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).
@@kroketix no worries! You can plug it into any speaker and you can also plug it into your pc/mac and use it as an audio interface to record in your DAW of choice.
@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.
@Pero R (( For "Bedroom players" )) which is 95% of who the Music Industry sells to... It's OK, That's how we ALL start. Playing in a BAND, @ Stage volume, Completely Different.
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 👏👏👏
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!
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 🤙🏽🖤🤙🏽
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.
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.
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.
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. :)
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.
Does it have the same crazy fx like whammy, harmonizer, acoustic sim and reverse reverb like the RP1000 does? I use that stuff all the time. Also, do you 4 cable it? Cheers!
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.
My partner Sarah saw me watching this and said “surely you aren’t going to buy more guitar stuff”, and I said “no, I’m only watching”, but I really want one of these now; I’ll probably get one now.
I just bought one of these and really like it. Very versatile - lots to like with this pedal. I like it in the video around 5:45, they are mucking around with the reverb and it sounds completely dry. Because they have the reverb off - they casually turn it on at 5:51... oops. LOL.
As always, my favourite shop makes a fun video with a fun product. I have a Pod Go but kind of feel I could leave one of these in my gig / teaching bag and would never be bored on a break between lessons. 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!
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!
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.
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
@@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

I'd love to hear your thoughts after testing it out for a while, since I might get one as well. I'm also wondering if you can overdub the looper? that would be cool :)
as a harmonica player im really looking foward to try this in a future i was going to get an audio interface for my harp blaster and ive wanted pedal and uve stumbuled around this and now that i see you guys use it i want it i could add external harmonicas pedal but i dont need too with this i could make my own pedals nice
Glad I saw this video, almost bought the new gx 10 boss, this is more bang for the buck. Sounds epic 😎. Ordered one off Amazon today. Nice job fellas 👏😊👍
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.
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
@@padawan9127 Hi, I'm also using the Boss GT-1 from the last 5 years, but currently I am facing some issues regarding the display, It's not working properly showing "System error" (2,1). Don't know why it's happening? Have you any Idea?
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!
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
@@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. It's worth taking a look. Just make sure you watch recent videos cause they really updated the thing over time. Maybe it's to your liking.
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!
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.
19:36 lol I love the enthusiasm for the USB C port... it's actually pretty cool that new electronics keep using USB C! It seemed like 5-10 years ago EVERY year there was some new standard for plugging stuff in
I believe the EU made them mandatory for all phones, so that’s why they’re popularity has picked up speed. But they’re also much faster in data transfer and thunderbolt 3 (which is way faster) compatible. It is really awesome to not need a plethora of adapters anymore.
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!
Too bad that you guys has left the EU otherwise I would bought serveras things from you... But here we are and unfortunately I buy it from somewhere else just to get rid of the taxes! Anyway I love your channel!!!
*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.
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
I think the Boss GT1000 Core is biggest bang for the buck in multi pedals... Picked mine up new on Amazon for $450... No beating that price for what's crammed into it...
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..
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
This type of device is right up my street... Unfortunately, it just didn't sound very good. Still, if someone was looking for an inexpensive backup, well, it's hard to imagine more features for less money, particularly when it comes to IO.
I don't have any interest in amp/cab simulation, but would love a board that gives me access to tons of effects like phaser, autowah, wah, volume, mu-tron, chorus, flanger, reverb, delay, etc. Does this board let you combine modulation effects? If not, any recommendations?
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.
I am very probably wrong, but I see this as an awesome "studio" machine. For some reason I can't see myself using this on a live stage, without having to always getting on my knees to change the settings after each song. Unless I have some kind of pedestal next to me and being able to make changes standing up. Again...I am probably wrong, but is the impressions it gives me!
