Universal Audio UAFX Max Preamp & Dual Compressor

The Universal Audio Max Preamp and Dual Compressor is a pedal which will transform your sound. Featuring a wealth of seriously sublime footswitch-selectable compressor types, including the UA 1176, LA-2A, Classic Dyna Comp, and more, it'll give you all the tools you need to create the crispest, clearest, most sustained guitar tones ever. And with a premium preamp at your disposal, you can carve out your dream tone with pinpoint accuracy. Expect flowing harmonics and as much grit as you desire.

This is no ordinary pedal. There's a sidechain bass filter for accurately shaping your low end, as well as a wealth of other controls, including Ratio, Output, and Release, all of which help you perfectly mould your tone. If you're serious about creating a head-turning sound which always cuts straight through the mix to be heard, and blends perfectly with other instruments in a band setting, then this is the way to go. And with the UAFX Control app, you can further enhance your arsenal by further tweaking each effect. Take your sound to the max - literally!

Access compression that makes guitar sound huge!

All the compression you'll ever need. With three dedicated compressor types built into this machine, you'll be able to shape your sound with verve. There's the UA 1176, which gives you the same FET compressor-style that has been used to craft countless legendary guitar tones over the years. The Teletronix LA-2A has a softer, warmer dynamic, and can be fine-tuned using the Ratio dial, giving you a much smoother compression type. Then there's the Classic Dyna Comp, which is based around the lo-fi style of a legendary red box compressor.

But it only gets better. You can stack these legendary compressors together, with two dedicated footswitches turning each type on and off. All you need to do is assign each compression to a footswitch using the selector switches on each side. Then you can get the benefits of two compressors blended together to bring you a whole new universe of possibilities!

Superior preamp based on tube model

It's the most important part of your tone creation. The preamp loaded into the Universal Audio Max is based on a legendary tube preamp. It'll give you that warm crunch and accurate tone-shaping which helps your sound blossom. With dedicated Preamp and Output dials, you can mould your sound to suit your exacting taste. It'll help you achieve your dream tone both in the studio and when performing onstage.

Fully personalise through dedicated app

There's nothing you can't do. Using the dedicated UAFX Control app, you can change things like EQ settings, get serial/parallel operation, and add a bass sidechain filter. So, don't hold back, and achieve your dream tone with ease. This is all in addition to silent switching, buffered bypass, stereo compatibility, and more! If you love supreme-quality compression, and tone-crafting the Universal Audio Max stands well above its peers as a superior pedal.
