I’m 70, too. I have an HX Stomp, Headrush FRFR speakers, etc., but nothing beats the feel of a low-wattage amp powering a 12” speaker in an open-back cab. I have a 5E3 Tweed Deluxe clone and a Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb, but these days I mostly rock a Line 6 Catalyst 60. Each of these weigh under 25lb, and both modeling amps offer attenuation and great-sounding DI outputs. The Catalyst is the weight and value champ, though. $100 USD used, and with a 2-button foot switch, the latest firmware and the phone app, I don’t have to drag a pedalboard or extra cables around.
I’ve had amps galore, boutique pedals, cheap pedals, you name it. In my sixties now and don’t want to be lugging a Marshall everywhere. I now use the Valeton GP200 in a rock band and club duo and it’s amazing. Spend time dialling in your tone or get some IR’s, or some paid patches, go straight to desk with a monitor feed, plug in and play! These things are now so close to analogue and saves my back and my ears! There will always be the puritans, each to their own.
I've had my JCM 900 since 1998. It's been modded, restored, re-modded correctly and tweaked here and there over the years, and it's sound is MY sound. Nothing on this plane of existence will EVER separate us.
The rabbit hole I fall into with multi-effects is I find is I'm much more likely to pile on a ton of different effects I wouldn't be using for a final sound if I just had a few pedals into an amp. As I'm cycling through a simple patch I say "I'll had some compression, sure, some chorus- just a smidge, etc..." vs. using a setup with a few pedals either off or on and into the amp.
@@aaronlarsen7447 Exactly. My Diamond compressor, Radial JDI and a couple of pedals from Empress and Barber have crazy staying power, and no traps like menu diving, or apps that drop their Bluetooth connections at embarrassing moments. My HX Stomp is still a useful tool when I need to create some random tone in an emergency, but I don’t like to rely on it for my core sound. I would put small digital boards like the Valeton, Tonex, etc. in the same general category as the Stomp.
I have a modest tube amp, pedalboad rig. It sounds good, but it is not as versatile, small, and convenient for live performance or recording as these modelers. I was going to buy this one, but I had trouble finding one. I just bought a Nux mg30. It just made my old gear kind of obsolete. I am nostalgic, but the size of a pedalboad can get ridiculous. Who can afford multiple vintage amps? Where am I going to put all that stuff? I dont want to carry them either. A person would need good security, and God forbid a fire or a flood. I can plug this box into anything and get a good sound for any style. It has the best tuner I've ever used. Use these modelers with a little multi track recorder or a digital audio workstation, and it will sound amazing.
What I really like with the GP 200 is its flexible footswitch settings. I use it like stomp mode so I always can turn on an effect though a single press on one or two switches. Always assign one of the switches to 'Bank' then you are able to navigate through the different patches. For the price it is a really good unit, you can get great sounds of it! I like it, the problem is if you want to upgrade then it will be a big jump in price to get anything better and then probably you will not have as flexibla footswitch settings as the Valeton... Nice video! 👍
@@fredriksandegren1948 Thanks for watching. I like the fact that all the buttons are customizable too. I haven’t yet taken full advantage of all its capabilities.
So what do you suggest I plug into at the gig? The PA? And how do I hear myself, those two little monitors on the floor in front of the singer, I don’t play in those bands anymore with side fields and huge PAs, I got 2 20 W amp behind me, it sounds like heaven, I don’t need a little box
We use in ear monitors. You can also plug your pedal into an FRFR speaker. I mean, you can use this type of pedal with an amp too. But yeah, the pedal is designed to run right into the PA. It's all personal preference.
I bought the GP 100 a few years ago, and I still use it. Great little unit! After watching your review, I might have to spring for this one now lol. Thanks for giving me GAS again.
Every time I buy the latest gen modeler/profiler/multi fx pedal the honeymoon is over within six months. I find myself going back to my amps and my pedals. I end up using the modeler/profiler/multi fx pedal as an interface for silent practice or recording since the sounds are there and it is more convenient that setting up a mic and trying to not get a knock on the door from the cops. More and more amps are now coming standard with an XLR DI out with either emulated cab or IR built in. This solves one of the hassles of playing live and entices guitar players to come back to the amp.
I'm about over this pedal already because it has every feature but the kitchen sink, yet I only need clean, distorted, reverb and some phase, chorus or tremolo. It's really wasted on me. I practiced Saturday with it, and although it sounds great, I ended up using only one preset, even though I had programmed a few for various songs. Live, only one of the distorted tones I had picked out cut through the stage volume. So I think I'm going to look into the Tone X One and a couple effects pedals. Keep things simple. I don't miss lugging an amp around though.
@@JayceAllanGuitar I hear you about lugging an amp around...I have a '74 Twin Reverb that stays in one spot. I like the idea of simplifying things but it just doesn't work for me playing live or at practice. I like the feeling of air moving through speakers and I like the limitations & character of a dedicated amp. There's always a disconnect if I just have a modeler into the PA. I think I found the best solution for me by way of Laney's new LF Super60 212. Solid state amp that sounds amazing. It has the XLR DI out with IR. It only weighs 31#. I'm a tube snob and this amp does it for me. I love it. I'm going to get a second one for an awesome stereo setup.
bought one and sold it for a podgo and was happy with that for a while then sold that and bought an FM3 and have not looked back at all. So happy with the FM3
Look …people talk great things about these … i have one for about 4 months now … a couple of gigs ( I was a professional but no more ) … some rehearsal … and then one day i came back to the studio with my personal old pedals and plugued into a vht valve amp … man … no comparison … the main fault is that at lower volume levels .. using the knob of the guitar .. it lacks dynamic dramatically ! Or at least I felt that way !
