- čas přidán 6. 08. 2024
- With this video, we will share a direct comparison between the Valeton GP 200 and the LINE 6 POD GO. First of all we will hear the units in action with a demo song, then we will compare the features and technical characteristics of the 2 units with a very detailed comparison chart, then we will ear more sounds, also comparing the 2 units with real tube amps checking out the frequency response, the dynamic range management, the note envelop, and the effects, and finally I will give you my 2 cents. So I hope you enjoy, and please subscribe and ring the bell, as it would really help me to make more videos like this!!!

#ValetonGP200 #PODGO - Hudba
Thanks Leo, what a great job you’re doing with these comparisons. Super professional but also respectful about the final use of these, contious about the fact the needs depend on use.
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you appreciate the videos!!!
Wow! Your presentation and analysis of the units were absolutely brilliant, comprehensive and spot-on. Your playing was great by the way. Thank you for sharing your insight with us. Very helpful and one of the best on CZcams. Cheers from Canada!
Thank you so much, really super appreciated! I'm happy that you like the video and the playing!!!
For comparison videos I come to your channel always first, by far the best videos online. Great job Leo!
Hi, thank you so much, this is a great compliment that really makes me happy!!!
Thanks Leo! I love your format! So well organized and helpful. Especially the time stamps so we can go back and forth. I have the Pod Go. These units are great and are so powerful. I still mostly gravitate to my real amps or more simple devices like my tech 21 fly rigs for live use. For me personally I just can't get the right sound and feel in a live setting without messing with these type of pedals too much for each preset. It's just me and my preference. I feel it takes my focus away from concentrating on playing. I still love messing with them at home when live performance isn't the priority!
Hi Samuel, thank you, I'm super happy that you like my videos! Thank you also for sharing your opinion and experience...I totally understand you...let me just say that the format, lightness and compactness of these unit is uneatable.
Thank you!
You really are very detailed and one of the most complete reviewer on youtube. The amount of work that you put on your reviews are very out of this world. You are spoonfeeding us all 😁
Thank you so much, this is a super compliment and I'm happy to be of some help!!!
Very exhaustive comparison, excellent job.
Thank you for this valuable information and also for your professional opinion!
Thank you, so much, I'm really happy that you have appreciated the video!!!
I have no idea how you release videos so quickly with this quality of production. I always enjoy.
Thank you James. I'm really happy that you understand the quantity of work behind these videos....they require a lot of time end dedication....but I receive such amazing feedback from our community that you really push me forward in doing more and better. In this case, Christmas holidays were helpful...I had some time to dedicate to these videos...
Thank you once more!
Playing musician, session player, or teacher, with gobs of theoretical knowledge. That's how.
Wauw, thank you for your effort testing these products. I really like your videos. Keep up the awesome work!
You are welcome, and I'm happy that you find my videos useful!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you very much it’s a incredible work. Nice to meet you Leo
Hi Thomas, nice to met you too!!!
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the video!!!
What a great work done!!! Your work looks like scientific research!!! Thank you, wish you health and luck!!
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you have appreciated the video!!!!
this is a very great review.. lots of details and information... really really appreciate it
Thank you so much, I'm super happy that you like the video!!!
Thank you so much Leo.. Few seconds in.. And i already know this is going to be helpful...
You are welcome! I'm happy to be of some help!!
Absolutely love the playing on this video. You had some monster runs.
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the playing!
Another great comparison. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the video!!!
Leo, that demo play through was killer man! Wow!
Thank you so much, I'm super happy that you like the demo song!
Thanks, you have put a lot of work into this.
Thank you Steve, I'm happy that you recognise and appreciate the effort!!!
For the best most informative demo / review / comparisons ... Leo is the man to see . Excellent work . Much appreciate all the work you do . So I bought 2 units ! Nu-X MG300 and Valeton GP200 . I personally can say the NU-X has the edge on amp tones and I prefer the GUI Graphics , plus the Different mics and their placement options . But both are amazing units . Molto Grazzie caro Leo . Cheers from un altro Italiano in Canada .
Thank you so much, I'm really happy to have been of some help!
Thank you also for sharing your experience with both the units!!!
Un caro saluto...da un italiano ... in Italia...😀😀...even if my studio could be kind of everywhere in the world...
@@LeoGibsonGtr Bravo , Leo ! Viva la bella Italia !
Grazie!!! un caro saluto!!!
