From the VLP-200 to the VLP-400: A Looping Station Designed for the Stage
A direct evolution of the VLP-200, the Valeton VLP-400 takes the performance looper concept further: two fully autonomous loops, a more flexible onboard rhythm section, and enhanced foot control. It positions itself as an "all-in-one" solution for those who want to compose, arrange, and perform without a computer.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
Guitarists, bassists, singers, keyboardists, beatboxers, or content creators will find the VLP-400 a reliable tool for live, home studio, and pedalboard use. Ideal for solo sets, fingerstyle, pop, rock, and ambient music, it also suits duos or bands wanting to structure verses, choruses, and bridges via two distinct loop tracks.
Key Features and Workflow
Two dedicated footswitches LOOP 1 and LOOP 2 independently manage recording, playback, and overdub. An assignable switch activates 7 loop effects (Octave, Reverse, Freeze, Half, Fade, Once, Solo) to shape your textures in real time. The SERIAL mode facilitates section chaining, while FREE frees your timing. The drum machine is foot-controllable (switching and tempo) and synchronizes with loops (AUTO/SYNC). Extended memory for 99 projects, import/export and updates via USB-C, separate volumes for Loop 1, Loop 2, and Drum, external pedal and 5-pin MIDI IN/OUT compatibility to integrate the VLP-400 into a modern rig.
Sound
The 32-bit / 48 kHz engine ensures faithful capture of playing, with sharp attacks, low noise, and stable stereo imaging. Built-in loop effects allow thick layers (STACK), creative half-speeds, cinematic reversals, or crystalline freezes without degrading clarity. Rhythmic synchronization ensures clean transitions between sections, ideal for precise "verse/chorus" arrangements.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Valeton VLP-400 allow the use of two independent loops?
Two independent loop tracks, LOOP 1 and LOOP 2, are controlled by dedicated footswitches for recording, playback, and overdubbing. The SERIAL mode allows chaining of sections, while the FREE mode frees the timing.
How many rhythms are built into this loop station?
The drum machine includes 100 patterns and a metronome. The AUTO and SYNC modes enable synchronizing the rhythm with the loops, with foot control of tempo and switching.
Can a microphone be connected to the VLP-400?
The L/MIC input, a combo XLR and 6.35 mm TS jack, accepts either a microphone or an instrument. The microphone input impedance is 4.7 kOhms, while it is 1 MOhm in instrument mode. An R input on a 6.35 mm TS jack completes the connectivity for stereo sources.
What is the available recording capacity?
Up to 99 projects can be saved, with a total capacity of approximately 12 hours. Loops are recorded in 32-bit / 48 kHz stereo WAV format.
Which loop effects can be activated by footswitch?
An assignable footswitch provides access to 7 effects: Octave, Reverse, Freeze, Half, Fade, Once, and Solo. The 32-bit / 48 kHz AD/DA conversion supports the loop processing.
