Nux MG-300 Reviews

Τhe Best modeler in this price category

You don't even need to connect to your pc! All parameters are adjustable using knobs and buttons, the housing isn't metallic but it made from a really strong plastic, very accurate pedal, it is fast, no lags, nothing..it's clean!

Good processor for beginners

I use this processor for home trainings with my guitar. The controls are very convenient and simple. The expression pedal is clear and smooth. The amplifier and cabinet models are well assembled. You can shape the sound to suit every taste. There are enough effect (Delay, reverb etc.) settings for all kinds of situations. One of the disadvantages is the small number of connectors on the rear panel. I would like a separate stereo output. It fully justifies its price.

It sounds!

Decent for home use. Even gigged with it once.

The amazing Nux MG-300 Multi-Effect Pedal

The Nux MG-300 Multi-Effect Pedal for Electric Guitar is an absolute game-changer that deserves all the accolades it can get. As a guitar enthusiast, I've had my fair share of experiences with multi-effect pedals, but the MG-300 has taken my sonic journey to an entirely new level.

Received the Item in a great condition too

Perfect practice tool

I was really surprised at how easy to use this was. I thought I would have to use it with a pc most of the time but now I only do it when I want to load a new IR. It also works Great when plugging a set of active speakers to the output. No need for any amp or anything at home anymore.

Great little box of effects

Nice little, well-built multi effect pedal to cover all your needs. Perfect for beginners that are still figuring what effects they prefer or people who like to have everything they require from looper, drum kit, tuner to loads of effects.

Just make sure to update the software from Nux website like already mentioned.

Great multi fx for a beginner

i recieved it yesterday and it sounds amazing. it has a ton of features and the sound quality is more than you pay for. i can strongly recommend it for anyone looking for a beginner friendly pedal.

Can't go wrong with it

I wanted only three important things. Amp simulator, cab sim and audio interface. I ordered this after watching reviews and forums and seeing alot of digital vs analogue discussions. I could've bought an analogue preamp into a separate cab simulator pedal into a separate audio interface. Glad I did not.

This thing is way better. I started using the amp and cab sims right away. All the famous amps and cabs are here- you can mix and match them along with a microphone and its position. Got a gritty heavy tone from it. Just for this it deserves the purchase. Then the gain pedals were great, the reverbs, delays eq etc. All are great. They sound like they should. Read the manual and start editing the presets and you are good to go. There's just so many features to this amp moddeller. Haven't even written about the looper and drums which are also great. I can't go over them unless I want to write a whole book.

Great gear

Awesome play along for the value

A portable full recording studio rig just for 100€

I was introduced to this pedal by a friend and I was immediately blown away. I love the way you can make your own rig, not only by choosing your amp, cab and pedal line, but go as far as to choose a mic and it's exact location in front the cab. What I also found awesome was how close the emulation of the amps was to the real thing. I mean, I own quite a few of the actual amps and it is close, not the same, but really close. You can also record anything you want without having to go through rigging everything needed on your studio's interface (and it will sound very decent), something that will make your life easier. Just plug it and go!

For those who think about getting it, it is more than worth it, but make sure you update it as soon as you get it.

All in all, it is a great modeller and since it has everything needed, I don't think I will need to burn my amp tubes anytime soon.

Best 100€ in a guitar investment ever!

Little Latency((

Bought for practice, but this unit not for me, it has little latency and cannot use that. Surely someone find it useful and sound is good also.

Cheap for a reason

I've been using this pedal for a few months now. It sounds great, but you have to turn it off now and then as it seems to falter. People are having a nightmare installing new firmware and connecting to their Quicktone editing software. I joined the devs' facebook group, yet had my comments removed because they didn't like what I had to say about the product. The product is much cheaper than it was when I bought it. Just be aware of potential issues with cheap Chinese brands like this. Oh - and don't buy it for the 'audio interface'. That's a one way signal path, which defeats the point.

A true VFM for the price

This pedal is literally everything one can ask for, especially for this price. The pedal itself even with my amp (which is not an expensive one) it sounds great. The effects work very well and the usb connection for recording directly in your pc is very handy. The only thing i would suggest is to try to make your own pedal boards in the app because the presets have to much delay for my taste.

