Valeton GP-200 Guitar Pedal Multi-Effects Processor Guitar Bass Amp

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.

For the price of this pedal it is fantastic. There are some amazing sounds on here, there are also metal distortion sounds which aren't my bag. I have had since April last year and am still struggling, only due to the fact having time between gigs to use it. Because I run through a PA system it's hard to mix when going from clean to distortion and getting the balance right. It is very much endorsed by andertons music as well. There are also Facebook pages to help for those that use them.

Excellent piece if kit for the price. So easy to use. The only problem is that I spend a lot of time playing around with the bucket load of effects etc without playing anything constructive. Sounds great either through headphones or amp. Really pleased with pedal and it's sturdy as well. It comes with a lot of pre loaded patches. And I would't bother paying for other patches off the internet - it's much more fun to explore and create them yourself. I'm off now in search of that perfect Brian May tone - wish me luck!

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.

I’ve been looking for something for a while to help get great tone when recording that doesn’t invite lawsuits from my neighbours. Amping up a guitar to record isn’t practical living in a terrace house. I’ve looked at a few tube preamps and things as I really just want to use my existing set of boss/ehx etc pedals but also want a warm amp sound straight into my DAW for recording. I have an old school line6 pod and many other tools I have used in the past but this beats them all so far. As I said in the title this is also great for live work. You can use a cab and send the amped signal straight to that and from the XLR outputs go amped and cabbed straight to the PA desk. I haven’t sent it to a full club PA yet but I have plugged it into my orange amp and amp less cabinet and both sound incredible. I have managed to create a few key clean and effected tones so far that I am very happy with but this thing comes loaded with a number of solid sounds. Amp simulation is great. I initially had to google a few things I couldn’t figure out. Like switching between effects while using the looper - in the looper options switch from pre to post. Another thing was figuring out A/B switching on the expression pedal - just recalibrate and then pushing full forward worked. I’ve been recording chunks of guitar here and there and everything so for sounds great on playback. Very impressive pedal overall. Especially for the price.

Nice sounds effect

Brilliant processor. Easy to use straight out of the box. Bought for gigging as I was fed up lugging a pedalboard around. Took me about 2 hours to set up all of the patches I needed for gigs with the software on my PC. Sounds amazing. Very happy

First unit I had the save button stopped working so returned it. Second unit was better, it’s a really good product for the price and you can get some decent sounds out of it. I found the software looked a bit cheap but it gives you the extra ease of not having to navigate through the hardware. It’s as good as some other modellers I’ve had that are £200-300 more expensive so would recommend this as a beginner/intermediate product for someone who wants to start using modellers.

trsè satisfait de cet effet guitar/bass. oui, nombre d'effets préprogrammés ne seront jamais utilisés, mais les possibilités d'édition d'effets personnalisés et impressionnante et très simple à utiliser (encore plus à partir du logiciel installé sur un ordinateur (qui rend la manip' plus ergonomique). la connectique offre quasi toutes les possibilités, c'est génial! je recommande ++

Ships and delivers fast, unit is good no damage and works great.

This guitar processor offers excellent value for the money. Out of the box, it sounds great, covering a broad range of tones that will satisfy most players. It’s an ideal choice for beginners and mid-level players on a budget. For clean tones and edge-of-breakup sounds, this unit excels. The tones are clear, dynamic, and very usable for a variety of styles. However, when it comes to high-gain tones, it does fall short, especially at high volumes. I had to return mine because I needed a backup for my Fractal AX8, and while the unit performs well in many areas, the high-gain sounds were fizzy, and despite my best efforts, I couldn't dial it out, even using the global EQ. But to be fair, this is to be expected considering the price difference between this and more expensive units like the Fractal gear. The effects are good, though not quite studio-quality. Still, they are certainly usable and will satisfy most players who aren’t looking for perfection. Another highlight is the free editor software, which is intuitive, easy to use, and allows for extensive customization of your sounds. The build quality is also solid, with all of the controls feeling sturdy and user-friendly. In conclusion, while this unit may not be suitable for those seeking top-tier high-gain tones, it’s a great choice for aspiring guitar players who need a versatile processor on a budget. I would highly recommend it to anyone starting out or looking for a budget-friendly option without compromising on core features.

It has tons of good effects from old to modern type

I'm a home user and my use case is just plugging in the guitar and playing using my headphones every now and then. This pedal filled the missing piece and made everything sound cooler than ever. Hence I bought an amp and started playing out loud. And before I know, I had it connected to my computer recording audio :)
