[@MannyDemaga]

As an owner of the GP-200, this thing is amazing. I use it for everything: practicing, recording and even gigging and it has never failed me or given me any problems. This product is easy to recommend because of how good the value for the money it brings and any begginer that gets this, will be set for years to come because you really don’t need anything else (except for monitors obviously).

I have a Spark, which is phenomenal but since I bought it there seems to be something that moves up a level every few months!

[@TrateMusic]

I just got one, and your video was an excellent introduction! Thanks!

[@AllanGildea]

Love the opening jam! Great vid chaps!

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

The Captain digging digital pedalboards is hysterical. I went all digital in 2018, sold pretty much all my gear taking up floor space and landed on a Line 6 Helix. Put a lot of money in my Mustang GT500 downpayment bank account. In fact I like it so much I sold most of my guitars too. I put over $10,000 into my bank account by selling guitars and going fully digital. Anyway, I play to a couch in my studio so having a ton of gear just wasn't necessary. I can get very close to every sound I need with a Helix.

[@notarealperson87]

i like Digital John. we need the traditional jams with him and everyone else on the channel.

[@zjedinite]

BY FAR, ONE OF THR BEST REVIEW “ quick tutorial “ VIDS I’VE SEEN. I ORDER ONE ON LINE AS SOON AS VIDE WAS OVER. GREAT JOB GUYS!!! I’m an old caveman that just took out his Roland VS-840 to start recording my rocking kids. If I actually understand how to use it with this quick demo I’m sure that anyone with a 1/4 of a brain can figure it out too. I barely know how to download apps on my phone 🤣 Yes I’m a freaking caveman. My daughter is KILLING IT on the drums, so is there a way I can record her drums so she can play piano and saxophone to help her record her stuff. Son is the guitarist so this is mainly for him but I figured my princess can use it too. Quite frankly all I can do is stare at my VS-840, then stare at the Bible size instructional manual and get really down on myself bc I can’t remember how to use it. It’s been 25 to 30 years ago since I last used it 😞 Sorry for long message but if anyone knows something I can use to record her drums I would REALLY appreciate it. Obviously I would have to get mics needed for it. Thank you brothers & sisters 🤙🏽🖤🤙🏽

[@fraenkiboii]

Someone at some point in time applied a pixel filter to an Andertons video in final cut pro ... and boom, Digital John is born. He'll never get rid of that name. :)

[@RabihSaadguitars]

Soon all of those 3k high end effect processors will have a hard time justifying their prices...

[@sh4rkbyt3]

@Pero R Close but not quite there yet. I still see a lot of these type units missing important parts in their sound that just doesn't work as well between studio versus stage. In a live environment (shows) it becomes even more apparent.

[@tenebroruncr4374]

I still use my Boss GT1 and ME80 because they seem incredible pedalboards even after the years. It reminds me a lot because the GT1 style mechanism seems quite simple but improved in every way. The patches you bring if they are valid. Hopefully bring one from G. Moore. Good price too.

[@seegui1971]

I have a boss ME-80 and its super easy to use, cool effects and all but the distortion sucks ass. If you have any tips on how to make it sound better I would appreciate it

[@Ry_Valz]

​@@seegui1971just add a ProCo Rat and TS808 and you're goid to go 😂. The ME-80 distortion just cant go in full since the processing of the pedal is not high end compared to a GT-100 which sounds fuller IMO

[@ImNotOld_ImVintage]

It's not for me, but I'm thoroughly astounded by the amount of R&D that went into this for the price. The little touches like the taller switches in the back and USB C are leaving more expensive units feeling a little lacking. Well done 👏👏👏

[@CL_Audio_Tuning]

I've been messing with mine for a couple of weeks now, and yesterday we had another firmware/software update! Now we have some added delays and things AAAND! movable effects loop option! Yay! I hope Digital John does a follow up with this one!

[@1972Georges]

what is the use of USB C in this scenario? Thanks.

[@FrandoNYX]

@@1972Georges Audio Interface. You can record your guitar's sound to computer with DAW (recording software) trough that usb c.

[@batphink2655]

Lots of great sounds in these Valeton units the only thing you need to do is set the volume of each patch as they are all over the place that way. They are solid units though!

