Still the best channel in terms of detail and musicality 👍

Either of these units would great. Bought myself an MG-30 recently because it's small and convenient. For highest quality recording I have a dedicated audio interface, and amp and cab sims in my DAW, but the MG-30 definitely wins for everyday playing and the inspiration that comes from trying new things without the barrier of much time and effort to set up.

Great comparsion as always. Quick note about the Looper in the MG30. You can switch from stereo to Mono and therefore double it to 60 seconds.

Another great demo song! Your style is so recognizable. Fun comparison. I think I lean towards the Valeton. However, both of them sound excellent and it's very difficult to tell them apart or from the real amps in a mix like I usually say 😁 Either one of these units would make someone very happy on Christmas morning. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🎸👍🎄

I have the MG-30, here are my thoughts. First the problems. To be honest I am having trouble getting a good tone out of it despite quite a few hours of tweaking (25+ hours so far). The EQ does not affect that many frequency bands, even when using the global EQ and EQ effect together, making it harder to dial in the right frequencies and dial out the harsh frequencies. It would be nice if the EQ had more frequency bands. Also the included IRs are not the best, of course you can put on better IRs, but it's a chore since then they often don't match the amp well. When using it as a dry audio interface, you must make a completely dry patch with no fx on it, just setting the output signal to dry means you will still be monitoring the tone from the nux but not outputting it, which I find confusing/annoying. There aren't that many effects that it comes with, not a lot of cool lo-fi effects or interesting things like reverse reverb, just the basics mostly. The gain staging between patches can be hard to dial in and the output gain must be lowered significantly to avoid clipping -- funnily i find that the unit even clips itself sometimes, overall there is too much gain on a lot of different settings that must be lowered and balanced. There is also a certain harshness to it that I can't put a finger on, that is proving hard to dial out. Now Good points about the unit: software and interface is fairly easy to learn and intuitive. Only took hour and a half to learn everything on both the unit and the Windows software, update the firmware, and install computer drivers. Also I see the potential of this unit as some of the amp simulations do sound very close to real. Finally the unit comes with an additional footswitch which is excellent value, keep this in mind when comparing to the valeton.

NUX MG30 might have less amps but they are a lot more faithful to the real thing, especially when it comes to high gain amps. Valeton is great too but has that PODish processed sound which I don't really like. NUX can be used for reamping DI tracks in your DAW as well which is awesome.

Greetings from Russia! no, I don't eat kids for breakfast, I play my own music. week I choose between nux, valeron and mooer ge200. reviews of my neighbors and views across the ocean incline at NUX. Thank you! Now I subscribed 🤘🏻

Hey Leo - I have the MG30 and it is the only FX-processor I can easily dial in on the fly without using external software. It may not sound as good as my Helix LT but for the price it is very good - the inbuilt tuner is superior to the helix imo. I wish you a great christmas.

Thank you Leo for your top tier videos; really incredible! I am hoping that Nux will introduce their own "light" version of the MG30. My setup is my modeling & effects pedals are at waist height, on top of my QSC powered speaker. So I have no use for a built-in expression pedal. I’ve come close to buying an HX Stomp, but the bloated number of amps, cabs & effects is not for me. I’d be happy with even 10 amps and a couple dozen effects. So I like what Nux has chosen to focus on. The Valeton has too much on the one hand, (too many amps & effects) and too little on the other hand. (No mic choices and adjustments, and the oddity of not having a simple on-off switch) Happy holidays to you and your family!

Came for the music and stayed for the gear review. Nice job. I will likely get the GP-200 lt.☺☺☺

Best channel. Best comparison. Best acent

Another intelligently and thoughtfully put together comparison. Great channel. Marty

The quality of your comparissons and reviews is just amazing. Thank you so much for all the effort and detailed information. Now, since they are both quite similar in many aspects, I will order the NUX MG-30 tomorrow, basically because here in my country the Valeton LT is $120 more expensive than the NUX, which does have expression pedal. Leo, Can you please confirm if the USB port in the MG-30 can be used as an output port? I would like to use the footswitches of the unit to control BIAS FX software (via MIDI).

Thank you Leo, great comparison as always! Will you be doing a review of all the excellent gear from 2022, perhaps with your favourites of the year? Either way, thank you for all the videos and wonderful music over the year! Happy Christmas!

So, if I want to explore the effect choose NUX MG-30, if just plug and play no need tweaking use Valeton GP200 LT. I choose NUX MG-30 because can find many variation and flexibility of sounds

So Leo...what happened to your other brother? I remember seeing your song-video's with the 3 of you.... did he become the black sheep of the family?? 🙂 Nice video, very informative. I have my MG-30 for about 1,5 year and everyday it's a very inspiring tool. Wishing you all the best and a lot of musical inspiration for 2023,

im considering those two. this video is very helpful thanks!

