Valeton Guitar Bass Amp Modeling IR Cabinets Simulation Multi-Effects with FX Loop MIDI I/O Stereo OTG USB Audio Interface GP-200LT

While I have a descent pedal board I wanted something for practicing, mostly with headphones. Also I wanted and interface for recording to DAW software. The GP-100 does a great job in all areas, so much so that I have put my pedal board away for a while. I'm not crazy about some of the amp/cab simulations, but there are enough good ones for me. The effects are really good. I've not used the looper (as I have one) and while the tuner is OK I have a better one, though am mostly using Pitch Perfect (free Windows app) now. PC integration is plug and play. If you want to record to a DAW you'll need to download the ASIO4all driver, or you'll get a significant lag on the signal. This only applies to recording though. I love the clean sounds, choruses are nice and it's great to mess with effects that I would never buy, like the Octavers. If you want an overdrive, for instance, there is so much choice. The hardware is incredible quality for the price, though the rocker pedal is too small for practical use. My unit sits on the floor and I use the excellent PC interface for nearly everything. I just needed a long USB cable and headphone extension cable. I send output to both amp and headphones and just plug in headphones or switch on amp. It would be nice to have an on/off switch and some better preset sounds. Volume levels nearly all need adjusting a lot and drum patterns are pretty rubbish, but it's still incredible value. I had a Beringer V-amp 2, 20+ years ago. It was great, but this is so much better and so configurable. For me this unit could do away with the knobs and buttons, as using the PC is much easier. Just keep the display and foot switches.

I am an amateur guitarist, and have been learning for years. As such, I have tried a great number of effects pedals, both individual and multi effect pedals, with varying degrees of success, but being on quite a strict budget, I have never found a multi effects pedal that I could ever actually recommend, that is until now! In my personal opinion, this one is exceptional! Firstly, given the price paid, it is surprisingly well made, certainly doesn't feel cheap or plasticy. I have found it easy to use and to understand how to navigate through the various menus and sub menus, it is very intuitive, you should not feel overwhelmed when looking at it online! Given it has a built in tuner, a decent looper, an expression pedal, which can be used as a volume control, an array of connection possibilities (headphones/oitput L & R/ USB - PC cable supplied/USB slot/Customizable sound banks/Ability to edit & re-arrange the factory presets/quality patches & cabinet choices/solid build). This unit performs so much better than anything I have ever used, without having to break the bank! I am very happy with my purchase and will certainly be holding on to this unit for the foreseeable.

Fantastic range of tones and features. Very easy to program and edit when plugged into a laptop, but my only gripe is that it is a bit more fiddly to program directly on the peddle. It's possible, but if when it at a gig and you don't have a laptop, but you want to program a bank of sounds, a 2 mins laptop edit could take 10-15min on the peddle. I really haven't explored it to it's fullest yet to be fair though, I mostly just use dirty channels and reverb, with a tiny bit of modulation. I'm pretty sure it does much more than I use it for. I've only briefly tried recording directly with it, and this is where the amp modelling is very impressive! Just recording at home, I can now get a ton of different amp tones that I could never afford it physically fit in my house! And they all sound great too. I used to hate the early days of amp models sounds, but my word they've made huge progress in the last 20 or so years.

Great Multi FX Built like a tank.High quality sounds right out the box .Easy to use with or without the App. They seem to of thought of everything with this pedal.Accurate Tuner.Well worth the money I would recommend this pedal.

As multi effect pedals go, this is an incredible bargain! Whilst the effects aren’t the top of the line, with some time and patience you can get some really great tones out of this, especially when combined with 3rd Party IR’s. The main selling points for me where its flexibility for both bass and guitar, the compact size, array of built in effects, and it’s build quality - I was amazed by all of these, especially for the price. There are a wide array of distortion pedals, effects pedals, amp and cab sims which means you can really get some solid tones once you sit down and take the time to fine tune everything. The preset tones aren’t amazing (as is the case for every multi effects pedal), but there really are some outstanding patches built in, particularly within the realm of cleaner tones. It is so tiny that it can fit in a guitar / bass bag and means you can travel light, perfect for travel; and its full metal body means this thing is built like a tank, and could easily take a beating and the abuse of live and rowdy gigs. The expression pedal is extremely solid and feels like it will last years, and the ways in which you can program it to an array of parameters is really cool, it’s almost as if having a 3rd foot switch if you are tactical about how you set up your presets. Of course this is by no means a top of the line product, but it’s not supposed to be and doesn’t have to be. It is well built, versatile, and affordable. It is perfect for those starting out, looking for something portable, or for use as a backup - I highly recommend Valetone and the GP-100!

This pedal will put my pedalboard to bed permanently, it’s got all the sounds I want and in a compact unit. The quality of the build is very good and should last a long time even with regular use. The effects are great and there’s loads to choose from, designing your own patches is very easy either from the pedal or the software. The amp sims and cabs are very good and when plugging into an amp you can just toggle off the cab. If I could pick a negative at all it would be the quality of the power supply, the cable is horrible and feels very cheap. Overall it’s a brilliant product!

I'm blown away by its sound and versatility. Build quality is also rock solid. But setting it up on PC is a little bit difficult, not much info in manual or anywhere. You'd need ASIO driver (can be downloaded from Valeton website) to be able to use it as sound input device for Windows, and your GP-200 software version should match device firmware version (could be found in settings in global menu), otherwise it wouldn't load on PC.

There are many great multi fx units in this price range and all are great value. This is a well made piece of gear, will do well for live performance. Unfortunatley for me, I ran into a limitation very early on when creating a new patch. There are odd limitations to the effects, each slot only has one type and I couldn't have compression and modulation at the same time. I decided to return the unit and have gone with the Nux MG-30 instead. The MG-30 has fewer footswitches and less I/O, but for me the addition of different mic postitions and more flexible effects processing, so it's a trade off. I loved the red finish of the Valeton, both are excellent value for money, both lack a decent pitch shifter that my old J-Station did well. If you can, try before you buy, both have different strengths and weaknesses
