Know before you buy
The TSAC-HD (White-Box) algorithm focuses on replicating the physical behavior of analog circuits rather than just their frequency response. This results in a more natural, dynamic feel that reacts to your picking intensity and volume knob adjustments like a real tube amplifier.
No. The MG-30 utilizes dual processors to maintain ultra-low system latency, ensuring that your signal remains tight and responsive even during complex playing or rapid preset changes.
The 1024-sample resolution provides a high level of detail for cabinet simulations, capturing the nuances of speaker response more accurately than lower-resolution alternatives. This contributes to a more authentic 'amp-in-the-room' sound, especially when playing through studio monitors or a PA system.
Yes. The unit features high-quality 32-bit AD/DA converters that provide a wide 110dB dynamic range, making it a capable interface for capturing clean, high-fidelity guitar tracks directly into your DAW.
Absolutely. Its durable stompbox form factor is designed for stage use, and the dual-processor architecture ensures it can handle demanding signal chains without compromising performance or stability during a set.