@@duncansbuddy I’m a tube amp technician on the side. I still love working on them and occasionally getting the opportunity to let one rip. My problem as a player, is that I never reached the point where I could afford a big enough collection of them to cover every type of gig, or roadies to carry them for me. That’s what I only keep a Tweed Deluxe around as a tonal reference, and mostly gig out with digital and solid-state gear these days.
After retiring it to a corner a few years ago I finally sold my Katana MK2. I'm getting everything I currently need out of the little Headrush MX5. I've worked my ass of getting the presets to sound right but it's paid off. It sounds better than any amp I've ever owned and the response is as amp like as I need it to be (and its in stereo.) The tech in all of these new modelers is simply amazing .. and getting more so.
Sounds great, I really debated getting the Headrush. A friend of mine has it and it sounds great, but I'm cheap, hahaha, so I went with the one that was a little less $$$!
Have had my 200 for 2 years. Mainly at church straight to mixer. Really like this. Sure some patches and sounds are cheesy but there are some good ones also. Have a few go to sounds plus plenty of options. I have been building an old school pedalboard but 2 good pedals can cost as much as this unit. It does load IRs but I have not done much. And yes, you can program the control switches to turn on/off various pedals, and make green on and red off. You can also change pedal order more than the PodGo.
I am in the minority here., growing up I always used guitar effects processors like the boss GT and ME and electro harmonix stuff... due to budget constraints it just made more sense to go that direction than buying all the individual pedals looped through a decent amp. thing is though now that I could afford some gear Im still drawn to the presence of physical amps (valve or solid state) especially those placed on top of a cabinet or stack., digital amp modeling is fine especially as its selling point is portability and convenience and all but there's just something about seeing a Marshall stack with you whatever style or gig you be in 😁
I Am a 100% with you ! It is a solution for portabillity ..but it dis not equals the feel of an amp near you … it is not even close to me ! It ia good stuff but is another game
@@charvlim5159 there is no wrong side. For me I bought a distortion pedal first down the road I bought a ts9 . I would learn another song and buddy suggested we trade pedals because he had what I needed. It’s fun swapping and trading pedals. you learn what pedal works best w your guitar. Because of trading, buying I made new friends and learned new songs , hacks. Just great times.
I'm 76. However, my doctor says I've got the body & health of a 50-something. She told me if my doorbell ever rings & there's a strange 55-year-old man at the door, don't open it - he wants his body back. I haven't played big gigs in a long time but I like my '64 Twin Reverb for venues bigger than a bar or coffeehouse - or for smaller rooms, my brand new Fender Champion 40 practice amp with a 12" speaker (about 19 pounds?). The Champion was a real surprise. It has 2 channels, a clean Twin Reverb simulator & a second channel with gain & voice options (3 Tweeds, 3 Blackfaces, 3 British & 3 Metal amps). It has a good variety of effects that can be applied to either channel. A 2-button foot switch allows me to switch channels or turn effects on & off. At home, I only add a looper & an overdrive. I'm planning to try the cheap Behrenger Compression pedal, which I've seen tune tested against a true Klon (I use a Wampler Tumnus Deluxe on my big pedalboard & appreciate the 3 EQs). The Behrenger is surprisingly similar to the increasingly rare & costly Klon for a built-in-China mass-produced clone pedal. Most of the Behrengers look like they can keep their heads above water with pedals 3 to 5 times their price. They virtually copy the circuitry and often the looks of the originals. The Champion can push enough air to fill a decent small venue and mics particularly well with a Sennheiser mic I've had for years. While I have always used a rather large pedalboard with the '64 Twin Reverb or '65 Showman top with a 2x12 cabinet, repleat with vintage pedals I've collected over a lifetime, I have a much smaller board of essentials for the Champion (I'm not as fond of being limited to the amp's effects & like a particular chain). For smaller gigs I can carry the amp easily in one hand (I'm used to carrying a 42lb box of cat litter in each hand still), the board & my FrankenCaster (a mid-90s Strat rebuilt from the ground up starting with a stripped alder body & neck that surpasses Custom Shop jobs with custom-wound PUs & Lindy Fralin-style rewiring, nitro coatings, & every other part either Custom Shop or 3rd Party - a project that took my luthier and me 3 months to complete) in the other hand & my ES-335 in a backpack gigbag with 2 folding mini stands & cables & such jammed in or strapped on (OK - if I have any distance to go or stairs, I admit I make 2 trips). For larger gigs, I happily take 2 trips, particularly because I like to bring a third guitar depending on the venue or the music we'll be playing & I've been using my 1964 Sunburst Stat & the Twin or Showman for so many years, I know exactly how to get the sounds I want from them. The real weight problem comes with getting our Hammond B3 up onto a stage if there isn't a ramp or backstage way to move the cart we pull it around in! That, with the twin Leslies is a BEAST, but I've never heard of ANY digital simulation of a B3 that can substitute! So far, the weight problem hasn't driven me to the Valeton or whatever comes next - technology moves so fast - but that day won't be all that far away, I'm thinking.
@@BlueSun4886 I’m jealous! I fell down a rickety fire escape leaving a gig in 1974, and I’ve had chronic back trouble ever since. I’m still gigging regularly at 70, but I sometimes struggle to load in an electric bass and a smallish class D combo without throwing my back out. Treasure it while you can…
Wow. I’m also 76 and use a Champion 40, but I replaced the speaker with a Celestion. I always do. I still do gigs. I still ride a motorbike. I’m only 76 so why not. 😊
Elephant in the room for me was when you 1st picked up the SG guitar and start PLAYING WITH NO MENTION OF THE TYPE OF PICKUPS OR WHICH ONE/S YOU WERE SET/ing TO.. The pedal features looks to have all the bells and whistles I would ever want. But the 1st and biggest factors for me would be the guitar and amp or other final piece of the chain, then off to the speakers,then depth of eq (types) possibilities .
