Pro-Level Modeling
Since we announced MG-300 the best-budget compact modeler on the market ever—people started noticing our TS/AC-HD (White-Box) Modeling Algorithm. It offers you realistic amp response and playability. And now, the MG-30 provides you better definition from HD to 2K !

Holding the HOME/GLOBAL BUTTON enters the Global Setting. Here you’ll find lots of great application designs.
Amp Models ~ Less is More!
Working musicians don’t need hundreds of mediocre amp models.
Knowing this, we focused on 35 classic essentials, and made each and every one live up to the standards of the most demanding players. Included in our top-shelf collection are: 28 electric guitar amp models, 2 acoustic amp models, 5 bass amp models.
Need to record a bass track? MG-30 offers 5 great bass amp models and 8 bass cab IRs.Simulating an acoustic guitar sound? MG-30 provides 3 acoustic IRs and 2 acoustic amp models for electric guitar to simulate acoustic guitar sound.
*Note: We offer BIAS parameter on Valve Amp Models, so you can tweak it to adjust the warmth of your sound.
For cathode biased power amp, there is no BIAS parameter.
Impulse Response
NUX created the iconic Solid Studio which was famous for its great sounding cab IRs with 8 legendary mics and 3 mic positions . . .
. . . so we decided to include these beloved IRs into the MG-30. And, yes, we also included bass cab IRs andacoustic IRs. For each patch, you can load a 3rd party IR. It means you can load 32*4=128 IRs into the MG-30.
*Note: MG-30 drives 1024 samples IR resolution.

Pete Thorn
Read More
While prolific guitar sideman Pete Thorn may refer to himself as a “guitar nerd” – his resume proves he’s anything but. His effortless, dynamic playing has landed him onstage alongside such legendary artists as Don Henley, Chris Cornell and Melissa Etheridge among others — and his debut solo CD Guitar Nerd garnered critical praise and landed on CD Baby’s top selling albums list.
In his late teens, the ambitious Edmonton native packed up his guitars and moved South of the (Canadian) border to attend Los Angeles’ famed Musician’s Institute. After graduation, he joined the LA-based band Surreal McCoys who signed with Sony Music Japan. While Surreal McCoys didn’t last, it was Thorn’s experience working with the band’s lead singer Frank Simes (who also worked with Don Henley, Mick Jagger, Warren Zevon and Stevie Nicks among others) that allowed the talented newcomer to make valuable inroads in the Los Angeles music industry that would pay off long-term.
