Origin Effects MAGMA57

Main controls (continued)

SPEED:

 Turn clockwise to increase the rate of the modulation effect. The range of the SPEED control is 

set by the three-position MULTI switch.

MULTI:

 The MULTI switch applies a preset multiplier to the speed of the modulation effect, whether it is 

set by the pedal’s SPEED knob or by an external tap tempo footswitch. When setting the rate using the 
SPEED knob, the MULTI switch shifts the range of the SPEED control, providing precise adjustment over 
a wide range of speeds. When using the tap tempo function (see F/SWITCH, above), the tempo you 
enter will be multiplied according to the setting of the MULTI switch. The X1, X2 and X3 settings can be 
thought of as quarter-note, eighth-note and triplet modes respectively.

INTENSITY:

 The INTENSITY knob controls the depth of the modulation effect – in other words, the 

amount of variation in pitch, phase and/or amplitude that occurs. Turn clockwise to increase the intensity 
of the effect.

BLEND:

 The BLEND switches offers three distinct flavours of modulation:

• 

BLEND off:

 With the BLEND switch in the centre position, the pedal delivers pure vibrato (pitch 

modulation) modelled on the Magnatone

®

 260/280.

• 

0°:

 The dry and wet signals are combined in phase, creating a phase-cancelling or phaser effect 

similar to the ‘Chorus’ mode found on the classic Uni-Vibe.

• 

180°:

 The dry and wet signals are combined out of phase, creating our own unique chorus effect.
