The Ultimate Affordable NAM Rig: Valeton GP NAM Player for Every Budget
Build a world-class guitar rig on a budget with Valeton GP-5, GP-100, and GP-200LT — all using free TONE3000 NAM captures.
When it comes to unlocking professional guitar tones, most players assume they’ll need to drop serious cash on high-end hardware or boutique modeling units. That’s no longer the case. With Valeton’s GP Series of multi-effects processors and the free Neural Amp Model (NAM) captures available on TONE3000, you can now build a world-class rig for a fraction of the cost of other modeling systems.
The Power of NAM Meets Valeton’s Smart Design
At the heart of this revolution is Neural Amp Modeling (NAM), a breakthrough technology that uses machine learning to replicate the exact behavior of real amps, cabs, and signal chains. TONE3000 hosts the world’s largest library of free NAM captures, covering everything from vintage Fender combos to high-gain British stacks.
The Valeton GP series, meanwhile, offers incredibly capable multi-effects and modeling units that support NAM and IR loading, making them perfect platforms for running TONE3000 NAM captures or impulse responses. Together, they form a modular system where your hardware becomes the host, and your tone library lives online — portable, customizable, and completely free.
The $80 Rig: Valeton GP-5
If you’re just getting started with using NAM captures, the Valeton GP-5 is arguably the most affordable way to get into it. Retailing for under $80, it delivers compact portability with enough power to load nano NAM captures, impulse responses, as well as a host of onboard effects like modulation, delay, and reverb.
Pair the GP-5 with free TONE3000 NAM captures and you’ve got an instant mini-rig that fits in your gig bag.

The $150 Rig: Valeton GP-100
Stepping up to the Valeton GP-100 gives you the ability to play nano NAM captures and impulse responses, as well as offering more processing power, a dual effects chain, a USB audio interface, and stereo outputs. For less that $150, it’s an all-in-one unit that punches far above its price range.
The $275 Rig: Valeton GP-200LT
For players who want the feel and flexibility of a professional-grade floorboard without the four-figure price tag, the Valeton GP-200LT is the sweet spot. At under $275, it includes 240+ effects, a vibrant touchscreen interface, and deep routing options for four-cable setups or re-amping.
Using nano NAM captures from TONE3000, the GP-200LT becomes a legitimate alternative to premium processors costing five times as much.
Coming Soon: The Next Wave of GP Models
Valeton has been on a roll lately, recently teasing the upcoming release of a slew of new models (as of October 2025). Next gen versions of the GP-50, GP-150, and GP-180 are all currently in development. When they arrive, expect even tighter integration with NAM profiles and streamlined support for TONE3000’s expanding tone ecosystem.
Building Your Dream Rig For Less
The partnership between Valeton hardware and TONE3000’s NAM community is redefining what “affordable tone” means. You no longer need a $1,000 processor to sound world-class. Whether you’re recording, performing, or just exploring new tones, the combination of Valeton and TONE3000 offers a glimpse of a future where great sound isn’t about the price of your gear, but the creativity you bring to it.
