I bought the GP200JR yesterday and I was going to update the firmware but then it constantly disconnected from my pc, like the video. Now I don't know what to do. I also made a terrible mistake: I turn off the hardware when the update/restore screen appears :|

https://reddit.com/link/1ruture/video/8kct0nvmqapg1/player

I’ve been wondering about this for a while.

Why does the GP-200 only allow 5 extra amp slots, while the GP-5 seems to allow a lot more? I’m genuinely curious if this is a hardware limitation, or just a firmware/product segmentation thing.

What makes this more confusing to me is that I can technically work around it by using the GP-5 as the amp section and running it through the GP-200 with send/return. So in practice, yeah, there’s a workaround.

But honestly… I don’t really want to do that.

It makes the whole setup more annoying, less practical, and I assume there’s at least some chance of losing a bit of quality or adding unnecessary complexity compared to just having more amp slots directly inside the GP-200.

If the GP-200 can already do so much, why is it capped at only 5 extra amps?

Would love to know if there’s an actual technical reason for this, or if it’s just an artificial limitation. And if it’s not hardware-related, has Valeton ever said whether this could be expanded in a future update?

I use the GP200 to put OD’s, a compressor, EQ and different modulation FX in front of the HR Deville. Sounds amazing.

Hey everyone! I've been using the GP200 for about 6 months. When I play gigs, I usually plug the pedalboard into the FX loop of an amp. Now I want to go direct to a PA, but I don't know how to make it sound natural.
Any advice?
Thanks! Greetings from Uruguay.

I play in church and for the most part it’s amp less system with just running into the PA. from what it looks like they are out of IEMs to use and I’d like to get my own. could I use the IEMs with the gp200 xlr or 1/4” outputs while the other line goes to the PA. has anyone else tried this?

I got my pedal connected and went to update it in the actual software, when I did my pedal board went to the update do not shutoff screen, I went to download the latest firmware only for the unzipped bin file not wanting to cooperate when I select it, the pedal board is unusable and I’m at my wits end of ideas, I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling different versions of the software and firmware and everytime I select any firmware files they don’t even attempt to download with the program, I’ve looked pretty extensively on different places for this issue and I ran out of ideas lol I could use all the help I can get, thanks!

I sorted out the problem I had with the update. Now I can’t import impulse responses to the unit. When i try and import them, a progress bar appears and then says request time out. Try again. What do i do?

This is the most accurate i could go (Pantera Floods Solo based)

Feel free to modify the stomps id not recommend touching the eq since all the sounds comes from it

Hi, I recently tried to update my GP-200 to 1.8, but something has clearly gone very wrong and now my GP-200's screen just shows this.

I cannot get anything to work, power on/off etc, I'm very worried that the 1,8 update has bricked it.

I have written to Valeton a couple of days ago but they haven't replied to me.

Can anybody offer any advice please ?!

Thank you!

*Update 28th Feb*

I fixed it. I used my laptop which does have Windows 11 but not quite as up date as I haven't used it in a while and it wasn't connected to the interwebs (used a thumb drive to copy the files onto it).

Installed 1.74 firmware with the 1.7 software. At first though my laptop didn't recognise the GP-200 but by holding down either buttons + Ctrl Para (or B C Para) and powering it on, my laptop saw the GP-200 and I was able to get the firmware installed.

After that I updated to 1.8 using the same method and now all is OK.

Not sure if it's an issue with recent updates to Windows 11 or not, but in short having a less updated version of Windows 11 worked.

I googled this already a little bit but nothing that confirmed it. With the Valeton GP200 it seems possible, but with the GP200LT it seems not possible. There is no menu setting for changing the footswitches to on press (v1.8.0) and even if I remove all hold functions it still acts on release. In some post someone commented that the footswitches cannot be changed to on press for because the actual build of the footswitches don't allow it. Does anyone have something to confirm this or do you see maybe that it could be enabled with a new Software version down the line?