DO NOT purchase a multi effects unit - before checking in on master Leo on his fine youtube channel . Mind you there are a lot of people making this type of content , but no one can touch Leo . Thank you so much for all your hard work Leo. You helped me with my choices not too long ago , since then i have been extremely happy with my purchase and thru that i have grown as a player and we sound better than EVER . Having GREAT sound , so many options , and the ability to organize it all so it makes sense , intuitively its no small feat. Ultimately i have embraced digital a long time ago , and now the time has come where its clear that i did make the smart choice. Its time to reap the benefits of this choice , and i thank Leo gratefully for making that so simple for me . Everyones needs are different , we all have our own set of ears , its like music , if we all went around whistling the same tune , it would be a pretty boring place to live . music and tone is subjective , what works for you is different for me . Its important to understand stuff like this and accept these facts as thinking its cut and dry and what is on your board is "the best" and everything else is "garbage" is a closed minded approach that will turn people off . I appreciate what Leo is doing and has done because he is a bit above that type of nonsense . On top of that as i always say , as player no matter what level , from the beginner "kid in his bedroom with the line 6" ( i have noted this response online many times and i think , what where they born steve vai?) to the guy who is recording his 20th solo guitar instrumental cd - it is NOT our gear which should DEFINE us , that should be the job of our MUSIC . Its easy to get caught up in a "gas" cycle , and utilize "stink think" such as what i mentioned - all gear is garbage except what is on my board right now or - if someone else plays thru something different they are noob . At the end of the day i would find it refreshing if people can consider things like - no one in the audience ever (CARED) left a gig because they notice the guitar player was not using a tube amp . YES tube amps sound great , no they are not always feasible . as we move forward and things like carbon footprint and 2030 , greta thronberg will be coming for your tubes . you can bank on that . being a guitar player should not be a "private part measuring contest" but ultimately there is a lot of this attitude floating around . lets try to keep ourselves grounded and stop judging the next guy for what he may play thru or NOT play thru . there is a right way to look at these devices and compare them fairly , and thats exactly what Leo does best , next to playing his guitars of course .
Hi Petey, thank you so much...these are such great compliments...I can't say thank you enough!!!
Thank you also for sharing your findings...interesting points for sure!!! I totally agree with you...we all have different needs, and we all perceive tone and music differently....but for sure we all share a great passion and love for music!
Thank you!
Very true comment. I'm a gigging multi fx user and I've tried all the big brands and models live, money no issue and nothing touches my first ever unit for sound quality/ tone. Not even subsequent models in the same band! That first FX unit, the Zoom G1!
Brilliantly said, so refreshing to hear and sooo true, thankyou.
Props on those clean arpeggios!
Amazing job! Great video, as ussual. I do like your way to look at things ;-) By the way, wonderful mix and great drums. Best regards from Germany ;-)
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the video!!!
amazing comparison, thank you Leo!
You are welcome and I'm really happy that you appreciate the video!!!!
Nice work as usual Leo👏🏾👏🏾👍👍Thanks. #staysafe
Thank you, I'm happy that you like the video!!! Stay safe you too!
Man, the sounds we can get for not a lot of money these days. What a time to be a guitar player. IMO you would be happy with either of these units.
Yes, I do agree...with few $ you can get amazing tones....
Thanks
Indeed my friend truly awesome 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
Great demo ... as usual. Thanks for that ! I found the reverb and delay effects better on the Pod Go ... still, not bad in the Valeton ... price difference is a major + for the Valeton although ... so would go for the Valeton ... ;-)
Hi, thank you. I'm happy that you like the demo! Thank you also for sharing your opinion!
One of the best gear comparison channels.
Thank you so much! Really super appreciated!!!
Thank you Leo, your presentation and comparison really helped me in deciding what guitar effect would suit me. In my heart, I chose a real amp,. In my brain I chose the Line 6 Pod GO and in my budget I chose the Valeton GP200. In the end, my choice fell to the Valeton GP200 where in comparison you did, the GP200 was close to the sound of the original amp. So, many thanks and warm greetings from Bali.
Thank you so much, I'm happy to have been of some help!!! Very nice point about heart, brain and budget...😊...it a pretty cool way of seeing things!!!
Setelah penggunaan valeton gp200 apakah ada masalah?
