In 2021, music hardware/software experts Universal Audio launched their UAFX line of guitar effects pedals — bringing the same class-leading innovation and ease-of-use of its pro audio products to a tactile, plug-and-play stompbox format. The range has been expanded with the addition of the UAFX Max Preamp & Dual Compressor, which puts the colourful sound of three legendary limiters and an iconic tube preamp right at your feet!

3 Iconic Compressors, All In One Pedal!

From the mind of Universal Audio founder Bill Putnam to your pedalboard, Max gives you the same iconic UA 1176 FET compressor used on decades of legendary studio guitar sounds — whether you’re looking to make your funk a little funkier, add soulful sustain, or inject subtle infusions of tone!

The Max also offers the revered Teletronix LA-2A optical tube limiter that gives you softer, warmer dynamics control versus the 1176. Plus, you can fine-tune your compression with a pedal-exclusive Ratio feature — for limiting beyond the vintage hardware and UAD plug-in versions. Last but not least, add the grimy squeeze of the classic Dyna “red” comp for lo-fi compression and funky overdrive — perfect for sleazy slide tones!

Legendary UA 610 Tube Preamp & Compressor Stacking

Get the warm detail and character of UA’s iconic tube preamp and EQ, and dial-in killer sounds with the perfect amount of harmonics and grit. With Max, you can easily layer compressors in any combination too for a dizzying array of sounds and textures, letting you push your tones to the front no matter how much limiting you apply.

UAFX 2.0 Update: MIDI Control, Better Bluetooth, Expanded Presets & More

Tasty Pedals made by Universal

Just Pedal Ingredients.

Compressor — A compressor pedal evens out your playing by reducing the volume of loud notes and boosting quieter ones, creating a more balanced and consistent sound. It helps smooth dynamics, add sustain, and bring out detail in your tone — especially useful for clean guitar parts, funk rhythms, and country-style picking. By controlling attack and release settings, you can tailor how quickly the compression reacts, from subtle smoothing to tight, punchy control. In a pedalboard setup, a compressor can be used early in the signal chain to shape your overall response or after drives to tame peaks. It adds polish and presence, helping your guitar sit better in a mix and feel more refined under the fingers. A good compressor doesn’t just level your sound — it enhances your tone, giving every note clarity, strength, and definition.. Dual — When a pedal is described as dual, it means it contains two related circuits or functions within a single unit. This could be two gain stages, two channels, or two variations of an effect that can be switched or combined, giving you more tonal flexibility without needing multiple pedals. A dual pedal lets you move between sounds easily, such as a low-gain and high-gain setting, or stack both together for a richer, more complex result.. Guitar Pedals — Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone. These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all. Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.. Max. New — This is brand new, fresh in, and a UK warranty is included. Very Popular!.

Preamp — A preamp pedal shapes and boosts your guitar’s signal before it reaches your amp or recording interface, giving you control over tone, gain, and headroom. It acts as the first stage of amplification, adding warmth, clarity, and character while preparing your signal for the next part of the chain. Some preamps emulate the response of classic valve circuits, while others offer clean, transparent tone shaping ideal for acoustic instruments or direct recording setups. Used on its own, a preamp pedal can serve as the foundation of your tone, providing a consistent core sound wherever you play. When combined with other effects, it enhances dynamics and helps each pedal sound more defined and natural. Whether you’re looking to push your amp harder, bring life to a dull signal, or refine your sound for the studio, a good preamp pedal adds presence, punch, and musicality to any rig.. UAFX.
