Valeton is a guitar and bass effects brand based in Changsha, Hunan Province, China. A trademark of Changsha Hotone Audio Co., Ltd. — the same company behind Hotone — Valeton was founded by a team with over a decade of experience designing and manufacturing musical instrument products for other brands. The company's approach centers on reducing costs through design innovation and product simplification rather than using cheaper components, allowing them to offer feature-rich gear at accessible price points.

Valeton is best known for its GP series of multi-effects processors, which have earned a strong following among gigging and home-recording musicians. The flagship GP-200 offers over 140 amp models, 100+ effects, impulse response loading, MIDI I/O, and a USB audio interface in a pedalboard-style format. The lineup extends to models like the GP-200X, GP-200LT, GP-200JR, GP-100, and the compact GP-5, each targeting different needs and budgets. Beyond multi-effects, Valeton produces individual stompboxes across several series — the Coral and Coral II (digital multi-mode pedals), the Loft (analog-voiced classics like the Blues OD, Analog Chorus, and Analog Delay), and the Surge expression/volume pedals. The Dapper series offers all-in-one pedalboard strips with curated effect chains for guitar, bass, and indie players. Valeton also makes the Rushead series of ultra-compact headphone amplifiers for silent practice.

Valeton has 48 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Multi Effects Pedals, Overdrive Effects Pedals, and Wah Pedals. Their gear is featured by 3 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock and Electronic. Notable users include Buckethead, Dagan Wilkin, and Ivanka. Most Valeton products sit on the budget-friendly end of the spectrum.
