About This Item
Description
Want to build layered loops without a laptop? The VLP-200 gives you two independent loop tracks, a 24-bit recording engine and a built-in drum machine, controlled with just 2 footswitches.
Why looping guitarists and bassists choose the VLP-200
- Two independent LOOP tracks (LOOP 1, LOOP 2) let you build and layer parts instead of a single mono loop.
- Up to 4 minutes per loop and roughly 7 hours of total storage across 99 projects means you rarely run out of room.
- A built-in drum machine with sync quantization keeps loops locked to a beat without a separate drum pedal.
- 1/8in TRS MIDI IN/OUT lets it sync with other MIDI-capable gear on your board.
VLP-400 vs VLP-200
The VLP-400 is the larger 4-switch flagship with 32-bit recording, double the storage time, assignable loop effects and a dedicated drum footswitch. The VLP-200 here keeps the same dual-looper concept in a smaller two-switch, 24-bit unit with 1/8in TRS MIDI.
Controls and footswitches
- 2 footswitches: LOOP 1, LOOP 2.
- 24-bit / 48kHz recording, WAV 24-bit.
- Integer-multiple overdub doubling and auto-record; no assignable loop effects.
Power and compatibility
2 x 1/4in TS inputs with an INST/MIC toggle on INPUT L; 1/8in TRS MIDI IN/OUT.

FAQ
How many loop tracks does the VLP-200 have? Two independent tracks, LOOP 1 and LOOP 2, each with its own footswitch.
How much can I record? Up to 4 minutes per loop, with roughly 7 hours of total storage across 99 projects.
How many drum rhythms does it have? Valeton's official manuals list 130 rhythms, while both official product pages say 100 — we report both figures since the sources disagree.
Does it have assignable loop effects like octave or reverse? No — those are on the larger VLP-400. The VLP-200 focuses on straightforward dual-track looping.
Can I sync it with other gear? Yes, via 1/8in TRS MIDI IN/OUT.
What's the difference from the VLP-400? The VLP-400 has 4 footswitches, 32-bit recording, double the storage and assignable loop effects; the VLP-200 is the smaller 2-switch, 24-bit unit.
