Two powerful DSP chips, White-Box Amp Modeling algorithm, 512 samples IR resolution, electric guitar and bass amp models, acoustic simulation IRs and much, much more headline NUX’s newest modeler
Looking for a powerhouse modeling guitar and bass processor that will knock your socks off, not just for its sound but for how incredibly affordable it is?
Look no further than the NUX MG-400. The value-packed modeler expands on what NUX established with the MG-300, and adds user friendly features that every guitarist will enjoy.
“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,” says Guitar World Tech Editor Paul Riario. “And now, the MG-400 builds upon the MG-300 features, becoming arguably the best value modeler for your money.”
At its core, the MG-400 houses two powerful DSP chips which power the impressive White-Box Amp Modeling algorithm (TS/AC-HD) and Core-Image post-effects. “Which basically translates to ‘You’re going to feel the difference in playability and experience realistic amp and cab sounds from the MG-400,’ ” Paul says.
What else do you get?
For starters, 512 samples IR resolution and USER slot with each patch, as well as additional 12 IR COLLECTION slots. There’s also electric guitar amp models, bass amp models and acoustic simulation IRs with related acoustic amp models; 10 independent moveable signal blocks; a color LCD with intuitive UI; three SCENEs within each preset; an input trim; and five output modes with global three-band EQ for quick tone tweaking.

What’s more, NUX has also included a drum and looper; a USB recording interface with various modes for recording, re-amp and live streaming; QuickTone edit software and signature presets from 17 well-known musicians from around the world.
That’s a whole lot of functionality. But it’s nothing compared to actually hearing the MG-400 in action. And for that, check out Paul’s demo video, where he puts the NUX through its paces.
“The NUX MG-400 is a powerful guitar and bass modeler that offers so much functionality and stellar tones at a price that fits working musicians and casual players’ budgets,” he says.
“Plus, its compact design allows you to take it anywhere from the studio to the stage. You’ll find, like me, its model sounds are seriously on par with many renowned modeling processors. I totally dig this. Definitely check it out.”
To follow Paul’s advice, head to NUX EFX, or purchase the MG-400 on Amazon.
