market. Some great examples and some maybe less

so depending on budget. Valeton, to my ear in these

review items we have to show you here suggest that

the models fall into the former group.

Up on the stand we have the Valeton Dapper Bass.

This is a multi-effect “fly rig” style pedal that I am

pleased to say includes some really useful features.

You’ll want to fire up the video and check out just a

handful of tones I put together for you, but I think

you’ll be able to get a good idea what this unit is all

about fairly quickly.

Effects, in terms of signal path (right to left) are:

Tuner: A stable and easy to use “single display” tuner

that mutes the output when engaged. Useful as a

mute function too simply by holding down the first

foot switch.

Compressor/Boost: You have the choice between

using the effect as a clean boost or as a compressor,

or of course a mixture of both. I also like that if you

are using a driven setting in the Bass Amp effects,

then boosting the level here will help to add more

saturation by driving the front end of the effects. This

works well with respect to the analogue nature of the

signal path. »
