Valeton Expands the GP Series with the New GP-150 and GP-180
Valeton has announced two new additions to its GP multi-effects lineup: the GP-150 and GP-180. Designed as next-generation tone workstations, both units combine advanced HD modeling, flexible routing, and modern connectivity in performance-ready floorboard formats.
At the core of both processors is Valeton’s updated second-generation HD digital modeling engine, delivering 24-bit/48kHz audio performance and a broad range of detailed amp and effects models. Players can run up to 12 simultaneous effect modules with freely adjustable signal chains, drawing from a library of more than 200 built-in effects covering amp simulations, drives, modulation, delays, reverbs, pitch effects, filters, and more.
A major highlight is the integration of SnapTone technology, which supports NAM (Neural Amp Modeler) files. This allows users to import highly detailed amp and pedal captures for ultra-realistic tones. Each unit comes loaded with 50 SnapTone presets and supports up to 100 in total, giving players access to boutique-style sounds and custom profiles within a compact processor.
Both models support third-party cabinet impulse responses, with space for up to 20 user IRs, alongside a 200-patch memory system that includes 100 factory presets. Built-in practice and creative tools include a drum machine with over 100 rhythm patterns and a looper offering up to 180 seconds of recording time, making the units equally suited for songwriting, rehearsal, and live use.
Connectivity is comprehensive. The GP-150 and GP-180 function as 6-in/4-out USB-C audio interfaces compatible with Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android devices for direct recording and streaming. Bluetooth capability enables wireless editing and preset management, while multiple outputs, headphone connectivity, and expression/footswitch inputs allow flexible routing for stage or studio environments.
GP-150: Portable Power
The GP-150 delivers the full feature set in a streamlined chassis equipped with two footswitches and an onboard expression pedal. A 2.4-inch color LCD provides clear navigation, and a built-in 3,000mAh rechargeable battery offers over six hours of operation per charge, making it ideal for mobile setups, rehearsals, and on-the-go sessions.
GP-180: Expanded Performance Control
The GP-180 builds on the same core platform but adds an extra footswitch and expanded front-panel controls for greater real-time command during live performance. Dual TRS jacks allow connection of additional expression pedals or external footswitches, and MIDI compatibility ensures seamless integration into more complex rigs.
With the GP-150 and GP-180, Valeton continues to push accessible modeling technology forward, delivering deep customization, modern features, and stage-ready reliability in two versatile formats.
