Lots to like. *by on Reviewed in the United States May 1, 2025* A recent firmware update adds 6 new amps and IR’s. Nux has been reliable on updating firmware and adding features.It sounds good and has the modeling level of the NUX MG-30. Additionally, some amp models are “4K” versions which are a further step up. The boost and drives work great as does the EQ, FX loop and IR’s. The reverbs are adequate but not outstanding. Still way more useful and versatile than the Iridium. The modeling beat the Boss IR-2 and L6 Pod Express IMO. The build is nice and way better than the plastic used by L6. The noise gate could use some work. Maybe adding a parameter like dampening or reduction in addition to threshold and decay via firmware would help. Editors available for PC/Mac/iOS/Android and are easy to use. A global EQ would also be a nice addition. I have some expensive modelers like Fractal. I feel this would be an excellent choice for a beginner or for advanced users needing a headphone practice solution (aux in for backing tracks or use the onboard drum patterns) or as a backup rig for straight to PA that fits in your gig bag. It now has a nice selection of Fender amps (Twin, Vibro, Deluxe, Princeton) and Marshall’s (jcm800, jcm2000, blues breaker) and a 5150 as well. I have not had any reliability issues over two years with two units. ### ⭐ Brilliant Until It Wasn't *by on Reviewed in the United States April 5, 2024* TL;DR I loved this little box, even the software was great, however it's started to develop some problems.Oh it's the same old story: I live in an apartment in the middle of the city, can't really turn up all my glorious tube amps (even with Weber attenuators, I was kidding myself on that) and I had gotten into making some short comedic clips centered around guitar... what to do?I've tried options in the past (plugins, PositiveGrid Spark, Sansamp, etc) and I have to say that in 2023 (now 2024) there are so many good options, that we're really spoiled for choice.Out of all of the latest options I looked at (Iridium, ACS-1, various UA boxes, Kuro's Matamp in a box, etc) the NUX Amp Academy (it's pronounced "New-X", FWIW) really checked a lot of boxes:* Can be operated without software.* Doesn't try to mod every amp under the sun.* Easy to click between presets.* IR loading* FX Loop* USB-C Audio (so you can plug a USB-C cord into your iPhone 15 and shoot video with the output)* Headphone out (so I can plug it into my studio monitors while filming)* Great software* It's $200!While I don't think some of the higher gain amp models sound amazing, the Fender stuff is great, especially if you can rely on your pedals for dirt.The software, having used some of the competitors (ahem, Universal Audio, which makes about the worst software on earth... it's mind bogglingly buggy and bad for how good their pedals sound), is really intuitive and easy to use. Plus you don't have to sign up for an account to use it!I've run all kinds of pedals into it, other preamp style pedals like an HM-2w, fuzzes, distortions and more, and I really like having an effects loop to drop in all the time based stuff (delay, reverb, phaser, etc).It was great! It really sparked my creativity by removing some of the pains of content creation.However, all was not right in paradise. About a month ago it randomly cut volume on me a few times. I thought this was a glitch, and once or twice it was really that the battery in my pedal board's power supply just died (I use rechargeable power supplies, which saves on clutter when they're juiced up).No.And about a week ago it started doing it... quite often... I tried everything:* Factory reset.* Firmware update.* Not running pedals into it (I thought it might be clipping internally).Nada, tostada.The only thing that works is to change to a different model and click back. If I do that, it goes back to normal.But it's a bummer. It means I really can't trust it enough to use it as I have been filming or recording and it cuts out in the middle of a good take. It really robs you of confidence.So I picked up a new UA Lion and a board friendly little DA box (I have others, but really liked using the Amp Academy as a DA box... it works well).Now, I didn't just quit using this thing without attempting to get support. I reached out to NUX a week ago and... haven't heard a peep.Sadly, this will go in a bin (not the trash, I'm not from the UK) along with other pedals I don't use often.I hope they get back to me, I would love to put it back in service.FWIW (in case NUX support reads this) my chain was usually something like this: tuner -> compressor -> wah -> fuzz -> OD/Dist -> Amp Academy Send -> delay/reverb -> looper -> drum machine pedal -> Amp Academy Return -> iPhone/MBP ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing sound quality - IF you move the cab sim / IR loader to the end of the signal chain order *by on Reviewed in the United States April 28, 2023* This is an awesome amp-less solution, once you get it dialed in. That said, for some reason the IR loader/cab sim is set to run *before* reverb, EQ, and the effects loop. This will make everything sound fizzy and harsh - move it to the end of the signal chain using the companion app and the sound quality is amazing.You really need to connect this to a computer to get the most out of it, but once you do there is so much versatility at your fingertips. It has an effects loop (unlike an Iridium), multiple outputs (regular line level, XLR and 1/4" direct out, 3.5mm headphone out), aux in, the ability to turn IR cab sims on or off per output, level controls for every step of the way, a few built-in effects (overdrives/dirt/compressors), 3rd party IR compatibility - really everything you could ask for.I cannot recommend this enough - take a bit of time with it and you'll get an unbeatable sound and an amazing feature set at half the price of other modelers. ## Frequently Bought Together - NUX NGS-6 Amp Academy Amp Modeler Guitar Pedal 1024 Samples IR, 3rd Party IR Loader - Donner DPA-1 Guitar Pedal Power Supply Adapter 9V DC 1A Tip Negative 5 Way Daisy Chain Cables for Guitar Effect Pedal --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/431433178-nux-ngs-6-amp-academy-amp-modeler-guitar-pedal-1024](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/431433178-nux-ngs-6-amp-academy-amp-modeler-guitar-pedal-1024) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