@@potaylo okay. Fair enough. Truth be told I didn’t keep this pedal very long. I’m still searching for my ideal setup. I’ll keep this in mind for future reviews
Sounds amazing. For me, that tiny millisecond delay is a deal breaker. It messes with my feel and I just can’t get into it. They do sound amazing! Thx for the breakdown & demo!
I have the Valeton GP200 it kicks all others in its class and price range straight outta box useable and you can easily download patches and IRs to it.
After what appeared to be some nice reviews, I decided to purchase one of these for bedroom use. I, like MrRterra below, gave up on it in less than a month. Perhaps I didn't stick with it long enough but in the same price range, Boss and Line 6 effects pedals are much better in modeling/sound effects recreation. I wish I could say better because I really liked the pedals price and layout.. Thanks for sharing.
@@neqedzwan To be clear, I have two 4x12 cabs with two 1966 Mk2 Selmer T&B amps, one Binson echorec, one Mudhoney overdrive, and one 1968 Fender stratocaster. NOTHING compares with that. NOTHING!
@@BigTrouble324 you dont know what happen in your future.. if you have 3@4 gig in a week.. straight fo 2 months, at that time, you know that heavy things is hard to carry with you.. but if you happy to carry all that stuff for giging different places, in on you bro..
I played for years on a Boss GT6. Yes the old gold one. Boss makes the best effects for the masses I think. After my GT6 was retired I decided to give line 6 a try with the HD500. They make awesome time based effects but their drive effects don’t cut it for me. So then I decided to build a regular pedalboard. But I recently joined a band who have no amps on stage. The other guitarist uses a fractal FM9. I thought I would take the plunge and i absolutely love it. No more GAS for me. But there are so many companies in the modeling game now so you can definitely find great units on a budget. My GT6 was my go to for years but now I’m sold on modeling.
@@JayceAllanGuitarThere is zero reason for digital modelers that use software coding to be prohibitably expensive because all amplifiers have set codes to emulate them. It's not like a Boogie Mark IV model from Fractal is going to have more explicit lines of emulation code vs a Boogie Mark IV model from Line 6. It's a joke really that any guitarist thinks Fractal and Grid Kemper etc are for the elite and Line 6 or NUX or Boss COSM are shite coded for the masses. Because it's the very same amp.😅😂
I found I fiddled with multi effect units more than play. I liked the boss. Cuz you can twist knobs and good to go. Got away from all that … seemed that their would be an effect or two that I would use as a staple signature sound, but the multi effect unit was lacking… so I have my personalized pedal board… into a guitar amp
@@FreighedNought well done. My ears were shot by the 20 watt Marshall I had and 1x12 cabinet. Loudest amp I’ve ever heard. Now I know why Brian Johnson went deaf. Angus’ 100 watters!
Nice! I have a Nu-X MG30. Same idea. Got it from ZZounds. Lower tier brand but not Amazon however that unit looks excellent. I have a couple Nu-X pedals, a Marshall in a box and a Klon clone and they are excellent so I tried the MG30 and was not disappointed.
I had the Donner Arena 2000 for a while, and this pedal spanks that one as far as tone goes. I swear the Arena 2000 I owned did NOT have MIDI in, but I just looked at the Donner Arena on Amazon and it does have MIDI IN, but no MIDI Out, so I assume you can expand the Arena with a MIDI pedal, but the Valeton, you won't need an extra pedal.
It sounds complicated, I used to have a processor it was one of the boss processors and I finally got everything I wanted down and one day it took a fart and I was back to square one. I went back to simple pedals and a kick ass amp in my sound sound great. Processors are great but I rather just go old school sometimes they can become too complicated I hope you enjoy yours
Am I misunderstanding the technology? Preceded by your choice of effects pedals, Why not go from say a Guv’nr pedal or an orange terror stomp pedal directly into the mixer and out to the speakers? I’ve done this with my Mackie mixer out to my Mackie speakers and it sounds so much less digital than all of these emulators.
@ ya. Personally, I prefer having one really good authentic sound over a large selection of mediocre sounds. Don’t get me wrong there are some digital pedals that sound fantastic, but generally speaking, it’s not the all in one boxes like line 6 or what have you.
I agree. I used this pedal twice at band practice and that was enough. I found one sound I liked and that was that. It’s just a waste of capability for me. I don’t use that many different tones when I play.
I have one. Bought it from Amazon. It's very affordable. I recorded some great tones that I was able to dial in almost effortlessly. It's a very convenient tool in the studio. But for the stage? I used it once live straight to the board coming through the mains and monitors. One word: HELL TO THE NO!
I've heard the argument both ways. Some guys use the Axe Effects and Kemper when they have to fly to a gig. The one video I watched the guy said they would rent amps, but they had issues with the amps not being in good shape, so they just use the pedals and In Ear Monitors. I can't imagine a multi-effects pedal is any more or less reliable than an amp.
@ guess I’m getting old stuck in my way. I don’t like everything molded into one. It’s like having a tv and a dvd as a unit the dvd player goes out now I have to get a dvd player plug it into the tv/ dvd player. I don’t hate change. But in the middle of a gig and that board starts acting up now what? This is where I am getting old - If it broke don’t fix it
What if you are a bedroom player and you wanted to use a “ mod pedal” ? Would you get a pa system to plug into vs an amp? On another channel there was major praise for the Joyo American pedal. That seemed slot less advanced than this.
