5.8GHz頻段是一個比2.4GHz頻率更高、開放的ISM頻段，最近幾年開始進入產品研發領域，它遵從於802.11a、FCC Part 15、 ETSI EN 301 489、ETSI EN 301 893、EN 50385、EN 60950等國際標準，少數滑鼠、無人機及無線電話使用此技術，是有望代替2.4GHz無線技術的技術之一。
The NUX MG-30, which was released in March 2021, ignited the topic as soon as it went on the market. It can be regarded as the best multi-effect (modeler) under USD $300 (without TAX).
而6月就發表了第一次的韌體更新，且這次更新有許多強大的功能，所以小編特別來介紹一下蹭個熱度。
And the first firmware update was released in June. This update has many powerful features, so let's check it.
新韌體在預設模式下按壓旋鈕4，即可呼叫原廠預設音色。
You can recall the default patch by press & hold KNOB4.
And I think the best part is the "QUICK SCENE" ~ scene switching function.
Different from the scene design of other brands, NUX only uses one CTRL footswitch to quickly switch the three scenes of S1 / S2 /S3 in sequence. Each scene can define the engagement of BLOCK by itself so that multiple blocks can be switched on and off with one footswitch, and keep DELAY & REVERB trails.
Phrase loop, the new AUTO RECORDING mode is added, when you press the LOOP footswitch, it will not record directly, but wait for you to start recording while you start playing. In this way, when you put MG-30 on the table, you can also enjoy the fun of LOOP.
For the drum machine, EQ adjustments have been added this time to make the drum and Loop more coordinated.
In Normal mode, you can choose "Loopback", so you can also record the audio playbacks by the computer. This is very convenient for playing guitar live stream, that is, the music on your computer can be streamed together.
In Loopback mode, the MG-30's drum machine and phrase loop can be recorded. In other words, you can also use Drum & Loop to do presentations when you do live stream.
For Dry Out, now you can also record a WET track with Input 3/4. Besides Input 1/2 for the Dry signal track, add a new track for Input 3/4, then you can record Dry & Wet tracks at the same time.
After recording "dry signal", you can start "Re-Amp".
Previously, Re-Amp of MG-300 was performed under output 1/2, so it is necessary to mute other audio tracks in DAW, and only play the "dry signal" track.
This new version of MG-30 provides input 1/2-output 3/4, that is, you can set the "dry signal" track to output 3/4 in DAW to play so that other audio tracks are still the original ones. (Output 1/2)
The output 1/2 is played, so you don’t need to mute other tracks, you can play with all the accompaniment to perform "Re-Amp", so you can select the sound effect more efficiently.
Today I will talk to you about an interesting topic, that is, can the NUX MG-30, which is the main "white box algorithm", be close to the leader of the same genre, Fractal? Next, let us conduct a series of blind tests to see if you can tell who is who? Or which one do you like?
EP1: First, let's listen to the comparison based on the Amp Model of Fender Deluxe Reverb.
This amp is the standard configuration of many Modelers and one of the classics of Clean Tone.
Do you like A or B? Which one do you think is FM3 and which is MG-30?
Fender Deluxe Reverb: A=MG-30 , B=FM3
EP2: 再來聽聽基於Fender Tweed Deluxe 5E3這個Amp Model的對比。
這款音箱電路非常簡單，但卻非常經典，那種用力一彈可以逼出過載音色的特性，正是5E3迷人之處啊！
你喜歡A還是B呢？ 你覺得哪個是FM3，哪個是MG-30？
EP2: Let's listen to the comparison based on the Amp Model of Fender Tweed Deluxe 5E3.
The circuit of this amp is very simple, but it is very classic. The characteristic of the overdrive sound can be forced out with a hard strumming, which is the charm of 5E3!
Do you like A or B? Which one do you think is FM3 and which is MG-30?
EP3: VOX AC30, this is also the standard equipment of Modelers on the market. It is full of BOXY sound and crystal clear treble frequency like glass sound. Adding an Overdrive in front will make it sound awesome!
Do you like A or B? Which one do you think is FM3 and which is MG-30?
EP4: Marshall JCM800, the classic among the classics, is also the standard configuration of every Modeler. That iron distortion, the iconic British rock sound.
Do you like A or B? Which one do you think is FM3 and which is MG-30?
Marshall JCM800: A=MG-30 , B=FM3
EP5: Marshall 1987 X 50，這一款其實是很標準的Plexi音色，我個人很喜歡，有別於JCM800，中頻比較飽滿一點，失真程度也沒那麼烈，但用來solo很有味道。
你喜歡A還是B呢？ 你覺得哪個是FM3，哪個是MG-30？
EP5: Marshall 1987 X 50, this one is actually a very standard Plexi tone. I personally like it very much. It is different from JCM800. The mid-frequency is a bit fuller and the distortion is not that strong, but it is very flavorful for solo.
Do you like A or B? Which one do you think is FM3 and which is MG-30?
EP6: The last one is Mesa Dual Rectifier, a classic of metal distortion, even this song is not Metal style, but we can still hear the distortion characteristics of Dual Recto. Different from the iron flavor of Marshall, Mesa's mid-low frequency has a unique flavor.
The above comparisons are not to say which is good and which is bad, but to make everyone understand that with the advancement of technology, the unit price of Multi-EFX/Modeler is no longer unattainable. As long as you tweak parameters carefully, you can also catch a good Tone.
