This is quickly becoming my favorite review channel. I love how you spend time on more objective things like features, ease-of-use and price, rather than subjective opinions of whether you like the reverb or not. Your approach is far more useful. Great work and thanks \m/
Thank you so much, I'm super happy that you like my compositions and playing...well, actually I'm not doing anything special, but the channel force me to compose and compose (that is by the way what I like the most) and therefore practicing I think I can improve. Thank you once more!
I just bought the Valeton GP 200 as an inexpensive way to have a complete setup for a "in-ear only" stage at a church with the stereo out going into the house system. Your video was very professionally done, and it gives me hope that this little unit will do the job for me! Thanks for the review!
It was not as nice as the $2000 pedal another guy in church had, but all-in-all, I was very pleased with it. I'd say it was 90% as good as his sounds, and smaller and easy to set. I did have an issue with the factory power supply. My GP 200 started turning itself off during use, then turning itself back on. I decided to get a more powerful supply and that cured the problem. I think they undersized the power supply. I found an inexpensive one on Amazon that had double the amp output (same voltage of course) and I've never had the problem again. I used it two ways... (1) I sent a stereo signal to the board, and used their monitor send. (2) I used one side of the GP-200 output to send to the board, and the other side to send to my in-ears. I did the one ear in and one ear open thing and just had a good strong signal of my guitar in the in-ear side. Probably not the best way to do it, but it worked for me pretty well. Good luck!
Great review Leo. I own this unit for a year now, but was only using it occasionally. things have changed a month ago when i first connected it to my mac and I unlocked it full potential. Your review was on spot - the right length with all the important, and objective, info that one would need. My only issues with this rig is the looper, which is rather basic and absolutely terrible drum kit. But not a big issue as i have standalone looper pedal and not so much into automated drum kit anyways. Otherwise, it is probably the best value for money one can get in the price range of 300-700 eur. Thanks again for you review, and i am off to explore more of your vids. keep it up❤
Hi Michael, thank you so much for sharing your findings and for your feedbacks!!!! I'm happy to have been of some help with your purchase decision!!! Thank you!!!
Nice job on the GP200 review. You're getting competitive sounds out of it already. I do agree that multiple USB ports would be better. I think Valeton will factor in your advice for their next one. I'm trying to learn all its tools and tricks but most importantly it has to have the ability sound great. So far, so good.
Leo, thanks for so many wonderful reviews. After watching many of them, I bought the GP-200. Congrats and keep up the great work!!! Cheers from Brazil!
Ciao Leo, grazie per le tue recensioni, direi le migliori che si possono trovare su YT. Ho da poco acquistato la MG-30 e i tuoi video su questo modeler mi hanno aiutato tantissimo per scegliere tra la NUX e altre multieffetti simili. Complimenti anche per le tue composizioni, originali e ben suonate! 👍💪
sono entrambi buoni prodotti, ognuna delle due ha delle cose che l'altra non ha e viceversa...ad esempio la valeton ha gli 8 foot-switches, mentre la MG 30 ha la possibilità di avere effetti in parallelo. comunque scegli...cadi bene. Un saluto.
Great that you included bass in the video as many bass players are in the multi effects market too. Looking forward to more bass tests on these products as most bass guitarist play both. :)
Hi, thank you!! My only concern in making bass related video is that I'm not a bass player and I even don't have a real bass amp...so I'm a bit sceptical in doing such videos... Thank you!
Amazing playing and composition. Great sound. I have used the Helix floorboard for some years and Hotone Ampero for 2 days, but still looking for a well sounding board
@@LeoGibsonGtr As mentioned I had the Ampero but was not happy about it. Low output and a lot of digital distortion. Hotone makes the Valeton products too so i am concerned about those problems on the GO-200 too. Did you experience and problems with distortion by raising levels or low outputs on the GP-200 ?
Wow, grande Leo, mi è piaciuta moltissimo la tua composizione/esecuzione , complimenti! Anche i suoni di questa nuova pedaliera sembrano di alta qualità..quasi quasi me la prendo..
i've gone back to real amp and maybe a torpedo x for quiet gigs. but, this fits perfectly for a practice tool, and even more compact live tool too. had a headrush, couldn't trust it and couldn't afford it plus a real amp and pedal board. this unit looks and sounds great. i believe the right fit for me. your playing is also exceptional. great video.
