Fryette Valvulator GPDI/IR Amplifier

Get Tube Amp Sound and Feel Anywhere!

The Fryette Valvulator GPDI/IR is an award-winning, all-tube, 1W amp that delivers genuine tube amp sound and feel to speaker cabs, headphones, or direct recording setups. Perfect for live performances or studio sessions, it brings classic tube dynamics to any environment.

Now equipped with a built-in Digital Cab IR loader, the Valvulator includes 16 cabinet presets, featuring Fryette’s most popular options. Upload your own favorite IRs via USB with an intuitive PC/Mac interface.

This versatile unit is the only solution offering two integrated cabinet simulations: analog (for zero latency and expansive dynamic range) and digital IR (for realistic room reflections and convolutions). You can use these individually, combine them, or even bypass them for external cab sims.

New Recording and Reamping Features.

The GPDI/IR includes a Unity Gain Direct Out for capturing raw guitar pickup output and a rear-panel Reamp Input for reprocessing tracks directly—no extra gear required.

Plus, connect to any amp with an effects loop using the new External Amp Mode, switchable remotely via an external footswitch.

Enhanced Dynamics and Sensitivity.

The refined Sag control provides greater range, bloom, and sustain, capturing the natural touch sensitivity and pick attack of a real amp—beyond the reach of modelers or standalone preamps.
