The new Donner arena 2000 is even more affordable and really worth a try for just half the price as the Nux. Nux and Donner have both amazing affordable units that really should fit the need of most of us non professional guitar players, take this in consideration before you spend insane amounts of money on the high end stuff that is just overloaded with features that most ff us will never need. cheers 🎸🎸

The Arena was cool but I had to return mine. It would not connect to it's own app on my pc so I couldn't load custom IR's. On the second day all usb connectivity just stopped working so I couldn't even use it as an audio interface. Maybe just bad luck but I guess I'm sticking to plugins for a while.

The Donner sucked for me, buzzed like a mf and I was getting electric shocks from it. Couldn't connect to the app or to the PC either. It was a disappointment. NuX hasn't let me down, currently got the MG400 and it's great.

Idk if these videos do as good as swola in views but for what it’s worth, this is the stuff I REALLY look forward to.

Props for catching that non-stereo limitation on the unit. Tons of people have reviewed it now, and yet you're the first person I've seen mention it.

New units are great, honestly you can buy any like that and keep it for years, I still have my GT1000 and don't plan to upgrade soon. We live in a good time to be musicians

Just love the black and orange look like the HM-2

I literally JUST saw this used in my Guitar Center yesterday, and now there's an Ola video. crazy!

Please go back to doing more In The Room videos! These are my favorite and they really help when when looking to purchase a new amp

It's funny, I was looking at this product the other day. Thanks for the review Ola. Might have to give it a try.

I bought this and I think that its pretty good as a gateway to digital modifying amps. Its the first modifying amp i ever bought, and I think it does its job pretty damn well at that price range 👍🏻

It's amazing how technology has brought really good tones to the masses and made them affordable. Kids these days should be made to play through a Zoom 505, a Line 6 Pod, or a Johnson J Station to appreciate what they have now.

Just bought today! now just waiting to arrive :D

3:40 - Sounds like Knockin' On Heaven's Door by Guns N' Roses! 🤘 A little like Dokken also! 🤘

I own a NuX Cerberus for a long time and it's like a Swiss army knife. It can be used in a very pedal-friendly mode, or with presets which is great for a live purpose. However, I feel like NuX missed the train with the Trident, compared to some similary-priced units. For example, I bought a Valeton GP-200. The sound may be a little boxy, but a BBE Sonic Stomp in the FX loop make it chug great. In addition, you can disable the IRs on the left output of the GP-200 and keep it enabled on the right, which is great for live : the left output goes through a poweramp and a cabinet, and the right output goes straight to the mixer ... but you lose the stereo. It would be great to have your views on this unit, Ola !

I'm a Nux fan. Also Boss Mxr.. Just subscribed. Nice Mancave buddy looks chill have a good one 😎✌️🎸💯

Dual Rectifier is missing some of that low end bite but overall pretty good

Hi, Ola, It's good that you mentioned stereo operation of this unit. What about effects - may be Trident's effects has mono Input and stereo Output, just like it little brother Cerberus. So if you turn on e.g. single reverb or single delay it goes stereo but if you engage delay and reverb simultaneously only reverb will produce stereo output. But it's only suggestions (I have the Nux Cerberus)

That guitar is beautiful.

Love the look - metalzone chic

Just tried a few older Nux products at some point but most of them had much better sound quality than build quality. Build quality is easy to catch up, this one seems well built and also doesn't sound bad, but multi-fx units are just not for me.

@MiroslawBlazek-Gdansk

Take a look at MG-30 (note: it's newer than the 300)

Thoughts on this vs Boss me90?

I actually like this one a lot. Most multifx units are essentially production tools and have too much room for innocent mistakes on inexperienced guitar players. This one's more of a unit for the guitar player. So easy to use there's no fucking it up whatsoever.

Big displays crank the price up higher than it has to be. I'm perfectly fine with this. Shows that they care about more than inflating the price tag. Really have to wonder about the lack of stereo delays though. Obviously marketed towards bedroom guitarists, so that's a pretty glaring oversight.

