r/Valeton

Hey all — I own a Valeton GP-5 and the one thing that always bugged me is that there's no way to back up your presets. One factory reset and everything's gone, and there's no official desktop app to organize your tones.

So I built one: GP Multi Editor. It connects over USB and lets you:

- Edit everything live (amp, cab, drive, delay, reverb — models, knobs, on/off, chain order), and it follows the pedal's footswitch back

- Back up all 100 presets to a single file

- Import/restore any patch in one click, 100% faithful (every parameter, bypass state, effect order)

- Share tones with other players as files

The editor is free. The full preset librarian (backup/organize/import) is a one-time unlock — no subscription. Works offline after a one-time activation. Windows only for now.

It's fully tested on the GP-5. The rest of the GP line (50/100/200) shares the same system but is experimental — the free version lets you check if it connects to your unit first.

Fully independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by the manufacturer. I made it because I wanted it.

Would love feedback from anyone with a GP pedal: gpmultieditor.tonscott.com.br

(Happy to answer questions and take feature requests.)

hey guys i think nam a2 files are now compatible with the valeton software and u can load em

I compared the sound to a pod express and I think this sounds even better. It’s cheaper, better build quality, usb c charging, great Bluetooth playback and editor. For 120$ this is simply an amazing deal.

Just as we (sensibly) predicted, this new software update brings NAM A2 conversion to SnapTone.

Would be good to know if it brings more reliable updating and transfers on Windows 11. I only have Windows 10 at the moment so I can't check until I get a Windows 11 VM set up.

No new firmware, use Firmware 1.8.0

Does the GP180 sound better than the GP50? I'm leaning towards the GP50 because I like the smaller portable size and don't care much about the extra buttons/screen.

I have always played DI-Bass, and had great results with it for jazz/funk/pop. However, now with the new NAM tech I am interested in getting a pedal to boost my bass sound a bit. The only effect I'd probably ever use is an autowah and I mainly want an amp sim.

I love the compact size of the GP-50 and I really don't need more but I have read that you can only load A1 feather, lite and nano files. Is that true?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I’m trying to run backing tracks for my band using MIDI-capable foot switches on my multi effects pedal (Valeton GP-200), which is capable of sending either CC or PC signals. I want to map foot-switches to play, stop, record, go to certain markers and perhaps control effects within logic down the line.

I set the foot-switches all to channel 1, cc3 (I read that this is a traditionally ”unused“ channel, data 0-7 respectively. I went into controller assignments, used the learn feature to map each function to one of the switches. It seemed to work! Then a few minutes later it didn’t anymore. I tried to delete the mappings and redo them and it still didn’t work. The correct midi code would still show up next to the timecode when I pressed the footswitch, but it wouldn’t execute the command. I tried to reset the midi drivers and remap again. Same issue, it worked for a bit, then just stopped.

Any ideas?

Sonicake Pocket Master just has A2 support come out. Shocked they did it before the Valeton release but this should mean we are at most a day or two away for the first releases for Valeton.

I purchased the GP-5 to be a practice tool at home, where I cannot have the volume of a real amp. I've been underwhelmed by the sound but I now think that has more to do with the headphones I'm using (Grado SR-80s) than the GP-5. I have to crank it until it's too loud to get anything meaningful out of it and it's still muffled sounding.

So, has anyone had very good experiences with pairing a headphone to the GP-5?