I love my Valeton GP 200, I’ve found several IRs and presets labeled as PRST like this I can’t get no cl.prst you go to computer and you’ll see on right side two squares next to each other above the list one is import other is export the other three I think first is save . But just make sure when your download purchased presets go up to around 30-A and look for your empty presets called it’s gp 200 lots of empty spots I’ve downloaded approx 20 purchased and I still have lots of slots ….. IRs are a block dead center top says IR click it then look for your purchased or free IRs click one also be in the it’s gp 200 upper spaces and build you a patch with IR I’ve done about 10 of those too Soldano, Friedman, Engle, 800 JCM , VOX , AC SIMM , exc… then just assign you pedals 1234 to turn on / off OD, MOD, REV get great leads
Love your channel! The Gaptain, Danish Pete and Digital John! What a blast! Even have a guitar called Danish Pete... And that is a big thing when you are a swede! Just so you known, swedes and danish people aren't best of freinds...
Can you record multiple loops and stomp/select between them? In essence have a chorus, verse and bridge loop and navigate between them for live show? Also, can you send drums to one output (ie mixer, PA, different amp) and guitar to a different output (ie different amp, etc)?
Watched this video when it first came out. Randomly popped up again today. Caught the Rodney Marsh reference (7:42) which I'm guessing doesn't mean anything to anyone these days. Question is, how is this the only cricket reference that I've ever caught you with Captain Lee?
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.
When you plug a Multi effects unit into the amp, how do you stop the effects on the amp affecting the sound? I have a zoom g3xn and just want the effects from that but I think the effects from my Katana boss are affecting the sound. How do you make it so you can isolate the effects of Multi effects unit and still plug it into the amp for purely the sound?
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'.
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.
I like Digital John and these new pedals Hotone ampero, nux mg30, mx5, and this valetron. Very cool. Lots of fun for cheap!!! I think I'll buy them all eventually 😌
Comments please and appreciated!😁. Use 4 cable method and mic the amp (I have Marshall DSL40) or forget the amp and use 2 XLR outs to go directly to PA? NOTE; I have not purchased this unit yet!
When it comes to high gain, ultra high gain and other very and some would say over processed guitar sounds I think that there's mountains of hardware and software for that and many if not most will sound about the same IMHO. For that you can grab any number of peddles and so many will get a smashed high gain done. The big BIG features I look for and need are how does it sound clean (and I don't mean clean with a ton of added reverb and delay efx and such), like how does it faithfully reproduce a real amp's clean and allow the real sound of the guitar/amp match to shine (like Fender sparkle or Marshal depth etc)? You touched on that very briefly with a few licks played then right into obsessing about reverbs. You went to a very crunchy Marshall for a second or two. And just as important as clean is how will it faithfully reproduce the "brown" sound of a pushed small amp or the master volume saturation or whatever it's called that makes the slightly to very crunchy sound of tube amps, whether it's small Champ cranked to 10 or Marshall 1959 et al, for blues or just thicker rock sound in rhythm playing (think classic Stones or Faces) or beautiful leads a la Bad Company? With this processor can you pick an amp like the Fender you did, then tap into all its tone/volume/master/ settings etc AND get it to emulate a real amp being pushed to overdrive its speaker... or not? And finally, what if I'd want to also play my acoustic guitar or use the normally great sounding piezo pickup in my solid body? Is there anything on this peddle that won't muck up the beautiful sound of a clean acoustic through a nice shimmering amp?
If I spent as much time practicing as I do watching your videos, I would kick ass at guitar.
I'm thinking that too.
haha, same.
Amen Brother🤣
True true! 😂
Oh boy I feel that. In my stomach. Like a knifez

I have one of this and its impressive at the price point, lots of cool features. You can't go wrong with Digital John.
How far off is the tone from the big boys?
Looks great. Especially for bedroom use & people who can’t afford a complicated dream pedal board. Loved my Boss ME-80.
The Boss ME80 is the easiest pedalboard to use and for me it is still the best even if it lacks amp and cab.
ME80 has amp sims. Cab sim is on automatically if listening through headphones/direct out (off through guitar out)
This blows away the me80 for sure
That opening riff was stirring!
What song is it?

Does the helix actual switch sounds without any delay or squelch? Especially using high gain and heavily affected tones?
Put $10,000 in but lost $10,000 on selling used gear
I've had the GP100 for a couple years now and was looking to upgrade a bit. This seems like a natural way to go.
Just that you get full sizeMIDI IN and OUT at this price point is amazing.
Specially the midi-out, which means you can use it to control plug-ins in a DAW. You just need the right cable.