Why would I want a pedal to replace my 7 amplifiers that I can choose from when I like. Add the combination of my 20+ guitars and I have achieved all I wanted as a teenager 60 years ago. I love the way an amplifier and speaker work together to create the sound I want. I also love my petrol driven car and despise these new fangled electric things…. They remind me of milk floats from the 1950’s…😊
Sorry, but while there are a lot of tones packed into the Valeton, I don’t hear any that inspire me. And they all sound like recordings, rather than the rawness of even a small amp live in the room. I just grabbed another used Line 6 Catalyst 60 for $100. Loaded with the latest firmware, it’s lighter than a lot of people’s pedalboards, and lighter than the Valeton plus cables and a powered monitor speaker to boot. It feels like a real amp, and offers all the volume and tonal variety needed for most small club gigs.
I regard my two used Catalyst 60’s as excellent tools for the money, rather than great amps. On the rare occasions that you can still open up an old Super Reverb and really let it eat, it’s still very, very special. So is a Tweed Deluxe or a vintage AC10 (as long as your drummer isn’t a basher, and a tube doesn’t let go at an embarrassing moment). I wouldn’t put the smallest Catalyst in the same category as that class of tube amp, even if it’s way more practical for living room practice, jamming with friends, small clubs, etc.
In my 60’s and not computer savvy. Am totally lost with this stuff. Would love to just plug into one of these boxes at hone and get all the tones I want with one of these pedals but I have no idea how to use it. Do I plug a speaker cabinet into it to get my sound? Do I plug it into a computer? Do I need to go to a class to learn how to use modelers?! How do I learn this stuff? You lost me the moment you hit the power button on
I will confess this one does have a slight learning curve to it, okay, maybe more than slight. I guess it depends on how you play, you can plug it into a PA (it acts as a DI box), you can go into a powered amp, you can listen with a pair of headphones if you're just practicing on your own. There's a ton of ways to manage the output. The easiest way is to turn off the cabinet simulation and run it into whatever amp you normally use, set to clean. You can plug it into your computer if you want to use the app or record. I'm trying to decide if I'm keeping this pedal, if I do, I'll probably do some tutorials on how to use it.
Oh My God!! People still crying about carrying amps! Buy a small DI box for your pedalboard. It can run directly to a PA or mixer! People never mention this cause they're trying to push digital units!
I will never, ever stop using my tube amp!! It's like the Harley-Davidson saying.. "if I have to explain it to you, you wouldn't understand it anyway".... Toys don't make great guitar sounds, real amplifiers do!!!
It would be helpful if you listed the name of the product your demoing in the description at the very least. You didn't mention what you were reviewing for 2 minutes. Just a bit of constructive criticism.
Fail. I'm a stomp and go kinda guy. Like all other multi effect units there's just way too much work involved. I'll stick with my pedal board and Amp setup!
Use it for a few months , bet your view of it changes. I found no tones from any effect very useful . Loaded custom irs that sound good threw the headrush ....they Do not sound good threw this ,its just the truth ... When Ive had a Jcm 800 they sounded amazing , most any tube amps with good reps will sound much fuller then this
Thing is there has to be a reason why the pros who've been in the music business for decades aren't using amp modelers and all the bedroom players, amateurs and bar band giggers have latched on to the modeling trend. Ed VH never used an modeler until the day he died. Same with Jeff Beck. Satriani uses the plugins but ironically for emulating a ~ $500 Rockman solid-state amp from the 80s.😅Vai only uses the AXEFX for the delays and modulations still uses real tube amps. Eric Johnson says no way to the amp modelers. Same with George Lynch. Most of these guys wont touch a digital amp because they're seasoned pros. Its always been my conclusion that digital modelers' primary demographic are non-professionals and hobbyists and guitarists who just pretend to know about tone and how to get it manually but they generally don't that's why they go digital.😊
I don't know...this guy talks about how his professional touring band uses the Quad Cortex for fly dates. Seems like not just bedroom players are using digital amp technology.
I just went and saw yngwie. It was made clear to me why I like amps. None of this fake ,computer ,plastic crap can come anywhere near an amp onstage at volume. I see bands now with no amps. It sounds like a stero at home. Only not as loud. Live amps do not sound like a stereo. They sound like the glory of God. Its an entirely different thing.
I'm in a cover band. My buddy takes his modded Marshall with a 2x12 and a big pedal board. I've got the Valeton GP200. Several sound guys ask me "Who's playing the acoustic guitar when I don't see an acoustic guitar". Other musicians have given me loads of compliments on the tone I'm getting. Takes me 2 minutes to set up my in ears and pedal. Then I gotta help my other guitar player with his stuff. Been playing in bands for over 25 years. The difference between amps and modelers is getting closer and closer. Besides, people out in the crowd can't tell the difference. Bet you couldn't either in a blind test.
I have had Gp200 and the GP100 they were both crap , tore up within 4 months ...both models within a 4 month period . STOP claiming this is a good product cause your just getting paid for it. Valeton would not replace or repair either model ! Do not Believe this Bull crap . Spend the cash get a Marshall or a Egnater renegade TUBE amps . If you must get a all in one pedal type .....Then get a Kemper or headrush . These will tear up quick
Yeah just as I thought....loads of over processed tones that are really annoying and too many options that will make you into a programmer not a guitar hero. Stick to the bass dude and give up all that technology before your hair turns white 😂🇬🇧🎸🍷😜
I'll run right out and do that. Thanks, you've opened my eyes. Hear that everyone, if you are at that age where you're looking for lighter gear Steve suggests you just quit. Cause if you can't play with a proper Marshall stack then you're life is apparently over. And we all know that everything Steve says is the absolute last word on the subject.
