NUX MG300 - Tones 

Which set of IRs should I grab if I want to use them in my DAW?

Hey Leon what is the difference between the wav files. Originals are 1mb and others are much smaller file sizes. Using a headrush that accepts wav IR's. Might be a great youtube video topic _ Just sayin cheers

Thanks for the IR's LT ... come in handy brother.

@@tonysinclair9175 different units use IR's of different lengths. AFAIK the Headrush isn't fussy with IR length so try them and see

@@JohnPaulHare try the originals

LOL man! \m/

greatest comment

Why GPS, is it also designed for the tour bus driver? 🤔 And a cupholder would be too low to really use it.

​@@carlosclaptrixhe is being sarcastic 😂

@@sandrosadhukhan Well, I was joking also! :D

MG-30

Thanks mate, I appreciate that! IR - www.dropbox.com/sh/o6xnvx53x6z1n0d/AADLen3H5OU7ZtjgZbR8DQEza?dl=0

Thanks man. Hope you're doing alright under lockdown.

Glad you enjoyed it!

My pleasure!

Yeah the IR's make a huge difference.

can I switch on/off individual effects of a patch with foot switches live ??

@@gldkrn you can control it with a midi footswitch that has a usb connection, there are youtube videos on this

Thank you! Cheers!

even helix really?

Metal zones are great

@@EvilSewnit the tone controls on the metal zone were really useful because I'd never been able to control mids before. Naturally, I scooped the hell out of it.

Absolutely! I started in the early 90's and this sounds lightyears better than my little 20 watt Peavey Rage I started on.

Yeah, it sounds way better than my crate! lol. The only thing I would not skimp on for a beginner player is a decent guitar. Cheap guitars with high action, bad intonation, difficult necks and hardware almost had me quit playing guitar when I was young because I thought all guitars played like that and that I sucked. Not giving up, my dad bought me a Gibson Explorer, then went to a Ibanez G520 Ghostrider. Later purchased Jackson Dinky, Fender Strat, Fender Tele, Fernandez, Charvel San Dimas etc. I went back to try my fake chinese fender and it was still difficult to play, albeit easier than when I was just beginning. A good guitar that a kid is proud of will also give them drive to continue to play.

Very good tones! My question is how is the feel? Does it respond well to picking, is there latency? Basically, does it feel like an amp or does it have that modeler disconnect?

So will be the excuses hehe

@@ronaldfowler7656 2ms, imperceptible.

I'm late I know, but the NUX mighty air would be perfect for you. You get 80 % of the features plus a small good sounding amp that is completely wireless

Far out I absolutely love Queensryche and the whole empire album

I just bought this used for $100 for that exact reason. To take on work trips with my travel guitar so I can play in the hotel room.

got one ...... and i bought a harley benton sg cut the wings of load it with P90 wilkinson .. is awsome... in the car, hotel..i payed 75 pound smile

Those micro pre's are killer! I have the Mesa MK III and Friedman BE ones. Just did a review of the GE300 which is basically their entire micro pre series and effects in one box.

@@LeonTodd I got the UK Gold PLX 019 one. I prefer its JMP model to all my plugins, including Helix. Le Pou is best plugin to my ear. I turn the IR off and run Two Notes WOS. I got it so I could use real dirt pedals running hot, which could cause my DI or mic pres to clip before they hit a plugin amp sim, i.e., I wanted to move the amp modelling outside of DAW. I do not use the PLX much though because I got a JMP50 clone a week later here in AK. I run it into a Captor 8. The tone of the amp is not so dissimilar to any models and IRs etc. The difference is massive in another way though. I can not explain well it in words. Notes from the amp are just so much bigger and more solid. I figure it might be that 420v on the plates doing that. I can not run it on 10 for long, because it is too much for the Captor. Hard to resist though, because it sounds like Angus live in the late 70s. At max a JMP50 outputs nearly 90 watts, so it overheats the Captor. I have to run it on seven and boost with a TI Boost. Sounds like Ritchie to me that way. I have to hit it with distortion to get the tone into the 80s. I do not like running the amp for noodling, because I am afraid of blowing up yet another amp. But I do not have much joy with plugin amps when using the DI of my Audient iD14 (I must be doing something wrong, because others can get great tones from plugins even with something cheap like an Audiobox for their interface). I am looking at an all in one that connects via USB for simplicity. I think AxeFX sounds good, but I can not bring myself to spend big money to noodle away on what is essentially a very specialized computer running audio processing software, which is much the same thing as plugins (I am not one to spend big on software).

