Helix Tones for £120? | Valeton GP-100 Bass Demo/Review

[@Grygore69]

I got one of those a few weeks ago and am having fun with it. Found some really useful tones with a bit of tweaking...glad I got it!

[@JonnyDibble]

I'm glad 😁 Yeah there's some really great stuff in here and like you said, only slight tweaks needed to get you there! 😊

[@Stewkeithmtb]

For the money you can't really go wrong. If there are two really good effects on it, its cheaper than a couple of decent pedals.

[@JonnyDibble]

Absolutely! Great way of looking at it 👌

[@alexskibicki2262]

Awesome demo, johnny. that valeton gp-100 sounds killer on bass. I like how the bass distortion and the chorus effects sound. the flanger sounds pretty cool, and some of the other drives like the green od and the super od sounded radical on bass.

[@JonnyDibble]

Thanks Alex! I really like this pedal. Mad for the money! 😁

[@alexskibicki2262]

@@JonnyDibble Indeed it is. I'm thinking about getting one. that, the mooer ge200, or the hotone ampero.

[@mauriciogouveia6822]

@@alexskibicki2262 decided which one to buy? I'm interested in the hotone ampero and it would help me a lot if you chose it...

[@alexskibicki2262]

@@mauriciogouveia6822 I’ve since then purchased a mooer ge200 for my guitar. It has a lot of phenomenal tones. And it works well with bass too. Some of the amp models sounds killer on bass. Other than that, I’d go with the valeton gp-100 for bass.

[@ernestojr.angeles9707]

Finally one that accommodates the 6 string and bass in one box. 😊

[@greganderson7216]

I finally got brave enough to gig with this (twice now), it sounds almost as good as my analog pedalboard (I’ve been ampless for years). It’s not as easy to adjust on-the-fly and it doesn’t have a direct-out, but I follow it with an MXR M80, so I can make bass-centric EQ adjustments without getting into a menu. It’s the first digital multi-effects I’ve liked.

[@liamjenkins82]

Hey mate. I'm one of those guys who just plays around with the bass in the garage. Mostly heavy metal kind of stuff. Would you recommend this pedal for that sort of stuff. Direct out isnt something that's going to affect me. Although my amp head has that anyway. Cheers

[@greganderson7216]

@@liamjenkins82 I’ve never tried mine in front of an amp, so the amp/cab sims might “water-down” your amps natural tone (don’t know till you try it), but I think you’ll like it. The Boost pedal (it’s under the pre section) sounds great on bass! Did you say metal? The OD/Distortions sound really good for a digital pedal, and my bass likes that too. I do recommend it.

[@liamjenkins82]

@@greganderson7216 I did say metal. Thanks for replying. I'm torn between the valeton and the zoom b3n. They both seem very similar. Cheers

[@rohitzare]

Finally! A more comprehensive example of one of these with bass guitar!

Pleased to fill the gap! 😁

You just cemented the fact that I'm getting one of these. I've been considering it for a week or 3.

[@JonnyDibble]

Yessss! Such incredible value for money. Let me know how you get on! 😁

[@Metalbass1979]

@@JonnyDibble Definitely will do. By the way, what pickups do you have in that J bass? It has the perfect growl to it.

[@JonnyDibble]

@@Metalbass1979 Thanks! They're the stock pickups, quite non descript from memory. The link to the archived page on schecters website 8s in the bio on the bass review video 😊

How is it mate. I'm in the market for a reasonably priced multi pedal.

[@videocrasy9953]

Id love to hear more of that octaver function! More specifically the wet signals an octave up and down 😳

[@videocrasy9953]

I understand if you don't wanna make a whole video, maybe a SoundCloud audio file link? 🤔 Thanks for reading!

me too

[@levijessegonzalez3629]

can you use two pitch shifters at once? For example, one octave up. Then another pitch effect a 5th above that octave?