@@melkisedekkasiaheng1761 Very satisfying for prices in the middle class. If you have more funds, it's worth considering buying the BOSS GT1000. The best sound I've ever heard with the new technology
Great look at the two! Also, if you already have a good audio interface with better sample rates, the Valeton already has XLR outs vs needing an adapter.
Hi Scott, thank you both for the compliments and for sharing your opinion!
This was exactly the kind of video I was looking for!
Thank you for letting me know!!!!
Effects were a little bit “sweeter,” to my ear, on the podGo. But both amp sounds were good. I only caught a minuscule increase in background noise with the plexi sound on the Valeton. Thank you for taking pains to thoroughly compare the units. Your videos are very useful as I explore my options for direct guitar sounds. Also, loving your songs.
Thank you Jacob, I'm happy to have been of some help and I'm super happy that you like the songs!!!
I heard that too, but I think the pod go is darker, when i used to have one I couldnt get a sound out of it that i liked, partially as it was SO dark.
I think thats why the gp sounds buzzier, the noise is more present
Well made as always Leo!! In the next video please do a comparison between Valeton GP 200 and Mooer GE 250.
Hi, thank you! Thank you also for your suggestion! I will see what I can do....
Again a very nice video. I personally like the Valeton better as it has a drum machine. Also in my opinion the Valeton does high gain better, that's why I ordered the Valeton and I am very happy so far. Take in notice that for love use and recording I use my Quad Cortex, the Valeton is in my living room for quick recording of ideas for later use and for rehearsing/playing without having to set up everything.
Thnx again for the great review Leo!! They always brighten up the day.
Hi, thank you so much, I'm super happy that you like the video! Thank you also for sharing your opinion!
How does the Valeton sounds stack up against the quad cortex?
"Hello everybody, my name is Leo..." LIked, commented and subscribed right away!
Thank you!!! Your sub really means a lot to me!!!
Great job making this review, thanks.
As to me - one advantage that the Valeton has surpasses those few advantages of the POD GO, namely XLR outputs. As the V-200 owner I’ll be missing the possibility of using two delays or two reverbs, but there is always the FX loop, after all.
The only regret is that V-200 can’t send non-simulated signal to jack outs while sending simulated signal to XLRs. But when I recall the price of the unit I can stand that shortage.
Hi Leo, thanks for the video. I always appreciate the consistency in your product comparison methods.
That said, I'd like correct you on one relatively important aspect of the POD Go. The block order is very easily editable and all blocks except the input and output can be positioned anywhere in the chain. Page 13 in the (English, Rev. D) manual contains instructions on how to do it.
Hi Michael, thank you, I'm happy you like the videos!
Thank you also for the correction!
Love the up/down mode/tap button positioning. Up on top row!
Hi, thank you for sharing!
Great videos man, thanks!!
You are welcome, I'm happy that you like the video!
Increible video! Estoy equipado con una POD HD500X y quiero pasarme a uno de estos dos.
Hi, thank you so much, I'm really super happy that you like the video!!!
Hi Leo. Excellent review as usual. But I'd also like to point out that you're a exceptionally good guitar player. I always enjoy your tunes. Well done! Out of interest, a comparison to its cousin, the Ampero, would be great.
Leo can make even a bad unit sound superb
Thank you so much for such great compliments !!!
Muito boa comparação como sempre nos habituou.👍
Hi Claudio, thank you, I'm happy that you like the video!
Great video as always Leo ! Both of the units sound very good and very similar to both each other and the original amps even though there are of course slight differences. There is one thing i reacted to though and it is that you say that the order in the effect chain in POD Go is fixed and that is not correct.
Hi Stefan, thank you, I'm happy that you like the video!
Great video as always!!! Grazie!!!
Thank you, really super appreciated!!
Awesome guitarist and enjoyed watching you play.
Thank you sooo much, when you like my playing....I'm surer happy!!!
I saw a highly respected CZcamsr (John Nathan Cody) who didn't like the POD-Go much, but after its 2.0 Firmware a few weeks ago I believe, totally changed his opinion. I am looking at the Valeton. But might go with Headrush MX-5 or even the upgraded Podgo. Until then the cheap Boss GT-1 is good enough for me 😀. Wonderful demo. Just subscribed. Thanks
Hi, thank you so much for sharing!
I'm really happy that you appreciate the video and your subscription really means a lot to me!!!
Thank you!!!
Leo seu trabalho é excelente, continue. Brazil here.
Thank you, I'm super happy that you like the video!
🇧🇷 Muito boa demostração!
Tenho assistido, vários vídeos do canal! Belo trabalho!
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the videos!
Very awesome player you are! I like the honesty in your review. Only a little advice, in my modest opinion, the most difficult thing to reproduce with a digital device are the distortion and gain. It would be interesting to hear the differences between the units in this case. However compliments and go on!
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the video!!!
Thank you also for your suggestion! Let me just add the in my opinion it's even harder for the modellers to replicate the way an amp reacts to our touch, I mean the way the amp cleans up and break up according to how soft or hard you push the strings...thatìs what I try to test in my videos.
Nevertheless for sure also distortion is hard to replicate
Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtr you're 100% right, Leo! Certainly you're more experienced than me! But I swear, for me the most difficult thing (I play hard rock) was to find a decent distortion sound. I finally and happily got a GE 200 unit (with personalized IR), my previous pedal was a boss me-80 (very very bad DS)... It wasn't a criticism to your video (really neat and hi quality one!) only an idea that maybe could be useful for you in relation to the "metal guy" viewer.
However I've found your videos very honest. Congratulations and all the best to you!
Thank you so much! Yes, I see what you mean and thank you so much for your feedback!!!
Leo Gibson playing a Fender!!!👍😊 Nice!!!
😀...thank you! I should have also played a Les Paul....
Thanks for your work.
You are welcome!!!
Great revew as always.... I am enjoying watching your testing/review.... I was planning to take the headrush.... then the ampero II but this is one for the price is not so bad. If I am not wrong you will review another "podgo" style multieffect pretty soon ? (according to your last guitar news video)
Hi, thank you, I'm happy that you like my videos! Actually, I have the NUX Amp Academy to review (official launch in march) and then some pedals...
Thank you once more!
Remarkably useful comparison! I am surprised to say I prefer the Valeton's tone. Its plexi had better harmonic simulation on the top end, and the chorus was superior. The Pod Go sounded consistently more compressed and the chorus was almost flanged.
Hi, thank you for sharing your findings and I'm really happy that you like the video!!!
Great stuff. Would love to see a video shooting out the Valeton with the Headrush gigboard
Hi, thank you, I'm happy that you like the video!!! Thank you also for your suggestion!
Great comparison, thanks for that! I may be wrong, but it seems as if the GP 200 has a scene function which can be activated with the CTRL switch, saw this being used in other videos.
Thank you!
It's strange, as I asked to Valeton guys if the scenes were available and they told me the they are not available....I will check it out once more
@@LeoGibsonGtr That is really strange, an example is here: czcams.com/video/QJLs6X4X1bM/video.html
You also see this in their videos for their presets in which they use it too. I really hope it has it, because I ordered one already. :)
Yeah, I think the ctrl switch will only turn on and off only one scene within a preset
first of all.... KUDOS to you for putting in ALOT of work to make this comparison for US!!! THANK YOU.. One thing that is bothering me through out this shoot out... the POD GO was much more noisy/hissy especially during the Fender examples... and i think that would lead to sound quality degredation problems during recording and or layering multiple tracks in the studio... everything else was kind of a wash with, in my opinion, the Valeton sounding just a bit better overall... and just a bit closer to the actual amp tones... of course these sound differences would be negligible in a live situation... with all the other sounds and stage noise and DRUMS 🙄... these minute differences would never be noticed... thank you again for the comparisons... ive made up my mind... VALETON GP 200 gets the NOD from me... PEACE..✌😎
You are welcome and I'm really happy that you like the video!
Thank you so much also for sharing your findings and your final decision!!!
Both sound great. I will say that Line 6 pod has a solid reliability record. Not sure about the others. And the updates are another good thing with Line 6 and it's history. I still have a Pod Pro and Pod xt in my stable. They work perfectly after all these years.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion and experience!
