Nux MG-30

This is an amazing effects unit!
I have used and played with several effects units but none had the sound quality this NUX MG-30 delivers. I didn't even need the manual to get around with this unit. It's that simple.

The amp modeling is next level. You can choose from 25 different amps which is less than most other units but the quality is spot on. The definition and dynamics of your playing are so well presented.
I used a clean deluxe amp combined with the T Screamer style overdrive and could get such a warm creamy sound out of it. Also the Morning drive impressed me and the AC30 amp gets so close to the real thing too.
It even has 3 bass amps and 2 accoustic amps. I didn't try those so I don't know how good these are.
The reverbs and delays have a realistic sound and the chorus did very well too. The Shimmer reverb sounds so beautiful.

The problem with multi effects for gigging I faced in the past is that it's difficult to switch sounds in the middle of the song as you need to go patches up and down which is complicated. But NUX added an extra foot switch. So I dialed in a clean sound with reverb and a compressor as my base patch sound. During the song I could engage and disengage 3 other effects like overdrive, echo or phazer. (2 on the external foot switch and 1 on the pedal board) This makes this unit so versatile.
There is also a very clear tuner integrated which lights up so even on a dark stage you can easily tune your guitar. This seems such a small thing but it makes a huge difference when playing live.

For practicing there is also a looper of 60 seconds and a drum machine. A lot of multi effects have this these days but almost non of them let you access the drums and looper in 1 screen. I could activate the drums with 1 foot switch and loop with the other. It looks so easy and this makes this unit even more complete. Also if you are doing gigs alone or with just another person and you want to spice up your songs with rhythm and layer some loops and bass lines.
After 1 week using it I am so excited bout this unit already and still I feel like I only scratched the surface of what this thing can do.

I never thought I would say this but this unit will probably replace my amp and effects.

This is one of the easiest pedalboards to use, without reading the manual I felt comfortable in about 15 minutes!

The interface is spectacular! On the pc there's nothing you can compare with, and on the device buttons are spot on to navigate through and adjust - graphics on the big screen are amazing and bright to see in any light conditions.

Having had Boss, Line6, Zoom, this is by a big difference one of the easiest to deal with and one of the best I've owned.

There's a lot of settings to go through, so my advise is to start from scratch:
Delete one preset you don't like and start making your own. You'll soon change them all...

The only downfall I noticed was the somewhat "digital" sound. But this is me, after 30 minutes and with a crappy combo (to be sent to garbedge soon). But definitely have to go through settings, as I really like lows and clean notes. But rest assure it stands for any kind of music (classic, jazz, rock, heavy, you name it!)

There's also presets and some IRs that you can download from the internet and they're growing.

Conclusion: Get it if you can!!!

Home use and in band. I use it with a 1x12 cab + a pre-tube head.
I've got the MG300 as well, but wanted something more flexible.
I play music 30+ years and owned dozens of guitars, amps, effects.
Even owned other chinese multies like: Ampero, or GE200 etc...
This one is far the best among them. I liked the MG300 as well, but that was good just for home practice/record.
The better IRs, the bigger screen, the felxible chain, the more buttons may raise someone's interest and I can tell you it worths every penny.
As for sound the strongest points are the well detailed and dynamic crunch and those satisfying high gains.
Its fun to check the load of the two processors at each patch.
I miss a good detune effect.
Probably the next generation will work with dual chains and may have two expression pdls out or may have more buttons.

Just a great device! I'm not a professional. I play a little at home. Before purchasing this device, I played on plug-ins for the computer. After the purchase, I am terribly pleased. There is now no binding to the computer, the device is self-sufficient without it. The sound is very good. The delay is almost imperceptible. The only thing that had to be done right away was to reduce the gain level in the preequalization section. Otherwise, distortions are heard. Maybe I'm being picky))). But overall, it's just a great thing. No plug-ins can compare with this device. Most importantly, now there is no torment on the pairing of drivers and software on the computer. Maybe of course plugins from the top category will sound no worse, and maybe even better, but convenience is more important to me. Now I can safely sit down on my favorite sofa, connect the smart phone's soundtrack and trinkle to my heart's content. NUX, you are just monsters! Thanks! THOMANN as always, well done! Everything is clear, fast, on top! Thank you.