Your videos and compositions are wonderful! I don't think the GP200 amps are the same as the Ampero MP100 amps. In the video where you compare Ampero MP100 vs Real amp, the Ampero is EXACTLY the same as the real amp, here it isn't. A comparison between Ampero MP100 and Valeton GP200 would be interesting. Thank you so much for the amazing video!
Another thing Leo, I saw you use "jump connection" on your Plexi. And in Valetone's description the "jump" is used in the simulation that Valetone describes as "UK50JP", it is a Plexi too. Your amp would be that then 8:19 no?
Amazing playing and beautiful song. You should do an "album" with all your demo-songs. These are way too good to be just "demo"! Oh, and the Valeton sounds really good.
Yes, please, what and watch it again and again...😀👍... it's gonna help the YT algorithm to propose the video!! Thank you so much....when you like my music and compositions, I'm really super happy!!!
Thank you Paul, really super appreciated! Well, I would have to do a video comparison to properly answer...now I'm working on a comparison with the POD GO.... Thank you!
Both great and it depends on your Guitar and Ear. I had the MG30 for 6months now and Superhappy with it - playing the GP200 for 2 days and the Amps sound much more transparent more headroom not that compressed or scooped in some Frequencies - its just my subjevtive oppinion. Effects like Reverb or Chorus much better in the MG30, Amps and Feeling better on the GP200.
Hi Leo, great comparison! I have one question. If I connect my tonex pedal in effects loop of Valeton GP 200 where it will be placed in signal chain? Does it has send/return block which i could move left or right in signal chain?
Your videos are simply amazing, with all the detail and structure you put in them. I'm addicted! Just one thing that puzzled me a bit: why did you compare the Valeton GP200 to the Mooer GE300 and not the GE250 (is more alike, both in specs and in price, except for the number of swithces)? I am looking for a pedalboard under 400€ and GP200 and GE250 are my main options, but I am struggling to find a comparison between the two. Thank you and keep delighting us with your fantastic videos.
Hi Pedro, first of all thank you so much, I'm really super happy that you like the videos! Yes, it's because of the 8 foot switches. I mean, there are not so much pedalboards with 8 foot switches, and this features is very useful for live situations, therefore in my opinion the GP 200 is a direct contender of the GE 300. By the way, I'm finishing a direct comparison GP 200 vs GP 200 LT vs Mooer GE 300 vs GE 300 LT... Thank you for your message!
Such a high quality video and editing. I wonder if latency is improved vs GP100, which scored in the middle on your latency testing video. Also I'm curious about Ampero II Stomp latency. The box opening sounds at the end make me want to buy it so I can open it.
Your videos are definitely the best on RU-vid for us Valeton GP-200 owners. One question - if I use an effects patch, then utilise the looper with that patch is there any way of saving the patch to an empty memory bank AND take the loop I created with it? I'm hoping to "save" my loops so that when I'm gigging I can kick in the effect and the loop. If so, can I save loops to every patch I create? ....... unfortunately I'm expecting the answer to be "no you can't save loops to a patch"! Thanks again for your videos.
Hi, thank you so much, I'm really super happy that you like the videos!! I think that this is not possibile...I'm not 100% sure, but I would be really surprised if the unit stores a loop for each memory block... Thank you!!!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Hi Leo, you're so welcome. Someone figured out how to get rid of the fixed blocks and replace them with more blocks than the 4, so it's more like a larger pedalboard. Message me if you want some of the configurations.
Hi Leo, Hope youre having a great day. Do you prefer valeton gp200 or or zoom g6 or headrush mx5? Which one sounds better in your opinion? I really dont know which one i should choose between these three and im going crazy tbh =D Also Thnx for your great videos u are amazing!!
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you appreciate the video! I typically try not to give black or white answer, but I can say that I'm not a big fan of Headrush (for instance poor cab sim and NO computer app) and Zoom...therefore PERSONALLY I would go with the GP 200....but this is just a personal opinion. Thanks!
Great review Leo, as aslways. Looking forward your comparison of GP 200 and Pod Go, as the formfactor is identical. By the way, do you still have your FM3 and Quad Cortex? I haven't noticed them in thebackground or on your desk.
