Realistic Amp Modeling with TSAC-HD
Powered by TSAC-HD (True Simulation of Analog Circuit – High Definition) white-box modeling technology, the MG-101 captures the dynamic behavior, harmonic complexity, and interactive response of real analog amplifiers. By simulating how analog circuits interact and respond to playing nuances, it delivers expressive feel and natural “analog chaos” that inspires musical creativity.
Impulse Response Technology
The MG-101 features 512-sample impulse response processing for detailed and authentic cabinet simulation. It includes 25 factory IRs, each matched to its corresponding amp model, plus 12 user IR slots for expanded tonal customization. Load your own WAV IRs and experience studio-quality realism in any environment.
Essential Effects, Made Simple
With 10 signal blocks, the MG-101 provides the most essential effects guitarists rely on—overdrives, distortions, modulation, delay, reverb, EQ, and more—without overwhelming complexity. Everything is designed for fast access and musical results, making it ideal for beginners and streamlined setups alike.
Guitar Livestreaming & Recording Ready
The MG-101 is built for the modern guitarist. Connect directly to your computer or mobile device via USB (using an OTG adapter) to record or livestream with ease. The TRRS headphone output allows you to plug in a headset with a microphone, transforming the MG-101 into a compact livestreaming rig with clean, direct sound.
JAM Mode: Looper, Drums & Practice Tools
Enhance practice and songwriting with the integrated Phrase Looper and drum machine with auto tempo detection. Create layered guitar parts on the fly and jam with rhythms that automatically follow your tempo. Choose Stereo (20s) or Mono (40s) looping, and activate drums directly via the footswitch. A built-in metronome further supports timing and rhythm development.
