It's amazing where technology is taking us. Really compact package and loaded! Nothing to dislike here.
When - if ever - will we say that we've reached the limits of what software can do? When hardware will become irrelevant? When something like this unit, or the Ampero, will sound as good as (but perhaps not as versatile as) the Fractal AxeFx3? All these units can now model hardware down to electronic component level. It's a great time to be alive and get to play with this gear! Excellent demo as usual, Burgs!
It's incredible how well the latest generation of inexpensive multi-effects pedals can emulate analogue gear. I don't think the Valeton or NUX etc are quite there yet but I agree with you - it seems like we'll be approaching the point of diminishing returns in terms of sound quality pretty soon.
There's still scope for adding more features and esoteric modulation effects, but maybe at the expense of making these devices more complicated to use, or more prone to firmware bugs.
Also as companies like NUX keep adding features to their multi-effects pedals they inevitably eat into the market for their own standalone pedals. For example why would anyone buy a NUX Atlantic (as nice as it is) when the NUX MG-300 has 99% of its features plus a whole bunch of others? But they're kind of in a no-win situation there.
(I'm not sure the Atlantic is the best example, but you get my point...)
We already have reached that point look at a synth like the moog matriarch about 1.8k$ and you can get the same sounds with a 80$ vst
I bought a valeton gp 100 solely based on this demonstration and I thought that the tones were terrible. I couldn't find or create a single patch that was pleasing to my ears. I'm not a pro but I know what I like
Did you return it?
The Valeton Coral Series of mini-pedals is great! Most have extra knobs that really make them worthwhile. The Lazaro Fuzz has a bias knob that turns the muff-style into a fuzz-face style with splat and sputter, the Tube Refiner is an OCD clone (runs on 18v) with a bass control. Their Tremolo is smooth and subtle and has a volume control. Their chorus is a four knob with a tone control. Their LA Charger is a plexi pedal, much like a Crunch Box Deluxe but with bass and treb instead of tone and presence.
A great time to be alive, gear from everyone
If only some was good.
I wasn't expecting a review of this so soon after your NUX MG-300 video! Good stuff. And great playing as always, Brett.
Yeah, just coincidence really. They both showed up at the same time and both wanted demos out ASAP.
because it is one company@@BrettKingman
Люблю смотреть Ваши обзоры хоть и не понимаю по английски, потому, что и так понятно. Субтитры не включаю потому, что мешают сосредоточиться. Спасибо тебе милый человек.
Большое спасибо за добрые слова. Прошу прощения за языковой барьер - я тоже не говорю по-русски. Но я рад, что вам все равно нравятся видео. Всего наилучшего в 2022 году.
Brett can make anything sound great.
Would have definitely considered purchasing this over my Helix back in the day
Fancied getting this unit for a while, just seen an unused one on eBay only been opened for £75 thought I’d send a cheeky offer at £50 and surprisingly won!! Pretty sure it’ll be well worth £50
I bought one of these, really love the ENGL Savage model. Nice demo. Cheers.
Cheers Brett, I bought this in the basis of your demo and that of Leo Gibson. Both demo's are excellent.
This unit is excellent even the presets are well thought out. Being able to use the footswitches to enable and disable multiple pedals in the chain is a massive advantage on the Nux MG 300. Couple that with 20 ir slots rather than one and an all metal chassis this is really a killer unit.
On some patches/amps you have to gun the volume on headphones but this is easily done in setting and within the patch it self. Totally I haven't played the Nux so I can't say which sounds better to my ears but to my ears this unit sound great both preset wise and creating your own.
I got this on Amazon Prime Day for £103 which is a great bargin. I'd even go so far to say this is entirely gig worthy.
Big 👍🏼
Hi Brett, thanks for the run down just picked up one of these little guys for lounge jaming. Plenty of options like the efx amp & cab sims. The volume pedal / wah is tiny but for home it's perfect.
When I can spend more time fine tunning the user and preset running through valve and solid state sounds fine. The option for stomp or patch is really clever and placing the order of efx is another good idea. Just wish the LED screen was bigger but obviously I'm just getting old, Stone Roses Hint hint we used for setup but Carol Loyd Rail Road Jin for packing up.
Man that pedal sounds crisp. Gonna scoop one
That Charvel is a beaut, a fun guitar!
Yeah, it makes me smile just looking at it. Something valuable during this time, for sure. Thanks for watching!
@@BrettKingman You bet.. I saw that and told myself I need to buy one of those for sure..still haven't but it's on my list..
Valeton GP100, Mooer GE150, Nux MG300.
Nice pedals
Nux MG300 is basically a toy
Hotone Ampero!
Best looking best sounding unit that is all metal and punches above it’s weight. Better presets than the Nux 300. I love the software. I also couldn’t get Nux to work with my computer. The Valeton is all metal and feels hefty. Mine was only $112.00
I paid $50 for one locally off Craigslist. It’s been fun.
$143 at Amazon. Just ordered. Thanks for the demo and info! Best Regards.
You rock! I shall get me one of these based on your review. Well done sir!
This sits at the bottom of my gig bag. If the GT-1000 ever goes down, plug this in and finish the job. It's tough as nails. ChopTones has presets for it if needed. At it's price, it's almost a stocking stuffer. Best Regards!
I bought this on the basis of this demo and its very decently put together.
The ability to turn off individual effects is fantastic. Tonally it is good, although sometimes you have to crank the master or patch volume. Depended on what headphones or speakers you use individual patches may need a tweak.
Being able to have 20 IR slots of your own makes a big difference unlike the Nux which only has one. The amps and effects are also good with an occasional tweak required to taste.
As stated the build quality is great, the best of the bunch. The stereo line outs are a practical addition.
As an interface directly recording streaming USB wet signal I haven't been able to get a similar sound to the headphones as of yet but I only tried once. But you could take the line outs direct into your interface. I think as an interface the Valeton lacks decent preamps but as I said I need to go over it again and have another try.
The only thing which I'd say need an improvement would be the reverb algorithms, each reverb almost has a predelay echo so that if you palm mute or play clean staccato stabs or single lead lines (I play funk) you can hear it no matter what you do. This is the same with all the different types of reverb, they are decent but need improvement.
Would I buy it again? Yes but I do wish they would improve the reverb.
In the latest 1.5v firmware they added a tap tempo function by holding down left foot switch I think.
Great Review! You rule! \m/
🤘🏻🙏🏻
@@BrettKingman i ordered it 2 days ago! ;)
finally someone that is not bursting gain creating oversaturated sh#$@# tones with this.
So, this begs a showdown between the Valeton GP-100 and the Nu-X MG-300. While we're at it, throw in the Mooer GE150 and even the Zoom G1x Four.
Sounds great
Can you tell me how many effects you can use simultaneously
Does anyone know if it can be connected from the outputs to a hi-fi amplifier like the Line 6 Amplifi TT?
Ang galing naman nyan lolo
Good for beginners
Hey Brett...as usual I am late to the party..I kinda gave up un multi-effects processors with some past experience whoas and decided to buy one of these..it just showed up in my mailbox this morning and if you even tried this..can this justbeplugged in without running it into my amp(s) I will be using or my comouter ? I just want to turn it on and scroll through what is all available before plugging into my amp(s). And as always you did an outstanding job here..I saw a couplke of things you did and will use them for my own usage here at home.
Thanks for gr8 review. Is the 'Burg's lead' patch your using at beginning a pre set available already in gp 100? ty
Great review is it better than Nux 300?
GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸
Nice video as always.
Wondering how you like the Axe-FX III? I ask because i am on the waiting list for the smaller brother the FM9.
Note: I was watching this video because I need something to record direct with until I get the FM9 without breaking the bank, but sure would value your opinion on the Fractal units..Thanks as always.

With so much choice and options is it something that could become too complicated?