Hard to judge a reverb when Digital John keeps ending the phrases by canceling the trails with a mute.
The Boss ME-90 can be used with batteries which makes it more versatile for gigs with no power outlets.

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!
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
@@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. It's worth taking a look. Just make sure you watch recent videos cause they really updated the thing over time. Maybe it's to your liking.
Can you adjust the threshold on the gate
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!
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.
19:36 lol I love the enthusiasm for the USB C port... it's actually pretty cool that new electronics keep using USB C! It seemed like 5-10 years ago EVERY year there was some new standard for plugging stuff in
I believe the EU made them mandatory for all phones, so that’s why they’re popularity has picked up speed. But they’re also much faster in data transfer and thunderbolt 3 (which is way faster) compatible. It is really awesome to not need a plethora of adapters anymore.
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!
The digital John thing cracks me up every time 🤣
wauw, that guitar riff in the beginning, is a killer riff, the young man plays nice
What song is it?
Too bad that you guys has left the EU otherwise I would bought serveras things from you...
But here we are and unfortunately I buy it from somewhere else just to get rid of the taxes!
Anyway I love your channel!!!
Just bought this board! Cant wait to try it when it comes!!!!!
*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.
What does it play through? Can you hook it to an amp
what's the chances of a little tutorial on how to play riffs like that opening one?
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
John's playing is so precise. Very jealous.
That intro basically sold me on this thing
The valeton is made by Hotone, who also make the Ampero 2...which this looks like it shares a lot with.
That intro was Extreme-ly good! Thanks
What song is it?
I think the Boss GT1000 Core is biggest bang for the buck in multi pedals... Picked mine up new on Amazon for $450... No beating that price for what's crammed into it...
finally valeton reviews @andertons.. hahaha
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..
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
This type of device is right up my street... Unfortunately, it just didn't sound very good. Still, if someone was looking for an inexpensive backup, well, it's hard to imagine more features for less money, particularly when it comes to IO.
‘Thank You’ ,,, I appreciate the brilliance of these gentlemen ✨🎶🎭🌾🎈
The tones you can get off the pedal are so sick, ive been able to make everytone i want
I don't have any interest in amp/cab simulation, but would love a board that gives me access to tons of effects like phaser, autowah, wah, volume, mu-tron, chorus, flanger, reverb, delay, etc. Does this board let you combine modulation effects? If not, any recommendations?
Absolutely. You can easily turn off amps and cabs and run combinations of effects only.
@@MS-si5wm Thanks for your reply! Can you stack modulation effects like a chorus with a flanger, etc?
Took you guys long enough..
This device seems really awesome!
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.
I am very probably wrong, but I see this as an awesome "studio" machine. For some reason I can't see myself using this on a live stage, without having to always getting on my knees to change the settings after each song. Unless I have some kind of pedestal next to me and being able to make changes standing up. Again...I am probably wrong, but is the impressions it gives me!
Should the cab not be at the end of the effects chain?
i was about to buy a zoom g5n! but after 16:53, i am gonna wait two more months to buy Valeton GP200
I love my Valeton GP 200, I’ve found several IRs and presets labeled as PRST like this I can’t get no cl.prst you go to computer and you’ll see on right side two squares next to each other above the list one is import other is export the other three I think first is save . But just make sure when your download purchased presets go up to around 30-A and look for your empty presets called it’s gp 200 lots of empty spots I’ve downloaded approx 20 purchased and I still have lots of slots ….. IRs are a block dead center top says IR click it then look for your purchased or free IRs click one also be in the it’s gp 200 upper spaces and build you a patch with IR I’ve done about 10 of those too Soldano, Friedman, Engle, 800 JCM , VOX , AC SIMM , exc… then just assign you pedals 1234 to turn on / off OD, MOD, REV get great leads
I saw the bank switched but how u change patches in a live use that I saved?all videos I saw ppl using the rotary know to switch patches
Love your channel! The Gaptain, Danish Pete and Digital John! What a blast!
Even have a guitar called Danish Pete... And that is a big thing when you are a swede!
Just so you known, swedes and danish people aren't best of freinds...
