wretchedfairy's Metal Pedalboard
Pedalboard 2.0 - massively streamlined from the original board to make room for the Whammy.
Originally home to a MXR M87 compressor, Big Muff Pi Bass distortion and a Behringer NR300, but I realised I had versions of these pedals available on the Valeton GP-100 and decided it made more sense to just use the on board ones to save space so I could add the whammy.
Completely ampless too, I use amp profiles on the Valeton and send them straight to FOH for live shows. I get a surprisingly varied array of sounds from this board; I’ve used it for both guitar and bass, for metal, punk and rock tones, all the way to shimmery and sharp pop tones.
The only downside is the lack of MIDI input for the Valeton, I’d use this as my permanent rig for the foreseeable future if the GP-100 had MIDI capabilities.

Does the job!
Solid little tuner, nice and clear display that my blind ass can read, even in low light stage environments.

A solid offering by Valeton
For a musician such as myself who can't always afford the best equipment on the market, the Valeton GP-100 and it's multitude of onboard amp, cab and effects simulators ultimately all add up to create a powerful Multi-FX pedal that's easy to use and won't break the bank.
The built-in amp and cab simulators mean that I no longer have to lug a weighty amp with me to my next gig, I can just plug into a DI box and I'm ready to go (and it costs about £1,300 less than a Kemper!). Additionally, having used it in rehearsals alongside another band member's Helix LT, I was surprised to discover just how much it was able to go toe to toe with the Helix in many regards, despite the price difference.
It does have drawbacks of course, as any budget gear does. It suffers a bit from having only two footswitches (though they are quite customisable in their function) and the budget nature of it means a few of the effects can sound noticeably digital. I also feel like the pedal would be honestly god-tier if it had MIDI connectivity, but again, this is a budget pedal and in my opinion, you definitely get your money's worth!
