Origin Effects MAGMA57

Connecting the MAGMA57

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 100mA.

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.

Effects switching systems:

 When connecting effects switching systems such as the Boss ES-8 or 

TheGigRig G2 using a TRS lead, the tip should be configured for momentary operation to send tempo 

pulses, while the ring should be set for latching operation. Both functions are activated by shorting the 
respective pin to the sleeve (ground) pin. The F/SWITCH input is wired as follows:
