USE YOUR AMPS | NuX MG 30 4 Cable Method 

Really enjoy your videos. After seeing you mention reaper on an mg30 video, I checked it out. Your right again, it's brilliant. I'm using reaper now and haven't updated cubase to v12, after reading people's nightmares. Thank you again. Keep on keeping on. 👌🎵🎸

Absolutely brilliant cheers from New Zealand 🇳🇿

I cant get over your great atitude, and generousity. Be happy healthy, wise, and of course wealthy.

I love pedals, & so do you!!

absolutely great for the rookie I am. thanks a lot man!

This is the best (probably the only) sensible explanation where to put S/R section in the signal chain and why the AMP section should be bypassed. My sound was awful too and I was investigating if it was a problem of the configuration or the hardware itself. Thanks a lot!

Dude! Thanks!

just got an MG-30 and your videos have been super informative! Quick questions: 1) for the Duo Delay- does it allow you to change delay types I can't seem to make it move beyond the shimmer mode and 2) is there a way to route theDuo delays to mono , I can't hear the second delay just using a mono out. Also 3) is there a way to adjust paramaters on the other delays, e.g. saturaton on the Tape Delay? Thanks again for all your help these are great videos!

Thanks for this and your GREAT playing! As I am using the Steinberg UA22 as my audio interface, enabling me to use 48v phantom power for mic recording, I wanted to go from the mono out of the Nux-MG30 to the in of the Steinberg and into Garageband or Logic Audio. Will that work ok? I have a ton of pedals as well. May I daisy chain them to the Nux? Using Mac OS. Can I keep the Nux plugged into the midi port of the Mac so I can use the Quicktone software while using the audio out of the Nux to the in of the Steinberg? Can both of them function at the same time or do I have to change the parameters in Garageband when changing between both of them if I use the Nux for recording bass and guitar and the Steinberg for all other types of recording?

Thanks for this very usefull video! I have a question: can the 4-cable method also be used on a tube amplifier? So with Nux S/R turned off pre-amps tube should be bypassed, right?

Hey Scott, you make all these videos fun! Really cool! I have a question, are you familiar with the Yamaha THR30II portable amp? Would I be able to connect the MG30 to it? It only has a Line Out L & R right port. Or would I be better using speakers? If so, which ones? Sorry for the many questions.

Wow what a great explanation, very useful man. Just to understand, stack front exclude IR block..but what about stack rear? Thanks!

Please can you do a similar video for the ampero 2? I don´t know which is the best option for configuring 4 cable method in the signal chain. Great content in your channel.

Thanks man. Is there a way to use of the 4-cable method and simultaneously make the wet sound come out, from the 2 exits with the cab simulation? So I can use the amp as my own speaker on stage, and the wet sound going to the mixer Thx in advance, cheers from italy

Just curious, if you have this setup in 4cm. Can you still use the amp models and IR's without changing cables around, by turning off the send and return and resetting the output mode? Cool tutorial btw thanks!

Not to do with 4 cable method. I've discover you can use the pan delay like a dimension D chorus. Place it at the end of the chain, dial zero repeats and speed. You still get an interesting pan/ modulation. I use this to enhance my stereo live sound. 👍🏼

Hi, just curious, I would like to split my bass signal and send a dry bass signal to my bass amp and I want to send another wet signal to a guitar amp that comprises of a pitch shift of an octave up sent to another pitch shift which adds a perfect 5th to that 1 octave up signal with no dry bass signal then into some distortion so I can send this wet signal to the guitar amp when the guitarist does his solos, to fatten the sound a little as we don't have a rhythm guitarist to do this. Does this unit have these capabilities?

good video bro, I have a question and sorry if it sounds a bit ignorant but I want to be sure, it will also work with a Boss katana 100 amp right? And if it would work, I would have to disable the IR of the nux, right?

Can someone clarify why you need four cables I have the fourth cable going into my quilter head it's not changing the sound I pulled it out it doesn't sound any different

hi mate, cheers for the vid. I am trying to use my NUX within the FX loop of my DSL5, I was hoping to have an OD in front of the S/R and delays / reverbs behind. I have dialed in a tone I want with the dsl (just a cable direct with my Les Paul) Even with every effect turned off , it completely changes the sound of my amp once engaging the nux in the loop, a lot flatter, less presence. I didnt think the NUX would colour the sound until I introduced effects etc. Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Feel like it’s something to do with EQ and volume levels , not sure what to start with the get the original amp tone to come through

Is your bitwind is a amp and cab in the same time? Or they are different?

