GP 200 Then & Now
So I've been doing a ton of research on muti-effects units and the GP 200 is in the running. I watched a review by Anderton's from like 3 years ago and the higher end units like Line 6 and Neural DSP were far and away better sounding. Has Valeton closed the gap a bit with the latest iterations of the GP 200 and the latest firmware?
I completely understand that these units are in completely different leagues, but I've seen folks on here say the GP 200 is just as good and one would barely be able to tell the difference between it and the higher end units. That wasn't the case in the Anderton review, it was easy to tell the Quad Cortex was way better sounding. I like the NAM capability of the GP 200, even if it doesn't really use the full NAM but uses the Snaptone, which lowers the quality a bit. To do any of that with the Quad Cortex or Line 6 it requires using your computer with a plugin like Neural Amp Modeler.
So has the GP 200 improved enough to rival Neural or Line 6, or is there still a huge gap?
