Hey G.K. that is one snazzy looking bass! Just for your info not that it really matters 'Thoman' is pronounced as 'Toe man' with a silent H ( I took Grade 13 German in high school lol). You sounded English a bit in there like me lol! Look forward to your playing review soon! 👍

What’s your opinion on the zoom b1x vs the zoom ms-60B+? The multistomp has the new phone app control but the b1 seems like it’d be quicker to use mid-song. I play mostly church stuff so I’m just trying to find something quick and easy to fill the role of tuner, compressor, and preamp.

Very nice looking bass 👍

At this point the Stage II is now also a Profiler .....

Great playing , great bas!

I got this one in Trans blue. And i’ve been very impressed with it! Great affordable shred guitar!

Hi. Can i ask about some bluesy sound? What about over drive and quality for the home practice and maybe for a little gig? I really care about blues sound as a real thing? And in your oppinion, are gp100 is really good for recording?

Hey bud! Someone just sent me this... I'm sorry it didn't do that great for you views-wise lol but I am happy to see it was an interesting enough topic for you to cover and react to. That rules! Thanks for sharing my views with your following! You ARE actually pronouncing the last name right (as far as I know anyway lol). I know it's a Swede last name but my immediate family came from Italy so I'm sure they pronounced it differently and now taking to english it's changed a bit more lol. enough of that! This video was recorded a long time ago and as we know now, they did close ALL the stores. Now they are IRONICALLY an Online Only store... I don't really know if they are trying to go after Sweetwater and Amazon or if they are just doing this until they sell all remaining stock and fulfill contract agreements... Loved your comments on my video, I see we see eye to eye on pretty much everything (having been in retail we know the struggle!) Keep it up man! Subbing to see where this journey takes you ! If you ever wanna chat, you can find me on my insta, same name (how creative lol) Cheers!

I've seen a couple of your B1 Four videos before. Now I've ordered and waiting for it to be delivered! Rewatching the videos again! Thank you!

Can we connect with direct amp

Thanks for the video! However, my English listening isn't pretty good. Could you tell me what DAW did you use in this video? Is it the Tonelib or the Guitarxxx something? Oh, by the way, you got a subs from me. Happy new year 2025.🎉

How to record with this?

does it's compressors, distortions, cabibets have knob "blend" for mixing with dry signal? like double track through one output

Can I do stage shows with this ?

Only reason to sign would be that mainstream still somehow thinks that it means something that you are signed, like you would be officially an artist now. That tought is changing, but record companies tries to keep it well alive and only plusses are IF you are a good source for them. They will buy you bots so you get to the meaningless lists from where.. these.. people who does not care get's their music. Also to radio/clubs which is big time tied to rob musicians. Radio especially. There is now zero play for an unknown new artists and they force hits by the radio. Then people think that say hip hop's bar is somewhere.. say Drake. Do not get that there is thousands of guys who could have done his job, he is (was) just the label made one mans boyband. Ok, with hiphop it's changing again to a better direction. Still an average consumer does not understand that the bar is somewhere on hip hop and writing with Lupe Fiasco, Black Tought, Aesop Rock etc. It's same with every genre really, even pop music. There is still this notion that someone got radio play because they are sooo gooood. So if signing, only doing minimum album deal of 1 or if having to 2 and knowing you are good for the debt. Then not renegotiating, you are known, take much safer loan with better interest from bank loan money and do the album by contacts developed/yourself having learned what needs to do so. It's also not like you Have To learn mix and master. You ofc can always just get a studio you like and vibe with their ideas about your music to collab with.

I understand what your saying, I think more artists need to be shown who can help promote, who can help distribute albums, how to make and distribute merch, how to manage tours all without record companies and record company producers. There are a ton of great bands that never make it even today and especially since 2014.

This is why BTS and their company are making the music industry so furious -- both here and in Korea -- and are refused radio spins and an honest shake in the west. It is why they have been pigeonholed as a silly little boyband with a "few" hits (despite their discography of over 400 collective songs ranging from rap to pop to R&B to ballads to latin pop to jazz and neosoul). They have never played the payola game (making each member and their CEO millionaires by preserving their money) and have gotten where they are through organic growth over a decade of grinding away and making their own way in an industry that wants the same old cookie cutter group. You will not find a more loyal fandom than theirs, even rivaling those sweet old Swifties. Since 2013, BTS has had a grassroots ground swell of success while preserving their integrity, and their fans will go to war with anyone who attempts to invade their private lives or attempt character assassination on any member. That loyalty fills stadiums around the world year after year. Way back when they debuted, their company was going bankrupt and they were told they would never succeed because they were not part of The Machine. But their music and ever-growing connection with fans forced the industry to finally give them a seat at the table, leading to their first Billboard Award in 2017 for Top Social Artist. Little did the industry expect BTS would quickly make their "best" artists look like chumps. Once they did, they set out to downplay and box them into a "boy band" category. Especially when they realized BTS's company and CEO could not be bought. Now, everyone for the past seven-eight years has been mimicking all the things BTS did to hit their global success, scrambling to be the next BTS (and failing spectacularly), all while failing to realize why they're so successful -- their authenticity, their focus on their own message and sound, their dedication, and being fearless in their song experimentation and mastery. Not to mention their humble approach to the industry, their loyalty to each other and their fans, and their refusal to bow down to the demands of The Machine. Their messages and album decisions have since become catchy sound clips and "concepts" for newer artists -- they are the trend to follow and create generic knockoffs from. A reality that is giving the impression that BTS is just like every other "kpop" band, when in fact, they are pioneers who have branched every which way collectively and with its seven members solo careers (they have all had solo work since the beginning). They blew the lid off kpop expectations and several acts are trying to replicate what they are -- writers, producers, underground rappers, vocalists, musicians, actors, and directors all in one explosive group. BTS has influenced everything from social media culture to the new trend of creating ongoing storylines within their music videos, short films, books, webtoons, and video games. By 2019, they were big enough they could make some throw-away English pop songs during lockdown and have them blow up the US market. And those are -- by far -- not their best songs. They only put them out while living in the limbo of their canceled world tour and planning to enlist in the military. They had always been known for their underground rap background, societal criticisms, and philanthropy long before they ever sang about butter or dynamite. They, and their company ( which is currently under fire by The Machine in the Korean payola scene), are the only thing giving me hope for music. I pray and pray more bands are able to bypass The Machine like them and hit it so big. Good guys can win sometimes.

