Origin Effects MAGMA57

Example settings

MAGMA SOUND

Inspired by sought-after Magnatone

®

 amplifiers 

from the 1950s, this setting combines edge-of-
breakup amp tone with classic pitch-modulating 
vibrato to add thickness and movement to your 
sound.

WOODSTOCK VIBES

Experience psychedelic overdrive that’s perfect 
for soaring solos. Switch the BLEND to 0° for 
instant ‘60s Uni-Vibe sounds, and use a tap tempo 
footswitch to control the modulation speed on the 

fly.

INTERSTELLAR VIBE-DRIVE

Take a trip through the cosmos with this raw over-
drive tone that’s inspired by early British psychede-
lia. Switch the BLEND control to 180° for a spaced-
out phasing effect.

GRITTY ROTARY

Achieve a great rotary speaker sound with mid-
range punch and true pitch modulation. Turn up 

the DRIVE control for more saturation, or flick the 

MULTI switch to shift gears and really make the 
room spin!
