Precise, Intuitive Controls
The MG‑30 combines a large full-color LCD, dedicated knobs, and footswitches with a built-in expression pedal, letting you edit presets, tweak effects, and switch scenes effortlessly.
Full-Color LCD Display
A large, easy-to-read screen shows amps, IRs, effects, and signal chains at a glance, making navigation fast and intuitive even in low-light or live settings.
Dedicated Knobs & Buttons
Access EQ, gain, modulation, and effect parameters instantly without diving into nested menus; real-time tweaking has never been easier.
Footswitches & Expression Pedal
Switch patches, control wah, volume, and other expressive effects on the fly, giving you hands-free control during live performance.
Plug-and-Play Workflow
Intuitive layout means you can start crafting tones immediately. Beginner-friendly while offering advanced control for seasoned players seeking precise adjustments.
Satisfying Visual & Physical Feedback
The LCD display, knobs, and buttons gives you real-time feedback, letting you make adjustments confidently in both live and studio settings.
Extensive Hardware Connectivity
With flexible inputs and outputs—including instrument, stereo L/R, send/return, aux, USB, headphones, and expression pedal—jam, record, or perform live exactly the way you want.
I/O Practical Applications
Gig, Home Practice, & Recording
Plug in your guitar or bass and start playing instantly.
- Perfect for home practice or recording sessions.
- Works with passive or active pickups, thanks to high input impedance (~1 MΩ).
Example: A bassist can plug in directly and select one of the 5 bass amp models for recording a track without needing a cabinet.
Direct-to-Computer Recording
Record a guitar track directly into your DAW using MG‑30’s amp modeling and IRs. No microphone or amp needed.
Edit or organize patches with QuickTone software: drag-and-drop amps, cabs, and effects, then instantly save them back to the pedal.
Integrate External Pedals or Rack Effects
Scenario: You want to use a favorite overdrive pedal after the amp modeling but before modulation/reverb. The Send output sends the signal out to your pedal, and Return brings it back into the MG‑30.
Great for players who already have analog pedals and want to combine them with digital amp modeling.
Connect to a PA System or FRFR Speaker
Running the MG‑30 in stereo: a clean chorus effect pans across left and right speakers for immersive stage sound.
Mono output: Perfect for simple rehearsal setups or small practice amps.
Expression Pedal / Remote Footswitch
Real-time control of effects or scenes.
Plug in an external volume pedal and control dynamics during a live solo.
Or connect a remote footswitch to switch between 3 different amp/effect presets while performing on stage without touching the MG‑30.
Jam Along with Backing Tracks
Plug your phone in through the aux port and play along with YouTube drum tracks or MP3 backing tracks without needing a mixer.
Silent Practice or Direct Monitoring.
Plug in to the headphone output and play at home at night using headphones. You still get the full amp modeling, cabinet simulation, and effects without disturbing anyone.
Great for studio recording: check your tone before sending it to the PA or DAW.
Unlock the Full Potential of Your Rig
With QuickTone™ software you can fine-tune patches, load custom IRs, update firmware and manage your entire MG-30 library from your computer—then plug in and perform with confidence.
QuickTone™ Editor Feature →
Faster Editing & Visual Clarity
Instead of navigating small screens or multiple menus on the floor unit, you can see the full signal chain, blocks, IRs and amps at once on your computer.
Real‑Time Interaction
When you tweak the physical knobs or effect parameters on your pedal, QuickTone reflects those changes in real time — giving you visual feedback for what you’re doing.
Preset Organization
Helpful for players who switch many presets for gigs, rehearsals or studio—QuickTone gives you more room to organise than the pedal alone.
Block Routing Control
QuickTone allows you to reorder signal blocks (amps, effects, IRs) easily, giving you flexible control over how your signal chain is structured.
IR & Amp Model Management
Since the MG-30 supports third-party IRs and seed models, QuickTone gives you a more convenient way to manage and load custom content, and fine-tune offline.
USB Routing Configuration
QuickTone supports different USB‑C audio routing modes, like NORMAL, USB Loopback, REAMP, and DRY OUT
Backup & Safety
Helps you create backups of your patches, so you’re less likely to lose your settings if you update firmware or change hardware setups.
Firmware Updates
Keep your unit up-to-date with the latest features and improvements.