I'm 60 years old and my job is moving air cargo containers that weigh from 3k lbs all the way up to 9k pounds. And I'm not muscular at all I'm just not lazy😂😅😂
I am 70 now, if I get too old to "Lug" a 20-watt head and a 1 x12 cabinet I will quit and take up Bingo.
I am 58... tried the Valeton. It's incredible, but I still prefer lugging my 50 lbs pedalboard over programming the mighty Valeton.
I am 53 and still lug my JCM 900 and my first 4x12 cab (that I've had since I was 17) everywhere. That sound IS me.
I played Bingo once, when I was around 8. It's overrated.
I’m 70, too. I have an HX Stomp, Headrush FRFR speakers, etc., but nothing beats the feel of a low-wattage amp powering a 12” speaker in an open-back cab. I have a 5E3 Tweed Deluxe clone and a Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb, but these days I mostly rock a Line 6 Catalyst 60. Each of these weigh under 25lb, and both modeling amps offer attenuation and great-sounding DI outputs. The Catalyst is the weight and value champ, though. $100 USD used, and with a 2-button foot switch, the latest firmware and the phone app, I don’t have to drag a pedalboard or extra cables around.

So what do you suggest I plug into at the gig? The PA? And how do I hear myself, those two little monitors on the floor in front of the singer, I don’t play in those bands anymore with side fields and huge PAs, I got 2 20 W amp behind me, it sounds like heaven, I don’t need a little box
We use in ear monitors. You can also plug your pedal into an FRFR speaker. I mean, you can use this type of pedal with an amp too. But yeah, the pedal is designed to run right into the PA. It's all personal preference.
I bought the GP 100 a few years ago, and I still use it. Great little unit! After watching your review, I might have to spring for this one now lol. Thanks for giving me GAS again.
@@rockerbuck967 no problem, happy to help! 🤓
Every time I buy the latest gen modeler/profiler/multi fx pedal the honeymoon is over within six months. I find myself going back to my amps and my pedals. I end up using the modeler/profiler/multi fx pedal as an interface for silent practice or recording since the sounds are there and it is more convenient that setting up a mic and trying to not get a knock on the door from the cops. More and more amps are now coming standard with an XLR DI out with either emulated cab or IR built in. This solves one of the hassles of playing live and entices guitar players to come back to the amp.
I'm about over this pedal already because it has every feature but the kitchen sink, yet I only need clean, distorted, reverb and some phase, chorus or tremolo. It's really wasted on me. I practiced Saturday with it, and although it sounds great, I ended up using only one preset, even though I had programmed a few for various songs. Live, only one of the distorted tones I had picked out cut through the stage volume. So I think I'm going to look into the Tone X One and a couple effects pedals. Keep things simple. I don't miss lugging an amp around though.
@@JayceAllanGuitar I hear you about lugging an amp around...I have a '74 Twin Reverb that stays in one spot. I like the idea of simplifying things but it just doesn't work for me playing live or at practice. I like the feeling of air moving through speakers and I like the limitations & character of a dedicated amp. There's always a disconnect if I just have a modeler into the PA. I think I found the best solution for me by way of Laney's new LF Super60 212. Solid state amp that sounds amazing. It has the XLR DI out with IR. It only weighs 31#. I'm a tube snob and this amp does it for me. I love it. I'm going to get a second one for an awesome stereo setup.
I have never played on a Laney, but have heard good things about them.
If it does IR loading its a complete competitive package. Nice work Jayce
It does. Thanks for tuning in.
bought one and sold it for a podgo and was happy with that for a while then sold that and bought an FM3 and have not looked back at all. So happy with the FM3
What's the FM3? I've seen the PodGo.
@@JayceAllanGuitarit’s made by Fractal. 3 button and no pedal for swell, It volume, etc.
Fractal stuff is well worth the money. Get a used FM3 for about $800. @JayceAllanGuitar
Look …people talk great things about these … i have one for about 4 months now … a couple of gigs ( I was a professional but no more ) … some rehearsal … and then one day i came back to the studio with my personal old pedals and plugued into a vht valve amp … man … no comparison … the main fault is that at lower volume levels .. using the knob of the guitar .. it lacks dynamic dramatically ! Or at least I felt that way !
I like you returned to valve amps.
@@duncansbuddy I’m a tube amp technician on the side. I still love working on them and occasionally getting the opportunity to let one rip. My problem as a player, is that I never reached the point where I could afford a big enough collection of them to cover every type of gig, or roadies to carry them for me. That’s what I only keep a Tweed Deluxe around as a tonal reference, and mostly gig out with digital and solid-state gear these days.
After retiring it to a corner a few years ago I finally sold my Katana MK2. I'm getting everything I currently need out of the little Headrush MX5. I've worked my ass of getting the presets to sound right but it's paid off. It sounds better than any amp I've ever owned and the response is as amp like as I need it to be (and its in stereo.) The tech in all of these new modelers is simply amazing .. and getting more so.
Sounds great, I really debated getting the Headrush. A friend of mine has it and it sounds great, but I'm cheap, hahaha, so I went with the one that was a little less $$$!
Have had my 200 for 2 years. Mainly at church straight to mixer. Really like this. Sure some patches and sounds are cheesy but there are some good ones also. Have a few go to sounds plus plenty of options. I have been building an old school pedalboard but 2 good pedals can cost as much as this unit. It does load IRs but I have not done much. And yes, you can program the control switches to turn on/off various pedals, and make green on and red off. You can also change pedal order more than the PodGo.
