Got the GP-100 from you guys a month ago and it's actually shocking how good it is for the price.
It takes some dialing in, but when you 've learned how to navigate, you don't even need the laptop software. I love it.

[Sea_Jay]

I have a GP-100. It's a no brainer. It's less than most individual pedals. I carry one arround as a backup in event everything goes south. On more than one occation I've have a fellow musician have something like a distortion pedal die on them and lent the GP100 to fill in for them. Also get a USB to 9V adapter to go with it anyou can run the thing off a USB power bank litterally all day without running out of power.

[damasterkarej]

I challenge you: 2x guitar on GP100, 1 bass on GP100, some drums, cheap mixer and some speakers and run digital band for a grand.

[RyanKorea]

I was going to buy the Quad Cortex for £1499 but you can get the GP-200 and that PRS SE Silver Sky for £798 and have £701 left over...

[arjanhurkmans]

I bought a GP200 to be away from my computer and have a quick jam. I love it! I've had way more expensive MFXs, but this one brings me joy, everytime.

[Rainyman]

I bought a used GP100 as a practice device. (Disclaimer: I play guitar for more than 40 years now and I’m an old school „pedals and tube amps“ guy - never really got into that digital stuff) After a few days I just HAD to buy the GP200. Both sound really good, are cheap, sturdy and take little time to learn how to use them. The GP200 has superior functionality, though. Real knobs to tweak the sound, better software, a larger screen, etc. Even if you never owned a programmable multiFX before, you‘ll get great sounds out of both in a minute. And if you are willing to invest more time to get into the depths of these multis, there is almost nothing you can’t do with them. They are so much fun that I totally got sucked down this rabbit hole, much to the chagrin of my bandmates. 😅

It is great with headphones too. A beginner won't need an amp. The interface on the unit is very logical and easy. I like that one can alter the patches and save/organize them while still keeping the factory preset patches. I am a low intermediate and I practice the same song over and over again... so by changing patches I can fight the boredom of repetition. Using a looper to just hear myself on playback is very helpful. Plus this teaches me what all of the different effects do.

[cliftongardner]

Real talk, I'm 20 seconds into the video and just that tone Pete was rocking at the beginning was enough to convince me on this little box...

[nieko]

Got the gp100 some weeks ago.
Ideal for noodling around at home.

[slooob]

I've had the GP 100 for more than a year now and i like it a lot. The factory presets need to adjusted to suit whatever you're playing it through to sound good, but its very easy to get great sound with minimal effort.
Highly recommend.

[kikivienna]

Just got the GP 200 about a week ago. Upgraded from Zoom G3X & G3XN. Super great. What’s nice about plug ins is as The Captain says, reamping. I like having clean if not dry guitar sound to capture my technique and have a 2nd channel with distortion. Otherwise going beyond a Crunch gets too muddy. I might get a splitter to keep some of the plain signal to add articulation. Love watching you guys. It’s like an upscale basement or garage hangout and jam. Paid to play semi-pro.

[t-tone]

On holiday I saw a band 4 nights in a row using the gp100 and a squier affinity starcaster and it sounded great.

[christopherguzzi]

Was just asked by a friend what to get for his first electric guitar setup. I recommended a Squier Affinity Stratocaster, Vox Pathfinder 10, and a Valeton GP100.

[MrSpeed-ltgr]

One of the other guitarists at my church uses the GP100 to go direct to PA with a Marshall patch. And dammit I wonder to myself why the hell do I use a Helix and expensive pedals 😳🎸

[adamhaze]

In answer to Pete’s question. About a week ago I retired a Line 6 HX effects and a Behringer 404hd and a mess of insert cables that I used to feed hardware synth and guitar to DAW. Now I have a Valeton GP200 - synth plugs in to aux-in and appears as usb audio and guitar to regular input and a single usb-c cable 👍 all plugged in to return of my Vox AV30

Main benefit is it all works previously if you turned on something in the wrong order and you spent 20 mins chasing connectivity issues.

Anyways that’s my experience for what it’s worth.

[randrothify]

I prefer pedals and amps but sometimes you just want something that you turn on and it just works. No fiddling with power supplies, having to add an additional pedal switcher or MIDI commands to sequence what is on and when, or remembering analogue settings for different specific sounds when more than one pedal is engaged. That’s what these units do. And you don’t need to use interfaces, plug-ins, DI boxes, etc. If anything, once you get past the initial screen-based interface, these are easier to use and coordinate with other gear. The only issue is that you might not like some of the sounds for certain notoriously difficult to nail effects like spring reverbs or fuzzes. In that case you can just the effects loops on these units to substitute in the exact desired effects from specific pedals. These Valeton units sound great, and not just for the money, and the expression pedal like the more expensive flagship units make them even more versatile.

[paulseabrook]

Someone may have done it already, but what I’d love in these units is a series of “sound like” IRs or patches! Imagine just being able to select your favourite artist tone from the menu.

[davidcane]

I have the 100, sat in my effects loop. It fills the gap whenever I fancy something other than reverb or delay AND I use it as volume control for the pedal board.

[OfJaggedRisings]

I bought my gp-200 because of your videos and it’s awesome! I love that thing. It seems intended for live use more than anything but it’s such a great home practice and writing tool as well. Very inspiring.

[buxycat]

This is the third video on this product I've scrubbed through and I've yet to see anyone using the expression pedal, which is the part of it that interests me the most.
