Here's my tip of the day... If you are not a big volume pedal guy for your solo sound utilize a drive or booster before the amp sim and then the 10 band eq after the amp with the mids punched up a bit and 2db of volume.. walla you're out in front in the mix and have a nice push for that singing sustain.. there's my two cents.. you may keep the change :)
Great videos, thanks so much! So many are a thinly veiled excuse to show off guitar skills and really only skim the surface of what we are trying to learn. Your videos are perfect...thanks again...from Phil in UK
Hi ! Scott … nice tutorial on scenes with nux mg30. I am a beginner at electric-guitar and the whole paraphernalia around it. I happen to be a singer and am trying to find out ways to juggle between the loopers (rhythm+drums), scenes and singing along. Could you help me with how to make the best use of loopers, scenes on this processor with all the foot switch controls and exp. pedal etc…. ? I don’t think there are enough videos out there for such a requirement…
Thanks for the detailed tutorial. Quick question: Is it possible to change/add effects and amps in S2 and S3, so these are significantly different than the S1 patch?
Your videos are very helpful. I have a question tho, can you assign the footswitch pedal and the ctrl pedal to change scene at the same time? For example using the footswitch b for s2 and ctrl for s3
Apparently, these modern digital floorboards are made either to connect online or via usb. Besides, the MG-30, among other pedalboards, has several 'Output Modes', but nobody explores. I tried using the settings in my combo and the results weren't good. In the end, only STUDIO mode had acceptable sound. The other modes, even turning on as expected, the distortions had a "noisy" sound. Would you be able to test these 'Output Modes'? Thanks and Success!
Thanks for the feedback. Well, it really depends on how you intend to use it. I feel that with a FRFR it sounds great. If you want to use it with amps, I did a video that demonstrates how to do this with the little brother MG-300 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bae96wH6KYs.html I think it sounds pretty good, but opinions vary.
What was the pedal output to? Straight into an interface? Into an amps front input? Into the effects return in back? Nice tones, but a little too much reverb for my taste.
Thanks. Just went from the MG30 to my mixer. I never seem to win with reverb. Either I use to little or too much. LOL. Either case it was simply used for demonstration purposes. You can set the verb to whatever you want.
bro PLEASE, i can't differenciate parameters on effects? The scenes just can turn on and off effects, but can't change their individual configurations? like more levels on eq for scene 1 and less on scene 2? thei copy the same parameter to scenes, just turn on and off?
Hey! loved all your tutorials on the NUX MG-30 🤘 I just got one little question and I might've missed it on other videos but here it is anyway.. I was trying to figure out how to leave the expression pedal on the NUX MG-30 to level up and down the gain on any distortion patch, but I just couldn't...is this possible? if so, can you enlighten me please? thanks in advance..you're a legend!
Hi Scott,I would be lost without your videos, I just got the MG-30 and have to take it slow in learning, have a demanding day job. Before I got the MG-30 I set up my homemade Pedalboard in stereo successfully to play through my Blackstar ID Core 100w Combo but not sure if I can rig this pedal to play in stereo through the Blackstar speakers using the four cable method,or otherwise. I make my own guitar music videos and have made some stereo music vids lately with my own equiptment, would be good to use the Nux also in this way, greatful for any advice, thanks again for your tutorials.
Thanks. It looks like the return on the Blackstar ID Core 100W is stereo, so that's where I would connect the outputs of the MG-30 to. Hope that helps.
@@ThePedalGuy Hi again, just to update you, have been successful in getting stereo through my amp using the cable method and adding another cable from stereo output of the mg-30 to the second return jack at back of ID Core, am pleased, thanks so much for the guidance.I had a Zoom g7 ut quite a few years ago,it had similar outputs but never used it in stereo, just used compressor, delay and reverb on it with my amp's own preamp, anyway thanks again Pedal Guy, need to keep watching your channel!!!
Hey Pedal Guy. Love your MG30 videos. I'm having trouble with something. I just updated firmware to version 5.x. Everything is great but I can't seem to figure out why the main pedal is no longer my master volume pedal. I see from the scenes tutorial video that there are 4 pedals and the big one is #1 but volume is not an option. Can you. help? This is a must for me.