@@torchie777 it’s very versatile. And you’re right to get what this can do in actual pedal form would be expensive
I am in the minority here., growing up I always used guitar effects processors like the boss GT and ME and electro harmonix stuff... due to budget constraints it just made more sense to go that direction than buying all the individual pedals looped through a decent amp. thing is though now that I could afford some gear Im still drawn to the presence of physical amps (valve or solid state) especially those placed on top of a cabinet or stack., digital amp modeling is fine especially as its selling point is portability and convenience and all but there's just something about seeing a Marshall stack with you whatever style or gig you be in 😁
@@charvlim5159 I’ll admit I did like having that Marshall Origin 20H and Celestion cabinet…my back on the other hand did not! 😂
I Am a 100% with you ! It is a solution for portabillity ..but it dis not equals the feel of an amp near you … it is not even close to me ! It ia good stuff but is another game
@@charvlim5159 there is no wrong side. For me I bought a distortion pedal first down the road I bought a ts9 . I would learn another song and buddy suggested we trade pedals because he had what I needed. It’s fun swapping and trading pedals. you learn what pedal works best w your guitar. Because of trading, buying I made new friends and learned new songs , hacks. Just great times.
Multi effects are fun. I bought a nux mg30 on a whim. I like it very user friendly. But , I might get this one someday.
I'm 76. However, my doctor says I've got the body & health of a 50-something. She told me if my doorbell ever rings & there's a strange 55-year-old man at the door, don't open it - he wants his body back. I haven't played big gigs in a long time but I like my '64 Twin Reverb for venues bigger than a bar or coffeehouse - or for smaller rooms, my brand new Fender Champion 40 practice amp with a 12" speaker (about 19 pounds?). The Champion was a real surprise. It has 2 channels, a clean Twin Reverb simulator & a second channel with gain & voice options (3 Tweeds, 3 Blackfaces, 3 British & 3 Metal amps). It has a good variety of effects that can be applied to either channel. A 2-button foot switch allows me to switch channels or turn effects on & off. At home, I only add a looper & an overdrive. I'm planning to try the cheap Behrenger Compression pedal, which I've seen tune tested against a true Klon (I use a Wampler Tumnus Deluxe on my big pedalboard & appreciate the 3 EQs). The Behrenger is surprisingly similar to the increasingly rare & costly Klon for a built-in-China mass-produced clone pedal. Most of the Behrengers look like they can keep their heads above water with pedals 3 to 5 times their price. They virtually copy the circuitry and often the looks of the originals.
The Champion can push enough air to fill a decent small venue and mics particularly well with a Sennheiser mic I've had for years. While I have always used a rather large pedalboard with the '64 Twin Reverb or '65 Showman top with a 2x12 cabinet, repleat with vintage pedals I've collected over a lifetime, I have a much smaller board of essentials for the Champion (I'm not as fond of being limited to the amp's effects & like a particular chain). For smaller gigs I can carry the amp easily in one hand (I'm used to carrying a 42lb box of cat litter in each hand still), the board & my FrankenCaster (a mid-90s Strat rebuilt from the ground up starting with a stripped alder body & neck that surpasses Custom Shop jobs with custom-wound PUs & Lindy Fralin-style rewiring, nitro coatings, & every other part either Custom Shop or 3rd Party - a project that took my luthier and me 3 months to complete) in the other hand & my ES-335 in a backpack gigbag with 2 folding mini stands & cables & such jammed in or strapped on (OK - if I have any distance to go or stairs, I admit I make 2 trips). For larger gigs, I happily take 2 trips, particularly because I like to bring a third guitar depending on the venue or the music we'll be playing & I've been using my 1964 Sunburst Stat & the Twin or Showman for so many years, I know exactly how to get the sounds I want from them. The real weight problem comes with getting our Hammond B3 up onto a stage if there isn't a ramp or backstage way to move the cart we pull it around in! That, with the twin Leslies is a BEAST, but I've never heard of ANY digital simulation of a B3 that can substitute! So far, the weight problem hasn't driven me to the Valeton or whatever comes next - technology moves so fast - but that day won't be all that far away, I'm thinking.
@@BlueSun4886 I’m jealous! I fell down a rickety fire escape leaving a gig in 1974, and I’ve had chronic back trouble ever since. I’m still gigging regularly at 70, but I sometimes struggle to load in an electric bass and a smallish class D combo without throwing my back out. Treasure it while you can…
ok
Sheesh it took more time reading your post than editing a patch…
Wow. I’m also 76 and use a Champion 40, but I replaced the speaker with a Celestion. I always do.
I still do gigs. I still ride a motorbike. I’m only 76 so why not. 😊
Elephant in the room for me was when you 1st picked up the SG guitar and start PLAYING WITH NO MENTION OF THE TYPE OF PICKUPS OR WHICH ONE/S YOU WERE SET/ing TO..
The pedal features looks to have all the bells and whistles I would ever want. But the 1st and biggest factors for me would be the guitar and amp or other final piece of the chain, then off to the speakers,then depth of eq (types) possibilities .
@@potaylo okay. Fair enough. Truth be told I didn’t keep this pedal very long. I’m still searching for my ideal setup. I’ll keep this in mind for future reviews
I just put a Greenback in my Blues Junior IV. Holly $41t, it sounds amazing!!!!
Errrr... I don't think so. This will make me never ditch my amp, my friend.
I haven't either.
I love my gp 200 used it for bass to gig with for a year but it’s loaded with amps for guitar as well
Sounds amazing. For me, that tiny millisecond delay is a deal breaker. It messes with my feel and I just can’t get into it. They do sound amazing! Thx for the breakdown & demo!
