ped Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 After being severely disappointed with the Vox Amplug I thought this looked like a potentially better gadget. Rechargeable built in battery and aux in/phones out. I love reverb in bass so that’s handy to have built in. Will do a review when it arrives!

stewblack Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Any Valeton stuff I've had has been well made. The vulnerability with my Vox amplug was me. I trod on my own headphone cable and rather than just unplug it ripped the guts out of it. Edited September 1, 2020 by stewblack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ripped the guts out of it on purpose. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Any particular thing drew you to this one? I see they have one with 'Bass' written on it. Although I'm skeptical as to what real difference this makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm skeptical as to what real difference this makes. No difference apparently - this one is designed for anything with a 1/4" plug, and I'mm mostly use it with my WIngbass anyway. I just want to try it as it would be ideal to have something so small, and I really like having reverb on tap too. Hopefully the signal to noise ratio is better... and I guess the more people that try it the more likely it'll be that the product gets better and better. I'd love a really well made super hifi version by someone like PJB or Roland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the design itself will always be vulnerable to damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 It’s terrible. Distorts even with a passive bass on clean mode with gain in zero. Feels nicely made and so on but although there’s very little noise, as soon as you play a note it farts slightly and gets worse down the neck. I never send anything back but I think I might this time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
