Having difficulty choosing? Kemper vs Valeton GP200 vs Boss IR2 vs Tonex - Digital Amp Shootout.
My thoughts on these different amps playing a hard rock rhythm guitar part.
Has the Kemper had its day? Just HOW good is the brand new BOSS IR2?

Jeff's classic album from 1978 had the iconic 'Ulla' sound... I'm recreating it using a Heil Talk Box - Valteon GP-200 and a Musicman Silhouette 'Silver Sparkle' Guitar. It's quite tricky to get the sounds just right... what do you think... did I nail it?

Amazing job Paul, thank you for the video, greetings from Spain. I bought the Valeton gp200R few days ago and Im trying to learn how to create my own presets for my band (funk, soul, rock)
You do such a good job at explaining the little details. Thanks for this 👍🏼 I’ve had so many modellers over the years and reverted back to amps and pedals but the way you talk about this makes me really curious to give it another go.
Always great when there's a longer term owner review after initial one, thank you for putting this together mate 👍
Really enjoyed your 70s track man. Your videos contributed to me to purchasing a valeton gp200 😊 Keep up good work... God bless... Jake
Down and COF !? Brilliant, you must have some great stories. Thank you for professional review. If you wouldn't mind answering one question, I'm a bit noob on this topic. Do I need further amplification after GP200, like powered speakers or amp head?
I need one
Any chance you could review the mooer ge300? Pretty please?
since you’re a uk producer , do you know Gary Kemp ?
I bought mine yesterday, thank you for the tips❤️🎸
I have a pod hd500x but been looking at these do they have a better sound quality? I use presonus as well and i cant get it not to sound digital and more like a natural amp
I would like to drop a very big fat cat amongst the pigeons and this is the thing… There are so many multi FX processor reviews shoot outs and those unboxing things to help us not choose where to put our cash and yes this is one of the very well presented ones but… this thing, they all seem to completely leave out the effects ? Yes unbelievable isn’t it multi Effects are what these units are called but I cannot find any reviews that touch on the subject of the FX in any detail it’s always straight in about the Amp modelling, or am I wrong. I am sure I am not the only player who is into making weird sounds with unusual fx pedals Ring modulation filters resonators etc. And the crazy thing is most of the store specifications all seem to have the same shyness only to give you the briefest, this unit has Sixty or 300 FX no hint of what they actually are? Maybe it’s me but it just seems very odd indeed and is why I can not choose between a Valeton Nux Lawn Mooer zoom or a Harley Davidson to get me where I want to be. In a nutshell they all seem to have plenty of FX but who knows what processors fx are better than another
I know where you are coming from. I think the thing is, it is a given now that ALL of these units have absolutely amazing FX. I focus on the sound, because that is the CORE for me. I know that if I want to space out by putting loads of Delay and Reverb on there, it's going to sound great. I'm not wanting for anything. I have a choice of loads of different Wah's, whereas in the past, I'd just bung my Jim Dunlop in my chain to an amp. There is Flanging galore, Chorus, Pitch and so on. If there is something really specific that you want, for example, a Whammy type of thing, you can still put your external pedal in the loop. Unless I'm doing something specifically etherial, I am recording the amp ONLY (possibly with graphic etc) and make reverb and delay choices when I mix. Live, I tend to only tickle delay and reverb... or not at all. I may consider doing a video about FX if people think it's useful. I'm just not sure that it would be very interesting... Maybe I'm wrong.
Boss and Kemper
It's great that there's something for everyone
I’m about to the pull the trigger on a Valeton gp200. This video reaffirms my decision to get one.great video and shows the valeton is a great bit of kit. For playing live I could just do with some advice. I currently have tonemaster deluxe reverb. No effects loop. So am I right in thinking I’m better off with an frfr than sticking through the clean Chanel on the tonemaster. And if so would you go headmaster laney or something else for and frfr. 450 budget. New subscriber right here. 👍👍
Yes - you need a FRFR cab, or even a small P.A. system. I am thinking about doing a video about this! I have a Freidman FRFR cab and it is absolutely brilliant, but heavy as fk!
i have a helix LT, and the other guitarist in my band has valenton gp 200. But the thing is, I am able to dial in very very good tones in my helix and I don't think I will ever use anything else
I'm a firm believer that "If it ain't broke - don't fix it". Just make great music!
Loved the authentic 70s vibe Paul. I'm definitely downloading that tone and gonna have fun!. Thank you.
Thank you - it was a lot of fun doing this one.
I’ve ordered one on the back of this vid! Cheers from Blackpool
I am confident that you won't be disappointed! ... You must have it by now. What do you think?
Great voice!
Thank you SO much. It means a lot!
Really useful...cheers
Sometimes the little things are the most useful!
You can upgrade the Valeton sound with some good IRs. It will make it sound much, much better.
Agreed - I use Ownhammer.
Got it last week and played through it on the same evening, just using the 1st stock 4 presets at a bar and was impressed with how it sounded. Still got the Vox tonelabs & nux mg 30 and they're useful for recording. But for the variety of tones and ease of programming the presets the Valeton is incredible. Still gotta figure out the looper though.
I've had quite a few mentions about the looper, but I never use that. Maybe I should!
@@PaulBondMusic Likewise...just been configuring presets. The drum machine has been pretty good so far. Subscribed to your channel.