Great

With this mg300, I can get the exactly sound I wanted and sound tike my favorit artist.

Thank you for this great pedal on this cheap price

So much in a little cheap box

Many amps and pedals to choose from, great tones, easy handling. The only thing that bothers me is a missing on/off switch, instead of unplug it from the electric socket. But you can buy an extension cord with the switch in a local elect. store for a few bucks.

Good unit for the price

If you're looking for a sound that is comparable to VST plugins, look eslewhere, because this does not raise to the same level.

There are several things that i'm missing from this unit: better distortions, more stereo FX (most of them are mono), the ability to assign pedal to more than just volume, wah or whammy... But really, i'm complaining too much, because for the price, you can't complain much. This is hands down the best you're going to get on the cheap.

So, as long as you understand that you get what you pay for, i can heartily recommend this one.

using at home

using this for home practice only and it works exactly as you think it should, the presets are better than you expect and the editing software is simple and easy to navigate.

only issue is it did not come with an electrical plug converter for north american use.

Best Multi-Effect Pedal for under 200 euros!

The NUX MG300 Multi-Effect Pedal is one of the most praised pieces of gear in the guitar world since last year in 2020. One of the best features of the pedal is the good amp simulation and the low price. Despite costing only 125 it delivers the goods like no other pedal.

Personally I think the NUX MG300 beats a lot of other multi fx pedals in this price range and above. If you are under the 200 euros/dollar budget this is the device you should consider.

Of course this pedals has limitations but it features more pro aspects than negatives.

I will start with the negative aspects as they are just a couple:

- the pedals is made out of plastic, I personally have nothing against this but some people prefer metal housing.

- there is no USB cable included. Personally I feel that NUX were being cheap on this and they should consider at least when they do re-issues of the MG300 to add a simple USB cable…

-a larger screen would have been better appreciated.

The PRO’s:

- this little unit is capable of putting older Zoom and Boss products to the GRAVE;

- versatile DSP and TSAC sound;

- can load 3rd party IR’s;

- can be tweaked almost how the user want ( the pedals and amps cannot be inter-changed);

- software runs nice on any computer;

- sounds nice in a track mix;

-plenty of amp models and cabinets to choose from when creating the patch you desire.

That being said I am satisfied with this little unit and will looking forward for updates that maybe allow changing position of the patches and maybe and EVH 5150 amp:). I don’t think I will be needing another multi fx pedal at least for a coupe of months as I still have to discover the many tones of the NUX MG300. You can go from Slayer to Nirvana to BB King, as long as you know how to tweak the tones. I am not a fan of the factory presents but you can change them as you please. Good job NUX, let’s see some more updates for the MG300!

MG 300 looks good on paper but.........................

OK After many glowing YouTube reviews for the NUX MG300 it appeared to be what I was after for home DAW recording. The factory presets must have been set up by a work experience kid as they are plain nasty, many sound like they are coming through a tunnel and the volume levels are all over the place???? I tried for many days to write some decent patches and whilst some were just OK there were these horrible constant un musical transients some around 1K and others around 3K? I already have the Moore Radar IR pedal and honestly it is far superior where it counts, 'the sound'. The MG300 is trying to be a one stop shop and in doing so it features a lot of very average IR's (that are basically unsatisfactory unless you're 16 and just starting out) & amps and effect units (and a drum machine, and a looper) On paper it seems too good to be true and of course it is.

Easy to use Digital Multi effects unit

As a basic digital multi-effects unit it is very good. You can set parameters on the unit screen that you supposedly can on the PC edit software. I normally have problems remembering how to set this sort of thing after a while but the MG-300 is very easy to get back into.

My main issue with it is that it is sold with the implication that it is an amp modeller like a Helix only cheaper. It has "impulse Responses" e.g cab sims and so on. I have owned at least one of the amps supposedly modelled namely a Fender Bassman and it sounds nothing one. The only thing the supplied IR's add is more latency! You can do more with the e.q. to model speakers/cabs. The latency on the unit is not to bad but is more noticeable on clean sounds without compression. If you plug the unit into an amp this is much less evident so other than home or studio use this might not be an issue in practice.

As DME unit it is a five star, as an amp sim only four.
