Incredible Mini Multi-FX, Amp Modeller & IR Loader Pedal! | Valeton NAMM 2025

[@Bato1109]

Sounds better than the Dumbles!

[@achill3usoverclocking874]

that top gun ruff at 5:03 put a smile on my face, good one Pete :D

[@pramkriuk]

This is exactly what people expect. Chinese brands making NAM loader pedals. With a very budget-friendly price, of course.

[@judosailor610]

Wow. The captain's playing has gotten really good!

[@williamtinawinslow7934]

I completely agree with your observations on the skill of the captains musical journey. It has been a cool thing to witness.

[@timtaylor164]

Crazy! Great seeing you guys at NAMM, thanks for all you do

[@keithhynes7001]

Unreal! This is exactly what I've been waiting for. At least 3 please!

[@Cacophaton]

I was sold when you mentioned it's using NAM. I'm grabing one of these.

[@TavaresProject]

That is crazy good... Nam captures and effects... Come on. That's great!

[@kevinmcmahon8647]

I love it when the gain goes up, you can hear a little bit of chappers' timbre in the captains playing. I've loved watching this whole crew forever now, thanks for rolling camera, guys

[@somethingelsedoesmatter]

I still can't get over the fact that Valeton beat TC to the punch with a looper that does essentially wat the Ditto+ does, but in stereo (and more). I love the VLP-200, got two of them (one for my son) and retired my Ditto+. Now they're making a NAM loader? This company is stepping it up, and keeping our wallets happy.

[@jamescorbett3039]

I just picked up the sonicake pocket master, internal battery and 2 switches. £50, awesome

[@CL_Audio_Tuning]

FINALLY!!!!!!!! BEEN WAITING ALLL WEEKEND FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!!!

[@JeppPadilla]

So good! Especially with a price like that.

[@RyanWright]

5:13 Pete's face there tells you all you need to know... That is the face of "holy crap this sounds good"

[@GodMcQueen]

*Yeah, I may need this one!*

[@Professional.Bro.777]

Pete is my favourite hype man

[@I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

This is huge! There are some option out there for running NAM on your pedal board but this is massive boost for the world of NAM captures!

[@kekekek3834]

I'm afraid it doesn't run the vanilla NAM capture, but instead modified/fine tuned selection of their own NAM profiles.

[@ImpostorModanica]

@@kekekek3834 Disappointing. How do you know?

[@I.M.Guitar-Nerd]

@ Do you have a source for this info, I like to read what they have to say about these fine tuned profiles.

[@ThiagoRochaA1]

​@@kekekek3834this is probably the same as Sonicakes. The profiles are the same, but sound a bit different from the plugin.

[@atermori181]

I've been waiting for this

[@brucerawsthorne1338]

I’ve got the twin looper it’s brilliant

[@CL_Audio_Tuning]

Did you guys do a HOTONE video too by any chance!? They just released the TONE CATCH option for the Stomp II!!

[@cinnamonoa]

That little multi effects would be excellent for adding some versatility to a small pedal board

[@LandoC2723]

That opening rip!

[@Lunarte.]

Amazing!!! Please Valeton 🙏 IR for nylon acoustic players, also IR for reverbs would be nice!

[@BlackRose-vi2yg]

I will take a shot on the GP 5 for £80 here in the UK

[@brunoluznunes]

Yup, one for me please! Been looking for the most portable backup hehehe

[@stormyandcold]

Sounds good. Let's see if they can improve the latency over their previous multifx pedals

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

I would love to add this pedal to my spare pedal board just in case my main board goes out on me.

[@VanjaSpirin]

This is the first time that I hear captain to use some good metal sound. There is a hope for him. Nice pedal, tho. My beloved NAM captures will have a new home. Or not? This unit works on 41/16, not at 48/24 as usual NAM capures.

[@stonecoldval]

Just bought a Tonex One... the software totally turned me off.... returned it the next day. I may give this a go if it's stereo....

[@reanavision7896]

the new software just came out TODAY! bad timing

[@linzhenderson]

@@reanavision7896 Tonex editor isn’t quite out yet. Due in February apparently. Could be a huge improvement though!

[@reanavision7896]

@ thank you, you are correct! just announced today, will be out in some weeks.

