulse response. Heres how I use it: I use the amp academy XLR output into my Audio interface / monitors for recording with impulse response ON and the standard output simultaneously, (impulse response OFF) into a 100 watt power amp and 2 x 12 Celestion V30 cabinet. I prefer thus setup to the return on a valve amp... I use proper chorus and a delay pedals. In the amp academy fx loop. The amp academy has its own reverb... For gigs it's just the amp academy 2 pedals, power amp and 2 x 12..does the job for me...

[@NickSandt]

Magnificent. Now make it djent. 😊

Hi, can you please tell me if the mg 400 has the Pitch shifter (it can raise and lower the guitar's tuning - polyphonic) and the Duotime effects ?

[@lyrad24]

It doesn't have it. Here's to hoping it can be added via firmware update

[@stephenwhitney8636]

Someone needs to have Chappers tell Captain Lee about Nux.

[@Citizen_J]

I literally just got the MG30 5 days ago. Any chance you'd do a comparison?

[@PikaStu666]

Looking at other comparisons on KZbin, it seems the MG30 has everything the 400 has, plus more, along with a bigger screen and sturdier construction. Seeing as they’re both around the same price if you shop around, the MG30 is probably the one to get.

[@RobChappers]

Sorry man, I don’t have the MG30

[@metallica3604]

@@PikaStu666 It sounds slightly more polished probably due to the sampling rate of the IRs(1024). It also has flexible signal chains dual effects which comes in very handy. Also parallel effects open up a new dynamic and bias parameter can change your amps character

[@Citizen_J]

@@RobChappers all good. So far I'm really enjoying mine. Stock sounds are decent, and the community has made some rather excellent scenes for it. Highly recommend trying it out when/if you get a chance. Thanks!

[@Getupkid825]

Would you recommend this over an hx stomp?

[@RobChappers]

HX Stomp is double the price… contains more, but I don’t think I sounds any better.

[@KenithCopeland]

i always want the same thing with "modellers", i dont want the expression pedal, just gimmie the unit

Will this work as well with a solid state amp?

[@poppiesbloomingdesign]

Do you know of anything that is reasonably inexpensive, like this, but also has some sort of inbuilt drum machine and has the ability to record? That can be saved to a memory card so when I get song ideas I can just do that.

[@mikewendeln5218]

It does have selectable drums in it .
