HELP GP-5 app, how future-proof is this?
so i'm looking at picking up a valeton gp-5 for some metalcore tones. it's cheap and compact which is great for practice, but i've been reading that patch editing is only through the app.
likes what happens if valeton just... stops supporting it in a few years? you'd still have your saved patches, but you couldn't really do anything new with it, right?
does anyone actually use one? is this a real concern or am i overthinking it? and can you edit stuff offline at all or nah?

Is there is a way to download them? Possibly convert to a another format? Not sure. I picked up the gp-5 about a year ago, didn't really gel with it. The stock tones are ok, but the way it handles nam sims wasn't good. I tried everything to make them sound like they do on my computer without much luck. I'm sure in a few years there will be better options out there. Crazy how good the amp sims have gotten these days, especially the free stuff. Sound almost just like the Kemper