[@ernestobenschop6087]

Yup, they listened , and new editor is comming out

[@jacoblim6621]

Can this do presets for acoustic guitar? And does it have an acoustic simulator for electric guitars?

[@davidw4664]

I forgot I had my video speed on x2, at the beginning and I was like wow the Captain can shred now. (still fine playing just not as fast as I heard at first lol)

[@david_farmer]

That's super cool! Looks like it's a NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) loader for it's "profiles". It seems like very existing piece of hardware could probably do a firmware update to support NAM? Even a Kemper(?) and why not?

[@iurigrang]

I doubt the Kemper has the grunt to run NAM. Just based on how old it is, since NAM isn't exactly heavy for modern standards

[@caglaroral]

If it (will) supports midi through usb-c that would be fantastic.

[@RabihSaadguitars]

A great time to be a guitar player

[@sadul]

Value. That thing sounds good. I rarely say that. I´m getting one!

[@terryhicks4038]

What about the Divitone guitar?

[@carlrichards5250]

Yeah, that’s what I want to know about too. Looks a really nice guitar!

[@Nate_has_Dogs]

Hell if it loads an IR and has reverb its worth the money for me. The rest is a bonus

[@JiosX]

Exactly why I couldn't take my mind off Amp Academy. I haven't bought it yet but built-in Reverb with spill-over and IR are all I need. Isn't that too much to ask nowadays?

[@ThiagoRochaA1]

It has an IR loader but the question is, can it be used with the profile feature? I think not, but anyway you can load a profile with the "cabinet" included.

[@iurigrang]

​@@ThiagoRochaA1 why do you think they can't be used together?

[@ThiagoRochaA1]

@ Because DSP limitations. Sonicake which is another brand of Valeton/Hotone group, released the NAM profile loader for Pocket Master and it can't use the IR with the profile at the same time. I believe both products uses the same DSP.

[@georgemavimbela]

Is that the Tank G in blue

[@brooklynboy1000]

When is that metal album coming out Capt Lee ? I’m buying two of those bad boy valetons

[@peteralbertthomas]

Awesome

[@rickyfernando475]

can use this for acoustic and bass?

[@Jpetersson]

Sounds great! Can you edit from your phone?

[@michaeldean7220]

Bluetooth connection to mobile phone would be great.

[@michielroom]

Same as sonicake pocket master?

[@ThiagoRochaA1]

Probably. Valeton/Sonicake/Hotone are the same company.

[@adamstein9333]

Is it better that the Coral amp? That thing sucked, this looks Perfect

[@truthfactreality6814]

Sounds better than the dumble amps

[@humbertobereta2376]

I thought TC electronics did it a long time ago with the IRLoader

[@TMFJ983]

For 100$ looks like an amazing product

[@clintwhite3021]

Anyone know what latency it has?

[@Volodymyr967]

Nobody is surprised by 16 bit!!!?????

[@Thrive-Off-Grid]

Sonicake Pocket Master is better. Although when you run a NAM capture the IR block is disabled. So either have to use an IR loader or use full rigs. The pro however is it is a full multiFX unit with dual foot switches and MVave Chocolate compatable. Just get two of them that way you have the IR loader on the second unit and add FX there on that unit.

[@Felipe_Silvva]

A qualidade de reprodução dos amplificadores desse gp5 será superior ao Pocket Master.

[@Thrive-Off-Grid]

@@Felipe_Silvva yeah if they get the sample rates matched for sure. The Pocket Master is plenty good enough though. Its still a game change especially if they get the Chocolate working with it. The success of both of these units will be reliant on them working with the Chocolate. 80 presets will be worthless with out any controls.

[@johngonzales8224]

I think Pete has an obsession with Star Trek Enterprise.

[@JKM395]

I guess you can’t beat it for the price. Something to be said for that.

[@KevenEknesMusic]

holy smokes... what is this world we live in!!!!

[@stefankostet8405]

Check if Yamaha releases new THR AMP

[@Riffraff12571]

😯 That's insane! Where was this stuff in the mid '70s when I started out and was trying to keep interested while using a HORRIBLE SS practice amp with a single 6" speaker sound better with a only Big Muff? 🤣 Kids have EVERYTHING today if you can get them off of video games long enough to care.