[@SeanDS89]

0:42 hearing this is my favorite part about John being on the videos lol... his badass playing is great to hear as well :)

[@leoself9858]

Looks great. Especially for bedroom use & people who can’t afford a complicated dream pedal board. Loved my Boss ME-80.

[@tenebroruncr4374]

The Boss ME80 is the easiest pedalboard to use and for me it is still the best even if it lacks amp and cab.

[@Vertigo504]

ME80 has amp sims. Cab sim is on automatically if listening through headphones/direct out (off through guitar out)

[@mtabet02]

This blows away the me80 for sure

[@thedeadxtras9927]

It may not be for everyone but I reckon for the low dollar it is compared to many other similar units of other brands it’s a decent well made piece of kit, plenty of good sounding FX, amps, cabs, IRs, looper, cheesy drums but there if you want it, you can’t really fault it for the price and easy to edit all parameters you want, good display and able to reorder FX in chain. I’ve used the GP100 and for its low price it sound pretty good if you’re willing to edit parameters to your desired tones you want and not expect presets to sound as you want straight away, you gotta be willing to work with any bit of gear to achieve your wanted tones. I get paid on Friday and I’m gonna order one. Thanks for your review gents.

[@PitchforkStudios]

Took you guys long enough.. This device seems really awesome!

Hello dear Captain, I've been plugging these amp sim pedals into my tube amp to try to make it sound like a Fendery type. I plug into my fx loop send/return to keep my preamp tubes and mix it with the digital sim. Could you do a comparison between multi-effects units like this? Thx!

[@ELEVATETHESKY]

What a great Multi FX Pedal and extensive review. You guys ever try the NUX MG 30? It's in a similar price range. I think it's actually cheaper but it sounds awesome. it does take some tweaking to get the best out of it though. It would be so cool if you guys tried it out and reviewed it.

[@jimmyz2098]

I think this unit is ultra cool. Sounds awesome, IMO, and would be loads of fun. I have a Boss GT-1 and I like it; But I've been looking at this one, and the Mooer equivalent. The 200 I think. It's absolutely amazing to me what you can get these days for $150 - $300 bucks. Just crazy, and these units are so fun to mess around with.

[@padawan9127]

Jimmy I was looking at these a while ago and if I recall, there is no assign function on this which is why I don't own it. Funny enough, I got a gt1 for €120 second hand here in Ireland and it's enough for now, might get an extra footswitch though

I can tell this is a killer effects unit might take a little ingenuity to figure out the parameters but it sounds like you might get stuck on a couple and just leave it there for who knows quite a while because of the sound it's putting out and you don't want to lose it when you start tripping it out yeah I can see this processor doing some interesting damage for sure

[@karlkitchen1382]

I picked up a GP200R about three months ago to replace a 15-year-old Digitech RP1000...ZERO regrets. Solid build, fantastic tone, easy to mod in the editing software, and takes up FAR less space on my pedalboard.

I have the smaller gp-100. The amps and dirt sound great. With the same IR, they sound just as good as my helix. The modulation, delay and reverbs don’t sound as good as helix but still absolutely serviceable.

[@aaronhiggs]

Totally agree. Totally gigable. Especially with custom IRs. Picked it up from Amazon US for 107 usd. For 107 usd it’s a steal.

[@blastofo]

I like it all, except the IR's I dont get. All the included cabs and mic options, I don't see much difference with downloading more IR's. And the idea of paying for them, paying for a setting, instead of actual content, seems like a jip off.

[@jfrankcarr]

I have the GP-100 as well that I got mainly to having something small to take along for business travel. I like it except that the grouping of some effects, notably compressors and wahs together, aren't great and the EQ section isn't that useful.

I've been playing through an Ampero for the last few years and absolutely love it. No effects loop, but I really don't need that, as the onboard sounds do pretty much everything I generally need to do. The midi implementation is a little weird, but it does work. And it all fits in my gig bag. I either plug directly into a PA or into an FRFR powered speaker. People are amazed at how good this sounds through a PA. I see that I can buy this Valeton unit for $314 in the USA. At that price, I think I'll pick this up as a 'backup device'.