Hi, thank you so much, really appreciated! Yes, the comparison with the POD GO will come...😀. Yes, I have both the FM3 and the QC...but in the last months (luckily) I've been sent with some units to review and so I'm making less videos with them... Thank you once more!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Fantastic demo song as usual. This looks like a killer processor. I will be interested in your opinion on how it compares with the POD Go. I'm still loving using my POD Go, but this price point of the Valeton is hard to argue with all you get for $350 (and it sounds great too!) God bless and rock on 🎸😎👍
I bought a Valeton gp200 based on your video. As ex Pod X3 live and Boss Me80 user, I'm very satisfied for the sound and build quality. But the tuner feel like not sensitive enough. I need to used my external tuner pedal to properly tuned my guitar 😅
Hello Leo... Love the vid, I myself now own a GP200. I don't know if it's possible, seeing a s this is a old video, but i would like to know the amp settings (including effects and all) you used for each of the amps used in the intro. hopefully that's possible. thank you and keeep it up 🤘
Hi, thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the video!!! Actually, in the "more sound" section of this video you can find the settings for the sounds used in the demo song. Thank you!
Hi, Mr. Leo. how are you?? Just one more question, please. When you are tuning the guitar. Does it have a bypass and not sounds in the amp??? GRAZIE MILE, AUGURI E BUN ANNO, AMICO
Great review as always. Would it possible to do a quick video on comparing Valeton GP200 and Zoom G6? Both seem to have similar prices. Been a longtime Zoom user, but want to try out something new, if better. Btw, can the loops on GP200 be stored? Thanks.
Hi, thank you, I'm happy you like the review! I'm working on a comparison with the POD GO and then I will verify the most requested comparisons. The zoom has the possibility to store the loops in external cards, which is not available in the GP 200 Thank you!
Ciao Davide, grazie mille, sono veramente felice che ti piacciano i video!!! Secondo me non sono male, ma il suono è una cosa personale, e quindi la mia è solo un'opinione...Come direbbe Obi-Wan Kenobi....segui il tuo istinto...😀 Grazie ancora!
@@LeoGibsonGtrUtilizzando da quasi 9 anni una Fender Mustang Floor ed essendo un amatore livello pro (perdona l'ossimoro 😉), spesso in locali e qualche volta anche sui palchi (ci vuole coraggio con la Mustang Floor 🤣), volevo fare un salto di qualità senza svenarmi, dopo aver scartato Ampero MP-100 per l'esiguo numero di pedali e per i frequenti over-load di CPU, questa GP-200 mi pare la soluzione ottimale, sotto tutti i punti di vista, Fender deboli compresi, magari perdendo qualche minuto in più e con qualche regolazione si sistema tutto. Ancora grazie per il servizio che rendi a noi chitarristi. Ciao
Grazie a te, mi fa veramente piacere essere di qualche aiuto! Sicuramente spendendo tempo nelle regolazione puoi avvicinare l'unità al suono che preferisci...su questo non avrei dubbi. Secondo me i suoni sono buoni...non credo ti pentirai della scelta. Un caro saluto!!!
Ciao, l'ho acquistata dopo aver visto e rivisto il tuo video e sono molto soddisfatto dei suoni e anche della gestione generale che permette il firmware. Ma mi resta un dubbio e forse mi puoi aiutare a risolverlo. E' capitato che mi scivolasse uno degli 8 pulsanti scattando producendo, ovviamente, un rumore meccanico. Questo rumore viene amplificato dalla pedaliera e si sente negli altoparlanti (se c'è inserito in catena un delay si sente anche quello). Ho provato a battere dei colpi secchi con le nocche sulla superficie metallica della pedaliera e anche in questo caso il suono si sente. Pare che all'interno ci sia un microfono che capta i suoni prodotti sulla superficie della pedaliera. Lo strano fenomeno si manifesta con o senza jack inserito nell'input. E' normale tutto questo?
