Members LR Weizel Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 I've been considering getting one as a cheaper alternative to M9 but I'm wondering exactly what you can do with it. For example I hear it has a very good Ring Mod, but if I wanted to use that with the Reverb, would I be able to do that? It'd be nice to make bell sounds. I know there's a limit to what you can have simultaneously but how is it decided? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gunner Recall Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 The magicstomp is in no way an alternative to the m9...just a heads up. I don't know all the patches off the top of my head, but iirc, if it isn't already in the presets you can't combine new effects. You can only edit existing ones.

Members mrfresh782 Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 its somewhat versatile, they give you presets with combinations of effects, but if its not there you dont have it. download the manual to see. i personally think its worth it but i did sell mine.

Members Chaos Realms Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 Never selling mine. The presets are really great, and the main reason I keep it. I never mess around with making my own for it, I'd rather spend the time experimenting with what's already there. If I ever get bored with what's in it now I can always get some more from the internet. I filled up all the user presets with more of the premade ones that came on the CD. India Drown!

Members mrfresh782 Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 anybody else like the germanium fuzz on it? i loved it but it might have been before i became slightly cork sniffery. i couldnt get the phaser to work for a damn.

Members LR Weizel Posted October 28, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 I don't know realistically how much I'll need to combine effects since I'll be using it with a proper effects rig anyway most likely(Small Clone, Moon Phaser, Memory Boy, whatever else I pick up). Is there any good list of what effects I can combine? Also, isn't it possible to get new presets? Are those just new settings I could have made myself, or do they unlock extra combinations etc.?

Members LR Weizel Posted October 28, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 In this he seems to have more than one preset going at once or something... like he has amp sims, delay and phaser going at one point and I don't see a setting like that. He seems to get the kind of settings I'd use an M9 for in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrfresh782 Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 just download the manual. yes you can have more than one effect on, but only in combinations yamaha set up beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ck3 Posted October 28, 2009 Members Share Posted October 28, 2009 just download the manual. yes you can have more than one effect on, but only in combinations yamaha set up beforehand. ... and most of these chains consist of only two parallel or series effects blocks, e.g., rev+chorus, rev>chorus, rev+flange, etc. If you are looking for an all-purpose stompbox to provide one or two effects at a time and aren't opposed to rack-style interfaces, the Magicstomp is easily worth the price of admission. I'm actually having second thoughts about selling mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ck3 Posted October 29, 2009 Members Share Posted October 29, 2009 I thought it was a disappointment compared to the DG-Stomp. In terms of durability and design, perhaps ... but not so much with regard to features. [EDIT:] The Magicstomp doesn't have tap tempo, footswitchable looping, or expression pedal control, but can create many of the same multi-band delay sounds and even has UD stomp presets. [EDIT#2:] The above statements were made in error. I mistook the DG stomp for the UD stomp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe. What I liked about the DG, in addition to the ruggedness, was that you could use it like individual stompboxes, it was possible to turn off the modeling, and you could sort of bypass the unit. I always wished Yamaha upgraded the DG rather than make the Magic. Add tap-tremolo and let you put the reverb before the tremolo, like on an amp.
