I’m looking for some people to beta-test some upcoming GP-200 firmware mods. I’m especially interested in anyone with a Chinese-region/Chinese-locked GP-200, I have been working on an unlocking mod. That said, all GP-200 owners are welcome! The more different units/configurations we can test, the better.

You’ll need to be comfortable testing unofficial firmware, following instructions carefully, and reporting anything that doesn’t work as expected. Bugs and the occasional need to revert to stock firmware are possible.

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.)

Hi everyone,

I’m using a Valeton GP-200 connected to a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen, and I want to create a dedicated GP-200 preset for using amp plugins in Reaper (Neural DSP, AmpliTube, etc.).

What I want is not to use the Scarlett's LINE input. I want to keep the Scarlett set to INST, just as if my guitar were plugged directly into it.

The idea is to create a preset on the GP-200 called something like “PLUGIN / DI”. When I select that preset, I want the GP-200 to output a signal that is as close as possible to:

Guitar → Scarlett INST

but with the GP-200 in between:

Guitar → GP-200 → Scarlett INST

Basically, I want to configure the GP-200 so that its output level and signal are appropriate for the Scarlett's instrument input, without adding any amp, cab, EQ, effects, etc.

Then I could simply select the “PLUGIN / DI” preset on the GP-200 and use any amp plugin, without having to change cables or adjust the Scarlett's gain every time.

Has anyone done this with the GP-200? What settings/output level do you use to get the closest possible result to plugging the guitar directly into the Scarlett's INST input?

I’m particularly interested in gain staging and output level, and whether there are any GP-200 settings that could affect the impedance/feel/tone compared with plugging the guitar directly into the Scarlett.

Thanks!

Falando apenas em timbre, a ampero é tão superior a valeton assim? Vale a pena gastar quase 2 mil reais a mais nessa diferença de som? Tem a ampero II stomp, que é quase mil reais mais cara que a valeton, porém os 3 footswichs dificulta bastante tocar ao vivo.

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

That snaptone conversion, although I'm pretty sure the gp200 is hardware-wise the equivalent of a potato, is a step back from the great product the gp200 was before entering the NAM territory. What are your opinions? Just bought it 1 month ago (refunding period expired) and disappointment is growing in me.

Hi everyone!!

I've had my Valeton GP-200LT up for sale for a while because I was planning to sell it and put the money towards a new guitar. In the end, I haven't liked any of the offers I've received, and deep down I think I can actually get a lot more out of this pedalboard. I guess the only thing I really need to do is experiment with it more and stop obsessing over getting the "perfect tone."

I'd also like to ask you guys what you think the future looks like for this unit. Do you think Valeton might release a major update at some point, maybe something that would allow us to load NAMs from Tone3000 or other platforms more easily? And, most importantly, do you think they might ever fix the problems with Windows 11?

Anyway, I'm going to give it another chance because I think the problem is probably me, not the pedalboard 😂. I really want to learn how to build presets properly. Do you guys know of any good free presets, maybe some Guns N' Roses presets, that I could download and reverse-engineer to understand how they were built?

Thanks everyone!

P.S. I guess I'll have to sell my dog if I want to afford a new guitar now hahaha.

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?

It requires a DC 9v 1000 mA connection, but I can't find any multi output power supplies that have an output over 500 mA
