3Bender SteelMaster Demo: Palm Bending Meets Whammy Bar

The Valeton GP-150 and GP-180 pack a lot into a small footprint. Tom Butwin breaks down what these compact processors share and where they part ways. Both offer 24-bit/48kHz audio, 200 effects, 100 NAM profiles, built-in battery life up to 6 hours, and Bluetooth streaming, along with essential multi-effects features like a looper, tuner, drum machine, and metronome. The GP-150 adds an expression pedal, making it a strong candidate for an all-in-one fly rig. The GP-180 swaps that for a third footswitch and dedicated effect buttons, a better fit for players who want tactile control or need to slot it into an existing pedalboard.