Love the form factor of this, cleans sounded pretty good, and it does high gain well as expected. How are the medium gain tones?

there are so many professional musicians now specially in Asia that are using NUX pedals as their main gigging tool.

Correct ! I am one of those! This unit in a live situation sounds as good as units many times the price .

I just want to say that guitar is beautiful.

Is Nux just a new name for Zoom? The back of that pedal looks rather similar to the old massize zoom effects units.

Hey OLA? When are you getting a Hermansson amplifier 5 gain stage mod? We all want your opinion !

You're right I like " need " stereo

I'll just share that I recently got a Hughes & Kettner AmpMan Modern, and it is utterly amazing. Maybe check it out!

Wait a minute, surely it must have stereo. The NUX MG-30 has some great stereo FX etc, so I'll be really surprised if that isn't switchable somehow...

Any plans on testing out a Friedman IR-X? It sounds incredible in all the videos I've seen but not enough metal tone demonstrations. I think you'd like it a lot.

10:20 “it would have been nicer if it was in stereo”. Mate that was in stereo right there :)

Do the GP-200 from Valeton next

I have actually heard that the proper pronunciation of the company name is NU-X or sounds like New-Ex.

Definitivamente a NUX parou no tempo.

Can you provide a more extensive review? Using external I.R. or your own? Tweaking the pedalboard's EQ to achieve a better sound? In a chug style.

I don’t know, that last reverb at 10:23 sounded stereo to me.

my sonicake matribox 2 has 64 amps and cabs and spots for ir cabs for under $200

The effects are not in stereo? Hard to believe is that true

They should make one version for metal and call it Tridjent! ;)

Good deal, I value your opinion! (Just saying) 🤘

About the stereo, i would think that only some of the reverbs/delays are in stereo, it certainly was like this on my mooer ge300 lite (which i sold coz it started making problems, it had to be restored to factory settings, and i didnt back up my presets, so i lost everything). My band has a pause anyway, and i hope i can save at least 800 bucks for a good tube amp, until we start playing again, instead of my cheap "vintage" bugera)

Right in the Nux

Not sure about the nux....but omg...i loooove that solar

Cool

Dude even the nux mg300 the cheapest they got sound good for what I see ola was using the studio mode, this unit shares the same platform as the others on this mode there is a pre Eq low,high,mids this will change the sound so drastically on a good way

The pricing doesn't make any sense to me. They basically took the Nux Cerberus, added the amp section and doubled the price. And in the process apparently discontinued the Cerberus, because it has been out of stock for a while. Even their own MG-30 is 130-150€ cheaper, which makes the pricing even more weird. So many great options in a similar price range with the Trident. And if you add 150€ you are already getting HX Stomp. Or a just barely used HX Stomp for the price of this one new.

Thanks Ola. It chugged but not really in an extraordinary way. You didn´t even load your IRs. Wasn´t it possible ? I don´t mind that much of the lack of stereo as of that it doesn´t really sound killer. Very mid rangey...

does it chug

Man, I remember when i was a total analog douche, now all those things sound great and they´re affordable, im thinking to get som ampero o something on that level.

Sounds decent, I'd prefer my BOSS GX-100 but I'd have to admit that the high gain tones may sound better on the NUX. Takes a lot of effort to dial in a good high gain tone on the BOSS but this NUX unit has decent high gain presets.

call me old school....i could absolutely give a fuck about 27 amp models. If ya get one tube amp that sounds good thats all ya need. i fully understand the ease of travel and ease of live setup show and ease of home recording with these....but lest not forget people they are simply an EMULATION of a real amp. have fun with all ya'lls tone sounding identical and stale.

It works for stereo delay (pingpong), chorus, and thats it *i think

There's so many of those types, just give me a good amp, a tube screamer and I'm ready to go ha

I wanna see a Friedman IR X review....it has real tubes

All these modelers sound essentially the same to me. The only one that's really impressed me is the ISP Theta Max Pro. Not a modeler and it has an interface straight out of the 90's with no usb but damn those distortions and the chorus are in a class of their own. Worth checking out.