*I've been through countless test videos and returned a $600 touch screen does it all disaster all the reviews worshiped from whatever other brand at the time. This is the best sounding unit I have heard and I'm not a fan of monstrous floor units. I own one, it's spectacular but a nightmare to program by hand vs USB, and I bought it at 50% off so I couldn't pass it up.* The "budget" level models with an expression pedal are more than enough considering how much gear most of us already own. I play 2-hand touch, instrumentals and am a shredder. *I also have a formal education in subatomic physics and engineering, aka electrical/electronics engineering lol.* My standards are far above elite and gear snob lol.

[@adamhaze8477]

Just got one off eBay, something that some might find handy to know. The aux-in presents as USB inputs 3 and 4 in your DAW (I use LoopyPro on ipad) so I can easily incorporate hardware synth very easily (I don’t think you can use Valeton effects on USB) but no biggy as ipad world is AUV3 rush 😀. Also you have USB 5 and 6 that provide loop back for more audio fiddling with sources on ipad. iPad plugged via usbc (yay) to Valeton and then in to the return of my Vox AV30 I have managed to get rid of a lot of kit and am very happy with result..

[@Drumming_Monkey]

A pretty cool package. I don't mind at all that there is no touchscreen on board. Somehow you have to achieve the low price and the operation looks very intuitive without it. Btw: As for the "I don't know which effect is on which switch" thing. I'm pretty sure you can name CTRL1 to 4 for each patch, so you see the names in the main patch screen. Can anyone clear this up who already has this unit? I'm currently using a Boss GT1 and although I'm happy with it, I can't shake the feeling that it sounds a bit muddy at times and lacks brilliance in the higher tones, if that makes sense. If anyone has been able to compare the two, I'd love to hear your thoughts on possibly switching to this one. Cheers!

[@guyguy8809]

Currently own the gt1 myself and my ears have improved enough that even i feel like it can get muddy at times too, would love to know of any other multi fx procs you purchased since then that's been better!!! Higher price range than the GT would be cool too

[@Drumming_Monkey]

@@guyguy8809 I switched to the MG 30 by NUX. I absolutely love the unit and it's ridiculous what you get for your bucks. They also just released a new firmware that improves the unit again.

[@justbob9006]

@Andertons Music. Love your videos. I just bought the Valetone GP-200 and was wondering if you have any videos on how to set it up to record in your D.A.W.?

Chips are hard to come by the coming years or two... prices anything with a chip will go up. Good moment in time to buy this great sounding multi fx

[@Ben.Paints]

Would you recommend this over the MX-5? Money no object, is there that much of a material difference for a non-giggling/recording player between something like this/MX-5 against spending 3-4 times as much on an AX8/Helix/used Axe FXII?

[@MikesMusicAndComics]

I d really like to know whats going on with the treble bleed in case you roll back the volume- with this MED, using a Strat for single coil or a PRS for HBs. Most multieffect devices lose treble brilliance immediately when you roll back. That said the valeton ME sounds promising.

[@webrbio3153]

Basically a jam on Wicked Stone by Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators. Nice

Does the looper have a memory bank to save loops or upload them? Seeing as these are linked to the ampero that has no looper memory or upload feature well at least the ampero 2 stomp.

[@william7108]

I know it's only going to cost a couple of fish maybe medium big fish of course or something close to it but man I'd give that up in a heartbeat for sure

[@slipspectrum9253]

I just got one of these, given to me to review. I would put it up against the HeadRush MX5 that I own any day of the week. The HeadRush isn’t bad, but requires a lot of tweaking to get it to sound good. The presets it ships with are all pretty much deletable garbage. You can play the Valeton GP-200 straight out of the box and find usable presets straight away. For around $250, the Valeton just has so many positives. I thought I would like the touchscreen on the MX5, but it sucks having to dig around to find the most used settings, whereas on the GP-200, they are knobs right on the front! Actual, full sized Balanced XLR’s on board, A modern USB-C port rather than the silly USB-B connector from 20 years ago… And on and on. I had written the thing off without ever trying it because I thought it was too cheap to be worth my time, but holy-cow is this thing an amazing bargain! I think they set the price way too low for all that you get. I want to see these folks put out a high-end, top of the line model, because if this is any indication of what can be done in DSP these days, it would have to be freaking amazing!

