Affordable multi-effect pedal with looper and beats

The Nux MG-300 is a compact and robust multi-effect pedal designed for use in the studio and the rehearsal room, featuring 24 amp models, an extensive selection of effects and cabinet simulations, a built-in drum machine, an expression pedal, and a clear colour display. Powered by Nux's TSAC-DH technology, the pedal delivers a highly realistic playing experience across all amp and effect emulations, while its high-quality AD/DA converters ensure a crystal-clear signal output. This feature-rich design provides exceptional performance and impressive dynamics for its price range, while its versatile connectivity and USB support allow easy computer control via the Quick Tone software.

Extensive options for many styles

The centrepiece of the Nux MG-300 is its colour display, which provides a clear overview of the 24 amp models. These include emulations of iconic classics like the Roland Jazz Chorus and Fender Twin Reverb for clean tones, along with powerful high-gain replicas. The effects section of the MG-300 includes essential reverb, delay, and modulation effects, along with unique special effects, and integrates impulse responses from 24 virtual cabinets and speaker types, paired with four different microphone models, offering extensive sound-shaping options and support for third-party IRs. For practice, the built-in drum machine features 56 drum loops that can be synchronised with the looper.

Numerous interfaces for flexible use

In addition to a guitar input, the Nux MG-300 is equipped with an output jack that also doubles as a headphone connection, an AUX input for external audio sources, and a USB interface that enables direct recording to a computer. The USB port also allows convenient editing and sound customisation using the Quick Tone software, which is available for download from the Nux website.

The perfect starting point

Whether practising at home with the built-in drum machine and looper, rehearsing with a band, recording high-quality tracks in the studio, or performing live, the Nux MG-300 will handle everything with ease, and thus represents a perfect introduction to the world of multi-effects. And despite its impressive versatility and performance, the MG-300 remains affordably priced, making it ideal for beginners who want first-class sound and user-friendly operation. Thanks to the wide range of connections, including an AUX input, headphone output, and USB compatibility, the Nux MG-300 will prove itself to be a highly versatile tool suitable for nearly any musical situation.

About Nux

The Chinese company Nux was founded in 2006 and manufactures audio equipment and accessories whose extremely affordable prices are of special interest to those with small budgets. The wide range of Nux products includes a large number of digital and analogue guitar effects units, amplifiers for electric and acoustic guitars, e-drums, digital pianos, PA systems, and wireless systems. It also includes small audio aids such as compact USB interfaces, loopers, tuners, and DI boxes. The manufacturer's extensively equipped multi-effects, featuring their patented TSAC algorithm, stand out in particular - with their digital circuitry realistically emulating the sound and operation of analogue equipment. Nux's multi-effects are thus reputed for delivering an absolutely authentic sound and an extremely natural feel.

From living room to rehearsal room to stage

From practising in the morning and rehearsing with the band at noon to performing at a gig in the evening, the Nux MG-300 is a dependable companion, and it will work seamlessly with a power amp and connected cabinets, a full guitar amp, or directly with a computer for recording. Thanks to Nux's TSAC-DH technology, the pedal provides dynamic, powerful sound generation and features an extensive range of amp models and effects, which can be customised with additional impulse responses for a truly unique tone. Not only is the sound vibrant, but the brightly lit colour display also provides a clear overview of the selected amp models and effects within the current patch.

Nux TSAC-DH technology – authentic sound from chaos

NUX's patented TSAC-DH technology is based on the principle that adjusting a single parameter on a real analogue amplifier, such as the equaliser or gain potentiometer, always impacts the overall sound. In contrast, conventional digital circuits typically produce a linear effect, failing to replicate the behaviour of an analogue amp. With Nux's TSAC-DH technology, the MG-300 provides a sound and operating feel that closely mirrors the authenticity of a real tube amp.

A true VFM for the price

Giannis Zikos 03.12.2021

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.

Best Multi-Effect Pedal for under 200 euros!

Mr.Gandalf 24.03.2021

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!

Very good for this price range!

Update:

After 2 years of daily use, the device is death. I never use it outside home and it was handled with love and care. Unfortunately Thomann couldn’t find any problem but with me just works properly no more than 10/20min, after that there is no sound. Probably the device is tired from poor jazz skills and want something else for his life. I understand.

I will put it in the trash and wish the best of luck.

Thanks for this 2 last years of practice!

SOUNDS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN WHAT YOU PAY FOR

Madhav Kohli 01.05.2021

I was skeptic at first to buy a product from NUX but after a week of using this product, I'm completely in love with it. Though it took 2 months to arrive here in India still I would say the entire wait was worth it. I ordered 2 more guitars from Thomann along with this and the trio sounds amazing.
Trust me this is the best amp modeler and multi fx pedal out there in this price segment.
You can also go in depth by connecting your PC/Laptop/Mac to the MG-300 and explore a ton of sounds.
The best thing about this pedal except the obvious excellent sound quality is that you can directly record your guitar in your preferred DAW without any need of a Audio interface, which saved me a ton as I was earlier going to buy a Scarlett (2i2).
Also the build quality of the body and expression pedal is also good. Though its plastic and not metal, still the plastic used seems high grade and not cheap. The buttons and pedals are also of good quality. The screen is not very big but does the job pretty well.
You can also edit the presets and customize it which gives this pedal a lot of variety and tones to experiment with.
