Fryette Valvulator GPDI/IR Direct Recording Tube Amplifier

The multi-award winning Valvulator GPDI is a direct recording solution featuring an ultra-flexible All-Tube one watt guitar amplifier specifically designed to deliver genuine dynamic tube amp sound and feel through a speaker cab, headphones, direct to mixing console and direct to FOH/Monitor board for live performance applications.

The Fryette Valvulator GPDI/IR Direct Recording Tube Amplifier features an all new Digital Cab IR loader complete with memory space for 16 cabs, including our most popular cabs. You can also load your favorite cabs via the USB loader using the included PC and Mac enabled user interface. The Valvulator GPDI/IR is the only solution that provides two integrated cabinet sim options, Analog (for zero latency and expansive dynamic range) and Digital IR (for realistic room reflections and convolutions). You can use both individually or simultaneously. You can also defeat the cab sim and use an external IR.

Sixteen factory installed cabinet impulse responses come pre-loaded in the Valvulator GPDI/IR. These can be modified using the included GUI, or you can install your favorite cab files via the USB connector on the front panel.

A high quality stereo headphone amplifier with a stereo effects loop allows you to insert delays and reverb into the headphone mix, plus a Program Input that accepts a stereo music source such as a CD or MP3 player or group practice mixer for an unprecedented level of performance.

The Valvulator GPDI is used live and in studio by high profile artists and producers such Paul Jackson Jr, Train, Gustavo Santatoalla, Sumac, Helmet, and David Torn. Pedals companies such as Voodoo Lab, Earthquaker Devices, Solid Gold FX, Spiral Electric FX and Maxon/TWA/Godlyke use it for their demo boards.