[@ralphieralph9176]

the price seems really good for someone like me, im so novice to these, I own a Boss GT-8 but this is damn great!

[@joepalladino4323]

Does this unit have Snapshot capabilities similar to the Helix? In a live setting it is invaluable to create tonal variations across Snapshots, then press one button to change seemingly infinite parameters simultaneously rather than simply turning a particular pedal on/off.

[@punk6in6drublic6]

I was wondering the same!

[@neilskeet]

Hi Just wondered if the effects on this are in stereo ? Thanks

[@TheWilliamHoganExperience]

I love my GP-200 for the variety of sounds it offers and pro features like midi in and out. It's looper and drums are meh, but I'm spoiled by my Singular Sound Beat Buddy and Aeros looper, which I use to sync the GP-200s delay effects. Wish I could stack multiple delays and overdrives etc, but overall it's a winner. Still sufferes from what all digital approaches do - namely, so many options that you risk tweaking/geeking-out all day instead of practicing and playing. The modeling is really good to my ear, and has helped me refine and add variety to my sound that's simply not possible using a tradional amp, pedal and cab set-up. I busk, so it's compactness and portability and feature set are awesome. So is it's price.

[@dazscrivo]

Does the looper work ok? If you make a mistake you can delete that layer instead of full thing?

​@@dazscrivo All loopers are unforgiving of mistakes. Especially in timing. Even the areos, which can quantize minor glitches. The problem with them is that they don't care about your ego or feelings.They don't make mistakes either. They just play yours back to you and the audience until you stop them and start over. All loopers I've used, and I've used at least 10 over the years, allow you to build and delete layers / overdubs. The problem is that this function only goes one overdub deep before deleting the whole track. It's like only being able to go back one step. The problem isn't with getting overdubs right. The main problem is getting the intial loop tight. Overdubs are not as critical to stop and start perfectly. The aeros is multi-track and multi-part with a visual display for tracking, and midi clock and command integration to sync-up with the Beat Buddy. The Beat buddy in turn sounds AWESOME, and can be used as the master clock for both the aeros loop studio and my TC Triple delay. This means my delay effects are always in sync with whatever tempo is selected on the beat buddy / aeros. In short, it's far from simple, and it's taken me years to get reasonably comfortable performing with a looper. Building a looping rig is like building a custom instrument you operate with your feet. One that's computer synchronized and intehrated with your guitar and drum effect signals. I use a mini tascam recorder to mix everything, and it's all output in stereo to my Bose S-1 PA speakers. The rig cost me thousands of dollars to build, mainly because of years of failed experiemnets trying to get the exact sound and workflow I wanted. It's a huge undertaking - at least it was for me. My advice is to start with something simple and cheap, like the $50 "Lekato" looper on Amazon and see if you have what it takes (patience) to learn how to loop simple single part songs like "Knocking on Heaven's Door" that just repeat the same simple open chords throughout the song. Once you master that, get yourself a more expensive double or triple button unit that offeres a SINGLE button STOP so you don't have to double tap when trying to stop the thing perfectly on the beat. I was never able to master that skill, and I'm pretty good at that sort of thing. Drums are another layer to work in - some loopers have built in drum machines, but I didn't care for any of them personally for performing. OK for practice though. Beware: Every BOSS looper short of their massive 5 or whatever channel looper board require DOUBLE TAPPING to stop. This makes them USELESS as perfomance tools. At least for me. Again, looping is HARD. It's not like buying a cool distortion pedal or boutique amp and suddlenly you sound like the God Thor when you play a power chord. It's time consuming (years in my case) and frustrating, especially for the first month or two until you start getting the timing right. It will make you a MUCH better muscian if you stick with it, and get good at it. Much better I'm starting to do videos of my pedal board and how it works.

Despite there being about 20 years age difference between Captain Lee, Danish Pete and my own age compared to Digital John, farts are and will always be universally funny!! #MrBrown

That intro basically sold me on this thing

PODHD500X has an elevated rear row of switches for that 'no-accidental' purpose. That unit sounds great though.

This video and Paul Bond's 6 mo follow-up review made me pull the trigger. Have an old Digitech GNX3000 which has been great but so much to love about this modern modelling and multieffects pedal. At this price point it is simply too good for me to pass up.
