the dapper, great choice
sounds are very good, cotrole knobs are quite small but overall very happy with this pedal !
Handy starter kit for gigging with a bass
For the amp simulator and compressor alone, this pedal is well worth it, especially to just get going playing bass live without lugging an amp and researching a lot of pedals.
The chorus, fuzz, and octave effects are fine but limited. They might suit your sound but you will eventually expand beyond this.
Again, for the amp and compressor alone, this was great purchase.
Pretty ok
A great starter pedal with a few different usable sounds, but I ended up just sticking to clean tbh. The only real bad thing was the octave, where it is the 2 octaves below, which is stupid for bass in my opinion, but otherwise it works well and is pretty solid - I just ended up moving back to clean
Handy, good effects
Although the size makes it a very compact gadget, it also affects the quality of the effect. Does 80% of what a high end effect gadget should be doing.
Awesome all in one Bass pedal
I looked at a few different options to plug directly into the PA at church with dsl out and this valeton works perfectly. I really like the amp settings that allows me to adjust bass, mid, treble, vol, and gain and the other effects are awesome too. This is a very versatile effects pedal with all it can do and in such a small package. Fits right in my gig bag to carry with me. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a simple and versatile effects pedal for the bass.
