Valeton GP-5 Multi-FX, AMP & IR Loader Mini Pedal

Valeton’s GP-5 takes their affordable multi-FX line-up in their most compact direction yet. This nifty little single-footswitch pedal is designed as an all-in-one FX unit, as well as a ‘Neural Amp Modelling (NAM)’ or IR loader. Select & customize your own effects, choose a NAM preset or load in your own impulse responses, and hook it up to any rig with simple connectivity & wireless editing. You couldn’t ask for more tonal functionality out of a pedal the size of a chocolate bar!

What is Neural Amp Modeler (NAM)?

NAM is an open-source project that uses deep learning to create models of guitar amplifiers and pedals with state-of-the-art accuracy.

Key features

• Ultra-compact multi-FX – Choose from a list 100 high-quality FX and arrange up to 9 simultaneously for your own custom chain.
• Easy NAM & IR loading – Pick a new rig in seconds with Valeton’s selection of 50 NAM files, and load in your own impulse responses for a fully custom portable setup. 
• Customizable footswitch – Worried about having a single footswitch? Don’t fret – choose between patch switching or individual FX bypass.

Here’s what Valeton say:

As a multi-effects processor, the GP-5 boasts a maximum capacity of 9 effect modules, some of which can be moved sequentially. It offers over 100 organic effects based on HD digital modelling technology. As a Neural Amp Modelling (NAM)/Cabinet IR loader, the GP-5 supports storing up to 20 third-party cabinet IR files, and is equipped with latest NAM technology. The GP-5 comes with 50 meticulously selected cloning files and supports storing up to 80 NAM files. Thanks to its compact stomp design, you can easily Integrate the GP-5 onto your pedalboard. Whether used as a NAM/IR loader or harnessing its rich selection of built-in effects in combination with other pedals, the GP-5 smoothly blends into your setup.

Despite adopting the classic single-footswitch mini pedal specification, the GP-5 makes no compromises in terms of operational experience. Equipped with customizable footswitch, it enables versatile patch switching methods, or controlling the on/off of individual or multiple effects. Coupled with its colour LCD display, it perfectly adapts to various stage scenarios. Moreover, the GP-5 also built-in BT wireless function and comes with a mobile app for seamless wireless editing and management of your tones.
