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, 10 module shortcut buttons and a MIDI OUT/THRU jack, so it can also command other MIDI gear on your board.
Why guitarists choose the GP-180
- 3 footswitches, including a dedicated CTRL/TAP function — tap tempo, extra patch access or stomp toggles without menu diving.
- MIDI OUT/THRU lets the GP-180 act as a MIDI 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 3000 mAh battery with 6+ hours of runtime and USB-C PD charging means practice sessions aren't tied to a wall outlet.
- Analog/DSP bypass switching.
Controls and footswitches
- 3 footswitches with LED rings, with CTRL/TAP function; no built-in expression pedal.
- 10 module shortcut buttons for direct access to effect modules.
- Footswitches can toggle up to 6 effect modules.
- 2.4-inch color LCD, knobs and buttons for editing on the unit.
- Up to 12 simultaneous effect modules from a 200+ effects library, in any order, at 48 kHz.
- Tuner with cent display and multiple tuning templates.

FAQ
Does the GP-180 have a built-in expression pedal? No — it trades the built-in pedal for a third footswitch and module shortcut buttons. External expression pedals connect via the two EXP/FS jacks.
Can the GP-180 send MIDI to other pedals? Yes, its EXP/FS jacks can function as MIDI IN and MIDI OUT/THRU over 1/4" TRS, letting it command other MIDI gear; MIDI also works over USB and Bluetooth.
How long does the battery last? 6+ hours on the built-in 3000 mAh / 3.7 V battery (at screen brightness level II).
What power supply should I use? A 9 V DC, center-negative adapter rated at least 1.5 A (2 A for charging while playing), or a USB-C source of at least 1 A. A typical 500 mA pedal-supply output is not enough.
What's the difference between GP-180 and GP-150? The GP-180 has 3 footswitches, 10 module shortcut buttons, two EXP/FS jacks with MIDI OUT/THRU and analog/DSP bypass, but no built-in expression pedal; the GP-150 has 2 footswitches plus a built-in expression pedal. The effects engine is the same.
Does it support neural amp modeling? Yes, SnapTone NAM support with 100 files (50 curated) plus 20 third-party IR slots.
Can I charge it over USB-C? Yes, USB-C with Power Delivery and reverse-power support, or via a 9 V DC adapter.