Great review as always Leo! I think when I heard your demo song, besides the fact that I always love your demo songs, it was nearly impossible to tell each of the modelers apart from the real deal amp. It all sounded great. Also, in the individual sounds section if I close my eyes I had a very difficult time telling one from the next. My only thought on a purchase is, is the manufacturer going to be around to support the device for a year or two as well as community support with downloadable patches, etc. Line 6 seems to have great community support with a fairly regular update cycle from the manufacturer. If Valeton can get community support and firmware and additional models and effects added as the product ages, I think the GP-200 can be a POD Go killer. I was able to find my POD Go on sale when I bought it last year and I paid $428 shipped to my door including tax. So, to me it was a no-brainer. Now if you could buy each unit for 50 to $75 apart in price it would be a tough decision. For me, I still feel more comfortable with the established product by Line 6. In the past, I bought an "off brand" modeler and the company discontinued it within a year and there was never any additional support or effects or models or anything else. That would be my only drawback for the GP-200, whether or not Valeton will support the unit for a year or more with updates or not. Third party IR's really make the POD Go come alive. I have all 128 Banks loaded with IR's with various mic positions and it makes the unit sound incredible. The stock cabinet models leave a lot to be desired in the POD Go. God bless and rock on 🎸👍😎
Hi, thank you so much, I'm happy that you like my videos! Thank you also for sharing your opinion and experience...very interesting points....and things that are important for a final decision. I would just add that both valeton and Ampero belong to the same company and Ampero is around since many years...so I guess that also Valeton will not disappear...but who knows...
Thank you once more!
Thank You for the video Leo, Especially in this moment I’m looking for a multi effects pedal.
Could you do a video to compare the Headrush Mx 5 and the Valeton gp 200? Or give me your advice on which one to choose ?
Thank you !
Thank you for the video
You are welcome!!
Great video, very comprehensive and objective! The only thing I'd like to change would be a shorter time between audio clips of the units you are comparing. My ears have very short term memory :) At about 19:19 the clips were a little closer together and I really found that helpful for me. Thanks again!
Hi Rick, thank you, both for the compliments and the suggestions...I will try to put the clips more close, without losing the full decay of the note.
Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thank you so much. And once again, great videos, I appreciate all the hard work you put in to make them so good!
For a faster comparison you can just forward the time in the video timeline. The point was to showcase the full decay time. Its far more useful to err on the side of length, showcasing the full effect which can always be shortened by a single click in the timeline vs cutting it short which would be impossible to add something that was cut.
Thank you Rick, thank you G4LCTC. Yes, my intention was to showcase properly the decay, and the trick you suggest here is very useful!!! Thank you!
Hi Leo, I love your videos.
Do you keep all the multi effects units? Are you collecting them? I really like the idea of having a lot of multi effects units, but I don't seem to find another guy (or gal) that have the same amount of units like you.
Keep doing your great work :D
Hi Gabriel, yes, I keep them as they are at the basis of my YT channel. I've bought some of them (the vast majority) and some of them have been provider buy the builders, to allow me to test them. Thank you for your message and I'm super happy that you like my videos!!!
Exelente comparación, cómo siempre un buen trabajo de calidad sigue adelante👍
Que opinas de La Nux MG 30 comparando Valenton y pod go
Les da batalla?
Hi, thank you!!!
They are all great units...of course the main difference are the number of foot switches available, as the MG 30 has 3 (plus 2)
@@LeoGibsonGtr gracias por responder, yo tengo una nux MG 30 gracias a Dios y es muy versátil y su calidad es buena, admiro tu trabajo y esfuerzo ánimo😎👌 en un preset vi que decía leo Gibson, es tu preset?🤓
Reliability (trust over time of use) = is my #1 priority . I will choose Pd GO for now . Great video, Maestro Leo !
Thank you for sharing your findings and I'm super happy that you like the video!!!
You know that's actually very clever thinking... I must've watched hundreds of vids comparing the valeton gp200, the ampero one, the pod go and the nux mg 30 (this one is kinda incredible). And while they're not too far off from each other, the pod go just looks more... Reliable? We all know line6 and their pods for decades so yeah
Great detailed side by side comparison! Thank you for your care and professional unbiased test and opinions! Very helpful as I try to figure the next step in my 'sound'. Love your studio!!! Keep sharing and comparing! All the best!
Thank you so much, I'm super happy that you like the video!!! Your feedback is very important for me!!!
En cuanto al tono, definitivamente la Valeton se acerca mucho mas que la POD GO. Excelente video!
Thank you so much, I'm really happy that you like the video.
Thank you also for sharing your opinion!
Good comparison !
Thank you!! Appreciated!
Fantastic! Thank you
You are welcome and I'm happy that you like the video!!!
Thanks for your video, Leo!!! Please could you make a comparation between the Valeton and the Ampero???
Hi Juan, you are welcome! Thank you for your suggestion!
Thanks Leo !

Wow, speechless. We'ed love to see Valeton vs Ampero too... 😇
Thank you, I'm super happy that you like the video! Thank you also for your suggestion!
