KHAI is a guitarist who favors lead playing over rhythm, with a style NUX Audio describes as melodic and intricate1. Her favorite genres are rock and heavy metal, and she prefers the electric guitar over its acoustic counterpart1. She is an endorser of NUX gear, including the MG-300, the NUX Trident, and the Scorpion JS221.
How KHAI started
KHAI picked up her first ukulele at the age of 61. After time away from the instrument, she rediscovered her passion and began playing the guitar again in 20201.
The NUX MG-300 endorsement
KHAI is a proud endorser of the NUX MG-3001, a compact modeler announced by NU-X in 202023. For a player building one small unit around amp tones and effects, it covers a lot of ground. Guitar World's reviewers found it offers a plethora of sounds, a built-in expression pedal, audio interface function, and support for third-party IRs4. The expression pedal handles volume swells and wah-wah action, and its USB-C output lets it work as an audio interface5. Another Guitar World reviewer found it quite similar to the Boss unit, delivering fantastic modeled amp tones, nice effects, and an expression pedal for a very low price6.
"the NUX MG-300 offers a plethora of sounds for you to utilize, as well as an expression pedal. It works as an audio interface, and you can even load third-party IRs."
For players comparing compact modelers, the MG-300 sits in the same category as other multi-effects pedals, with its expression pedal covering the ground of a dedicated wah-wah pedal or volume pedal5.