Ciao, Mr. Leo. AS ALWAYS. OUTSTANDING DEMO. Thanks for your time. Just one question, please. I´ve got the impression that the best way to use this pedalborad, and take ALL the benefits it takes, is playin it through a FRFR speaker. If not, I think you don´t take the all profit it has. What´s your opinion, please? THANKS ONE MORE TIME,. LEO GIBSON CHANNEL RULES. Cividiamo,
You are welcome! Well, yes, I think the best way is to use these modellers (not only the GP 200) with FRFR speakers or via a mixing desk. If you go into an amp, you ended up not using the amp and cab simulations and therefore you are not using some functionalities of the units you are buying. Thank you!
Hey Leo and thanks for all the great videos. Quick question regarding these cheaper multi fx boards (GP200, DNA FX Git Pro etc). Do they (or some) have a looper that retains the tone when recording the loop? Say I have a great rhythm tone and I record the basic riff in the looper. I then want to play a solo over that so I switch tone to my brighter solo tone, with a nice delay. Will the looping rhythm part change to the solo sound, or is it recorded with the effects so that it stays the same? Thanks again!
Thank you for your suggestion! Love also from here...we are quite far...thank to YT for been able to create these "connections" between us, even if we are so far away...
Thanks Leo! Great review as always! Sincerely at this price point is difficult to find anything better. I have the Coral Amp preamp by Valeton and I’m not satisfied by distorted sounds, anyway this unit seems to sound good also with distortion (usually the more lacking point of affordable digital units). In your opinion, since you had the chance to review many digital solutions, would it be good enough to play live with it? Thanks again for your great work!
Can't wait to get my hands on that GP200. But I'm curious about the latency of the patch or preset change, that's is my utmost concern about multi-effect processors. Thank you for the Demo and review.
Congratulations, Leo. Your videos are simply awesome. Seeing this video and the one against Pod go, there is no mention to amount of smple points to GP 200. Could you confirm this information? Thank you
Ciao Leo complimenti x il tuo canale, che è ormai un punto di riferimento e per le tue doti chitarristiche, sei veramente bravo, sia a scrivere che a suonare. Volevo sapere se secondo te i suoni della valeton gp200 sono diversi dalla gp100?perché nei tuoi test la gp100 non mi sembrava suonare come la gp200. O gli ultimi aggiornamenti di firmware li hanno equiparati? Ciao. Grazie
Grazie mille Fabio, i tuoi compimenti mi fanno veramente piacere. In quanto al GP 100, i suoni mi sembrano simili, ma dovrei fare una comparativa diretta per poter confermare. Forse in un prossimo video. Grazie ancora
Great video, Leo ! Is there any way to have cabinet simulation (IR) enabled in the XLR output and disabled in the jack outputs ? I'd like to play this thing with a poweramp + cabinet, but also plug it into a mixer so I won't have to deal with amp miking and so. I noticed about the NO CAB L/R mode, but I can't tell if it disable the cab sims on both output.
😀😀😀😀😀👌👌👌👌👌Goshhhh ¡!!! One more time let tell you that, first of all; INCREDIBLE PLAYING (You´re a real master) and E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T (with capitals) demo. ULTRA PROFESSIONAL WAY OF WORKING ¡!!!! I appreciate the time you´ve lost in the sound and image edition. THANKS Deep from my heart. I´m all day enjoyng your videos and taking some notes for my next buying. Tha´t it´ll be, no doubt, this unit. One more time, CONGRATULATIONS. You´re a fresh air. Ohhh. by he way ¿Is it possible rewrite the name of the patterns? Best wishes from Barcelona
Hi Tony, thank you so much, I'm REALLY SUPER HAPPY (capital letters 😀) that you like my playing!!! I'm not completely sure I've understood your question. If you mean the name of the presets, yes it is possible to rename them! Thank you once more!!
Thank you for the useful video. I had the GP 100 but sold it because the reverb algorithms were poor quality. I presume the algorithms haven't changed since the GP 100?
@@LeoGibsonGtr what I meant is in HX stomp I can split the signal (example signal A clean, signal B distortion) it's a good feature for bass player. Honestly I'm looking for HX stomp cheaper alternative. Oh, and can you stack overdrive with fuzz/dual overdrive?
Hi, it is not possible to split the signal chain. You can use the "pre" block to put 3 compressors. 6 boosters, 2 acoustic guitar simulations, 2 wah, 1 filter, 3 pitch shift effects and 2 special effects, like a ring modulator and a tape saturator. Therefore you can stack a booster with a distortion, but not a double distortion. Thank you!
