Origin Effects MAGMA57 Amp Vibrato and Drive Pedal

Origin Effects MAGMA57 Amp Vibrato and Drive Pedal, New, Action Position Back

Legendary Magnatone vibrato in a stompbox design! The Origin Effects Magma 57 delivers amp-like pitch-shifting vibrato and drive with all-analog components.

Overview

The Origin Effects' MAGMA57 Amp Vibrato and Drive pedal accurately captures the legendary pitch-shifting vibrato effect found in vintage Magnatone(C) amps. Origin used all-analogue components to recreate this unique and sought-after effect at circuit level. They've also added a three-way Blend switch that combines the wet and dry signals in different ways to deliver three distinct modulation modes: pure Magnatone(C) pitch modulation, Uni-Vibe-style phasing and a unique chorus effect.

Alongside a range of modern features like tap tempo, rhythmic subdivisions and effects switcher integration, the MAGMA57 also houses a complete valve amp-style signal path. Built on the same platform as the groundbreaking RevivalDRIVE and inspired by the original Magnatone(C) amps, the pedal's amp circuitry delivers complex clean and overdriven tones dripping with vintage vibe.

Meanwhile, the powerful Post-Drive EQ section will make sure that the MAGMA57's stunning range of tones will sound their best whether it's plugged into an amp, flat-response power amp, mixer or recording interface.

Features:

- True two-stage pitch-shifting vibrato, as found in the Magnatone(C) 260/280
- Switchable blend modes to combine wet and dry signals in- and out-of-phase
- Complete valve amp-style signal path recreated in all-analogue electronics
- Powerful tone-shaping Post-Drive EQ
- Footswitch input for tap tempo and effects switcher integration
- High-current, low-noise electronics
- High-quality buffered… read more bypass
- Advanced power supply filtering and protection
- Premium components throughout
- Designed and built in England

Specs

- CONTROLS:
VIBE footswitch - Switches the vibrato effect on and off. When VIBE is turned on the jewel light will turn white and will pulse at the selected vibrato speed.* DRIVE - behaves like the Volume knob on a vintage non-master-volume guitar amplifier. Set low for clean sounds or turn it up for more overdrive.
TONE - Turn up for a brighter sound. Turn down to tame highs.
OUTPUT - overall pedal output level
SPEED - Turn up to increase the rate of the vibrato effect. The range of the SPEED control is set by the three-position MULTI switch.
MULTI - applies a preset multiplier to the speed of the vibrato, whether it is set by the pedal's SPEED knob or by attaching an external tap tempo footswitch.
SHAPE - allows you to choose between two different LFO waveforms.
INTENSITY - controls the depth of the vibrato.
POST-DRIVE EQ - three presets allow quick compatibility when plugging into Blackface, Plexi, and flat-response amps. Fine-tune the top-end further with the ADJ trimmer.

- CONNECTIONS:
INSTR: Insert your guitar, other instrument or signal source here.
AMP: Connect to your amp, power amp, mixer or recording interface. If you're playing through
something other than a guitar speaker (e.g. PA speakers, studio monitors, headphones or direct recording), we strongly recommend using a speaker simulator after the MAGMA57.
9VDC: Connect a 9V DC 2.1mm centre-negative mains power adaptor that can supply at least 120mA.
F/SWITCH: The F/SWITCH input allows you to connect an external footswitch or effects switching system to remotely control the following parameters:
* Tap tempo: Remotely sets the speed of the modulation effect. The F/SWITCH input detects tap rate by sensing the time between any two taps/pulses. The rate you set will then be multiplied according to the position of the MULTI switch.
* Vibe on/off: Remotely switches the modulation effect on or off, overriding the pedal's own VIBE footswitch.