Thanks for the demo
Good review and nice playing. Do the effects sound better quality than those of the Zoom G1X four, anyone?
G’day Brett, can you please advise if you can clear a loop during a song without the 2 second playback that happens with other pedals? I play some songs where I could do 3 different loops on the fly. Andy
May I know how to connect the GP-100 to the computer...? So I connect using the USB cable..and where do my guitar cable go into...?
How does this compare to the Hotone Ampero? So I can configure the effects, ie: putting the graphic eq in front?
Hi Brett, i'd like to know if you had to choose between Valeton GP100 & Nux MG300 which will you prefer?
@Vladimir it's the stompbox mode I am looking for - I need a wah and a compressor - and maybe a tube screamer - I could have all 3 in this one device on one patch and it would be worth the money - ignoring everything else it does - I have an amp with post fx that I am happy with -
Hello sorry, seen your nice review, I would like to ask you something, I just bought it, but plugged in my Ibanez as 93 FM with p58 the sound is distorted, as if the input signal was too strong, both in the amp and in the headphones, what should I do? Lower the volume on the guitar or are there parameters to set on the valenton? Helpoooooo!😅
Are these tone’s right out of the box
Hi everyone. Does the looper have UNDO / REDO option? Like in the most of the one button loopers when you press and hold the button it will undo the last recorded layer only.
Would it take line level input?
How do u change pedal from Volume to wah wah?
Hiya Brett! Thanks for the video just wanted to get your opinion regarding the USB-interface mode on the GP-100 do you think it's any good or should I purchase a focusrite 2i2 alongside the GP-100 for my bass?
I was thinking of buying the valeton dapper indie, but maybe it would be better to just buy this? It probably can make the same sounds with the dapper indie if I mess around with it a bit, right?
i dont know why but you have a lot more distortion pedals than me 😭😭
Its possible to use with bass Guitar?
I'm torn between this unit and the Nux Mg300. I like the fact that this one is an all metal construction and has stomp box mode, whilst the Nux is plastic and no stomp box mode. Any thoughts?
The nux has a metal case !
Which sounds best, the Valeton GP-100 or the NUX MG-300 ?
Merhaba bu üründe pitch shift,octave,metal Zone efektleri mevcut mu?
Was any downloaded IR used in mking this vid with the pedal or is all stock?
Hey Brett can you please answer this question? I'd appreciate it loads! How do you get your DAW to recognize the GP-100? Like where is it in your DAW? I just received mine today, Cheers pal and great channel btw!
I haven't used this machine since September 2020. But I run Macs here and they see any USB audio device almost instantly. So no dramas at my end. I can't speak for Windows machines as I haven't used one of those since last century. The manual is at cdns.hotoneaudio.com//enclosure/sources/vwbfLuviTGrMrCHO/GP-200_Online%C2%A0Manual_EN_Firmware%20V1.0.4_211206.pdf Failing that, you should consult Valeton. Sorry I can't help further this time. Thanks for watching.
@@BrettKingman I use Mac so hoping I'm ok? but Thanks for the link and answer.You're a great player so Cheers mate!
Great demo 🎸
Completely unrelated...what string gauge do you use if you don’t mind me asking ?
Thanks! I run Ernie Ball 9-42 on Floyd-equipped guitars and Charvels, and 10-46 on pretty much everything else.
I recently got one and does it even have a turn on/off switch 😆?
Can the amp and cab models be bypassed? And can it be hooked up through an effects loop via a 4 cable method? Sounds pretty good in the demo!
You can turn them off, but there is no send return i/o for the 4 cable method.
The gp-200 has them tho.
Do you prefer this or the NUX MG300. Do tell.
Hello sir,Can we save the looper?
Does anyone know if you can have one output go straight into an amp with only amp and cab sims off and the other output go to a mixing console with all the sims on? I haven't found any information other than only one comment. I know that the Mooer GE 150 has this dual output option, but I really want to know if this Valeton pedal has it. I mean, I want to have this dual output mode for live shows so I can send one signal to the amp and have stage volume and have the other signal straight to the console and make sure the audience has the better sound of it.