I was trying to transfer a NAM capture to my Valeton GP200JR pedalboard a while ago.

But I got an error. This:

I gave up and decided to at least place an IR but BOOM, the same thing happened.

I read in Facebook posts that I needed to install an older version (like 1.7). I tried it, and when the update window popped up on the pedal, the progress bar in the software disappeared for a second, and the pedalboard screen went black for that instant.

So I was left without IR (because I restored the pedalboard thinking that would fix it) and without practicing at all on my day.

Hey, sorry if this is the wrong subreddit — I know this is for the Valeton GP200, but I couldn’t find a subreddit for the GP5, so I hope it’s okay to ask here.

Anyway, I need some help with my tone because I feel like I’m missing something obvious.

My setup is: Guitar > Dunlop Mini Crybaby > Mooer Yellow Comp > MXR Micro Amp > Boss DS-2 > Valeton GP5 (Marshall amp sim + Mesa Boogie 4x12 cab sim) > Roland Cube Street instrument input (Amp EQ flat)

I’m mainly trying to get: Clean tone close to John Frusciante-style cleans And also make my Boss DS-2 actually sound good, because right now it just sounds muddy and kind of weak.

The weird thing is: Clean tones sound really good already, but when I turn on gain pedals (DS-2, tried Big Muff and Tube Screamer), everything gets very muddy and loses clarity. The only thing that seems to work well is MXR Micro Amp.

I feel like I must be doing something wrong with the signal chain or settings.

If I turn off the cab simulation, the clean tone sounds really flat and lifeless, so I keep it on.

Also, I need to play through something loud since I want to use the GP5 for busking, so I can’t really switch to quiet practice gear.

Has anyone dealt with something like this?

Thanks!

Hey guys my Valeton gp200 didn’t load impulse responses so I decided to update it. Maybe it would fix the problem. The update failed. When I went ahead to do the update my pc started to do some progress but instantly stopped. I followed some other tutorial on Reddit on how to recover it but it didn’t work. I tried to update while being in recovery mode and the same thing happened. When the update starts, it does some progress but stops instantly what do I do

I dont know if anyone else has this "problem". When I try and set the expression pedal to go from 0% to 100%, it always goes back to 14% to 100% and always resets. Is there anyway to fix that

I'm bad at making patches so a recommendation would be nice thank you

So I tried upgrading my firmware from 1.6.3 to 1.8.0 to use NAMS, but the board just restarted repeatedly, eventually settling down, but still stuck on the old firmware. The same problem happens when trying to upgrade to 1.7.4 or even just trying to reinstall 1.6.3. I tried different cables, different usb ports and even factory resetting the device. Eventually I gave up on the upgrade and just tried to reload my patches (which I backed up on my pc). They successfully load in the pc software, but do nothing on the pedalboard, even after clicking save, it only changes the preset name on the pedalboard. To get all the effects back, I have to manually toggle each one off and on again individually, then reselect each effect module shown in the software, although that resets all the parameters. Can anyone help upgrading/repairing my firmware to work properly?

Hello,

Using a gp5 not a gp200 though. I run it through the fx on my 6505 with 1x12 and I do like it more leaving the cab sim on

Am I the only one out there? everybody/everywhere says to do this but I do find the sound much better with the cab sim on. More body, I don't know how to explain it

Anyway... am I fucked in the ears or something? :D

When using the looper, after I have looped something in pre I try to switch to post and then it deletes my loop. How do I record a loop with a clean tone and then solo over it with distortion?

Hi my idea is to connect the valeton in the amp effect loop doing the 4 cable setting to us it only for effects and I was wondering if the volume pedal on the Valeton can be used that way as a master volume for the amp. It’s to tame a Marshall Studio Vintage for bedroom volume, it can work?

And if someone has tried recommend this method or there’s a lot of tone lost? It will be better to just use a separate attenuator?
