This unit passed the ultimate test for me: sounding good live at a gig with a full band. 💥 its a keeper.

You know what’s next right? I think we’re going to need a shootout between a real amp, the pod go, the Headrush MX5, and the Velaton GP-200 👍🏻

It did sound really good, the SLO, Mesa and Engl were good tones and could be dialed in nicely. The pitch shifting was pretty impressive and it didn't really seem to have any DSP limitations to speak of. For what it is, seems like a great unit. Perhaps the GE250 would be more useful with it's tone capture through the app but overall, especially for the $349 price point, should be a great, inexpensive way to get into quality tone dialing.

Someone somewhere is probably whining "BUT TAYLOR, NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD TO RUN THEIR MODELER THROUGH A MESA/BOOGIE 4x12, HOW DO THE ON-BOARD IRS OR WHATEVER SOUND?!" Jokes aside, amazing tone and video as always, congratulations on your daughter's upcoming birth, hope you guys stay safe and healthy!

From what I can tell, the valeton gp series would easily be able to kill the pod go but the problem is that valeton doesn't have an American distribution part and if they worked there way into music stores. It would be a success.

Any MFX pitched for stage should have XLR outputs for those like me that connect direct to PA and don't use amps. Well done Valeton. You may convert me from Zoom.

the actual amp tones are never talked about enough. I know with these units there is a lot to cover...but meat and potatoes is how does the amps sound... feel...string separation...articulation of notes.

You can get good patch tones off of Chop Tones I love my Valeton GP200. I found I get better tones through my HeadRush FRFR 1x12 rather than my Marshall

Would be interesting to see a shootout between this and the Ampero - the only differences I can see are the ‘MIDI Through’ and ‘FX Loop’ connections ?

Bro I sub'd just because you ran down the signal chain before you started. God bless you!

dude your video production is amazing, its a shame more people dont get to see your awesome content

Unless I've missed something in the few reviews out there, the GP-200 lacks the concept of "snapshots" or "scenes" within a patch, which allow you to toggle many parameters at once. As such, you have to rely on switching to an entirely new patch, which will kill your verb/delay trails and maybe even cause a silence gap of a few hundred milliseconds. So the GP-200 entirely blows the Pod GO out of the water on price (assuming $350 will stick), but lacks this functionality. I'd say that the Headrush MX5 was closer competitor (despite mismatched form factor), but that's been out of stock everywhere and NOW has a street price $100 more than it was a week ago!

Love the part where you 'cut back on the gain' with the EV51...

The wip my head 😂back and forth was spellbinding 😂

The era of multi fx reached the era of every 6 month mobile phone upgrades!

Still sounds good to me. Can't justify upgrading from my GP-100.. but I want to! Still a huge step up from the Mustang Floor I previously had (for metal tones)

You really went all out in the editing😄nice work, man! And very interesting product as well. That price point with that feature set is crazy!

I'm looking for a good looper on a multi effects board 180seconds is longer than a lot of them. That being said it's not long enough I'm doing 7 minute loops on my 65$ amazon looper and it's got 3 save slots but no way to copy those loops. For the price these multi effects boards cost they should have an infinite loop memory and the ability to save multiple loops as well as a way to download them.

Pod Go is now near the bottom of the barrel for modelers. SO many better options in the same price range. My favorite is the Headrush Gigboard.

Finally the up/down and "mode", etc buttons are in their proper location!!!!! (I'm at 1:55 so far)

hi man .. a waiting shooutout pod go vs nux mg vs valeton gp200 ... deadly battle between them !!! who wins will be the best cost-benefit market multi fx today !!!

We live in a good time for guitarists with all this gear😁

The main difference would be the pod go has hx technology as its sound engine. Ergo while it has fewer FX and Amp emulations the ones it has would be of a higher quality than that in the GP200. Are the FX loop ios on the GP200 stereo or mono? Perhaps more detail needs to be bought forward. Difficult to differentiate when all the sounds heard are on the heavy side of the street. OH I do have both units.

snapshot (line6's trademark "scene" feature) is life. it's eric clapton to angus young to randy rhoads in one patch/preset, each a toe swing away. absolutely an indispensable feature on stage. killer is a strong word, what's the point of let's say hypothetically a cheaper price and slightly better model sound if it makes your life harder going live?

It's actually available on Amazon for $350.

I can always appreciated the review of a man wearing a bathory shirt🤘legend.

Great video Taylor, as always. Do you have any plans to make a comparation between this and any of the Amperos??? I think they use the same amp emulations. Thanks!!!

Same models as the Ampero. Both Chinese. This one simply has more switches. The back panel is identical. Probably made same Chinese factory. Sounds terrific

For the price... the Pod Go with some good IRs is still king. I don't like that the GP200 has less options for Amps and tweaking. I know that my Pod can and will adapt to every single PA or cab I have to run it through but the GP200 seems a little bit less versatile by just a smidgen.

Great Unit!!! Looks like a Mooer ge300 and sounds BRUTAL too!!!

Better than the nux mg30? What do you think?