@@ThePedalGuy I see, thank you very much. I have just bought the Nux and I am trying to figure out how to put two different effects close to each other that I can switch fast. Let’s say that I like two patches that they are far one another. Do you know how I can put them in sequence? Hopefully I explained myself and there is a way to clear my doubt 💪😊
I got a question for the assignment of the footswitches (especially at 01:55). Since A is the ring and B is the Tip wouldn't that mean that both are only number 3 instead of 2 and 3 like you said there? Thats also how I can assign it in Qucktone. But what is 2 for and how do I use it? This is kinda confusing to me right now I have to admit :D Edit: Oh answered my own question. 2 would be for another Expression Pedal. Well that clears things up. Cheers and greetings from Germany.
Technically you could but I’m not sure the result would be good as you would need to disengage the IR to go to the amp. So that would affect the PA system too
I love your Utube tutorials and i am a MG30 user. I have a confusion about the user and factory patches. On Quick Tone the list of user patches and Factory patches are the same. If i make any change to User patch it reflects on factory patch list as well. I like to keep my factory list untouched and bring your patches on user library. How can i do, if i am not the only one with this issue you may want to make a utube video for every one
Great video. Is it possible to change the ampli between one scene and another? I need to pass from a clean tone to a metal distorsion. I use this to play Enter Sandman... Thank you.
Thanks. No you can’t do this so the best alternative would be to create two Sandman presets (clean/dirty) and use the footswitches to change between them. I
@@ThePedalGuy As much as I like your videos and enjoy watching them there is one thing I would like to tell you or advise you to change: video quality! Just saying as a feedback about what could be better. It is low resolution weird colors no contrast no sharpness. I hope I don't hurt your feeling as I don't intend to just try to help! Cheers.
Hey Scott! Thank you for the great videos, they were super helpful in getting up and running with this pedal. I have a question that I feel like only you would know the answer to. When I'm using the MG-30 I have it plugged into my laptop via the usb cable and I play along with songs in my Amazon Music Player app. The problem I'm having is that the volume of the music coming from the Amazon Music Player is kinda low relative to the MG-30, even at its max. Do you happen to know a way to adjust that? Thanks!!
I could probably just walk into my music room and try it, but I thought others may have the same question... can I set the wah to automatically be engaged in a scene, or do you still have to use the 'foot switch' method? When I am playing live, I sometimes don't press quite hard enough, and immediately drop my volume to 0 during a solo when trying to sweep the wah effect down. ;-P Great video by the way. Keep them coming. Oh, one more thing... any insider info on when the next FW version is going to be released?
Just tried it. Unfortunately, it maintains the state of the wah across all scenes, so you can't have it set independently per scene. I did see a rumor that there might be a new FW release this month, but nothing concrete.
I'd be surprised if a few of these common requests aren't added in a firmware update, such as ability to only have 2 scenes (pure software coding and functionally easy to do) or the ability to set effects parameters with a scene (again should be just coding, as a different level of gain on the same amp or pedal or more or less mix on a wet effect or mod shouldn't add to any memory overhead). Often companies release in an agile way, getting out features fast before they've gotten the feedback of how to make the use of the feature better.
Hi P. G. Is it possible to set an amp gain in sc1 and a higher amp gain in sc2? Is it possible to set only two scenes, not three? Thank you for your time.
A general question about the unit: is there a way to map specific effects to all three of the on-board switches? For example a reverb, delay and distortion toggle for each switch. Also, it's a real shame you can't go backwards in scenes or map them to separate switches. Sounds really impractical, having to go a full circle if I accidentally hit the switch.
is there a way you can save different presets to each button like one is the vinai t and then a clean one on the other? is there a way for that? is it similar to what you just did? because this was just one preset i think? thanks!
@@NephiBitor No, we can't. This fact annoying me too and I wrote in NUX support about this yesterday, but they told me that there was not enough memory for such an update :(
Okay following this to the letter. Scene 1,2 & 3 all sound the same. For example s 1 would be a clean 2 crunch 3 lead. But when l save it l only get the last scene on all 3??????. Is there a save step between each created scene or have i missed something??
