Compact modelling hub

The Valeton GP-50 is a multi-effects processor for electric guitars, designed for musicians who seek a portable, flexible, and modern all-in-one solution. Building on the more compact GP-5, this model features a built-in battery with a playing time of around four hours, as well as expanded connectivity options for MIDI and external controllers, which makes it equally suitable for practising on the go, use in a home studio, or on small stages. Sonically, the GP-50 is based on Valeton's latest HD modelling platforms and delivers an organic playing feel with impressively realistic sounds, while SnapTone technology provides the ability to import and use NAM files. When combined with features such as an IR loader, looper, drum machine, and Bluetooth app support, the pedal covers a wide range of applications, from silent practice with headphones to a complete and versatile performance setup.

Tweak, switch, save!

A comprehensive collection of more than 100 effects, covering everything from classic overdrives, delays, and modulations to detailed amplifier and cabinet simulations are at the core of the Valeton GP-50. Up to nine effects or modules can be run simultaneously, allowing complex and multi-layered signal chains to be created, while speaker simulation is handled by 20 IR memory slots that can be loaded with custom impulse responses. The unit is operated via a 1.77" colour display, complemented by three quick-access buttons and four function buttons, as well as two footswitches that can be assigned to change presets, turn effects on and off, or control specific functions, depending on the selected mode. A freely configurable footswitch system enables different switching logics for added flexibility, while presets can easily be edited and organised via a Bluetooth-connected app; the USB-C connection in turn handles audio, data transfer, and power.

Extensive connectivity

In spite of its compact dimensions of 82×122×54mm, the Valeton GP-50 provides a surprisingly wide range of connections, enabling it to adapt easily to a variety of setups. Alongside the instrument input, the GP-50 features balanced and unbalanced stereo outputs, a dedicated headphone output, and a USB-C port, while 3.5mm MIDI In and Thru ports mean the pedal can be seamlessly integrated into larger rigs or studio environments. A combined EXP and footswitch input accommodates an optional expression pedal or additional footswitches, making both real-time parameter control and more convenient preset changes possible. Power can be supplied via the built-in 1450mAh battery, USB, or an optional 9V power supply. Thanks to this flexibility, the Valeton GP-50 is equally suited to desktop use and mobile applications without the need for a traditional pedalboard.

Valeton GP-50, multi-effects pedal for electric guitar

For enthusiasts and players

The Valeton GP-50 is designed for guitarists seeking a versatile and easily transportable multi-effects unit that embraces modern features in a compact form. For practice, the device provides a high level of independence thanks to its headphone output, built-in drum machine, and rechargeable battery, while in the home studio the combination of USB audio, IR loader, and NAM compatibility stands out as a powerful creative package. On stage, its small footprint, MIDI connectivity, and freely assignable footswitches make it a practical and flexible choice, especially for players who enjoy experimenting and want to combine a wide range of sounds in a single device, whether as a main processor, a backup solution, or a compact tool for practice and recording.

About Valeton

Valeton is a Chinese company that, while still relatively new, has been developing products for other brands for a number of years and thus already possesses a significant wealth of experience. The company mainly specialises in the creation of a wide variety of guitar and bass effects and consistently takes its own distinctive and innovative approach. The main focus is to make equipment that combines high quality and affordability by using efficient production methods, and Valeton’s product range has recently been expanded to include small and practical devices such as headphones and desktop amplifiers, which are designed to help musicians in their day-to-day activities.

From headphones to the PA

The Valeton GP-50's versatility covers everything from mobile practice to a complete direct setup in a compact format. At home, it is perfect as a stand-alone practice solution with headphones, a drum machine, and an built-in looper, eliminating the need for a conventional amplifier. Combined with active monitors, an FRFR speaker, or an audio interface, the GP-50 becomes the central hub for home recording and silent sessions, while on small stages or in rehearsal rooms, users can connect it directly to a PA and deliver a powerful signal via its IR-supported amp and cabinet simulations. For larger rigs, the GP-50 can also be used as a flexible effects and modelling unit placed in front of an amplifier or in its effects loop, and thanks to its MIDI and expression ports, the unit can be easily integrated into hybrid setups that include additional controllers or software-based solutions.

No brainer

I don't see why you wouldn't own one of this. Sounds awesome, cost less than a dedicated analog pedal, and you have a full rig in a box, with looper and drum machine. AND you can load NAM captures. AND runs on batteries. The only gripe is like other users have mentioned, from the pedal interface one cannot select other drumkit than metronome, but I'm assuming this will be easily fixable with an update.
I have not tried the looper so I can't comment on that.

I was on the edge of buying the GP-5 just before this one got announced but I was concerned about depending yet another companion app, but I gotta say that the GP-50 has a well designed UI and everything is easily accessible from the onboard controls. Even if you use it as full rig on a box or multi-effect in the fx loop of an amp. Really good piece of gear.

I am assuming that the best complement for this little guy would be a Hotone Ampero II Press and a M-vave Chocolate so you can get expression pedal and extra footswitches and you still get a full rig for little less than 250 e, which seems crazy to me.

To chime on the sound quality, I have built a patch to mimic what I have with my SLO-mini and NeuralDSP SLO X, the controls are not exactly 1to1 but in the same ballpark and it sounds just as good! It's great to have options and this option is awesome!

Swiss Army knife, could be handy for every guitarist

First of all, I don’t consider this device as a professional gigging and recording tool. Compared to a Headrush Mx5 it’s obviously weaker but has some advantages that made me purchase it and I’m happy with my choice, totally recommend it everyone on every level! Here is why:
-super portable practice tool. Similar size of a regular Boss pedal, built in battery, looper, Bluetooth, etc… you can practice wherever you want.
-perfect backup. Most of us don’t have two of everything, if my Headrush would go down this thing can save the gig. Won’t be the same but good enough to continue. Probably the audience would not even notice..
-perfect tool for a beginner. Easy to set up, sounds good from out of the box. Very compatible device in its price range.
-effects. For this price it’s hard to beat it. Imagine you need a tremolo or something like that in only one song and a vibrato in another.., here you are, plug it into your chain and problem solved. Not to mention the tuner…

After a few days of having it, this is my first impression. I hope it’s helpful.

Exceptional!!!

GeorgeKaz 05.01.2026

This one is super. I originally bought the little brother, GP-5, which is awesome but when this came out I immediately got it. Stereo out, expression, midi, looper, on hardware chain editing and control... These are just a few of the new features. I need to say that I never thought I would use it without plugging it but yes it has a 1450mA battery and I use it all the time. Now we still have small issues like, we cannot use the nam and the cab IR at the same time. Of course, for the price, we don't even need to care as far as I am concerned cause this is not great at the price point but in general. Comparing to some of the big names, it has kind of a scooped, duller mids sound in similar loads. No matter, highly recommend. Not to mention you can get two and get two rig-stereo, automate it via midi and even use it as an interface.

exelent for what it is

I got this so I can practice in silence while using my pedalboard, and also to use it as a stand-in for other effects (phaser, delay, etc.). It sounds very good, although it doesn't like having distortion or hard overdrives in front of it. I have the VS Audio Royal Flush, and if I have both sides on (stacked overdrives), the GP-50 "farts"—though that might just be my headphones. The Tone Snaps are very good and sound quite "natural," but you can still tell it’s not the real thing (which is okay, considering you're only paying 120 Euro).

Side note: I might replace my Hall of Fame 2 and just use the reverb on the GP-50. The Hall of Fame sounds a little better if you really pay close attention, but while playing, you can't really tell the difference.