Life’s too short pal. Just make music.
Love the riff at the start of video
Can you record multiple loops and stomp/select between them? In essence have a chorus, verse and bridge loop and navigate between them for live show? Also, can you send drums to one output (ie mixer, PA, different amp) and guitar to a different output (ie different amp, etc)?
I apologise if I'm being rude, but what is that black thing around John's head? I can't tell if it's a bandana, a headband or some kind of apparatus
It’s the base of his toupee showing through
Also can stack effects to do things you would need multiple pedals to do, eg two reverbs on two different delays, maybe in two different channels
Does this model have micro simulation?
*DIGITAL JOHN* *insert meme*
Always my favorite part of these digital videos. 😂
Watched this video when it first came out. Randomly popped up again today. Caught the Rodney Marsh reference (7:42) which I'm guessing doesn't mean anything to anyone these days. Question is, how is this the only cricket reference that I've ever caught you with Captain Lee?
Totally amazing machine for this price!
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.
I was wondering the same!
Lee is F'ing hilarious. Very fun to watch on these videos. Should do stand up as a side job
This also has some bass effects/amps built in, if you want to scratch a bassy (bassie??) itch
When you plug a Multi effects unit into the amp, how do you stop the effects on the amp affecting the sound? I have a zoom g3xn and just want the effects from that but I think the effects from my Katana boss are affecting the sound. How do you make it so you can isolate the effects of Multi effects unit and still plug it into the amp for purely the sound?
Can anyone answer him please 🙏 i need to know too🤧🤣
effects loop if you have Katana MKII 100, I think the 50w doesn't have an effects loop but dont remember for sure.
This vs the Ampero 2? 🤔
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'm impressed by "Digital" John. Hope to see him on more vids :)
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!
Reminds me of my old Zoom multi effects I had when I was starting out. Cheap and sounds great for the price point!
505?
I remember those old zoom 505 multi effects, I couldn’t stand the sound of those
Did you ever release those patches Digital John built? the "Marsh" one sounds perfect for something I have in mind
Digi-John can shred yo
I want this multi-fx, thanks for the review.
Sounds pretty good. I feel like the gain patches have too much gain on them. I haven’t heard too many great low gain settings.
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.
Any era is a good era for blues!
I wish you guys would demo the expression pedal part of these units they are not all created equal.
PODHD500X has an elevated rear row of switches for that 'no-accidental' purpose. That unit sounds great though.
I like Digital John and these new pedals Hotone ampero, nux mg30, mx5, and this valetron. Very cool. Lots of fun for cheap!!! I think I'll buy them all eventually 😌
Comments please and appreciated!😁. Use 4 cable method and mic the amp (I have Marshall DSL40) or forget the amp and use 2 XLR outs to go directly to PA? NOTE; I have not purchased this unit yet!
When it comes to high gain, ultra high gain and other very and some would say over processed guitar sounds I think that there's mountains of hardware and software for that and many if not most will sound about the same IMHO. For that you can grab any number of peddles and so many will get a smashed high gain done. The big BIG features I look for and need are how does it sound clean (and I don't mean clean with a ton of added reverb and delay efx and such), like how does it faithfully reproduce a real amp's clean and allow the real sound of the guitar/amp match to shine (like Fender sparkle or Marshal depth etc)? You touched on that very briefly with a few licks played then right into obsessing about reverbs. You went to a very crunchy Marshall for a second or two. And just as important as clean is how will it faithfully reproduce the "brown" sound of a pushed small amp or the master volume saturation or whatever it's called that makes the slightly to very crunchy sound of tube amps, whether it's small Champ cranked to 10 or Marshall 1959 et al, for blues or just thicker rock sound in rhythm playing (think classic Stones or Faces) or beautiful leads a la Bad Company? With this processor can you pick an amp like the Fender you did, then tap into all its tone/volume/master/ settings etc AND get it to emulate a real amp being pushed to overdrive its speaker... or not? And finally, what if I'd want to also play my acoustic guitar or use the normally great sounding piezo pickup in my solid body? Is there anything on this peddle that won't muck up the beautiful sound of a clean acoustic through a nice shimmering amp?
