Origin Effects MAGMA57

POST-DRIVE EQ controls

The POST-DRIVE EQ ensures compatibility with a wide range of amplifiers.

Instead of altering your amp or its tone controls to suit the MAGMA57, set your amp for the desired clean 
sound then use the EQ controls to adjust the pedal’s output accordingly.

MODE switch:

 This switch offers a choice of three different output filters.

• 

P/AMP:

 Use this setting when plugging into a flat-response power amp, mixer or recording interface. 

Selecting the P/AMP setting disengages the ADJ variable filter control (see below).

• 

EQ1:

 Designed to suit the response of a Blackface Fender-style amp, EQ1 applies a low-pass filter to 

roll off excessive highs. Use this setting when plugging into a bright-voiced guitar amp.

• 

EQ2:

 Voiced for connecting to a Marshall-style amp, EQ2 applies a high shelf cut to gently rein in high 

frequencies. Use this setting when plugging into a fuller-sounding, mid-rich amp.

ADJ:

 When EQ1 or EQ2 is selected, the ADJ knob lets you fine-tune the pedal’s output to suit 

the individual response of your amp and the way its controls are set. As you turn the ADJ knob 

counterclockwise, this proprietary filter design gradually rolls off bass and adjusts the high shelf 

response. The end result is a very powerful and intuitive control.

If your amp sounds too bright or thin with the MAGMA57 engaged, turn the ADJ control clockwise. If it 
sounds too dark and wooly, turn the ADJ control counterclockwise.
