Not a good upgrade from GP-5
Bought this to upgrade from Valeton gp-5 for its expression pedal, bigger display, internal battery etc. What made me send it back is it has HUGE gap in sound when switching pedals on/off or patches, so bad that the sound cuts for almost ONE SECOND(!!!) which makes playing and switching effects on/off imposible. A problem I dont have with my GP-5 and Chocolate Plus midi switch, you still can hear a little hickup when turning stuff on or off, but it's ever so subtle, you definately cannot hear it in a mix. I am not covinced that this is merely a software thing, and can be fixed with an update in the future, I think that Valeton tried to put too much stuff in the same hardware as GP-5, and it just cannot handle it.
The other thing is, battery. I couldnt get more than 2 hours of battery life before the "Battery empty" message, even without playing trough it, after a full charge - VERY FAR from the 6 hours battery life advertised.
Anyway, I was very keen on getting an upgraded GP 5 with more features, but ended up VERY disapointed and got to return it. Now i have to apologise to my trusty GP-5 and get it out on my board again and go to a nice gig.