[@paulsummerside]

Nice exploration of the loaded FX. However, what was really hoping for was some exploring of the different amp models. That said, it looked good.

[@lorenzocorrea9974]

got a little question sorry if it's silly but, is there a bass only version of this pedal and same for guitar or is it just one that works with both of them equaly? thanks!

[@batphink2655]

Just ordered mine yesterday now I wish I got the purpple or blue one, just being fussy. Great playing mate! How well doe it record? Thanks for any info!

[@JonnyDibble]

I wish I had those coloured ones too! Thanks very much 😊 From memory, records well! No issues there

Great review, and nice kittie!

[@JonnyDibble]

Thanks and thanks! 😄

[@ampthebassplayer]

My hang up with gigging with these types of things is that I don't like fussing with knobs when I'm on stage. Multi-effects are great for getting lots of sounds for cheap, but it looks like you'd be bending over it all the time. I'd definitely like to give one of these a try at some point though.

[@JonnyDibble]

Yeah! On stage you just want it to be as simple as possible on the fly!

[@greganderson7216]

I’ve never gigged with digital multi effects, but with several analog pedals on my board, I find the knob settings are never exactly right either. I’m hoping that once I’m happy with my patches, I can finally let it go.

[@JonnyDibble]

@@greganderson7216 I tend to always change my settings on the fly to suit the room, just got to find what works!

[@grahamcharlton9704]

Is there just one patch dedicated to bass? How many cabs and amps within that patch? Thanks

[@eduardoborgesfilho103]

Jonny, do you think I can sell all my analogic pedals and buy this GP 100?

[@basshoh]

Hey bro....So I'm an older bassist and this new IR stuff is new to me!!!...So can you load and run the same IRs that you can run on an HX stomp???...as in are the IRs universal????.....SERIOUSLY thinking about taking the plunge with this unit!!!!...I am running a Tech 21 DUG preamp right now....do you see me being able to run both ...as in the Tech 21 for my normal running signal ...then bypassing it to use this pedal?????......HUGE TANX Johnny for demoing this unit!!!!

[@JonnyDibble]

Hey man! I assume so with the IRs! Yeah you can absolutely use this with any other pedals! I have a sansamp on the board next to my HX Stomp 😊 Youre welcome!

[@basshoh]

Are you selling this pedal ????I know you sell some of the gear you review and am interested in this if you are going to sell!!!!!! Just let me know how much you would let it go for ...you know since you have the HX stomp and all.....hehehe!!!!

@@basshoh unfortunately this one won't be up for sale! Valeton sent me this one and I'll be doing more videos on it soon 😊

[@SeuRafinha]

Hey, nice review. Can you help me? I'm debating what to buy to study at home with headphones or monitors. 1) The normal Audio Interface with amp and FX simulations on PC or iPad (I found that the iPad option is complicated, with a lot of cables etc) 2) Multi effects pedal. That Valeton or a Boss GT 1b? 3) A mini amp head like the warwick gnome i. I plan to study with headphones easily and record my bass.

[@andrewbob82]

Go for Valeton gp-100, great tool for practice and more;)

[@JonnyDibble]

Yeah great tool for quickly accessing a large library of tones at home!

[@greganderson7216]

That’s why I abandoned digital pedals a decade ago, but, I think this thing sounds very good. The technology has improved. Analog effects may always sound better than digital, but I’m betting my adoring fans will never know the difference. FWIW, I play amp-less anyway, so I compromised my tone long ago anyway, lol.

[@cjbrewer3843]

"sounds processory" reminds of the type of people who claim vinyl is supreme and CD and MP3 sound artificial. At the end of the day, it BARELY matters unless you're an audiophile. To each their own obviously. Use what works for you.

[@wolfram4321]

Valeton can offer cheap instruments because they don’t spent money in research and development. They simply copy the ideas of Boss and Zoom and line 6. so if you buy Valeton and Harley Benton you kill companies that develop new products. And then one day nobody will bring new ideas and live becomes boring.
