Looks good, is it the same thing with a battery and controls (and a built in drum machine)?

 

Looks like the GP-100 without the expression pedal and, interestingly, on sale for a tad more than the GP-100!

Apparently yes. Same bit rate/quality etc, although a slight increase in dynamic range i believe.

Ive been eyeing up the GP-100 for a while, but i don’t want anything that has an expression pedal making it larger. The GP-50 looks ideal. I use my GP-5 all the time now, but do sometimes wish i could make small tweaks on the fly without needing my phone.

Out of curiosity, which bass amp/cab you use in the GP-5? What do you connect that to - DAI or amp?

Basically, I just watched the video below. It's pretty straightforward to follow (it's good to have an understanding of MIDI implementation first but not essential) and it doesn't take too long.

 

Make sure you check out the MIDI implementation in the back of the Valeton manual so you can assign the correct CC / PC number to the chocolate depending on what you want the pedal to do. I have my 2 most commonly used patched on the first 2 buttons and then patch up and down on buttons 3 and 4. I also set up some additional patches on a 2nd bank which is easy to do.

 

 

 

Ha this is the frontman/guitarist in one of the bands I play in 😁
