Valeton Dapper Bass Mini DEMO + REVIEW | Boost, Compressor, Preamp, Chorus, Tuner, DI Pedalboard!

Compact multi-effects pedalboard for both bass and guitar! Subtle to squish compressor, light to solemnly epic or crazy chorus, and a wonderful preamp with light distortion and EQ to reach any tones: from vintage loud mids to modern mid-scooped madness and everything in between. Watch out for the BASS control: as with its modelers, Valeton doesn't mince words when it comes to extreme clear bass!

What would we add to it? As always, batteries would be nice, but we understand the Dapper's high headroom in THREE independent effects is tough to achieve at low enough current to make them feasible. Other than that, have it as a grab and go solution, or integrate it onto a compact pedalboard for your amp (or even alone with your amp!), the Dapper Bass Mini will guarantee you most of your basic plugged bass and guitar needs.

Pro Tip: set the Bass Amp gain to three quarters, and only engage the Boost/Comp as a sustainer and driver for higher gain, or light and compressed play. And for a bit of movement and intrigue in your bass tones, set the chorus to low RATE and DEPTH: just enough to hear it work it's magic. Yeah, we usually go none-more-dry with our reviews, but Valeton really rocks with their creations. Let'em have it: the Valeton Dapper Bass Mini is epic and you NEED to try and get one too!

From the amazing folks at Valeton, the best deal you'll ever get for a modeller, BY FAR. Have a look at all their wonderful creations here:

We use sE Electronics microphones! The T2 is the be-all end-all LDC. From the only TITANIUM sputtered capsule microphone manufacturer in the world. Compact lollipop design (hangs from cab), the 4 polar patterns (all useful), extremely accurate frequency response 20Hz to 20kHz, great transient response and durability make it THE objective choice for us. Nothing else we tried compared to it. Our T2 shall never leave us: one of the best microphone designs in history.