Thanks in advance.
I doubt it very much, but can't say for sure.
has a menu for mic/amp/effect for vocal???
Could this pedal perform in a small live setting?
Fot the same money you are betting off getting a zoom ms50 ..better amp sims and the reverb delays and mods are levels above this
How does it compare to what Line6 has to offer?
I´ve just bought the GP-100. i found the volume of some presets EXTREMELY louder than others. I´m not sure what´s the best way to handle this since I have no a stand by mode for having a reference of the direct instrument volume against any preset. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated
I'm having the same problem...Some tones are extremely soft especially the clean tones and some distorted tones are extremely loud...
What I did is sit down with mine and a pair of head phones to tweak all the volumes before amping it. Next I want the Amp sims only through my ancient Crate 4x12 to find my flavor.
@@k2000kidd1 That must have taken you a lot of time to do it...You are a very patient guy... : )
@@AsherHoe Haha not really, just old neighbors. can't go from bright acoustic chorus tones to DimeBag and Kerry King patches without someone making a fuss
@@k2000kidd1 Hehe...Oic...Anyway I took your advice and use the amp and cab sim and tube screamer in the Valeton to create a rock rhythm tone...And I use another overdrive pedal to drive up the rhythm tone for a lead tone...Sounds great...The factory presets aren't anything to die for...but with enough and careful tweaking...It can create plenty of different great tones...especially with the different amp and cab sims...It's like you get plenty of different pedals for what we paid for...Value for money...!
Valeton: GP-100 without pedal???
Still can not get the software to work in Windows 10 Driver issues
I've owned and tested, in multiple live situations, all of the different versions of this firmware build (for example, the Mooer GE150 is an exact clone, but with a plastic housing). They all would be outstanding units, were it not for a couple of fatal, deal-breaking flaws that I've had the displeasure of experiencing while in live use. So, yeah...NOT good. The first problem I encountered was that, randomly, on some but not all banks where you build your own preset, the modulation effect will reset itself to maximum level, no matter where you set it when you built the preset. Yeah,I know. Weird! And their support team didn't know how to fix it. Again (let's see if I can explain this better): if you set up a preset with a modulation effect (flanger, let's say), and you set the level to "5", and saved it, here's what might happen on some (butagain, not all) banks -- you'll turn off the unit, and then, when you turn it back on, the level on the flanger for that preset will reset itself to a level of "10". Have you ever hit a pedal in a live performance and had one of the values you thought you set to your preference be COMPLETELY out of whack? Yeah, it sucks.
The second problem I've found is that the expression pedal can NOT be reliably set to any other values than the default of: Min=0%, Max=100%. This sucks because I, personally, lie to set my volume pedals to Min=50%, Max=100%, so that I have a set rhythm volume (Min) and a set lead volume (Max). Easy, right? Well, these pedals don't seem to be able to do that. No matter how I've tried (and again, only on certain banks), it just goes backto factory default.
So anyway, these are things you'll never hear from any of these gear review channels, because odds are, they don't actually use the gear they review enough to find all the practical flaws. What really irked me, though, is that the company's own support team was utterly clueless.
Thanks for your feedback....what processor do you suggest at this range ?
GP100 bro
Is it a poor man’s helix? Great demo as always!
I would say more of an affordable helix. Sounds great! Can't wait to pick one up.
What if you have a Helix for gigging but want something small for home use? Will it deliver or make me want to pull out the Helix anyway?
ur kidding me this pedal is beastly u really dont need to spend a 500 bucks if u dont want to
So essentially it is a pedal
designed for rock guitarists
cause I've not heard you
demonstrate any warm
clean jazzy tones
not everyone one wants
to play rock and
heavy metal metal 😞😓
Can it be powered with USB only?
6:21
Only distortion? Is there no reverb, chorus or delay?
There's all types of effects. I play with a guy who uses it for church, and gets all kinds of tones and effects with his.
