Tutorial and Tips

Impulse Response is nothing more than a technology that digitally reproduces the sound characteristics of speakers, speakers and microphones. However, this is not a simulation, as the IRs are created from real equipment.

These are typically obtained from professional studios. Thus, a sound engineer emits white noise in a guitar cabinet. This signal is complete in frequencies. Then, a microphone captures the speaker’s “response” to the “impulse”. Finally, software records the spectrum, creating the IR.

In other words, the final format of Impulse Response is a small file, usually in wav format. Thus, it can be “read” by equipment compatible with the technology, such as pedalboards, pedals, software and plugins.

Differences between using Valeton Live in line or with a physical amplifier. I use it both ways.

I create banks without IR and CAB and banks with IR and CAB

When I connect it to a physical amplifier, I use a distortion pedal, like the DarkTale, based on the ProcoRat. For me, Valeton's best distortion pedal.

As for the drives, I use the OD9 the most.

But if you connect it directly, using Amp and Cab, I don't see the need to add a Distortion, as it can cause a lot of noise.

So, depending on the Amp, which already has a drive, just add some Overdrive to push the sound and you will have a good distortion.

But it's all a matter of testing what suits you best.

I always use Noise Gate 1 on 35 (distortion only)

Importing an external patch is very simple.

Right click on any bank you want to replace and select "import"

Choose the patch and click to load.  It will bring all the settings from the created patch.

However, if the patch has an external IR, it will not load automatically and you will only need to do this once, but select for all patches that use this IR.

Click on Load IR, load the IR, choose the USERIR position and that's it.

Remember, if you don't tell which USERIR you want to load, it will always be in USER IR 1, and may end up replacing another IR that you have already loaded previously.

Before loading the IR, tell us which USERIR position you want to save 

To create a Drop Eb bank, that is, for those who like to play songs half a tone lower or sound like Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Guns, Green Day and several other bands, this is a simple and quick suggestion on how to create a preset to trigger Drop Eb, using Whammy do Pré with the video settings!

Hey guys. In my course, I teach several basic configurations and of course, for the more experienced, this may sound easy, but I guarantee that there are many beginners with simple questions like this.

How to configure your knobs?

Using the GP200LT as an example, with 4 knobs, you can go to global settings, footswitch and assign whatever you want to each of the knobs. Honestly, I don't see any difference between the patch, user and stomp modes, after all, you choose what you want each pedal to activate!

In the example in the video, initially I am using each knob to change the patch (bank). But you can say that I want knob A (FS1) to activate Chorus. To do this, I change the path that was previously Patche 1 to CTRL 1. And in the CTRL settings, I mark Chorus. This makes it possible to activate any pedal or other function such as Looper, Tuner, etc.

You can even keep the 4 knobs as a patch and assign them to FS2+FS3 (knob 2 and knob 3) to activate another pedal (chorus example) if you press both buttons at the same time.

I hope I helped!  Watch the video below!
