Sounds Like a Tube Amp, Because It Is a Tube Amp - The New Fryette Valvulator GPDI/IR Direct Recording Amplifier

Introducing the new Fryette Valvulator® GPDI/IR, Direct Recording 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 cab, headphones, direct to mixing console, boosted by an external power amp and direct to FOH for unmatched simplicity and utility everywhere and anywhere.

Use Ours or Load Your Own

The GPDI/IR is the only solution that provides two integrated cabinet sim options.

• A Digital Cab IR loader complete with memory space for 16 cabs, including 8 of our 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.

Professional-Quality Reamp Solution

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

Add A Channel

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

Effects Loop

This long-requested feature 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 a Cab

The One-Watt tube power amp stage in the GPDI/IR will easily drive a 4, 8 or 16-Ohm 112, 212 or 412 cab. Then mic the cab and track at super low volume for quiet recording.

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.
