Yamaha Magicstomp

Purchased through Musicians Friend for less than $180, I was looking for a pedal that was a good value, and had previously owned a DG Stomp.

The Magicstomp is very easy to use, with plenty of useable patches right out of the box. There are 99 User patches, so plenty of storage for the more creative among us. The sound editor software is very intuitive, I was able to edit/create and download new patches within minutes of installing it. The dedicated web-site with downloadable patches from the other stomp pedals, artist patches, etc. Screen is well lit an easy to read. Tuner is more accurate than a lot of multi-effects pedals I have used.

No digital out. The only disappointment to the whole deal.

Very solid, feels "meaty and substantial," and small enough to fit in your gig bag without much fuss.

If you are on a budget and want a good all-around multi effects unit, this is a very good bet

Needless to rpter, everything is here: and especially the http://www.magicstomp.com/eng/specs/index.html: http://www.magicstomp.com/eng/features/index . html.

How dcrire the Magicstomp? Its a multi-effects pedals and a guitar simulator dampli but specially dot dune ergonomics. Indeed, three pushbuttons, and a 3 potentiomtres volume, a stepfather may a bit tight for a tool to prtentions proud. Cest the dun's Fast Fashion is not directly on the pedals but the software that came with (PC and Mac). Another particularity: the sound banks are freely tlchargeables on the web.

Sounds over 99 manufacturer 99 user sounds, the little bote no shortage of resources.

Ah yes, a dtail: an automatic tuner analog Intgr.

UTILIZATION

Implementation:

Gteau of WinXP. One branch, we accept everything and moving. Just think of affect as Magicstomp midi interface in the setup software Sound Editor for Magicstomp.

Even when she pedals, well just put it like all the pedals from a grate and an amp or a sound card (it's true to be exhaustive).

Actual use:

Well, was going to be easy DTRE clear.
If you screwed your plutt ass on the leather chair in your home studio, rating, 10/10 EST.
on the other hand, if you do not go a day without a new group CRER in garages obscure the sweet smell of pee. SSTC not cool, because you Naur almost no discretion to change the sounds in the dj box.
So you have to buy the Magicstomp knowingly, or to the studio, or as organized enough prvoir and sounds you will use RPET.
Another snag to live: we pass a dun or incremented by lautre dcrmentation imagine, select 198 go! Fortunately the facilities are prvues: leaving supported streaming, select dfilent quickly, and a performance mode allows you to group 3 sounds will be available, each on a switch podal (an there is not but admit, will have a!).
on the other hand if your computer is connected Magicstomp (why not a laptop for live), its a real treat. Sound Editor for the software you can Magicstomp paramtrer your sounds on a simple interface while directly controlling the box (I mean the sound that you manipulate the pedals is modified in real time) . Asavre not only a flexible solution, but as you can store sounds on disk, the number of your Creations is infinite.
Ct database on the net, cest trs apprciable: dmo dun cost you a sound, if you satisfied you the download, otherwise you tlechargez when the same-not because PSE has nothing and you nt unreasonable. Lchange nen is that its beginners but there are sounds of dj trs well made.
Personally jaime EST concept and the heart filled damertume I give a small 7 / 10, thinking of the lover of dark cellars.

SOUND QUALITY

It parat that sounds come from the AG-Stomp and DG-Stomp. It remains vrifier that the quality is the same (I do possde nothing to compare), but I think the trs Magicstomp sen draws well, especially for the price.

Personally I do the User quavec electric guitar but a box is sold as a multi-effects for each instrument. I neither believe not much, effects, amps are very oriented grate. As against the electro-accoustiqueurs find happiness here (AG-Stomp paternity shares with DG-Stomp).

I do not put an 8 to make room effects pro unaffordable.

OVERALL OPINION

Jaime me, but be careful, be aware o you walk.
I'm no expert but the sound is decent trs (my PDAL Previous BOSS ME5 is a time for under 30 can not connatre (if someone cre a muse, I cde for peanuts)) and finally the sound edition of ergonomic computer rvle trs.
I Rasht without hsitations daut my limited resources (bought 200 PEDAL Paris, Pigale PRS).

Pedal relatively powerful processor to compose as many sounds as you want.
Use with a PC if necessary, you are entitled only to pre-selection device /
Ability to download new sounds via the website "yamaha Magicstomp"
No possiblilité to a key purpose by then, a way forward, a mode "on / off" and one for reverse.
100 plant and 100 adverse effects of your choice that you can turn your PC via

UTILIZATION

Complex configuration but once the system will understand, quite simple anyway.
For sounds, they are too "electronic" not realistic enough, and no continuity in the wake of sound.
relatively strong case. (Steel)

SOUND QUALITY

Whatever the guitar used, sounds come out quasimment same.
(Actually, we played with a guitar simple or elaborate, the sound come out always the same)
Lespaul used guitar, Gibson, Ibanez and Aria Pro Viper 2.
My favorites are some distortion effects, flange, reverb a little mail to my taste but not bad nonetheless.
effects not like at all: the echoes, delays, chorus, overdrive not realistic, not hot enough.
but for the price of the pedal, you can override.

OVERALL OPINION

Good pedal for beginners who want to discover many different sounds as a wide range of solutions and mixtures of effects.
All possibilities are open.
Little update in the downloads of sounds.
just great fun with the effects.
