Origin Effects MAGMA57 Amp Vibrato & Drive
Origin Effects · pedal
The Origin Effects Magma57 Vibrato Drive is a stompbox recreation of the pitch-vibrato-equipped Magnatone combo amplifiers from the late 1950s, built on the same amp-modeling analog circuitry as Origin's RevivalDRIVE platform but focused specifically on that one amp's signature onboard effect. Output, Tone, and Drive controls cover a wide range from clean jazz tones through big, smooth cleans to authentic old-school overdrive character, while Intensity and Speed controls with three-way switches shape the pitch-shifting vibrato itself. A post-drive EQ section tailors the output for Plexi-style, Blackface-style, or full-range flat-response amp setups. It's aimed at players wanting genuinely lower-gain, characterful vintage tones with Magnatone's distinctive true pitch vibrato rather than ordinary tremolo.
