NUX MG300 vs VALETON GP-100 Shootout!

Рет қаралды 92,614

Күн бұрын

The NUX MG300 and Valeton GP-100 are two of the hottest guitar processing effects units on the market today both with CAB IR's and the NUX MG300 with AMP IR's, they both have faithful recreations of popular and legendary effects pedals.
UPDATE: the MG300 now has acoustic simulation with Firmware update V.3

NUX MG 300 amzn.to/3tzjy0L
Valeton GP100 amzn.to/3tx0Jvh
Both modelling guitar processors have aux in and headphone out for silent practice and stop box modes for live use.
With a tuner, looper, drum machine and the ability to connect to a PC or Mac making the units audio interfaces, couple that with the software editors that these units have and the fact that they are both around $140 makes them perfect practice units and can even be used live as stomp boxes.
Both have amps ranging from Fender, Marshall, Vox, Friedman, Mesa Boogie, and effects pedals such as the Boss blues driver, super overdrive and the Ibanez Tube screamer and Big Muff to name only a few.

Cheers Derek ... just found yor channel & your vids.Good stuff man and ya come across as knowledgable and good spirited. Both these products seem fairly equal and top quality over the others(they know who they are lol). With that said, i've been doing MUCH research and vid watching(love KZfaq for gear reviews), and it simply came down to one thing that i havent seen many talk about... USE OF THE PEDAL!!! Which product would you say had a better pedal feel,motion,ease of use,and the "Throw" in em or how hard and far did ya have to travel downwards to achhieve desired effect sound??? The Valeton (from looks alone) looks like a MUCH BETTER pedal for home studio,stage,gigging use...and that solid metal construction is hard to beat for longevity of a product with Live band situations!! Thanks in advance for your opinion on this subject,ya have a new subscriber here now as well,Staysafe and PEACE Derek....(sorry about it being so late after the post of this video,but as stated,just found ya!!!) #MusicMaker69

Cheers John, it's always good to chat to people who are passionate about these things! that's a good question, in my experience with them i'd say they were on par with each other with regards to getting what you need easily and the range of sounds and throw of the adjustable parameters, i found the NUX to have slightly better tones, but that's going to be subjective, the Valeton on the other hand is really good for the money and will probably take a better beating in gig use, i reckon you can't go wrong with either for what you'll need gigging tone wise, the Valeton as i understand it has a stomp box mode, but i found the NUX to have the same sort of thing if you set your sounds up and stomp between them at a gig. Anyway, rambling on....hope that helped and thanks for subscribing and sticking around :) cheers!

I believe the Valeton shares its modeling from its big brothers the ampero. The headphone out is good but could be louder. It sounds damn good with cab sim off through a traditional amp. I’m running the Valeton through a Marshall dsl1 to a 1x12 closed back and its great.

Both pedals sounds very good. In this video using OD effects, NUX seems to have more gain than the Valeton pedal and it is not a problem, setting up the gain knob. But in my opinion the sound of NUX has a little more middle frequences and Valeton sounded more faithfull to the Strato timbre. I don't know if it's different playing with other guitars, but I thought Valeton a little better. But both seems to be great pedals. Thanks for the video, sir!!! Cheers!!!

I already have a gigging guitar rig consisting of individual pedals and amp etc, but I'm keen on getting something simple that I can use for when I play simple, solo and duo performances DI'd into the sound system with an electric guitar that also has a piezo pickup under the saddles. Seeing as I would just be looking for something that I can program a decent electric preset with a little bit of gain and an acoustic preset (using an acoustic guitar IR), all in one unit using the same guitar. I'd say that the Valeton is the one that would work for me.

I'm really stuck between these two. I really love everything on the NUX MG300, but the 26 presets against 99 presets scares me. I'm afraid of ending up wanting to play a certain song and not being able to get the specific sound out of it (or something close). I've never had a guitar pedal before. I've only played through my Roland CUBE-15X amp which has some basic lead sounds. So this territory is very new to me. The only thing i know is that i'm interested in experimenting with the drum machine and looper. Do you think i will end up with too few sounds, or is it more than enough to get the sound i want?

@DerekPaulGuitar 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Anders, either unit would be suitable, they both have 198 presets (99 user which are blank for you to add your own and 99 factory presets) they will both allow you to get the tone you want, its going to depend of whether you need acoustic simulation and what type of drum sounds you are after (the NUX drums are better) plus they both have software editors for full customisation, cheers

I have a feeling both can be tweeked to sound almost exactly the same. What came across here is the valeton cleans were nicer and Nux overdrive warmer. I think EQ can make them similar. For the price excellent value for money. I preferred the Valeton slightly.

If I'm only intersted on getting one of these to use plugged into my fx loop (I'll be using my Fender Champion 100XL for amp emulation and I plan to record my amp using a microphone). I'll be using the pedal for both home studio and live situations so which one would be better? I'll only use it as an audio interface for demos as I plan to record my amp with a mic so the amp/cab simulations aren't that important to me. The stompbox mode is nice in the Valeton but I'm not afraid of creating all the presets I need so it's nice to have but not a dealbreaker. If, for whatever reason I needed to use amp/cab simulation, is the Valeton good enough? The Valeton has more pedals but does the Nux have any other advantages over the Valeton? How about the quality of the pedals?

@DerekPaulGuitar 3 жыл бұрын

Interesting that you lean a bit more toward the Valeton, not only due to its feature set, but surprisingly also based on sound. The MG300 sounded a bit throaty on a lot of amps, as if it was asserting its own flavor onto everything, whereas the Valeton sounded quite distinct from model to model. Also found the attack to more natural on the Valeton. The MG300 seemed to be masking/muddling things a bit. Still sounded good, but more like it has its own signature sound. With the Valeton also offering bass sims for my occasional use of bass, I‘m definitely going to now check out more sound samples of that unit. Thanks for turning me onto this device I was unaware of! Was actually looking for a comparison of the Nux Cerberus with the Nux MG300 (having summarily dismissed the new MG30 from the competition based on its wishywashy sound). Still curious how the Cerberus might stack up soundwise in this field...
