Universal Audio Max Preamp & Dual Compressor Guitar Pedal

The Universal Audio Max Preamp & Dual Compressor is a high-performance compression and preamp pedal, designed to deliver the iconic dynamics and tonal shaping of three legendary studio compressors alongside UA's renowned 610 tube preamp. Whether you need smooth sustain, punchy attack, or vintage valve warmth, the Max provides authentic studio-grade processing with intuitive control.

At its core, the Max features three distinct compression circuits, each inspired by classic studio hardware:

• UA 1176 FET Compressor - Fast, punchy compression with tight transient control.
• Teletronix LA-2A Optical Compressor - Warm, smooth compression with organic dynamics.
• MXR Dyna Comp - Gritty, lo-fi compression with funky, dirty textures.

The pedal includes a faithfully emulated UA 610 valve preamp, ensuring rich harmonic saturation and vintage EQ shaping. Players can stack compressors in any combination, allowing for parallel or serial operation to create customised tonal textures.

With stereo I/O, the Max enables immersive compression effects, making it perfect for wide, spacious tones in live and studio settings. The UAFX Control mobile app allows players to fine-tune EQ settings, configure footswitches, and add a sidechain bass filter, ensuring fully customised compression and preamp effects.