@@LeoGibsonGtr I'm a big fan of your product demos amd comparisons.
Both sound great, but here in Australia the price difference is huge, about 500 to 600 dollars cheaper for the GP200.
So, GP200 wins for me, I like the bonus balanced outputs too, also a 3 minute loop and decent drum machine. Cheers
Hi, thank you for sharing ...I didn't know about that price difference ... pretty big.
Thank you!
Wow, those are some ridiculous prices for you Aussies :O That really sucks!!! I feel ya mate!
Great video 👍
Thank you!!!
I have Pod GO and zoom G3X and in my opinion the reverb and phasing effects are more pleasant on zoom. I don't posses GP200 but reverb seems to be better than these on Pod Go as well.
The sound response on zoom makes easy to play (maybe because of some little compression added). Pod Go is cutting the sound before it releases even without noise-gate activated what is a big drawback in my opinion. This is totally of topic but zoom's ZNR noise gate is superior to all I ever heard. Thank you Leo for this vid, like always it is excellent. Cheers! bye!
Hi, thank you so much for sharing your findings and I'm really happy that you have appreciated the video!!!
I have the same of units and I totally agree with you, I definetely prefer the Zoom!
Complimenti Leo, come al solito.... 😊 Volevo chiederti che programma usi per la batteria nei tuoi demo, che sono anch'essi ottimi... Complimenti! Sarebbe interessante vedere come "costruisci" le tue songs
Ciao Sergio, uso Toontrack EZdrummer 2. Si, prima o poi devo fare un video su song e video....
Grazie mille!!!
the valeton more realistic to the real amp...thnx leo ...great video...
Thank you, both for sharing your opinion and for the compliments!
Top. Thank you man.
You are welcome, thank you!
Again, great comparison！ Can't hear any tonal difference. I don't record, so I will go for GP200!
Thank you! I'm happy you like the video! Thank you also for sharing your opinion!
@@LeoGibsonGtr You're so kind that always reply our messages
Hi, I try to do my best...and you comments and support is super valuable for me...you all add a tons of value to the channel....so I try to always answer....I really care about your opinions!
I really like the fact that the GP-200 offers a more flexible signal chain and doesn't seem to max out its processing power quite as easily as the pod go does. The GP-200 is a no-brainer! Thanks Leo.
You are welcome and thank you for sharing your opinion!!
That is not correct, the POD Go offers a more flexible chain than the GP-200 since it has 4 blocks where you can choose any effect as long as there is prcessing power for it, in the GP-200 the blocks are fixed when it comes to what type of effect they may contain.
@JCW 308 I cant agree with you at all when it is clear that the chain in the GP-200 is completely fixed with exeption for the order and while you also can change the order of the effects on the PD Go you can also choose any effect in 4 of the blocks (as mentioned earlier) which you cant on the GP-200.
@JCW 308 So what would you say is more flexible with the GP-200 ? Im not saying it is bad in any way, its just that perticular aspect i pointed out.
I disagree with that. In pod go you can use 2 delay, or 2 reverb, or 2 drive pedal. Which in Gp200 can't. And pod go has snapshot also. It's like a switching system for you board like the helix. N you could free more block by "hacking" the patches, so you could have more pedals in it. So i think pod go has more flexibility than the gp200
Leo, thank you so much for this review! The audio interface for recording on Valeton seems disappointing.
H, thank you, I', happy that you like the video!
OUTSTANDING REVIEW. YOUR ARE GREAT, MAN !!!!! WHAT A GREAT JOB. Both of them are great. But, speaping in terms of BEEING PRACTICAL, I think The Valeton has great improvements and a great price. THANKS A LOT, I WAS WAITIN´ FOR THIS REVIEW. I PROMISE. HAHAHAHAHA
Thank you Tony, really super appreciated and I'm happy that you like the video!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Not only this, from now on I´m a great fan of your channel. I repeat thanks. great, great work. Nive to meet you.
Super!!! 👍👍
Hi Leo,
New subscriber here, love the channel! (Mostly just the playing 👌)
What are your thoughts on this up against the hotone ampero? Would love to hear your any feedback
Hi Andy, thank you so much, your sub really means a lot!
Well, both the units belong to the same company, so I think they are sharing the amp modelling algorithms. The new Ampero Stomp 2 has much more options in term of cabs, mics positioning, etc. and obviously the Valeton has the 8 foot switches.