The kemper was set to plexi and screamer Perhaps you could use the same settings on the valeton
As I said, it wasn't a very scientific video... just similar sounds.
Did you add an ir to the end of your signal chain or the valeton? If you didn't is it possible that's why it seems a bit thin?
This was STOCK IR's on purpose. I do use Ownhammer and there's some great ones!
I'm having such a hard time making a good metal tone with the Valeton. Can you please do a tutorial for some moder metal sounds?
Yes - I've had a few requests for this. I'm not really a metal player, so you'll have to forgive my chops when I eventually get around to it!
Holy moly you're an awesome artist, I'm going to sub right now!!
Thank you SO much! I can't tell you what this means to me.
This was an amazing job! Thank you for sharing! My opinion about the pedals is Tonex sounds terrific and second Valeton!
It's great that there is something for everyone.
Got the same presonus Studiolive 24 series III in my humble studio too! Love it!
I use it exclusively as a controller for my DAW. I use Studio One (also Presonus) and it works fantastically well.
it feels good in the mix, Valeton gp200
They are all useable. We have great choices these days.
Bought this unit today because of you and I LOVE IT! It is soo easy to use!
Ahhh nice one. I wish Valeton would give me a bloody sponsorship deal! They owe me 😜
Nice song man! 🔥🔥🔥 Voice great also!
Thank you so much - it means a lot to me.
Would you still recommend this pedal in comparison to some of the others on the market? Cheers Jacob
I honestly would. There are other options, such as the more compact Boss pedal, but for the money, I still don't think this can be beaten for features and importantly: ease of use!
That was awesome! Great tune! Rock on!
Thank you SO much
I just bought this unit because of your video…Great Demo here👍🎸🤘
Nice one - I STILL use it on professional recordings!
I’ve watched tons of vids on different multi effects units. You absolutely do a better job explaining and describing the way the units work. Also how to actually use the units. After watching the vids that you have done on the Valeton, I’m sold. Have one on the way. Keep up the awesome work.
I hope you're getting on well with it! I still use mine daily!
really helpful, thanks a lot!
Glad to be of service.
Does this have a tuner, and is it accurate?
Yes it does it’s pretty accurate just make sure you don’t accidentally change its frequency from 440
@@tonydawson7 Thanks Tony. I'm really leaning towards buying this unit, but I don't want to have to get a tuner pedal and spending another $100 on top of this. And I asked because another reviewer said the tuner was garbage. Thank you for the input!
I can't imagine WHY anyone would describe it as garbage! It's not let me down before, live or studio. I'm slightly confused TBH what they didn't like about it.
Fantastic video, well played sir! Loved the track, keep them coming👍
Thank you so much. I need to do another. Not enough hours in the day!
*ULLA*
On tour next year!
Looking at getting one of these because I'm tired of using luck of the draw Kemper/Helix in a big worship gig. And I'm probably going to get one. BUT, you played in Wayne's War of the Worlds tours !!! Gotta be one of my favorite albums. Thanks for that, too !!
Did you end up getting one? I still use mine almost every day... and it WILL be on The War Of The Worlds tour next year. Ulllllllllaaaaaaaaah
I am not sure about that setup. By the time the signal has got through the volume pedal, the slicer and the shifter, it's been through two or three buffers, which is going to have an accumulating influence on the sound. Some buffers improve can sound quality, but plenty of others are known to suck tone and/or be noisy. Probably better to re-amp or run into a good looper and record each unit separately. That will take longer, but the results will not be coloured by all those buffers.
Yes - I get what you're saying, but as I said, it wasn't a particularly scientific setup. The impact on the tone would be negligible, and I have NEVER liked re-amping. Just my opinion, but that would probably be worse. Looping would have been a good call!
After one year struggle with GX100 I finally ditched it. Will go for this one next.
You can't go wrong!
Bro said cradle down and trivium earned my trust immediately
Ha ha... I could tell you some stories....!!!!!
Kemper > Tonex > Boss > Valeton
So many people rate them differently. The take away is that we have some GREAT choices these days.
That was great!
Thank you so much. This one was a lot of fun.
Great and honest comparison. I am a bit surprised that you value the sound of the GP200 so much. The GP200 might be decent given it's price point but IMO the amp sounds of both capturing devices (Kemper and Tonex) are clearly ahead of it in your video. And given all the variables you could change (Models, IRs,EQ, ...) they could sound even better. BTW I am a bit shocked how bad the BossIR2 sounds in this test. I am using a Helix quite for a while and a I bought a Tonex for testing. Can't find so much difference in the amp sounds. But I must say that I am very impressed how Line6 managed to develop the Helix further with all their cost free software updates over quite a long time now. I am not trusting yet Valeton in this area.
So, on this video, I rated the Valeton 3rd out of 4 If I had the inclination, I could alter I.R.'s and drill down eq and so on, to match them more evenly, but for this song, I just vibed to the Kemper more. As stated, it wasn't a scientific video. More real world. Most people don't want to have to get geeky about their tone. I own all of these units. I have NOT been sponsored at all, and I STILL tend to use the Valeton on a daily basis. I still believe that at this price point, it can't be beaten.
@@PaulBondMusicCould you use the Tonex in the Valeton FX loop and use Tonex for the amp and Valeton for the FX? I have a Tonex One and am trying to figure out what FX unit to pair it with.
Very nice man, well done. Thank you for sharing your gift and generosity to the youtube guitar community. Greetings from the U.A.E.
