Fryette Valvulator® GPDI/IR – Direct Recording Tube Amplifier

Description

Presenting the newly updated Fryette Valvulator® GPDI/IR – Direct Recording Tube Amplifier.

The Valvulator® GPDI/IR 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 cabinet, using headphones, going direct to mixing console or recording interface, boosted by an external power amp and direct to FOH for unmatched simplicity and utility everywhere and anywhere.

It Sounds (and reacts) like a tube amp, because it is a tube amp….

The GPDI/IR is the only solution of its kind that provides two integrated cabinet sim options:

• A Digital Cab IR loader complete with memory space for 16 cabs, including 8 of Fryette’s most popular cabs. You can also load your favorite cabs via the front panel USB port.
• A tunable All-Analog cab filter for zero latency and expansive dynamic range.

Use both individually or simultaneously. You can also defeat the cab sim and use external IRs.

The GPDI/IR is also a Professional-Quality Reamp Solution. It includes a Unity Gain Direct Out for recording your raw guitar pickup output to a track, and a dedicated rear panel Reamp Input to reprocess that track into a new performance with no external accessories required.

Add A Channel to your favorite amp. This feature of the GPDI/IR allows you to add the GPDI Clean and Overdrive sounds to virtually any existing rig. Using the External Amp Mode, you can now connect the GPDI/IR to any amp equipped with an effects loop. Switch between normal and external mode remotely via an external footswitch or remote function.

The updated GPDI/IR adds a long-requested feature: an onboard Effects Loop.

Adding the effects loop allows you to:

• Insert effects between the GPDI/IR tube preamp and tube power amp stage.
• Drive the GPDI/IR tube power amp stage from an external preamp, modeler or Synergy Modular System.
• Insert effects into your signal path when running the GPDI/IR in External Amp Mode.

Drive your favorite cabinet using GPDI/IR. The built-in One-Watt tube power amp stage will easily drive a 4, 8 or 16-Ohm 112, 212 or 412 cab. You can also mic the cab and track at super low volume for quiet recording.

Updated Dynamics Control. The Sag function on the GPDI/IR has been refined to offer greater range, bloom, touch sensitivity and sustain regardless of pickup type. This is the key to natural touch sensitivity, pick attack and sustain unattainable from any modeler or standalone preamp.

Whether it’s for Recording, Quiet/Silent practice, or Live performance, the GPD/IR has a lot to offer for any guitarist.
