Hi Dave, you are welcome, and I'm super happy to be of some help!!! Thank you for letting me know!

PS: from my comment below: I see you did a comparison between the original Valeton GP-200 & the Nux Mg-30; thank you! I would tend to lean towards the MG-30, but I’m not a fan of built-in expression pedals. I do like the quick access buttons on the Valeton and Nux units, and wish the Ampero 2 and the HX Stomp had something similar. And I think it’s odd that Valeton did not include an on-off switch on the 200LT.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Robert, thank you for sharing your findings!!

[@blessedheavyelements8544]

Interesting. I have the HX Stomp, MG-30, Ampero and GP-100 and I prefer the GP-100 tones :). At least all four of these are all metal construction which is important when a drunk falls on your gear with a full pint. (Happened :). Humans and our differences and similarities :) Best Regards!

[@keithb5612]

Hi Leo... Thanks for the review. A comparison of the audio effect quality of the Ampero Stomp II and the HX Stomp would be nice with all effects compared rather than just amps/cabs alone. Can I ask... Is it possible to use eg x2 delays and x2 reverbs in the same 11 slot effect block? Does the unit have a reverse delay / glitch delay and a reverse reverb? For ambient patches. Do you have a link to all of the units effects/amps/cabs? I can't see this full list info on the Valeton GP 200LT Web page. Many thanks again.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

You are welcome and thank you for the comparison suggestion. 1) no, it is not possible to use more effects of the same type (I said it in the description of the pedal) 2) In the GP 200 user manual, I found a "rev echo" described in this way: "Producing a special delay effect with reversed feedback" 3) you can check out the user manual of the regular GP 200. So far and as far as I know, the amps/effects/cab are the same Thank you once more.

[@garryluana9540]

hi leo! what do you recommend, the ampero mini or Valeton gp200lt?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, Valeton is kind of a subsidiary of Ampero...the algorithms are basically the same...The Valeton is just a bit limited in terms of tone customisation...for instance you can not place the mic over the cab (as far as I remember) but the position is fixed, where (on the other hand) it offers more footswitches....therefore choose what is more useful for you. For instance: do you need the 4 foot switches ?

[@CL_Audio_Tuning]

Hello @Leo Gibson! There is one thing i noticed, i didnt see the new firmware's movable FX Loop icons in the FX chain and they were using 1.1.0 software like there is on the GP200, so im wondering if it doesnt have the movable FX Loop? Thank you for the great content!

[@CL_Audio_Tuning]

Hmm, im wondering, the website seems to say that the LT's firmware is starting at 1.0.4, i wonder if they need to bring in the features of the GP200 into it with an update, and thats why we dont see the movable FX Loop.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, in the user manual I found this sentence: "SEND/RETURN node is after AMP module, and is moved with AMP module". I hope this clarify Thank you!

[@CL_Audio_Tuning]

@@LeoGibsonGtr Have a look at the GP200's latest software/firmware/manual, we now have 2 arrows in the screen and on the software that allow you to move the FX Loop anywhere in the chain, this is on 1.2.1 firmware and 1.1.0 software for the GP200. I dont see those arrows in any of the reviews that Andertons or your self have done, which has me wondering if these brand new units were sent to you with slightly older firmware or, the GP200LT does not have this feature like the GP200. On a side note, i would love to see a comparison between the GP200 vs the NUX MG400. Thanks for the content Leo! You rock!

Leo the footswitch control doesn't work to trigger things like the snapshots on the gp200lt? And is it possible to add the same effect 2 times like 2 delays or 2 reverbs?

With the normal version you can send balanced out to a mixer and simultaniously unbalanced out to an amp or poweramp and speakers. That’s a big difference with the LT version.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Yes, that's correct

[@manuelcaravaca5773]

It's not the same, of course, but these Jack output are balanced here, and both can enable/disable cab emulation, which is good

[@Andreorsel]

@@manuelcaravaca5773 , right, you could go simultaneously to an amp and mixer in mono then. But certainly to the mixer stereo is prefarable.

[@wellbornd]

What functionality is lost by the omission of the 4 switches compared to the 200?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, no functionality lost, but with more foot switches you can have more presets directly at your disposal, which is a good thing in live situation (in my opinion). Thank you!