No problem. Thanks for watching.
I have the Valeton GP200 it kicks all others in its class and price range straight outta box useable and you can easily download patches and IRs to it.
I agree, it's one of the best sounding pedals that I've owned.
After what appeared to be some nice reviews, I decided to purchase one of these for bedroom use. I, like MrRterra below, gave up on it in less than a month. Perhaps I didn't stick with it long enough but in the same price range, Boss and Line 6 effects pedals are much better in modeling/sound effects recreation. I wish I could say better because I really liked the pedals price and layout.. Thanks for sharing.
@@duncansbuddy thanks for the info. They are not for everyone. I’m still in the honeymoon stage with this pedal. We’ll see how it goes.
Ain't gonna happen! Nothing can replace my amp setup.

@@neqedzwan To be clear, I have two 4x12 cabs with two 1966 Mk2 Selmer T&B amps, one Binson echorec, one Mudhoney overdrive, and one 1968 Fender stratocaster. NOTHING compares with that. NOTHING!

@@neqedzwan You ever heard about roadies? When I'm not able to carry it anymore, I will hire somebody who can.
I played for years on a Boss GT6. Yes the old gold one. Boss makes the best effects for the masses I think. After my GT6 was retired I decided to give line 6 a try with the HD500. They make awesome time based effects but their drive effects don’t cut it for me. So then I decided to build a regular pedalboard. But I recently joined a band who have no amps on stage. The other guitarist uses a fractal FM9. I thought I would take the plunge and i absolutely love it. No more GAS for me. But there are so many companies in the modeling game now so you can definitely find great units on a budget. My GT6 was my go to for years but now I’m sold on modeling.
Fractal makes my wallet ache! LOL
@@JayceAllanGuitarThere is zero reason for digital modelers that use software coding to be prohibitably expensive because all amplifiers have set codes to emulate them. It's not like a Boogie Mark IV model from Fractal is going to have more explicit lines of emulation code vs a Boogie Mark IV model from Line 6. It's a joke really that any guitarist thinks Fractal and Grid Kemper etc are for the elite and Line 6 or NUX or Boss COSM are shite coded for the masses. Because it's the very same amp.😅😂
I found I fiddled with multi effect units more than play. I liked the boss. Cuz you can twist knobs and good to go. Got away from all that … seemed that their would be an effect or two that I would use as a staple signature sound, but the multi effect unit was lacking… so I have my personalized pedal board… into a guitar amp
nothing will make me ditch my amp been all the way to the bottom of this rabbits hole.
Im 62 and I play through a 100 watt Marshall,four or eight twelves depending and I'm not about to mouse out now. Maybe when I hit ninety,maybe not
@@FreighedNought well done. My ears were shot by the 20 watt Marshall I had and 1x12 cabinet. Loudest amp I’ve ever heard. Now I know why Brian Johnson went deaf. Angus’ 100 watters!

That's a good deal. I've seen them locally on MP for about $300.

Amps, Amos, it’s all the same. You know what I meant.
@@teriakamoto 🤣
Nice! I have a Nu-X MG30. Same idea. Got it from ZZounds. Lower tier brand but not Amazon however that unit looks excellent. I have a couple Nu-X pedals, a Marshall in a box and a Klon clone and they are excellent so I tried the MG30 and was not disappointed.

Compared to Boss GX-10?
I haven't played one.
How's this compair to the Donna one?
Much better than the Donner and Moore
I had the Donner Arena 2000 for a while, and this pedal spanks that one as far as tone goes. I swear the Arena 2000 I owned did NOT have MIDI in, but I just looked at the Donner Arena on Amazon and it does have MIDI IN, but no MIDI Out, so I assume you can expand the Arena with a MIDI pedal, but the Valeton, you won't need an extra pedal.
@@JayceAllanGuitar this is good to know. Does it have the option to take a bass into it also?
There are some Bass presets in the Valeton GP200, so yes it will handle bass.
@@JayceAllanGuitar thank you
Nice review 😊
I appreciate that.
It sounds complicated, I used to have a processor it was one of the boss processors and I finally got everything I wanted down and one day it took a fart and I was back to square one. I went back to simple pedals and a kick ass amp in my sound sound great. Processors are great but I rather just go old school sometimes they can become too complicated I hope you enjoy yours
@@7MileBand pedals and amps are definitely easier.
nice... I'm beginner guitarist like you..keep rocking
Thank you for watching.
Am I misunderstanding the technology? Preceded by your choice of effects pedals, Why not go from say a Guv’nr pedal or an orange terror stomp pedal directly into the mixer and out to the speakers? I’ve done this with my Mackie mixer out to my Mackie speakers and it sounds so much less digital than all of these emulators.
I did end up selling this. It sounds decent, just a lot of fiddling around to get the sounds you want.
@ ya. Personally, I prefer having one really good authentic sound over a large selection of mediocre sounds. Don’t get me wrong there are some digital pedals that sound fantastic, but generally speaking, it’s not the all in one boxes like line 6 or what have you.
I agree. I used this pedal twice at band practice and that was enough. I found one sound I liked and that was that. It’s just a waste of capability for me. I don’t use that many different tones when I play.
Nice video. Sounds good
@@charlespeeler2274 thank you!
I have one. Bought it from Amazon. It's very affordable. I recorded some great tones that I was able to dial in almost effortlessly. It's a very convenient tool in the studio. But for the stage? I used it once live straight to the board coming through the mains and monitors. One word: HELL TO THE NO!
I dumped my amps for the BOSS GT-1000... I ain't never going back. Now our bass player is using s small preamp. We go direct to the PA.
