Guitar Compressor Pedal UAFX GPM-MAX Silver

Description

Product Overview

The UAFX GPM-MAX is a compact, silver‑finished metal pedal that brings authentic emulations of legendary compressors—UA 1176, Teletronix LA‑2A, and Dyna‑Comp—into a single, foot‑controlled unit. Built with a robust metal housing, it offers two ¼‑inch TS inputs and outputs, a 5 W analog output, and a 9 VDC isolated power supply (400 mA minimum, sold separately). The pedal connects via USB‑C for firmware updates and integrates Bluetooth and standard ¼‑inch audio interfaces for versatile routing. Its internal 610 tube preamp and EQ further expand tonal possibilities, while the UAFX Control app lets you stack compressors, adjust preamp EQ, configure footswitches, and add side‑chain bass filtering.

Usage

Designed for guitarists seeking studio‑grade dynamics on stage, the GPM-MAX excels in live rigs, rehearsal rooms, and recording setups. Its silent switching and buffered bypass ensure seamless transitions between compressed and clean signals, making it ideal for rhythm players, lead performers, and studio engineers alike. The pedal’s USB‑C port allows quick firmware upgrades, while the Bluetooth interface supports wireless control in modern digital workflows.
