The Fryette Valvulator GPDI/IR is a game-changer for guitarists who demand authentic tube amp tone in their recordings. This versatile all-tube amplifier is designed to deliver genuine dynamic tube amp sound and feel whether you're playing through a speaker cab, headphones, or recording direct to a mixing console. With its ultra-flexible design, the GPDI/IR seamlessly integrates into any studio or live setup, offering a wealth of features for recording, silent practice, and live performance.
Authentic Tube Tone, Anywhere
At the heart of the Valvulator GPDI/IR is a 1W, all-tube amplifier that delivers the dynamic response and touch sensitivity that tube amp enthusiasts crave. This is not a modeling amp; it's a real tube amp, delivering the same harmonic richness and responsive feel as a full-sized amplifier. Whether you're tracking at home, practicing silently, or playing live, the GPDI/IR provides the authentic tube amp experience you need.
Integrated Cabinet Simulation
The GPDI/IR offers two integrated cabinet simulation options for capturing professional-quality guitar tones direct. The digital cab IR loader comes with 16 memory slots, including 8 Fryette signature cabs, and you can load your own custom IRs via the front panel USB port. Alternatively, the tunable all-analog cabinet filter provides zero-latency cabinet simulation with expansive dynamic range. You can use either option individually or combine them for unique textures. The GPDI/IR also allows you to bypass the internal cabinet simulation and use external IRs for maximum flexibility.
Professional Reamping Capabilities
The GPDI/IR includes a built-in reamping solution, allowing you to capture a pristine direct signal while simultaneously recording the amped signal. The Unity Gain Direct Out sends your dry guitar signal to your recording interface, while the Reamp Input lets you reprocess that track through the GPDI/IR later. This eliminates the need for external reamping boxes, streamlining your workflow and maximizing your creative options.
Expand Your Existing Rig
The GPDI/IR's External Amp Mode allows you to integrate its clean and overdrive tones into your existing amplifier setup. Connect the GPDI/IR to the effects loop of any amp and use an external footswitch or remote function to seamlessly switch between your amp's sound and the GPDI/IR's tones. This expands your tonal palette without sacrificing the convenience of your current rig.
Effects Loop and Dynamics Control
The GPDI/IR features an effects loop for integrating your favorite pedals into the signal chain. Insert effects between the preamp and power amp stages, drive the power amp from an external preamp or modeler, or use the effects loop in External Amp Mode to add effects to your existing amp's signal path. The Sag control allows you to fine-tune the amp's dynamics, providing greater range, bloom, touch sensitivity, and sustain, regardless of your pickup type.
A Versatile Tool for Any Guitarist
The Fryette Valvulator GPDI/IR is a versatile tool that adapts to your needs, whether you're recording, practicing, or performing live. Its compact size and lightweight design make it easy to transport, while its comprehensive feature set provides endless tonal possibilities. Experience the ultimate in tube amp tone and flexibility with the Fryette Valvulator GPDI/IR.
