@Zoot H Rollo I have this bad boy now for a year, playing it in our rehearsal room. Love the amp tones and get nicely through the mix. Also use the Nux at home with a standard guitar.
Now we will have a new singer auditioning next week, requested to play Time is running out from Muse. We played that one in the past, so I thought no problem... but there is no synth (saw) effect on the MG30
I played the Zoom B3 and B1four before and the Z-Syn effect was great for this. Did you test the Zoom devices in the effects loop of the MG30? I'm now doubting to add a MS60b or B1four as an effects only, or go the easy way and sell the Nux for a Zoom B2four.

my very fresh impression of the unit. I'd also like to add that I've connected it via the effects loop with my b2 four, to have the functionality of both, as b2 four offers some nice effects and especially some nice preamps.
But as far as functionality, the zoom is rather cumbersome to use(even irritating at times due to the unacceptably non adjustable timeout of pop up controls) , and though it can sound nice after some tweaking, the nux is miles easier to navigate, and in my opinion sounds better, more natural.