It sure makes setup easier.
Great post!
@@h.markhorton8188 thank you.
The problem with replacing my amp with this electric unit it won’t out last an amp. If one of my pedals fail all I replace is the pedal.
I've heard the argument both ways. Some guys use the Axe Effects and Kemper when they have to fly to a gig. The one video I watched the guy said they would rent amps, but they had issues with the amps not being in good shape, so they just use the pedals and In Ear Monitors. I can't imagine a multi-effects pedal is any more or less reliable than an amp.
@ guess I’m getting old stuck in my way. I don’t like everything molded into one. It’s like having a tv and a dvd as a unit the dvd player goes out now I have to get a dvd player plug it into the tv/ dvd player. I don’t hate change. But in the middle of a gig and that board starts acting up now what? This is where I am getting old - If it broke don’t fix it
I hear ya. I pretty new to gigging so I don’t have the years of experience. I haven’t played with gear long enough to have reliability issues.
The Tank-G is very similar to that unit. Not all the bells and whistles and no display but the Tank-G is only 79.00
@@welder062 who makes that?
@@welder062 found it on Amazon. Might have to do a review on it.
@@JayceAllanGuitar Tank G is a chinese OEM, it has a different "brand" name in each market.
What if you are a bedroom player and you wanted to use a “ mod pedal” ? Would you get a pa system to plug into vs an amp? On another channel there was major praise for the Joyo American pedal. That seemed slot less advanced than this.
If Tank G had more input and output options, that would be great.
Why would I want a pedal to replace my 7 amplifiers that I can choose from when I like.
Add the combination of my 20+ guitars and I have achieved all I wanted as a teenager 60 years ago.
I love the way an amplifier and speaker work together to create the sound I want.
I also love my petrol driven car and despise these new fangled electric things….
They remind me of milk floats from the 1950’s…😊
Unplugged here
It would be great if you could get great tone out of a small easy to carry pedal but it’s just a simulation
Sorry, but while there are a lot of tones packed into the Valeton, I don’t hear any that inspire me. And they all sound like recordings, rather than the rawness of even a small amp live in the room. I just grabbed another used Line 6 Catalyst 60 for $100. Loaded with the latest firmware, it’s lighter than a lot of people’s pedalboards, and lighter than the Valeton plus cables and a powered monitor speaker to boot. It feels like a real amp, and offers all the volume and tonal variety needed for most small club gigs.
@@steverolfeca The Line 6 Catalyst is a great amp.
I regard my two used Catalyst 60’s as excellent tools for the money, rather than great amps. On the rare occasions that you can still open up an old Super Reverb and really let it eat, it’s still very, very special. So is a Tweed Deluxe or a vintage AC10 (as long as your drummer isn’t a basher, and a tube doesn’t let go at an embarrassing moment). I wouldn’t put the smallest Catalyst in the same category as that class of tube amp, even if it’s way more practical for living room practice, jamming with friends, small clubs, etc.
I’ve been contemplating an AC30
In my 60’s and not computer savvy. Am totally lost with this stuff. Would love to just plug into one of these boxes at hone and get all the tones I want with one of these pedals but I have no idea how to use it. Do I plug a speaker cabinet into it to get my sound? Do I plug it into a computer? Do I need to go to a class to learn how to use modelers?! How do I learn this stuff? You lost me the moment you hit the power button on
I will confess this one does have a slight learning curve to it, okay, maybe more than slight. I guess it depends on how you play, you can plug it into a PA (it acts as a DI box), you can go into a powered amp, you can listen with a pair of headphones if you're just practicing on your own. There's a ton of ways to manage the output. The easiest way is to turn off the cabinet simulation and run it into whatever amp you normally use, set to clean. You can plug it into your computer if you want to use the app or record. I'm trying to decide if I'm keeping this pedal, if I do, I'll probably do some tutorials on how to use it.
Oh My God!! People still crying about carrying amps! Buy a small DI box for your pedalboard. It can run directly to a PA or mixer! People never mention this cause they're trying to push digital units!
I will never, ever stop using my tube amp!! It's like the Harley-Davidson saying.. "if I have to explain it to you, you wouldn't understand it anyway".... Toys don't make great guitar sounds, real amplifiers do!!!

When Ive had a Jcm 800 they sounded amazing , most any tube amps with good reps will sound much fuller then this
Already sold it.
Thing is there has to be a reason why the pros who've been in the music business for decades aren't using amp modelers and all the bedroom players, amateurs and bar band giggers have latched on to the modeling trend. Ed VH never used an modeler until the day he died. Same with Jeff Beck. Satriani uses the plugins but ironically for emulating a ~ $500 Rockman solid-state amp from the 80s.😅Vai only uses the AXEFX for the delays and modulations still uses real tube amps. Eric Johnson says no way to the amp modelers. Same with George Lynch. Most of these guys wont touch a digital amp because they're seasoned pros. Its always been my conclusion that digital modelers' primary demographic are non-professionals and hobbyists and guitarists who just pretend to know about tone and how to get it manually but they generally don't that's why they go digital.😊
I don't know...this guy talks about how his professional touring band uses the Quad Cortex for fly dates. Seems like not just bedroom players are using digital amp technology.

Several sound guys ask me "Who's playing the acoustic guitar when I don't see an acoustic guitar". Other musicians have given me loads of compliments on the tone I'm getting. Takes me 2 minutes to set up my in ears and pedal. Then I gotta help my other guitar player with his stuff. Been playing in bands for over 25 years. The difference between amps and modelers is getting closer and closer. Besides, people out in the crowd can't tell the difference. Bet you couldn't either in a blind test.
