GP-200 : Impressive Modeler with child diseases

4 years ago

Valeton GP200 amp modeler on a budget

Pro's :

- Very stirdy build metalcase and pedal and clever connections (even USB-C and seperate midi in out plus xlr L/R and jack L/R outputs thumbs up for that

- The amps and stock cabs are very good with great dynamics and with a good IR added (you can load enough of them in the unit ) absolute great sounding

- The Wahs, boosts ,drives and modulation "pedals" are also very usefull

- Operation is breeze ,the pc editor is just very good

Con's :

The delay section definitely needs a firmware upgrade, mostly missing afilter section (a lo pass filter would be great addition) and only one delay is stereo (ping pong) the others are weak and bearely usable since they sit behind you own sound ( IMHO)

Reverb is usable but nothing special

Pitchshift just sucks big time

a lot of the fx are missing a dry/wet mix parameter

So in short a very promising unit where future firmware updates could take it easy to subtop level (helix and others ) amps come very close to fractal feel so Valeton please go ahead with new firmware (including correcting the guiding text of the amps (where valeton now is calling them speakers ???) in the pc editor and beat the lot
