Mx5 is perfect for me was giving the MG30 lots of thought had problems getting one due to unavailability…so pleased l decided on the Headrush it’s like an Ampero on steroids!🙂

Minor point for some, but a major point for me since I like to run off battery, is that the NUX has a 9 V input so it's easy to run off a battery.

Loving my MX5. Easier to use than the Boss GT-1000Core. Wish it had a Mac Editor though as the smaller screen is fiddly.

I bought the MG30 a few days ago and it’s overwhelming for an old guy who rarely uses more than a OD and Wah pedal. I’m learning a lot from your videos and believe I will be happy with it once I figure it out better. If I really like the MG 30 I might buy a Head Rush Prime unit next year if NUX doesn’t put out something comparable

This is a tough call , I like both , hmm 🤔great informative video pedal guy thanks

Good video.. I'm wanting to get a cheap multi effects or modeler to go direct at small clubs. I don't really need a hundred amps and cabs and 300 effects.. I would only use maybe 4 or 5 different scenes or patches.. Something for clean, edge of break up, crunch and lead and maybe lead with delay and reverb and then maybe from time to time some chorus or flange or phaser for just little parts of songs that I play.. That would be the most.. I do want to use something that has good pitch shifting so I can get those eventide like EVH / Steve Vai sounds though and I never hear anyone talk about the effects and how good they are or if pitch shifting is good, etc.. I understand though. It's impossible to make a video and talk about all the effects.. I would just like to see them listed in the description at times.. Thanks.. Very cool and very good comparison.. I'm looking hard at the Nux stuff and the MX5.. I kinda want the MX5, but I'm not sure I want to pay that much as I would only use it for gigging maybe 6 or 7 or 8 times a year and at home to practice and record for fun.. I'm looking at the Nux 30 and the 400.. Being that the latter is much cheaper.. Thanks again.. I'll check out some more of your videos.. Be safe and well sir.. From South Central Indiana. USA Tim

Hey, thank you for discussing this. I look forward to your next video. I also look forward as to when the MG 30 will be available for purchase. For me as you pointed out, the MX5 has no editor for the PC to make changes. This is a must have. The editor looks great on the MG 30. If the MG 30 has great convincing amp tones, I might get it, have the best of both worlds, the MG 30 and the MX5. Thank you again.

Hi, Thanks for posting this video. I'm new into the electrical guitar world, ( I have been more accoustic) so everything here is kinda new for me. I liked the features of the drums in the NUX G30 but I didnt see that feature in the MX5. What would be the scenario to create the drum in the headrush? I saw you video but actually you uploaded a wav file... What about an external drum pedal or so? Thanks in advance

I'm thinking of selling my Nux mg 30 and buy a Headrush MX5. A little voice in my head is telling me that is not a good idea. I should add 300€ for a tiny improvement: what do you think? Thanks for your videos. They are very helpful

Can I use visual sound 1spot powersupply to power mg30m

Hello, I read first of all, sorry for my English I am undecided about what to buy, I always use analog systems and it will be the first time that I go digital, There is a lot of difference between the processor of the nux vs mx5 (dual core vs quad core) I would choose the pedalboard that gives me more time of use in the future, taking into account the changes in technology In summary, it will choose which according to your recommendation is the one that would give me more use in the future. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it very much.

Hey, I have a question, I plan taking a trip and would like to take my MX5 with me. Can you please tell me how can I backup my presets to be stored on a computer or portable flash drive? This is my saving grace, in case I lose the MX5. Thank you very much in advance for your help.

I use the... "EENNIE MEENIE MINEEE MO" method :)

I need clean, jazzy tones! Where do I go? All modelers are game! TIA!

I pulled the trigger on the MX5 yesterday. The one question that remains is how to reamp with it.

great comparison! looking forward to the tone/sound video comparison coming up. Key question regarding DSP power for the next video: 2 vs 4 quadcore processor - what is the limitation with nux in real terms? there's only so many effects you can add to the chain...please give examples of what these limitations are in your next video. I think this is a critical part in deciding between these two models along with tone quality

Hi. The expression input on the MX5 is it only for expression pedal or can it take a 2 button footswitch. Thanks

looking forward to buy the mx5, i already have the Headrush 108 and i love it!

We can use a midi controller to expand the possibility of control more parameters on the MG30 on live situations?

Dual DSP vs. Quad DSP is not necessarily a difference in power. The quad core DSP used in the MX5 is a 6 years old ARM chip used in e.g. tv settop boxes. Another option for MIDI with the MG-30 is an USB midi host box - which enables use of midi controlers without a computer/phone/tablet. The Headrush Amp modelling is also a bit older and IMHO the amp modelling in the MG-30 is significantly more advanced. There are other reviews who actually where a bit underwhelmed by the MX5 amp modeling.

MG 30

Ampero beats the Mx5 don’t know about the Nux ,bought the Mx5 and returned it a couple days later wasn’t at all impressed. I personally haven’t heard any lower price floor modeler that beats the Hotone Ampero imo.

I snagged a MG30 for $199 at GC.

Can I change MG-30's language? (chinese to english)

Does this guy ever actually play the dang pedals?