I've had one for a couple of months and love it other than the expression pedal. Not so good

I believe it's a service you can buy but there are tons of out of control playlists new/random songs get added too

Unfortunately there are bot playlists that will just stream your music over and over my first song i released got added to one and it gave me 2000 views in a day. It can cause spotify to flag it and they can possibly remove your song.

I picked up one of these for $80 used without a power supply. Extremely satisfied with the purchase. Good review, and to my ears, lots of good sounds.

Thanks for the review. I thought my gp100 was defective when I was using the NR. Very disappointed when it causes the sustain to be cut specially when bending the string..

How it sounds compared to MS-60B? I had MS-60B and it produces an input distortion on a passive Jazz Bass. Some forums speaking that B1 Four is more boxy sounded comparing to MS60B

The thing with the Stomp, compared to any other compact modeller or profiler, is that it can be many things and do those things well. I agree with the Ampero Stomp being the closest competitor, another guitarist I play with has one and it does essentially the same thing while costing less without sounding cheaper (especially when IRs come into play), but the only thing it's missing is a "scene/snapshot" mode making it a bit harder to use as an all in one live solution in some cases

I love your review, sir. May i ask you a question? Which do you think is better squier bullet stratocaster or harley benton s-620?

That is a nice guitar ! Congrats! - I wanted the red version, but they have been sold out since the Spring of 2024.

Got one last October, made someods to it. Sanded the neck, stained 3 coats of Urethane. Swapped the electronics with a control panel from Amazon with fullsize pots and output jack. Love the bass. Tones are great for what it is..

this was fun. the first time I've seen someone doing a reaction video with one of ours. thanks!

traditionally for Zoom all factory presets are 100% shit?

I don't know, I hear a lot of distortion on every patch on low notes.. Maybe still the volume is set too high? (yes, I'm listening through a quality headphone..)

Ya zis is a very gud bass face, ya das is sehr guten! Great player and a great device! I'd love to find a cheaper Helix type pedal or another brand with rad and smoother distortions. These German dudes remind me of Mike Meyers on SNL years back YA SPROCKETS !" remember that? LOL! Great vid G.K 👍

Yeah...he loves that Bass tone, judging by the bass face. Haha...great point.

Have you tried using the valeton with just a guitar and a set of headphones?

No compressor????

I don't know how I feel about 8' speakers. I had a vox vd15 with the diamond grill a few years ago and it always sounded kinda buzzy. I play with a yamaha thr30 now and only has 3" speakers but they're nearfield speakers and I really like the distortion sounds i get from them but maybe i just like the modeling better in the yamaha, i also like the katana amps for their features and that they can be just a bit more saturated in gain than the orange, marshal, or fender, and i think they can also connect to a speaker cab which gives you alot of flexibility on scaling up or down the volume.

16:40 Cortex a little brighter .

Update , now Hotone has tone capture / profiling for lesser price and sound better in some model amps .

Does this unit have acoustic nylon sim? So that I can just use my electric guitar and sound like an acoustic nylon.

Am I not hearing the pedal rocking wah wah ala shaft? seems lame on valeton's part.

thanks for the detailed review, I'll check your others out. newbie to the GP-100 but, don't all the reverbs sound the same? i've been using a THR10c forever for reverb and various time based effects, was hoping this could cover it!

the thing with graphite is that it primarily works best in dry climates, if you live in Canada or another country which has drastic changes in humidity graphite will clump up, especially if you play outside occasionally.

Спасибо тебе борода! 👍

Does this need to ba ran through a separate amp? Or does it have its own amp and can be plugged into a speaker cabinet or be used with just headphones?

Thank you for these demo videos. I have just bought a Valeton gp 200 and so far have just tried the factory presets and put together 4 patches of my own, 3 clean, 1 distorted. The sensitivity in the adjustments is amazing and I am confident that I can get the tones I am after.

Hey man never did get your name, though not as experienced on guitar as yourself(drummer first) I have never seen or heard of that string wiggling method? wow! I use 'Big Bends Nut Sauce' on my Takamine acoustic and did on my Epi Les Paul BUT I had the nut filed better and rarely need it now. My Fazley Tele has a bone nut HUGE diff and reliable! How about you react to me playing with distortion and trying to control it LOL! 🤣

Next time work on the loop a little more, I think it would make you sound better over all. You sound good though.

the best multi efects pedals in the world for 300 ish bucks.

Thank you for reintroducing the dry tone, the "with", "without" provided a great base line (or bass line, lol) for understanding how this shapes tone and attack. Great review!