👍🏻👍🏻

I can't find any information about how to bypass the mx-30 if it's in your pedal chain? Is it possible?

Hi Pedal Guy, nice videos about mg 30. In another video you said to prefer rear mode, so what about the rear mode? May I use the same physical connection scheme (4 cable) or should I go from nux out directly into the amp return? To be more precise, assume I want to leave mg 30 always connected to amp and cabinet , which kind of connection should I use If I want alternatively use physical amp or simulated amp without changing anytime the connection? Thanks

Nice! Everyone else shows HOW to setup 4CM but not how to USE it! Smart, Thanks! Question though - you attached the Output Mode to a Patch. If you change patch the Output mode goes back to 'Studio Direct' right? Also, within that one patch you are working on, can you change the Amp? More specifically, I imagine on a gig or rehearsal I would want to use the 4CM on different songs with different amps and EFX. So probably different patches (or maybe scenes, prob not). Would I then just have several Patches each configured as 4CM, each with it's own Amp and EFX and scenes? Please let me know if that is the way you would do it?

So with the left and right outputs on the unit. Do you use a standard guitar cable or speaker cable?

Scott, I have an old Peavey Classic 30. How can I use the M30 with that this amp. All it has is an effects loop. Thanks.

Hi The Pedal Guy! very interesting video thank you! I'm a new NUX MG-30 user and I'm using a nux mg-30 connected with the 4 cables method on an Ampeg 2x12 combo valve amp for guitar , for live use I equipped myself with rather long although of good quality (3x 6mt to reach the amp send,return and input and 4.5mt from the guitar to the pedalboard input), from the tests I'm doing I find that the sound is cut a lot on the high frequencies adnd with so less dynamic even changing output mode and global eq I assume due to the length of the cables, Do you think I would solve it by putting a buffer pedal between the guitar and the modeler? ( like for example a Warwick RockBoard Natural Sound Buffer ) thank you !!

hi what output mode if I will just connect mg30 output to the return of the physical amp?

Hi, thanks for the content I used the 4 cable method, but I noticed that the output mode equalization greatly influences the sound. Is there any way to turn off the equalization? Even without any effects, the sound is very different and bad,no matter how much I adjust the EQ Thanks PS; I'm using de output mode Stack front and theres no preamp active

Hello! You said that you use stack front output in mg30 but you actually don’t!? I see the IR on the mg30 device! Normally in stack front mode should bypass the IR signal block!

Can i download amp or cabinet to mg30 ?

Hi! In your opinion, what's the best way to set-up the mg 30 for extracting the most from the acoustic guitar IRs when playing an electric guitar?

What is the difference between front of stack and back of stack? (besides bypassing IR). I find when I use front of stack, the sounds are kind of thin, and when I use back of stack it sounds like the gods have blessed me with the power of rock

I see that there is a mg400 now, does that mean a mg40 is coming? Great videos by the way

Can you test the brand new Boss effect processor gx-100 ?

Do you know what is the best amplifier to use for nux mg 30?

So this would work just like a pedal board? Use the effects with my amp's tone like I would with pedals ? Could have saved a fortune in pedals .

Stupid question: what's the difference between Stack front e stack Rear? When should i use one or the other?

I want to asked something That can we connect this processor with any speaker and play from it without amp or pc

Can you set this up so you only use the preamp of the model? so into the power amp of the real amp? 2 cable method

hi may i know can i just use one amp ? as my ampil is boss katana any idea?

I did that as the described connection but lost volume control on the mg30 it’s just full volume. So what am I doing wrong?

Hi is it posible to use two reverb pedal in mg 30?

Hello and many thanks for this very clear video. Just one wondering. If you disable the amp section, you loose all amps simulation from the MG30 so you will only have the "sound" of you own amp. Why not using the MG30 just in the return of you amp and you the amp as a "cabinet" and take benefits of all simulations from the MG30. I totally understand your setup but I don't understand why doing it?

What's the difference between stack front and stack rear

When using Ampero II is there also a stack front option? Or should I just make a chain with a preamp (instead of amp), and no Poweramp/cab? Also, I don't understand why I always see a noisegate at the start of a chain. Shouldn't that be at the end, gating out all the noise caused by the stuff earlier in the chain?

How to activate send and return without pc?

After turning on the “send and return” the volume is gone

damn! I only have 3 cables :(

I assume that it sucks out your tone isnt it?

Why would want that thing just amp fine

I thought you were bald! :O
