In this video, I discuss and give examples how I have my Valeton GP-200 setup for the internal and extrenal switches. I also give an example of the changing patches and turning effects on and off to show the latency. Last but not least, I give some sound examples using the Valeton GP-200 and my PRS SE Custom 24.

Thanks for a very helpful run-through on the footswitches; I just got my GP200JR and wanted to set up FS3 to drop in a bit of delay, but the manual was less than useful. Looking forward to more GP200 content!

@@Tone-Quest got a question, since sometimes we jam without a bass player. so do you think it's possible to use the bass effect here to make my guitar sounds as bass? Im planning to put the bass effects into the loop before I get to the guitar effect

@Tone-Quest 3 ай бұрын

@@teng.youtube Yeah, I think that is totally achievable. Under the "PRE" you have effects such as OCTA (polyphonic octave effect), Pitch (Polyphonic pitch shifter/harmonizer) and P-Bend (Polyphonic pitch shifter/harmonizer), which would allow you to essentially disable the dry guitar signal and only allow a low pitch or octave through. Pair that with a bass Overdrive, a bass amp and a bass EQ and I think you could probably come up with a believable bass tone.

@@Tone-Quest Thanks for the replies! really appreciate them, by the way, got my gp200, just testing the looper, I noticed if I change patch, the effect in the looper will also change. is there a way that the looper will remain clean sound?

@teng.youtube 2 ай бұрын

@@Tone-Quest disregard my question with the looper, it seems I just need to change the "pre" to "post". im loving my gp 200!

By far the best, straight-to-the-point guide video I have ever seen on Valeton GP 200. Just one more, can you combine 2 delays simultaneously and control them with a single tap? Like the first delay is a quarter, and the other is dotted 8th. Thanks.

@Tone-Quest Ай бұрын

No, unfortunately you can’t add two delays natively, but you could if you added an external delay using the effects loop.

Thanks for the vid! Is there a way to assign a single external footswitch to the distortion/boost effect? Thanks!

@Tone-Quest 3 ай бұрын

Yes it is possible. The external footswitch can be assign to be CTRL 1, 2, 3 or 4. It is then possible to assign any effect type to be switched on and off with any of the CTRL switches.

Great video and very useful!! Is it possible to have all 8 footswitches as patches? I mean when you tap them to work as patches and when for example you hold one of them, it could be the tuner. Another couple of them, with hold, could be bank up and down. Could I do this? I just bought it and I try to figure out, what would be better for me. Thanks!

@Tone-Quest 5 ай бұрын

So you want the 8 foot switches to select 8 different patches? If so, then I would say this would probably not work since each bank contains 4 patches. So when you are in a bank of 4 patches it is easy to bounce between any of those four but I don’t think there is a way to select 4 different patches not in that bank.

@127bradfordroad 7 ай бұрын

This is really informative, but how did you change the colours of the footswitches? Is it possible to do it without the software?

@Tone-Quest 7 ай бұрын

The foot switched toggle from yellow to red when they change states. So I just ensure when I configured mine that off was yellow and red was on. I think is easier to configure via the software app but it is possible to configure via the unit and not use the software. It will depend on how you have the global foot switch configured and in regards to the foot switch state and color will be configured per patch under “Patch Settings”.

@Voxman5 6 ай бұрын

This is a very good, clear video, thanks. But unless I'm missing something (& I hope I am) I think there's a BIG problem. Whatever patch you're in although you can customise the 4 bottom switches in each patch to turn on/off different effects, you have to remember what you've set each of the 4 bottom switches to do. In a live gigging situation, where you're using multiple different patches, that's useless. Or have I got that wrong?

@Tone-Quest 6 ай бұрын

Thank you Sir and I would say you understand it correctly. So to help me in this regard, I only put “Pre” effect on the “A” foot switch, “Distortion” on the “B” foot switch, “Modulation” on the “C” foot switch and “Delay” on the “D” foot switch. Maybe not a perfect system but it helps me a little bit of a guide line to follow as I program each patch.

Can you assign 8 effect pedals plus 2 or 4 effect in a external fooswitch, similarly to a pod hd 500 manual/stomp mode? thanks

@Tone-Quest Ай бұрын

I'm not 100% sure I follow your question in its entirety, but I think at the heart of it you want to know if you can assign and use all the footswitches to enable/disable effects. You can assign the on-board eight footswitches to one or more effects. With the external footswitch, you can use an expression pedal, a single footswitch or a dual footswitch. So, regarding effects, the external footswitch can only be assigned to CTRL 1, 2, 3, or 4. So in essence, the max number of effect blocks you could control with an external dual footswitch is two (assuming you only assign one effect to one switch). The Valeton has 11 effect blocks, but four of them I don’t think you would want to enable/disable: Volume, Wah-Wah, amp and Cab. So that leaves 7 effect blocks that you would want to enable/disable on the demand: NR, PRE, DST, EQ, MOD, DLY & RVB. So hopefully the onboard eight footswitches will cover your needs. One function I wish the on-board or external footswitches could do is enable/disable the effect Loop, as I think that could be very handy. Nonetheless, I hope that helps answer your question, but if I’ve misunderstood the intent of your question, please feel free to verbose and I’ll be more than glad to answer with hopefully more accuracy.

Can you switch between stomp mode and patch mode by using a footswitch?

@Tone-Quest 2 ай бұрын

Good question, but as far as I can tell, there is no way to do that. Which is probably why I set mine up for User Mode and I use a hybrid of Patch Mode and Stomp Mode, plus I use an external switch with two buttons that allows me to Patch Up and Down.

does the external footswitch only work with Valeton switches? I tried to attach a single footswitch I have around, and it doesn't work...

@@Tone-Quest thanks... it was my fault... those footswitches I had were in the shelve for like 15 years, and the contacts just went bad ;) A little spray and rubbing made it work as expected
