A pocket-sized amp, cab and effects modeler that loads NAM profiles and costs USD 79.
Watch
MrCrosby's clip on the GP-5 covers a Windows USB driver problem rather than the sounds, which is worth watching before you plan on using it as a recording interface.
Why it matters
It runs more than 100 effects, up to nine at once, with IR slots, NAM profile compatibility, a tuner, 100 drum grooves and an audio interface for recording. Editing is done from a phone or desktop app rather than through the LCD screen. Gearnews included it in its 2025 effects-pedal list, citing the feature set relative to the price.
Note
A tiny amp/cab/FX modeler with NAM profile loading, Bluetooth app control and stereo I/O, named one of Gearnews' best effects pedals of 2025 on the strength of its feature set versus price.

Before you buy
