Review: Best value for bass preamp with effects - I play a steady church gig and other freelance gigs in the corporate/private market as well as some studio work. I’ve been auditioning my bass collection (P, MM, EUB, U-bass, upright, and cello) through this unit and it sounds really great! The preamp eq section (my favorite on this pedal) is really warm and musical. The compressor is useable if you watch the strength of your input signal. The octaver effect is pretty meaty for an old school vibe with typical tracking results of an analog design. The chorus and envelope follower are pretty limited but functional. The tuner also works ok, but might leave you wanting for more precision or flexibility. I’m really pleased with this pedal’s ability to improve the overall tone of my instruments. I am a meat and potatoes type of player on most gigs. I want the instrument to sound full and clear through the amp or in ear monitors. The Valeton allows me to quickly dial up a great tone, mute while I tune, and throw in some decent effected sounds when needed, and it fits in my gig bag with tons of room to spare. I currently own a Line 6 helix stomp and various pedals. I have also owned the Aguilar tonehammer, Tech 21, EBS preamps as well. They are all great in their own way, but if you are looking for a highly functional gigging in the trenches multi effect unit on a budget then the Dapper is a hell of a deal! I might buy another for backup!
Review: Great pedal for an amazing price! - Overall this is a very nice pedal. The bass amp sound is great, and the tuner works really well. I compared it to my snark tuner and it matched perfectly. This is one of the best values going to bass pedals. The chorus sounds great and the compressor works as intended. It is a very compact pedal that fits in the front flap zipper pocket of my gator transit gig bag. No more amps on gigs for me!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: All demos feature passive basses. How does this unit behave with an active bass?**
A: I haven't used it with an active bass, but it is awesome with a passive. I would think that it works and sounds great with the active bass as well. Very cool product for a great price.

**Q: Is the "DirtyQ" an overdrive? ie a distortion channel? Or something else.**
A: No, it's not a "channel"… The DIRTY Q module is an envelope filter with some interesting tricks. Tweak the knobs onboard until you find the vocal tone that suits your playing style.

**Q: I see that it comes with its own power cord, how does it do with dirty power?  I would use it in an older wired church that has given humm on pedals.**
A: never had an issue with it - it even comes with a ground lift switch

**Q: Just curious if this can also be used for guitar, ie not just bass?**
A: It is just for bass

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid Build, Good Preamp, Limited Options
*by T***O on April 7, 2025*

I am happy with this pedal. It is solidly built, and the preamp sounds good, especially for a pedal at this price point. The only drawback is that you cannot adjust any parameters of the chorus or the compression, only the amount.