Sounded wayyyy better after you reversed the hair vid clip. It's the literal 'guitar golden age' with all these great quality modellers for lawn-mowing prices. I have a POD HD500X and I don't see any reason to upgrade atm, but I'd like a cheap modeler to go portable to friends places etc as the studio monitors I have are somewhat planted and were so expensive I ain't taking them anywhere.

I had the original Valeton GP 100 and hated the reverbs to the point I sold it. I then had the Nux MG30 and loved it but found it a total fax to dial in a decent tone when playing through an frfr cab. The disparity between headphones and the frfr cab was night and day. In headphones the presets, amp's and Fx sounded great. Through my Headrush frfr I had to totally redial in the patch eq and volume wise. I spent more time doing this than playing. Both the frfr and the Nux were sold. If anything I might just go for the Pod Go and send the amp out to the send of my Fender Deluxe solid state amp and see how it goes.

From this demo, I would not consider this in the same category as the Pod Go when it comes to sound. This could cost 50 bucks and I’d still recommend the PG over it if you play live shows.

Great work with all the edits and review duder. Really makes me want to grab this instead of my mx5 lol. \m/

I like to see a comparsion with the Hotone Ampero. They seems to have the same AMP simulation so maybe is the same DSP.

This thing is amazing… my birthday is coming up soon and it’s on my list for computer 🖥️ recording… instead of playing through an amp all the time

This has potential, another guy A/Bed it against a real SLO and the way he had it dialed in I couldn't tell the difference

Hi Taylor. Just wondering which unit did you prefer, this or the Ampero 2 and is there much in it between them? Thanks

Sounds great !!! I'm impressed

Besides funtionality and options whatever, what sounds better? Imo i actually hear the valeton gp200 sounding better all around in vids and im a pod go owner

I wonder where's the guy asking for Nelson's riffs.

Yay! More Content!!!😎

‘ Bottom line , as an owner , this unit is ‘completely versatile’ !!!🥊🥊✨🎶🎭🌾🎈

It’s amazing how you can hear any differences. To me it all just sounds like metal, no offense

great content pal

Which do you prefer, valeton gp 200 or mooer ge 250?

How does this tack up on dsp and the ability to arrange effects in a way you like? From my understanding the pod go suffers some dsp limitations and I know for a fact that certain blocks are locked in place like the wah. I'm essentially deciding between this, the pod go, and the mx5 as a budget floor modeler for both live and recording use so I'd really appreciate info like that

Это до сих пор - лучший гитарный процессор за эту цену!

I just bought one of these in order some monitors and a Mackie 112 so I don't know much about digital but I'm learning

Going mick gordon with that pitch shifter 🤣

Dang! Glad I ran into this video. Been pulling my hair out trying to add and overdrive pedal into the FX loop of the Pod Go and the noise gate for some reason has no affect on the overdrive pedal and all I get is hiss. Works fine going into the input, but not the fx loop. And my Boss MS-3 has no problem doing that. And I need a good sounding backup with my preferred analog pedal so I'm gonna give the GP-200 a shot. Never even knew this unit existed. Thanks a bunch!

I definitely needed to drastically scoop the hell out of the mids and up the bass a lot on both the 10 band eq and global eq (bass on amp sim, not 10 band) and up the presence quite a bit. Also, i had to pinpoint a sharp zappiness in the lower treble frequencies and now it's really good. Still trying to get my noise gate perfected. Went with EVH amp and cab, going into my Peavey JSX.

Taylor Danley All you were doing is using the effects send and return on the katana head then to the mesa cab..? is that the routing if so do use use cab sim on or no cab on the pedal patch THANKS

Great demo, Taylor! I’m about to move so there’s a part of me that’s thinking about going down to a single amp with a floorboard like this. The other part of me doesn’t want to get rid of my Peavey XXL to find it, though, so there’s that. Haha

The next thing will be the improvements of the "Tone Capture" thing and made good studio algorithm like the Strymon Deco (something that Line 6 and Hotone are bringing more and more)... So for me, it's better to be still with my hacked Zoom G1Xon, a good od (I use also a pt2399 delay by ICA pedals and my OD are a 3-in 1 pedal with a LPB1 with a screaming bird that for it's just a HPF mod switch + Green Ringer + RAT) and before the digital I use the Electro Harmonix (2x high voltage 12ax7) Black-Finger to bring to life the sound. When Hotone or Line 6 bring something with tone capture for a good price I'll move from my Zoom (or maybe put the Zoom in the loop of these units cause the effects are very good).

Dat face on thumbnail is perfect

Taylor going full on Meshuga 11:30. HAHA.

Do you usually use the Katana head for powering amp modelers?

Im a novice user..and ..I am sold..killer for the price in my opinion!

Can you assign mod, rev, delay to the effects loop leaving dist and OD in front of the amp to run 4 cable?

Guitar is my second instrument. My god, I’m so behind the current guitar tech, I barely know what this stuff does. Think I’ll have to subscribe and find out.

that axe almost look like a scythe🔥

Damn now I wish I hadn't bought the Hotone Ampero lmao. This one costs just slightly more and seems like a better value overall. Would love to hear it in some comparison vids in the future though, with the Ampero, Pod Go and some others too.

