$80, no mention about latency.

  • In case people don’t want to watch the whole video, like the Sonicake, the Valeton is not a true NAM player. NAM profiles are converted to some other format. The result is not the same as using something that natively runs NAM profiles.

    I'm not sure I understand but that sounds like bordering on scam. I wont buy any hardware like this anyway but I am curious to see where it ends. So much stuff has been released in various forms, all building on Steven Atkinson's (hope I got the name right) original build (free on github).

    It's a very cheap, import pedal with a lot of features for $80; audio quality, reliability, specifics of each feature, and firmware updates are always a risk. Caveat emptor.

    From what I've heard, it does an ok job with many profiles, and a pedal offering these features with unconverted nam would need a bigger CPU, cost more, and use more power. The review is pretty good in spite of that and the quality measurements aren't too bad. YMMV

    FYI, Steve Atkinson wants NAM to spread and encourages it's use freely. He now makes a living providing consulting on NAM derivatives. He was certainly not ripped off.

    Not a scam … and also not the same as running a native NAM player. imo, consumers in this space would do well to understand the technology, and we should be careful about how we portray things. These things are amazing for something so cheap AND they don’t achieve the quality of something that is natively running NAM profiles. I have seen a few people dismiss NAM on the basis of devices that aren’t native players.

    I see, it's a bit above my head to be honest but thank you for the explanation.

    It seems that for now, the only "real" NAM player pedal out there are the Dimehead NAM player and the recently released Darkglass Anagram (for bass but I am sure it could be used for guitar after importing your own NAM captures). Both are quite pricey because they require DSP chips to run those CPU hog captures.
