While I wait patiently for Peavey to release their Nashville 400 Preamp Pedal, I am playing with my GP-5. I just cant seem to dial it in. I was wondering if anyone else is using the GP-5 and what settings are you using?
Thanks!

Re: Valeton GP-5 Settings
Hey Keith! I’m getting great tones out of it… The twin is cool. The super clean is also good. Also been having a lot of fun with the more out there presets. Start by plugging your headphones directly into the output of the pedal. If you are running through another preamp things can get weird. I also run a boost pedal in front of the gp5 for more volume and a fatter tone.

Re: Valeton GP-5 Settings
I doubt this will work for you lol, but this is a preset I just made for a kind of early 60's Hawaiian clean sound. Thinking of Duke Komoku (Earnest Tavares) My pickups on my steel are wound more like a guitar pickup. I didn't spend a lot of time with it, but it sounded pretty good right out of the gate.
Dark Twin Amp and Dark Twin Cab. gain 18 volume 78 mid 79 treble 38. GP-5 vol 3/4 guitar vol 10 guitar tone 8. For Fender sounds I tend to boost the mids, but some like more mid scoop.
I have a bunch of other settings for guitar with the Eagle? amp for heavier tones kind of a sassy rockabilly sound. I use a little delay and reverb and the Green tube screamer for added grit/boost. I really don't like a lot of effects. I like The Jazz Chorus for clean presets for guitar and steel. I haven't found much in the way of edge of breakup from the amps alone, and usually use the tube screamer for that. The Tweed is just OK, can get the clean tele sound a bit through that, you can also get a bit of the Tweed tone from the higher gain amps at lower gain settings. All in all there are many useable tones in this $65 dollar device, and it is wireless when you plug it into your phone. The really nice thing is this eliminates the wall grounding buzz issues and it is very quiet even dead quiet with humbuckers. The trick is to find a few that are good and just play music, not spend all day twisting virtual knobs.
