New NUX MG-400 Modeling Guitar & Bass Processor Multi Effects Pedal

From NUX:

The NUX MG-400 is a value-packed modeler akin to its little brother, the MG-300. MG-400 houses 2 powerful DSP chips for the high-definition White-Box Amp Modeling algorithm (TS/AC-HD) and Core-Image post-effects. Since releasing the MG-300, people have been blown away by the sound and playability, not to mention the ease-of-use tone tweaking and intuitive interface. Now, the MG-400 builds upon the MG-300 feature set with movable signal blocks, 12 IR COLLECTION slots, a flexible P.L block with MIN & MAX parameter setup, an abundant SYSTEM MENU, and a physical MASTER volume knob, making the MG-400 the best value modeler for the money.

TSAC-HD White-Box Amp Modeling

Same Amp Modeling Algorithm as MG-300, for easy tone tweaking. The White-box Amp Modeling & Pre-Efx algorithm offers realistic playability and analog-chaos response. The concept of "Chaos makes the muse" perfectly applies to the analogue circuit. When you tweak a knob, it affects itself as well as other parameters. The white-box algorithm offers real-time feedback, increment-by-increment. NUX TS/AC-HD replicates the playability most guitarists crave in a real tube amplifier.

Impulse Response

512 samples IR resolution and a USER slot with each patch (plus 12 additional IR COLLECTION slots). The MG-400 includes multiple impulse responses of 512 samples each. You can load 3rd-party IR files using our NUX QuickTone editing software (supports up to 48kHz sample rate). The included 25 guitar cabinet IRs combine 4 classic microphones with 3 mic positions for a quick, easy way to jump into the multi-effects experience. Also included are 8 bass cabinet IRs and 3 acoustic guitar IRs, giving you the ability to play bass on the MG-400 or use an electric guitar to simulate acoustic guitar sound.

10 Independent Flexible Blocks

NG, CMP, EFX, AMP, IR, EQ, MOD, DLY, RVB, P.L: 10 independent movable signal blocks. You can move signal blocks freely on the MG-400 and/or in the QuickTone editing software. Set the PATCH LEVEL block in front of AMP to swell the volume. Put the DELAY block in front of the gain stage to create grooving riffs. There are lots of tone creations available with the flexible block routing.

2.8” 320x240 color LCD with intuitive UI

An intuitive user interface with a colorful LCD lets you get rid of reading manuals. Keep it simple!

Scene Functionality

Use SCENES to engage/disengage blocks with either CTRL footswitch. You can assign CTRL1 or CTRL2 to trigger the SCENE Functionality. Each preset has 3 scenes, which are snapshots within a preset. This is a powerful function for live gigs. Each SCENE can engage/disengage signal blocks freely, and it retains the DELAY / REVERB trails when you disengage them with SCN CTRL.

Jam (Drum & Looper)

The MG-400 supports NUX Phrase Loop Synchronization with Rhythm. You can play the rhythm, then record your phrase loop, and the MG-400 will automatically beat-match the phrase to fit the current rhythm BPM. Choose either STEREO / MONO looping (Stereo is 30 seconds, mono is 60 seconds). Two Recording Modes: NR (Normal Recording) works as a regular loop function; press CTRL1(LOOP) to start recording. AR (Auto Recording) stands by after you press CTRL1(LOOP); once you hit the strings, it starts recording.

QuickTone Editor Software

Download the QuickTone editor from the MG-400 product page. An intuitive interface is provided for tweaking parameters, dragging block order, setting up SCN, saving/loading/exporting patches, loading IRs, setting up USB routing, and CTRL SETTING; all by simply using QuickTone.

USB Audio Interface

For home studio and silent practice, the MG-400's USB audio capabilities make it the Swiss Army Knife of guitar audio interfaces. Connect it via USB to your PC to record tracks, reamp, and even livestream. In Normal mode, choose Loopback to play back from your PC during a live stream. Re-amp: the MG-400 offers Dry Out and Re-amp recording applications.
