What “Valeton NAM” means

Valeton describes the GP-5 as supporting NAM file conversion with SnapTone. Its GP-50 also converts and loads NAM captures through that workflow. A SnapTone conversion is distinct from running the original NAM model.

The distributor’s A2 support notice lists GP-5 A2 conversion with mobile app 2.1.0+, and GP-50 with firmware 1.1.0+ and mobile app 2.1.0+. Checked on 1 November 2026. Consult the current Valeton instructions before updating or importing; these entries are not a claim that every Valeton model follows the same path.

Shortlist a capture for GP-5 or GP-50

  1. Search for the amp, pedal or sound you want. Choose Guitar DI or Bass DI to read the relevant measurements.
  2. Open a tone and choose a specific capture. Amp-only and full-rig captures are different starting points.
  3. On desktop, use the SoundClone listener to switch between NAM and SC/ST. Use the same clip and listen for bass response, attack and distortion changes.
  4. If SH is available, compare it as a separate option.
  5. Download the original NAM or an available conversion from Captures. Use your device’s documented import path and test it on the pedal.

Pay attention to bass and cabinet choices

A small change in low-frequency response can matter for bass, down-tuned guitar and palm-muted parts. Try the Ampeg SVT bass captures and compare the available versions before choosing one. The response graph and EQ/drive/feel indicators help explain a difference you hear; they do not replace listening.

Check whether the original capture includes a cabinet and how your particular preset handles cabinet processing. Avoid assuming that an amp-only capture and a complete amp-and-cab capture can use the same preset settings.

A preview is a starting point

Tone Explorer previews the available conversion in software. Hardware import support and playback can depend on the exact device, app and firmware. We do not claim physical import verification for every exported file or Valeton unit. Use the current official editor where it is required, and compare the result on your own setup.

Capture licences and creator credit still apply. Tone Explorer is independent of Valeton; product names identify the intended workflow.

Find it. Hear it. Make it yours.
