Got it yesterday, works really fine with the Iridium for PR/Mixer/FOH - although I play an archtop guitar, which is "acoustic" sounding! Have slight problems staying clean when extensive strumming. I turn the volume knob more and more down. Love the slow vibrato as "always on". For the first time in my life an overdrive works with the AER accoustic amp : )
I'm no marketing genius, and I took me a while to appreciate this channel's approach. But coming into this channel with Strymon and UA pedals, it hooked me on Origin Effects. I own one, the M-EQ Drive, and now the decisions are how to sequence my purchases, based on what I have. I only found one other video comparing the DCX and the M-EQ, and it wasn't to my taste. (Pretty sure you guys sponsored it.) It would be really helpful for those of us new to the Origin Effects line if you could lend this content creator the pedals to show the possible ways they could be used together. What would an all-Origin Effects pedal chain look and sound like? Great pedals. Glad I finally understand why.
@@hekakain4108 Bright-Onion and a few other builders will make what you need. You need a dual-footswitch on a TRS, where the TIP is wired through a momentary switch for tap. The RING is wired through a latching switch for the effect on/off. Both shorting to ground.
Thanks so much dude. It’s fun to find the right song for the right pedal. I feel like it helps people understand what a piece of gear can do when there is an piece of music behind it. Cheers!
Wow, thanks! What a generous compliment. And yes! Sometimes inspiration is hard to come by on your own. A new piece of gear can often pick me up out of the creative rut. The problem is when I keep trying to be inspired it can get expensive haha. Cheers!
@@SuperdangerStudios You're very welcome. I enjoy all your reviews and, on the basis of the lovely clean tones heard here, I've just ordered one of these. I'm in the UK where we have a 'Half Term' break. Enjoy Memorial Day weekend!
This pedal has been the core of my sound for the last two years. I use it as my amp sound and run it into my actual amp, and then run my other drive pedals into it. It's fantastic.
Thanks for the video, Alex! You should keep the gear reviews. But I'd really like to see some guitar playing tips. I love your chord progressions and in betweens. I'm sure people would appreciate it.
Great video, love the magnatone sound (I play through a Panoramic Stereo for this reason). You are spot on, on the confusion of vibrato vs. tremelo. To further add to the confusion of tremolo vs. vibrato. Your hand gestures were alluding to incorrect waveform convention. Should be Tremelo (up-down volume), vibrato (left-right in frequency-pitch). Keep up the good work!
Great video, amazing sound quality, inspiring story telling. I can not believe you dont have more subs. Anyway, thanks again man! You made me buy the Strymon Deco v2 ( i love it even more now that I have it) and you will make me perhaps buy this one... Cheers and looking forward to watch the next video from you.
So great to hear. I always feel like I talk about gear too much and not enough about the whole point of gear! It's supposed to make you feel something. Happy to hear about your progress. Have a great week!
Now that sounds like amps I have not heard in a long time! That smooth edge breakup is what most of the rock music albums sounded like!! Excellent playing and nice song work there too!! Reminds me of Stones or Jimmy Page around 1973!!
@@SuperdangerStudios Especially if the player knows how to play into it. It takes technique and dexterity to bring out the best sounds, but all amps were like that before all this 'fuzz" or 'gain" coming from the pre amp started to become so popular.
The metallicy sound that mags. create is PURE GOLD. Fabulous Blues amps. They get ya outta that marshall/Fender stuff. The Pitch shifting is just to COOL. And can be very univiby too. Nice Demo. 17:48-17:57 NOW that is the Sound, Pure GOLD. It is like Metallic Glass to the Ears. Think Cowgirls in the Sand!!! 25:25 is fabulous too.
@@SuperdangerStudios the ampeg thing is a bit meatier when overdriven...Philip Conrad did a interesting review on both pedals : th-cam.com/video/dTmoG8ugYQU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=PhilipConrad
So pleased to have found this vid and your channel! By far and away the best review of this pedal I've seen: informative, great tones, great playing, and enjoyable. I learnt more from this demo than I did from all the others put together 👍
Fantastic video. I think 🙃😉🙃. I say I think because there's so much going on. So many new sounds. You've definitely hooked me on Origin Effects. And I think all Tone Chasers are John Mayer. The example with the Dream was a dream. I got my M-EQ yesterday and it's fantastic. I did my research after the fact, and most people seem to think it was the right starting choice over the Halcyon, since they think the M-EQ is more versatile. The DCX Boost is the 3rd Adaptive OE pedal, so I'm looking forward to your video to see if that's next. But this video complicates my choices, since I want them all. I agree that searching for a different tone is aided by Origin Effects original combinations. Mayer helped me because he's partly the result of my generation's heroes. But also the idea that music often finds you when you're ready. So by trying to reverse-engineer Mayer, I end up with Hendrix, Garcia, and Clapton. (SRV with Albert King means I need to take another look at both.) Bottom line, I think most of us are chasing same and different, simultaneously. If I was Bill Gates, or John Mayer, I'd just buy one of each. Not even sure that's a good idea, however. I just searched Sweetwater and everything looks interesting to me except the RevivalDRIVE Hot Rod, since I'm more of a Low Gain guy. I've found nothing like your videos on TH-cam. I like the way you concentrate on Strymon, Origin Effects, and UA. How they work together and how they differ and are unique. Your work is focused and open to the new. Love it.
