Valeton GP-5 Mini Multi-Effects Pedal, SnapTone NAM & IR Loader, Bluetooth, USB Audio

Need full multi-effects tone in the smallest possible footprint? The GP-5 packs 100+ effects, SnapTone neural amp captures and Bluetooth 5.0 into a palm-sized single-footswitch stompbox with a metal chassis that still doubles as a USB-C audio interface.

Why guitarists choose the GP-5

• SnapTone NAM support (50 preloaded, 80 max) brings neural amp captures converted from Neural Amp Modeler files to a pedal small enough for the tightest pedalboard corner.
• Up to 9 effect blocks per patch in stereo, with a movable order for some modules, plus 20 slots for third-party cabinet IRs.
• Two bypass modes — analog and digital — so you can pick how the pedal behaves when switched off.
• Bluetooth 5.0 dual-mode (BLE and audio) streams audio for practice and lets the companion app edit patches and drum patterns without extra cables.
• A 2-in/2-out USB-C audio interface means the same tiny pedal that gigs also records direct into a DAW.

GP-5 or GP-50?

The GP-50 is the larger dual-footswitch model: it adds a second footswitch, a built-in rechargeable battery, a looper, 1/8" TRS MIDI IN/THRU, an EXP/FS jack, separate stereo and headphone outputs and a bigger 1.77" screen. The GP-5 keeps the same core sound engine in a smaller single-footswitch box.

Controls and footswitch

• 0.96-inch color LCD display for patch and parameter browsing.
• Volume knob and PARA knob for navigation and editing.
• Single footswitch with LED ring, 4 modes: Patch, Songlist, Stomp CTL, Tuner (Bypass).
• Built-in chromatic tuner; 100 drum patterns through the mobile app.

FAQ

Does the GP-5 have an expression pedal jack? No, there is no built-in expression pedal and no EXP/FS jack on the GP-5.

Can I power it from USB? Yes, USB 5V at 190 mA, or a standard 9V DC center-negative adapter rated for at least 100 mA. It has no battery, and an adapter is not included.

What's SnapTone? Valeton's neural amp capture format; the GP-5 loads NAM files converted for the pedal, ships with 50 preloaded captures and holds up to 80.

Does it have MIDI? There are no MIDI jacks; MIDI works over the USB-C connection. For TRS MIDI IN/THRU, look at the GP-50.

Can I use headphones? Yes. The 1/4" stereo TRS output doubles as the headphone output.

Does it have a looper? No. The looper is on the GP-50.

How is the GP-5 different from the GP-50? GP-50 adds a second footswitch, a built-in battery, a looper, TRS MIDI, an EXP/FS jack and a larger screen; the GP-5 is the smaller single-footswitch unit.