[@AiltoWolff]

incrivel! 😀

[@RyanWright]

crazy stuff for $79 (or whatever that will translate to in dollars)

[@ivorharden]

I said last year the Neural capture would become more affordable, but i thought within 5 years not 6 months 😂.

[@johnplaystheguitar123]

Sonicake (which I think same company as valeton and hotone) just did an update for their new pocket multi fx $60 and it can run NAM captures too.

[@SteveSterlacci]

Successful photobomb😂

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

Digital John needs to go with you guys next year!!!

[@raykay72]

What’s thankfully never captured about NAMM on these videos, is just how noisy it is there. Your best bet is to have noise cancelling headphones or you’ll have a headache in 30 mins that’ll last all day!

[@2manyguitars]

Captain plays like a pro.

[@DanAddison]

I’d prefer such ‘entire rig in a box’ pedals to put more emphasis on running on battery than on smallest possible footprint. The power requirement can have more impact on the portability and convenience than the physical size.

[@scottbecker3485]

Excellent point. The similar Sonicake Pocket Master has a rechargeable battery, sounds fantastic, and can now also play NAM stuff. Costs nothing, and will even soon be Midi-enabled.

[@DanAddison]

@@scottbecker3485 yeah that thing looks amazing

[@scottbecker3485]

@ It truly is. Just bought my 2nd one (€59 each at Amazon here in Germany). One is for electric and one for acoustic (as an IR loader with a couple effects). Should make an epic rig for quick-and-dirty gigs with my Everse 8 speaker.

[@mixa3]

USB 5V shoud sip power, just add a chinese powerbank and it's runs on battery.

[@TrashHeapCustodian]

there might be a spot in the gear space for a power pack that you could put on your board that's a bigass battery with power outputs, you could probably run a board for at least a week of gigs if you had something the size of a voodoo labs pedal power that was just battery with like 10 outputs or something

[@ernestobenschop6087]

IT TAKES NAM???!!!!!!!

[@kahlrhoam6769]

My cat’s next toy….😹

[@bradrehn1007]

So, a Pawcaster or a Les Pawlster player?

[@adamstein9333]

Need this, paired with Blackbox, screw TONEX

[@RusoDryLaw]

I only just got the Tonex... dammit.

[@iqbalirmawan9941]

😂

[@Headwyres]

I can load Aaron Rash's In Utero IR Pack with ease...

[@danielsanjaya9546]

Nice Guitar..

[@MS-Patriot2]

What is the latency? The sonicake Basic IR has a really noticeable 9mS. I couldn’t use it live. Sounded great but felt like playing into wet toilet paper.

[@apuadofrancisco]

TonexOne?

[@Felipe_Silvva]

Yes.

[@kel5944]

I’m pretty sure the other guy can’t actually hear his playing.

[@JochenReulbach]

why so small? even if you say that editing is already done when you get on stage ;-) the display should also be three times this size ;-) why so small? dont tell me its because of minimizing production costs??? ;-)

[@IvanDelado]

I guess if you are looking for that option, you should get the gp200, it seems like the main function of this will be the nam and IR loaders

[@vivekmehta5172]

This pedal could be the DeepSeek to Helix's ChatGPT

[@noahvale7555]

Where's your guitar rig?....Oh, it's here in my pocket......Why is every high gain preset in the world absolutely awash in reverb and delay?

Paid endorsement. Don't see you gooing yourselves over the Dimehead? Maybe cause they can't give Andertons money?

[@nunolance23]

Why would it matter in this case? NAM itself is open source anyway, whoever can put it in the best unit for the lowest price should get their fair market share

[@hanovergreen4091]

@@nunolance23 Was not directed at you unless you are Andertons. But since you felt the pressing, urgent need to interject yourself where you are neither wanted nor appreciated, they have a history of hiding their endorsements and affiliantions eg "Victory", whilst giving the appearance of impartiality. Now, you may back to whence you came. Best Regards and Best Wishes!

[@nunolance23]

@@hanovergreen4091 I know about Andertons history on that, and I couldn’t care less about Andertons itself and their endorsements - of course they will promote units that they sell, and every video is in some way a paid endorsement or simply for marketing purposes, don’t be fooled. What I actually care about is making good sounds accessible for the budget/beginner joe, and this Valeton mini pedal may actually have a potential for that. So thumbs up for Valeton, and Andertons will of course take their share on sales if it does well in the market