Thank you once more!
Regarding effects loop, which is likely importantly to a large segment of users, stereo is fairly important, since a great deal of use cases are for ambience effects, and those need to be stereo. The pod go effects loop is stereo, and that should be the norm (although, I did have to buy a break-out cable for the pod go).
Regarding the line-6 pod go' effects loop. The 1.3 firmware upgrade is buggy. I had to literally unplug the pod go for an extended period of time before the effects loop began to properly operate.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion and experience!
I liked the plexi on the pod go. The fender clean tone, chorus and plate reverb, was better on the Gp200 imo.Mod effects on the pod go sounds a bit saturated imo. Thanks for the video. I use a GT 1 thinking of switching to the GP 200
Hi, thank you so much for sharing your findings!
Useful videos, thanks. And what about Valeton GP-200 vs Hotone Ampero? I'm trying to choose one of them...
Thank you! Well, I think I have not done a comparison...good suggestion..thank you!
This has made it even more difficult for me to choose, I was going for the pod go because the snap shot feature is handy,. But now very undecided
Yes, it's a pretty hard decision...
I had the POD GO and returned it, about 3 months ago. I just bought the GP200 and really like it. Very easy to program and set up. Leo, it would be great if you could show how to control the GP200 with midi. I cannot find anything with regards to that on the web. Thanks for your videos, really love them.
You are welcome and I'm happy that you have found the videos useful!
Thank you also for your suggestion...a video about midi could be interning...
Heart warming for me 😊
What specifically made you choose the Valeton over the pod go?
What I've heard is three different amps, all sound great, with minor differences between them. I would say, go with the lower price.
Hi, thank you for sharing...good point!
I feel like you don't get enough credit for that brilliant octopus story
😀
Very impressive!
Thank you!
L E O - THANKS for all the work to compare these !! - liked and subscribed -
But - NO personal tweaking would have been much better... just to hear what the units put out by themselves -
to REALLY compare them !
Some more Crunch tones chords would have been much better ! That's what Marshall is all about !
All the patches sounded a little better with more slightly more range and high end in the Valeton - to me
How could you Not mention the wireless in the Line 6 ... is it Not in the Valeton ? - which makes the Line 6 even more expensive...
Hi, you are welcome and your sub really means a lot to me!
In the "My 2 cent section" of the video you can hear both the tweacked tones and the NON tweaked ones.
I don't have the wireless POD GO, and here I'm comparing the standard version.
Thank you for your message!
Hi Leo, about the Valeton GP 200, it has a good quality pitch shifter effect. Could I simulate a "whammy"(digitech) satisfactorily?
Thanks for the great review! One thing I notice you don't talk about is the distance between the foot switches, which becomes very important for live use. The Valeton GP switches are quite close together, which give it a smaller size but can lead to accidental switching mistakes. The Mooer GE250 has this problem, too, which is made worse because hitting two switches by accident can trigger the tuner (killing the sound) or even worse, trigger the looper, which can completely mess up a live performance.
Hi Eddy, I'm happy you like the video. I talked about the foot switches distances in my demo review here: czcams.com/video/_v5S5oN_Kz8/video.html
In that video I showed the distance for the GP 200 and I compared it to the POD GO, therefore I preferred not to do the same thing also here.
Thank you.
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thanks for the reply! Ah yes. I remember you mentioned the foot switch distances there (6 cm vs 7 cm). For me, this is quite important. I ended up switching from the Mooer GE250 to the Moeer GE300 *Lite* because of the bigger switch distance. Interestingly, the Mooer GE300 also has narrow switches, so maybe manufacturers are now prioritizing the size of the box.
Hi, thank you for sharing!
I make that mistake on the Helix LT which is much bigger than either of them. I guess neither the POD GO and the GP200 are atta the option for me. lol
It will be so much better if we can at the very least disable the bank up and down switches or if we can use them to switch effects on and off instead.
Hi Leo, excellent review. A query, in your opinion, between the Valeton GP-200 and the Nux MG-30, which one offers better modeling of amplifiers and effects? It would be great if you could do a versus of these pedalboards.
Hi, thank you for your suggestion....I will think about it!
hey leo what is your final decision!