So many floorboards, so little time!

I know that you ran it through the boss head power amp it would be great to see this rand off that power station from Seymour Duncan duncan or something along those lines that's just a dedicated power amp but has a little bit more EQ control on it

Would be nice to hear something clean sometime.

Hi dear Taylor Is the latecy worse than for example Zoom G6 or Line6 pod or Nux for example? Thanks Taylor =) ure the man =D

I notice you didn't include a demo of any clean settings this pedal has as a preset. Is this pedal even capable of a clean setting? This pedal may be great at balls to the wall high gain settings how ever I happen play a more diversified styles of music. In my opinion it is a more biased review.

If only it had snapshots or something similar. Sounds really good

Better than the waud corntex?

Pitch-shifting sounded pretty good with the knobs. Is it possible to control it with the expression pedal for Whammy-style pitch-shifting? Thanks!

did he say he wants more amp tweaking options to edit, and then say its hard to justify if the unit is more expensive than the pod go, the extra options aren't worth it? Also, did he ever talk about which one sounded better over different styles? Nope

Does it have seamless switching?

This is another modern wicked one, but lacking the competitive features like touch screen and you have no choice but to use a noise gate with it. I *despise noise gates!* I've designed my own distortion pedals from the ground up having a formal background in electrical/electronics engineering, and I can get absurdly high gain without any noise whatsoever and not using a noise gate. All the most recent batches of units from virtually every brand the last few years twists your arm and you need a noise gate. *I can definitely build something around every specific unit to overdrive it and eliminate the need of a noise gate, but in 2023-24 I shouldn't have to!* I would put this above the Line 6 gear all day long though, granted the Helix line is excellent, it's also ridiculously overpriced as most units are now. It's like things are getting better and worse at the same time. I've had something from everyone from Line 6 to Zoom to Headrush, and returned to the dinosaur Zoom G5 with it's 12AX7 at the end of the effects chain. That thing blows away everything that's come out in recent years. *It's become a situation where you're expected to be plugging these things into a $1500 or more tube amp, but the point of them in the first place is to be able to get that level of performance out of a budget amp and those days are now long gone!*

Glad I got the Headrush MX5!👍

Thomann is selling this unit at 309€ now that I checked. Still, all multi-fx units in the market are great. So great that choosing is very difficult.

When I try to do the detuning part it sounds horrible Like a detuned harmonizer I don't know what am I doing wrong...

I have to say for what it does and everything it hand everything it has to have a unit like this be the cost of 2 boss is boss wasa haddpetals is outstanding

Sounds killer man

Hi Taylor, Thanks for the presentation. As an old Death Metal shredder, the significant boss HM2 must of course be on board. I already have a few devices in my household, but the Boss HM2 is just never there. They load hundreds of amps on it and each one adds another 5 amps with the next firmware. But nobody has the significant HM2 with them. As a question in the round, is there any such board that has a reasonably acceptable HM2 in it? Except Kemper and AxeFX. Could they? cheers

Hello, I'm already watching your video and I still have not seen how this device reacts to switching between presets and channels. Is there a delay between switching from one channel to another. For me, this is the most important point. How can I get around the lack of a snapshot function on Valeton? I want to strum a chord on a clean sound with a flanger effect, and switch to an overdrive channel with flanger without delay, so that the chord and effect sound is not interrupted. Can this be done on Valeton, or not? It would be interesting to see such a comparison. It is very important! And this is not mentioned anywhere.

Did they provide a pre-release manual to you? I haven't found one online yet, and I am curious to know what the MIDI functionality includes. I assume it can change presets with PCs, and it can probably turn on/off blocks with CCs. But can you assign a CC to a parameter and send a CC to alter the parameter value (like in HX Stomp for example)? Any MIDI info would be appreciated.

Why does everyone always skip over the features of the expression pedal?

You can't play in two different cabinets anyway. it does not even reach line6 pod500.

How it works directly into PA through the mixer?

can record direct from usb?

Some of your faces leave me trying to decipher if it’s an “oooh that’s brutal af” or if it’s more of a “what the heck is that? Is that supposed to be tone???” 😂

Hi,i heard this unit had a latest updates..could u do a demo on how to update the unit..tanx🕺👌🎸

Nice review, but sorry that we don't have the same expantatians of music... Anyway I blelieve you like if and I also beleve that it will be useful for us who is just to trying to Rock out!

Good video/review

My buddy Will Noffsinger said hi

Haha Very nice how you did this video, man. 😂 It's Fun.

Valeton gp200 or headrush mx5?

Sounds really good tbh! Now… what guitar is this? It looks beyond sick!!

I currently own a Zoom G5N, is it worth selling mine and getting one of this Gp-200? Thanks

So how do you think this measures up against the hotone ampero?

Clean tones???????

Better than nux mg30?

I'm a line 6 owner through and through with the helix LT, hx stomp, hx effects, and the old school pod pro X rack, but my God does the Valeton whoops the pod go with those additional features I wish were on the pod go. Consider me an interested buyer!