Thanks to your channel i ordered the MG 30 two days ago :-D One question regarding the scenes - is it somehow possible to switch back from S2 to S1 instead of switching to S3 and then S1? Thanks for your help!
@@ThePedalGuy this is why I prefer a floor modeler that turns certain effects on and off with it's own switches instead of scrolling up and down patches. My old digitech rp 500 and my new Zoom g3xn does it, I can program each switch to independently control one effect only. I did have an old digitech rp 250 that only scrolled up and down so I programed that kind of like you did here. Used the same amp in blocks of 3, clean, crunch and lead. Then renamed them to match. That's the only way I could use it in a live situation.
@@louaguado995 you can do that with the MG30 by assigning 3 of the switches, one on the main unit and the two on the bonus pedal, to whatever effect block you choose
Hi, i’m using the scenes that you have demonstrated in your video, i’m trying to set up scene 1 as a clean sound by turning signal block amp off, the clean tone is too quiet for scenes 1 and 2 is there a way to adjust volumes within scenes please ?
You should still use an amp for scene 1. My advice would be to use an amp/cab setup that will sound good as a clean tone for scene 1, then apply an overdrive to scene 2 to dirty up the tone.
In recent months I have tried in every way to increase the volume (in dB) of the solo scene in some way, so that it could be higher than the crunch scene but I never succeeded. I also tried sacrificing the eq block and using it in flat configuration with only an increase in level and putting it post IR but still nothing to do because it still dirty the original sound. Do you have some advice? Thanks
I keep saving scene number 2 with overdrive halfway and then scene 3 all the way up. Its not saving it that way it saves both scenes with the overdrive all the way up. Any idea whats going on and why it isn't saving it right?
Thank you for your videos! They are so helpful!! Can you choose between 2 or 3 Scenes, like the Nux Amp Academy? That is useful for some of us, that we use just two sounds :P. I didn't hear any sound gap when changing the scene. That is crucial. Is that right? Thank you so much in advance :D
@@ThePedalGuy Thank you for your response. And...the volume range of the expression pedal when off can be customized?? For example, from 70 to 100, instead of from 0 to 100. Thanks!
Hey I’m new to this and I have a question. So let’s say scene 1 has a blues drive and scene 2 has a distortion pedal is there any way to make it so that scene 1 stays the selected pedal? Because the entire preset has the same pedals
I know its been a month since you posted this,and probably already figured it out, but I'll answer based on my understanding. When you build a preset you're basically building a pedalboard with limited space. There's only enough room for 1 one of each type of pedal so you choose the blues driver, a delay, a chorus, and a pitch shifter. When you're playing a rig in real life you can turn the pedals from that pedal board on and off. Each SCENE is the equivalent to doing this. Scene 1 could be set to only delay AKA only the delay pedal is turned on . In scene 2 could be set to turn on the Blues driver and and chorus, but also switch off the delay. Then in scene 3 you could set it for a different combination of the pedals selected for your preset AKA virtual pedalboard. If you want a different distortion pedal on your pedalboard you have to make a new PRESET. In real life if when you have limited space on your pedalboard you have to decide which pedal(s) you're going to remove to add a new pedal. Once you've changed the configuration of your pedals IRL you can no longer use the pedal you removed because you have changed your rigs capabilities AKA made a new preset. I hope that helps
Hi, thank you for your video. I think I will buy one ! I have a question about it: do you know if we can control a Boss Katana Artist MKII ? Like using the MG30 as footswitch, without using effect of the MG30 but The Boss Katana just to change preset, bank, etc. Also, do you know if we can use the pedal as expression pedal for the amp but using effect of the Boss Katana (or other amp) Thank you !
Hello, been looking for a solution but I couldn't really find one. Is it possible to use the expression footswitch that comes with the mg-30 to be used for switching scenes BUT only having scene 1 and 2 enabled. Disabling scene 3 only works for me when I assign scene switching to foot switch 4. Help.