@@LeonTodd P.S. No stereo output on this by the look of it. I presume the USB audio is stereo though? Does it also send a dry signal to DAW like my old POD X3 did?

@@aquilarossa5191 you can get stereo by running a TRS to dual TS cable on this. JMP50 sounds so tasty! It's a topic for a full video, but there's a fair difference between a DSP based hardware modeller like the Axe-Fx and running plugins in a DAW. Sub 2ms latency and rock solid stability live with the Axe are big factors for me.

@@LeonTodd hi Leon, does that mean I could run a stereo fx into the nux amp sims and DI?

Ridiculous tones for the price point. I've seen them on Amazon, but you should definitely get in touch with Michael at NuX (michael@cherubtechnology.com) and see if they can get one to you. I'd love to hear you rip on that uber model!

Hi there, do you feel the same way one year later. And would you say this is a good (at least) semi professional recording device.

@@accentontheoff I think these are great units. So much so, I have purchased two for friends of mine as gifts. Incredible value. Sound wise, they get great results.. Not quite the Fractal FM3 which I also have now and not built very tough and limited connectivity. Sonically, they are very solid. They absolutely hold their own well above their price point.

@@jasonwallis3252 Great, thanks for the reply,, guess we are all a little spoilt for choice theses days. I’m also considering the Boss GT1 and the Line 6 Pod Go. The latter sounds pretty incredible on RU-vid videos. Purely out if curiously how good are the FM3s. Don’t get to demo these where I live, hence asking.

The inspiration to dollar ratio on this one is off the charts, lots of great stuff packed in here

This would be a sweet little multi when used with a real amp too!

@@LeonTodd absolutely, I bet it would sound awesome through an amp. Too bad you can't do 4CM..

I bought a zoom g5n just for the sake of silent playing through the headphones. And only chose it for the drum tracks to make things more fun and was quickly surprised by how good the little thing actually sounds. It's no tube halfstack but it's definitely better sounding than it has any business being for the money.

So tempted to grab a HX just so I can have all the M series effects in one box.

Leon Todd The HX Stomp is good value for money and can be turned into a great fly rig

@@LeonTodd I have an old M9 which I love but I’m buying the MG-300 after write this comment XD. M9 weight plus the power adapter always has been a pain in the @ss in my pedalboard. Great video, thanks man!

I was gifted an old Axe-Fx Ultra by my uncle recently, and I ended up selling as my car needed repair. Honestly? I've been getting everything I need with my Focusrite 18i8 and plugins with much less "optional paralysis". This little NUX sounds freaking insane for the price tho IMO!

don't agree. It's actually not the tone what differs small, budget effects and things like fractal, the most. The game changer are all the inputs and outputs and other let's say "stage features" and overall robustness. On the other hand I think actually the real amps are in trouble. There are many people that worship tube amps, that's true but there are more and more young guitarists who never even played tube amp and have no feelings towards it. For most casual players tube amp is just too expensive and too inconvenient in many different ways - many of them will buy small, budget unit with great sound and tons of effects to experiment with. On the other hand many professional guitarists have already switched to fractals and kempers - they are more convenient to tour with and Kemper even lets them to capture the tone of the amps they already own. To be really honest, looking at it objectively, tube amp is just a terrible idea by design - big, fragile, energy-consuming. They succeeded because there wasn't anything better for all those years but it starts to change quickly.

Your a legend mate, Been listening to Ragdoll all morning, i believe you do covers aswell, where do we get them from ?

Couldn't agree more!

I agree @ 10:12 i'm sold on that sound alone!

That's a selection from the album "Leon's Copyright Free Thrash Metal Budget Alternatives".

@@LeonTodd love it!

Same here, loved that thing. Drooled over the 707!

@@Flintbox HELL YES, always wanted the added expression pedal for whammy and wah! 😂

pretty hard to beat. NUX mighty plug is worth a look too

@@LeonTodd Thanks brother. ♥️🤘

Big time. There's lots of creative ways to use them too!

@@LeonTodd Was that Holy Wars by Megadeth?

check the MG30

Yeah for some reason NUX is more focused on Aisan/South Aisan markets, but i guess you can find these on Thomman

And the poker chip... I think Les Pauls look naked without them.

Got one on the way, vid will be up soon!

@@LeonTodd keen for this ! #mg-30

Funny, we're in the same situation. But my GT-6 is falling apart.

Editor works just fine, pretty standard software.

Artificial. Not so good in real situation. Im sending it back.

If they do a "pro" version with more IO and a more robust case it will be epic

Heck yeah, would make for a solid backup.

"Erecto" - love that!
