October 12, 2022 · 2 sources

The Valeton GP-200LT is on sale, MusicRadar reported on October 12, 2022, describing it as "the slimmer follow-up to the GP-200"¹. Valeton calls it "the LITE version of the GP-200"².

The unit carries the GP-200's effects library, with 140+ amp, cabinet and acoustic models, over 100 stompbox effects and more than 240 effects in total, according to Valeton². It has 20 factory cab IR slots and storage for 20 user IRs, 256 patch slots (100 factory, 156 user), up to 11 movable modules in the effect chain running at once, a 180-second looper, 100 drum patterns and a built-in chromatic tuner². Audio conversion is 24-bit 44.1kHz².

The 4.3-inch TFT LCD runs a multi-language interface, and there are four customizable LED footswitches with three footswitch templates². Connections include a 1/4-inch TS instrument input, two balanced 1/4-inch TRS outputs, an unbalanced 1/4-inch FX loop, 1/8-inch headphone and aux inputs, 1/8-inch TRS MIDI in/out (thru) and two 1/4-inch TRS EXP/FS jacks². The USB Type-C audio interface works with Windows, Mac, iOS and Android, with 6-in 4-out audio supporting re-amp and loopback². The chassis is cast metal and a 9V DC power supply is included².

MusicRadar reported the GP-200LT at Andertons¹. Compared with the GP-200, it loses the built-in expression pedal, though an external one can be plugged in, and some footswitches¹. MusicRadar's Rob Laing wrote that "this thing is impressive in its own right"¹.

The GP-200LT joins the wider multi-effects pedals category.
