Great quality, sounds good, a few minor buts . . .
I have had this about 2 weeks now. It has taken me a while to get my head around it. I shall update as my experience with this Swiss Army knife of a multi FX unit grows. What follows are initial thoughts.
Pros: impressively solid, looks like it can take a lot of gigging without problems. Very impressed that it comes with a really nice gig bag and that the bluetooth dongle for connecting to phone and tablet is provided. PC and Android software works well and connects immediately every time so far (a few odd things, of which more later).
Connectivity is unrivalled, two FX loops you can load into any position in a patch, XLRs with level control for the FoH desk, stereo out for your amp(s). Aux in, phones out, MIDI (via mini jacks and supplied adapters), expression pedal expansion slot.
Good built in models and images of a fair few amplifiers. Too many features to list here, suffice it to say you will find anything you are likely to want in terms of amplifier sounds. NAM and IR both supported, although the built in images are probably going to be more than enough for most people. A plus for me, but I know not for others is that it does not have a touch screen. I have used units with these and don't like them - it is much easier to edit using an app IMO. As I use a tablet for music and song sheets I can easily connect at any time and tweak sounds if I need to without having to crawl around on the floor - much better.
Cons: PSU looks like the cable would fall apart if it is looked at the wrong way - so not in keeping with the quality of the rest of the package. In the editing software it does not seem possible to put space in the name of any patch, although you can from the physical controls on the pedal itself. I have only been able to back my settings up to the NuX cloud and not locally, which I am not happy about. There are actually fewer stomp models than in an Audota AME200 Pro (mine will now be my backup) and there are fewer parameters to adjust - I don't know if future upgrades will address this. It is very disappointing that the patch name appears only in small characters at the top of the screen against the huge patch number displayed in the middle - I am used to relying on being able to clearly see patch names so I don't screw up!
To conclude - Lots to learn and I am looking forward to gigging it. A quality product that feels to me could benefit from a bit more development. That said, I have no qualms about relying on it for performance for the next few years at least. I have only imaged one pedal so far, and although the result is OK it does sound a little fizzy - this could very easily be user error.

Great Sound & Quality
The NUX MG-50Li it come in both black and white, I decided to purchase the white one, firstly its not just a Guitar pedal it also has several amp models contained in the pedal machine, effects and amps are easily programmed and I found this fairly straight forward. I am using it in my studio at the moment, but I can see why the MG-50Li would be very handy for live work, handy also is the base amp, any frequency you are not happy with can be altered by the on board EQ. I am only using the MG-50Li for the last few weeks but I am surprised at the possibilities for this Pedal machine, Sound and quality are amazing
