Valeton GP-5

Have to say I’m suitably impressed with this little pedal after playing with it this morning 👍
Just messed around with its default factory settings and enjoyed it going through my VOX AC 15 and Marshall 4 X12 .
I might actually buy the bigger version with the foot pedal ??

stock cabs sounds pretty good albeit they lack mic type/positions.
Not sure what is up with some amps (marshalls & some) they just sound too muddy and wooly for my taste. it was easily resolved with turning everything down and adding some pedals.
 
These are currently £50 on Amazon UK right now. I bought one yesterday with same day delivery and have been playing mine all day.

It's pretty decent, and great considering the price. I do find nam profiles to be a bit hit and miss in terms of volume, I think the Input volume needs a bit of tweaking as it feels too low for most of the profiles.

I really want to find some good profiles to put I through its paces as everything I've found on tone3000.com feels a bit weak and under gained.

Try @2dor's profiles - though Valeton is converting them to their own gimped neural network topology so don't expect a lot of fidelity to the original.

Thanks for the shout out :D!

I'm currently waiting for the JCM800 Modified pack to finish training - hopefully that's going to drop this weekend; crazy good for a single channel amp.

I'm currently trying some of your badlander patches and the volume on this thing is a bit of a pain. I seem to need to adjust the global input volume for every profile (not just yours, but ALL profiles) or they're under gained. Also the output volume of the profiles is a lot lower than the built in amp models. I have to use extreme patch volume settings to balance patches :/ I'm not convinced so far.

Use the Input Calibration feature and set the Output to Normalized.

If you click the Gear icon in the NAM plugin you'll see these options there.

I have a vid on how to use calibrated NAM profiles; the Badlander covers a lot of ground from clean to mean but if it's not gainy enough for you try the PRS MT100 or the BadCat Lynx packs. Or my Ceriatone Chupacabra and King Kong.

Thanks 2dor, that sounds great - so is it possible to export to normalise the profile, save and export it into other external hardware?

Yes. You can:

- load the NAM profile in the DAW
- render the NAM training file with the NAM profile of your choice & normalize to whatever loudness you need
- use Tone3000.com to train a new NAM profile which is suitable to your use-case
- download and rock!
 
...and now, this happened:

119 €. They added a looper (20 sec. only though), includes a rechargeable battery for about 4 hrs. of playtime and did some other nice upgrades.

edit: oops, sorry, there is already a thread covering this thing. Didn't saw it beforehand...
 
Just picked one up for £52 via eBay. At that price should be a handy little practice tool, better than tonex one due to Bluetooth control I guess.

Apologies for what is likely a dumb question but I'm new to NAM stuff. On your captures you have under model sone with a prefix of S-[Amp]. What does the S signify?

That's the Badlander pack I published 1 year ago.

I reamped everything with 2 reamp boxes (it was at the time when me and SlamminMofo were A/B-ing reamp boxes) and actually published 2 x Badlander packs :D :

- where you see a leading S = Signal Art reamp box was used
- where you see a leading L = Lehle P-Split III reamp box was used

That was the only pack I did this for since it was really a TON of work.

Hope this helps. That pack still holds its own but I've since redid everything for the Badlander using my real Mesa cab. 1 year ago I was only able to use the St.Rock React:IR2 loadbox (which is still the best imho) but now since living conditions changed, I can afford to blast a real cab & capture all that juicy amp <-> cab interaction in the profiles.

Really appreciate that, cheers. Have a gp5 on the way in and just starting to dip my toes into the NAM rabbit hole.

Which would you suggest to start with from yourself, I'm more to the clean and eob end of things. Have been using Tonex for a while but not NAM.
