___ NAM A2 ___ 10 budget pedals shootout using the identical downloaded sounds

 NAM IS YOUR FRIEND | 

A scientist would have to conclude that if you want the perfect representation of an amp that amp would have to be represented by 

NAM tech. If you hated it and loved the sound of another tech it is only because you are a musician born with an incurable affliction.

You take 10 of the cheapest budget NAM A2 digitally simulated amp pedals. Load the identical sound in each one & see which can accurately reproduce the sound closest to the metered 

then recorded spec of the actual amp. 

   CONCLUSION __  

I am not surprised the Valeton won because before they got into the Modeling Industry they were & are the one both making from scratch and/or supplying all the parts for everyone else. They do not need the 'middle man'  they are the 'middle man'. Their GP-5 came in 4th and smokes the bottom 5 yet is the cheapest by a lot at $70.00 USD. 

In short it squeaked into the pro sound quality which makes it worlds cheapest backup/emergency rig. It also has the supper bonus that you can literally carry it to the gig in the pocket of 

your jeans.
