G-Max v.2

High-gain push drive pedal for guitar – $299.99

Tight, aggressive and with a modern voice the G-Max is a compact and easy to use mid-gain push-drive pedal from SWELL.

With focused lows in addition to a smooth, clear top-end the Max muscles dirty amps over the edge and into submission.

Fundamentally transparent and with just the right amount of natural compression the G-Max recreates the complex overtones found in classic tube amps.

Select between Drive’s 1 & 2 for the just the right amount of gain and the NEW Boost remote jack (another SWELL 1st) gives you unparalleled control of your signal level with any simple latching on/off footswitch.

All of this while remaining dead-quiet even with the output level control maxed out!

From your home Studio to the stage cranked amp tone and feel at any volume level via Amp and/or Record outs.

The time is right to Max your TONE with the G-Max!