@@LeoGibsonGtr
Thanks Leo a good comparison demo off both units, I feel it’s slightly unfair to compare these two units together really as the POD GO is between £360-£400 in the UK New and the Valeton GP200 New I can get for £220 Delivered, so quite a big difference in price but I understand the layout and features of both units are very similar, so really it’s down to what each person is able to afford, in my opinion they are both very good units for their price, and if you have the extra money available then the Line 6 will be the better, but the Valeton is still excellent for £220 UK.
Thanks for your review Leo, very helpful.
You are welcome and I'm happy that you like the videos!!! I do agree with you....
Hi! It is all matter of perspective. I purchased an HX Stomp almost a year ago, I was so proud of the count of modells and possibilities in the unit. Now, almost a year later I still can not say that I am satisfied with my sound. I bought a Valeton GP100 a month ago, I made gig ready sounds of it in a week... I became sick of "option paralysis" of the Helix, that is why I will change to GP200. And I am not new to floor effects, I program and use them for 25 years, and I am a recording/mixing/mastering engineer for 17 years. I think the devil lies in the details of the power amp modelling of the HX stomp, it is too much options for me.
@@eriqur Hi Erik I hope you are good? Very true what you say mate, believe me if I had the money and could afford it I’d definitely buy a Helix or stomp etc without a doubt, we’re all different and want different things from any product, for me I’m not that bothered about having all the different Amp models in the modellers all I want are the individual effect, modulation, delay, reverb, drive, distortions, pitch FX etc and I’m not that interested in IR’s although I know they would be beneficial and I would use certain favourites if I had a decent enough bit of kit to do it, for now I’m happy with what I’ve got. But I totally understand why many want the amps, cabs, IR’s from a modeller to replace using an amp at gigs and going directly into the PA for ease and not having to carry an amp to s gig, for me as a musician taking my amp and other gear to a gig is still totally part of the whole live experience of playing a gig and being a musician, it’s part of the whole vibe for me, I think I’m part of a low percentage of musicians that still like to do this nowadays. I have a Valeton GP100 also that I picked up used for £40 in the UK and I really like the unit and sounds great and works for me, if your willing to spend time, edit and dial in parameters you can achieve and create your own guitar sound individual to you and never expect to just plug in and presets to immediately sound exactly as you want, gotta work with any piece of gear to get the most and best sounds from it. The GP200 is a very good unit for a lower price than similar models from other brands and you can do pretty much the same, but all down to the individual, what they want, how much cash they’ve got and how much they’re willing to spend.
But Indian rupees 37000
Too much price according to UK
I think the number of Effects, Snapshots, and overall Tone keeps the Pod Go in the lead, if I needed a Floor unit. Thanks
Thank you for sharing your opinion and experience!
The Valeton might be a good option until my name comes up on the waiting list to buy the Fractal FM9...
So I am looking for something very inexpensive until that time for recording. Nice video, as always, Leo...
PS...I wish how much longer I needed to wait for the FM9!
Philip
NYC Area
Hi Philip, I was in the waiting list for more than an year...and when the unit was ready ... I finally cancelled the order...the price in Euro is over 2.400€...too much...I will keep on with the FM3...
Yes, the Valeton is a very good option!
Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Hi Leo, The price of the FM9 went up here in the U.S. last month from $1699 US to $1799 US...(That's $1806 Euros I looked it up)...
I have only been on the list for about 6 weeks, so this looks like it will take a very long time.
It is almost worth it for me to spend a little more and buy the AXE-FX III for $2299 $US which ships in one business day according to Fractal's website...
Philip
Hi Philip, maybe the availability in USA is better than in Europe...never say never..😀. I guess that from 1.806 we reach 2.400 adding import duties, taxes etc...
@@LeoGibsonGtr Yes, I agree Leo...One should never say never!
On another note, I enjoy your in depth videos and great info and well accomplished playing. All the best...
Philip
Thank you so much, when you like my playing...I'm super happy!
Pod doesn't have the balanced XLR outputs that the Valeton has. This is a prerequisite for direct to PA / serious stage use IMO. Although the Pod can be used, a seperate DI unit is required and good ones are not cheap.
I'm considering the Valeton for my live shows.
The best gear chanelll.....
Thank you!! This is really a great compliment!!!
Hi, Leo,. how are you, friend? Just one more question, please. Can you tell me if, both of them, have a function to variate halt tone de tonality for playing half tone below without changing the tuning in the guitar? and ... is a seriouis problem the 44.000 Hz recording of the Valeton in order to quality of the final sound? Thanks one more time. Salute e buona giornata, amico.