That gp 200 has really something. I all the videos you made. It's very interesting. In a band with a good front of house I'm sure it sounds great.

You gentleman are amazing music I always love your reviews and I love to listen to you play rock on my friends

I love mg30 for its size and some features..

Amazing playing! Great comparison!

Thanks Leo, great review!

The Valeton has balanced outputs where the NUX doesn't, that's also an important consideration if using a RFRF.

I really appreciate your videos sir. Thank you! I don't recall at the moment, do either or both come with ac adapters and battery power?

Another informative review, thanks. At 11:40, I cannot tell which amp is which. Is there a label somewhere showing which amp is on the left and which amp is on the right? Thanks for any info you can supply.

thanks for the video Leo, as always, great! Hey, do you know when the Nux Mighty Space is going to be available? I can't find a way to buy it, it seems like it's still not available in the USA. You made a video on it, so perhaps you can find out from Nux when they're planning to release it? I can't find the details on their website. THANK YOU!!

The demo song was really cool

Superb channel for comparation

L'uomo coi calzini colpisce ancora con una bellissima song, che fa passare la recensione in secondo piano, quasi un pretesto per fare buona musica. Un caro abbraccio.

Ok, but do not be scared. Tell us which unit you like the sound more

The other day I forgot to subscribe:) this song is also a great piece, Leo! A bit Stevaish, but better melody again than him. I like ur headless strat. I made my own, a bit still heavy. Now I m making a double f hole headless tele with a luthier together. Based on an IYV telecaster. It s basically identical to Harley Benton. What brand is ur headless strat? Cant see on my phone. Tks!

both are very limited vs a bit more expensive hardware and at lot less expensive plugins. However I prefer the MG30 only for its JC800 (my go to amp) simulation which I find excellent (once you find the sweet spot in the global EQ). I don't have the Valeton but I do have the HX stomp and TH-U Overloud, and in the context of the jcm the best "equivalent" in terms of tone and feel is with the MG30. but again that is only my opinion.

Hello Leo, awesome comparison, thank you! I had a gp 200 but could not get used to switching (and tap tempo) on pedals release instead of press, as it is usual. Is the switching on release still the same on gp200 lt ? Thank you!!

I like the tone of both, I hope to have one soon🙂🤞

The Valeton GP200 units use 1024 sample points at 44.1khz and can be 250-500mS long.

Thanks for the video but the difference can be understood with a hi gain amp model better

I have the MG 30 I think it has better effects. Nux makes great pedals anyways and they did copy the pedal tines quite well

@LeoGibsonGtr According to the GP-200LT user manual for fw 1.2.1 the IR is 44k/1024 bit WAV. On another note - Which would you recommend for someone looking to potentially replace an audio interface with either of those..? I guess that would be a matter of RTL/round trip latency, something usually attributed to the quality of the (Windows) drivers. Gtr > GP200LT/MG30 > usbC > computer (ASIO) > DAW > usbC > back > monitors

I have this nux mg 30 that I use with studio monitors. I wanted to play more "amp" style and so I was thinking of buying a frfr speaker (headrush type)... but for the same price I can get a boss katana. so the question is: better the nux with a frfr or the katana (and stop using the nux)?

magnificent as always my dear friend :)

Thanks! the best explication!

I really love your music :)

I want to try Veleton products but, harder to find in the US. I might have to get the MG 30 because it's available. I wonder why none of the music stores here carry their products? But all of the influencers have one.

I own a boss gt1 and the sound of distortion are better and the other all sounds. And octave.and run on battery. And smaller to get around. Looks like I'm selling the valeton

Leo you run these units into a USB audio interface then into DAW in computer right?Can you tell me what brand and model of the monitors that you use?

Simple conclusion sir 😊

Great channel.. have you done gx100 vs mg30...... trying to decide... thanks

Fun comparison

I have mg30 and it's a fantastic unit ( backup for my fm3) , btw i'll probably buy even the valeton , but do you think it's Better buy the normal 200 since the price difference it's Just 30€ ?

hello. Which do you recommend between the nux mg30 and the mooer ge250? I get both at the same price

Hi Leo, can we do full Dop Tuning in mg 30??

Ciao leo, hai avuto modo di provare la donner arena 2000?

Ciao Leo su questa fascia di prezzo cosa acquisteresti oggi per studio e registrazione in cuffia?

can valeton gp200lt do parallel fx?

Nux very best

valeton wins

Buy non of these units unless you are born deaf. They will impress you for the time you test them in a store, but at home they will fail to satisfy you, will fail to to inspire you, to motivate you and fail to make you love playing guitar.

As rigards im going to sleep
