Universal Audio UAFX Max Preamp & Dual Compressor Pedal

Built on award-winning UAFX dual-engine processing, the Universal Audio UAFX Max Preamp & Dual Compressor Pedal delivers the essence of three legendary limiters and an iconic tube preamp.

Explore Iconic Compression with the UA 1176:

From UA founder Bill Putnam to your pedalboard, the UAFX Max offers the same FET compressor used on legendary studio guitar sounds. Whether you seek funkier tones, soulful sustain, or subtle tonal nuances, Max delivers.

Get Warm Tube Compression with the Teletronix LA-2A:

Create Funky, Dirty Tones with the Classic Dyna Comp:

The UAFX Max adds the gritty squeeze of the infamous red box for lo-fi compression and funky overdrive, ideal for sleazy slide tones.

Add a Legendary UA 610 Tube Preamp to Your Rig:

Enjoy the warmth and character of UA's iconic tube preamp and EQ. Dial in killer sounds with the perfect amount of harmonics and grit.

Stack Compressors for Tones that Go Beyond the Norm:

Easily layer compressors in any combination for a plethora of sounds and textures. Push your tones to the forefront, no matter how much limiting you apply.

Personalize Your Pedal with the UAFX Control App:

Tweak EQ settings, enable serial/parallel operation, and utilize a sidechain bass filter for fully customized compression and preamp effects.
