Origin Effects MAGMA57
Main controls
ON footswitch:
Toggles between BYPASS (“off”) and EFFECT (“on”) modes. When in BYPASS mode,
the jewel light is off.
VIBE footswitch:
Switches the modulation effect on and off. When VIBE is turned on, the jewel light
turns yellow and will pulse to indicate the rate of the effect. When VIBE is turned off, the jewel light is red.
The pedal’s simulated amp section remains active, just without any modulation.
DRIVE:
The DRIVE control behaves like the Volume knob on a vintage non-master-volume amplifier. Set
anticlockwise for clean sounds or turn it up for more overdrive.
TONE:
Turn the TONE knob clockwise for a brighter sound. Turn counter-clockwise to tame highs. The
MAGMA57’s tone control reflects the unusual design of the Magnatone
®
Model 213 Troubadour, which
featured a partially passive, partially active tone control. Turned anticlockwise, it pulls out highs like a
conventional passive tone knob. However, turned up past around 2 o’clock, it starts to actively boost
treble, making for a very powerful, wide-ranging control and adding to the overdrive character of the
pedal.
OUTPUT:
The output control sets the pedal’s overall output level. Situated after the pedal’s simulated
valve amp circuitry, it allows you to adjust output level without affecting the tone or character of the
overdrive.
