About This Item
Description
Want a third footswitch for tap tempo or extra patch control? The GP-180 shares the GP-150's 200+ effects and SnapTone neural amp modeling, but trades the built-in expression pedal for a third footswitch and a MIDI OUT jack, so it can also command other MIDI gear on your board.
Why guitarists choose the GP-180
- 3 footswitches give you more simultaneous control than a 2-switch unit — tap tempo, extra patch access or stomp toggles without menu diving.
- MIDI OUT lets the GP-180 act as a pedalboard commander for other MIDI-capable gear, not just receive MIDI.
- SnapTone NAM support (100 files, 50 curated) plus 20 third-party IR slots extend the built-in amp/cab models with neural captures.
- A 3000mAh battery with 6+ hours of runtime and USB-C PD charging means practice sessions aren't tied to a wall outlet.
Which compact GP-series processor fits your rig?
Compare across the line: the GP-180 here (3 footswitches, MIDI OUT, no built-in expression pedal), GP-150 (2 footswitches plus built-in expression pedal), the earlier-generation GP-100, and the stompbox-format GP-50 and GP-5.
Controls and footswitches
- 3 footswitches, module access buttons — no built-in expression pedal.
- 12 simultaneous effect modules from a 200+ effects library at 48kHz.
- 2 x EXP/FS jacks that can also serve as MIDI IN and MIDI OUT/THRU via 6.35mm TRS.