Thanks so much Mike. Origin Effects does a great job with their pedals. Really unique sounds that are really helpful for guitarists. Thanks so much for the kind words. More videos to come!
I watched this despite already having that pedal (and the Deluxe 61). I love both and almost immediately sold my Dream and Ruby pedals after getting those (I did keep the Woodrow though, there is something magic about it). I mainly play hollow and semi-hollow guitars and what bugged me most about the UA pedal was their latency - you don't really 'hear' it (well, I don't), but if you play a guitar that resonates, you definitely feel it. My current favorite combination is the DCX Boost into the Deluxe 61 and Magma 57, an awesome combination. Many thanks for your detailed coverage of several use cases. I did get something out of it: I definitely need better IRs! I just bought the Bassman and Deluxe IRs from York and the improvement over my Celestion IRs is huge. Highly recommended (I use the Boss IR-200 with time based effects in its stereo loop and then go into the Walrus Canvas Stereo). Very happy!
Aren’t the York audio IRs great? It’s shocking how big an upgrade they are. I still down own a hollowbody and hope to remedy that soon. Oh man I’d love to get my hands on the dcx. It’s such an interesting sound and pedal. How does it do in front of those pedals?
@@SuperdangerStudios 'Shocking' is correct. I could not believe the difference, especially since at least some of the Celestion IRs were a massive upgrade over the Boss ones... I mainly use the DCX in EQ mode which has enough drive for me. It seems to have a very good buffer, which allowed me to disable the buffer in my Polytune tuner, which always did something weird to treble transients, much better now. The HF and LF knobs plus the voicing options make it a lot easier to tailor the Deluxe 61 and Magma 57 to different guitars - as good as their tone controls are, they are just one tone control after all. Sure, I could use a parametric EQ, but even compared to the very good Empress EQ, the HF and LF controls in the DCX sound more natural. The drive added by the DCX plays extremely well with the Deluxe 61 throughout the gain range, with the Magma 57 I would not add any gain, just EQ / clean boost. The more tweedy character of the Magma does not really go well with a drive, but that is to be expected I assume. The biggest benefit of the DCX for me is that adaptive feature though... The amount of dynamics (volume or attack variation) you are getting is just amazing.
I dig your soulful playing, Alex - and I looooove your seductively slowfunky rendition of "I Can't Make You Love Me"… Moreover, I do entertain the notion that your humor is not lost on me completely, either. Keep on groovin'!
@@SuperdangerStudios Thanks for taking the time to answer. Whatever you have tried, Alex - well done, entertaining, helpful, and mesmerizingly musical. Keep 'em coming!
You have to try the origin effects bassrig ‘64 into the york audio IRs. It sounds as amazing as you’d think and I can’t seem to find TH-cam videos of this, but it’s worth it for the Tweed and Black Panel sounds… and yes it works perfectly fine with a guitar.
Dude I was literally thinking that last week! I used to have a 64 bassman so my heart longs for that pedal haha. Also since I track bass a lot it would be really helpful.
I've been using the bassrig '64 with guitar and love it! It sounds amazing amp out into iridium with only the cab section on with York Audio IRs, but I actually like the lo-fi vibe of the built in cab sim of the '64.
Alex, I’ve kept my eye on this pedal ever since you posted this video. I picked one up mint-pre owned and have been incredibly impressed. I have it paired with the York Audio Bassman IR, and agreed there is nothing really like it. Side note, I’m still a beginner and in my “paint by numbers” stage of learning how to play. I absolutely love the lick you played from 16:36 - 17:10. Do you have any tabs, notes, chords, etc you can share to help me start working on it? Thank you for all the work you do!
Yannick thanks again for your generosity! I’ll record a video going over that sequence for you! Can you follow me on IG? I’ll send you a video dm. So glad to hear you’re enjoying the magma. It’s an unbelievable pedal. Talk soon!
Madison Cunningham and Mac DeMarco are two artists I can think of who use vibrato in their core tone, but there understandably aren't many fans of an effect that consistently detunes your guitar haha. I love it though! Great video and a great pedal.
Well said! They are 2 of the rare ones using great vibrato. Great catch! Vibrato is a tricky mod to use effectively. It takes a lot of guts to use it haha. Cheers!
Fantastic demo & beautiful playing dude. Beautifully shot & edited video too. What camera are you using? Respect. Loving this in England. Do you have a band & music on TH-cam? ✌️🎸✨
Thanks so much, James. I am using the Sony a6400 with the sigma 1.4 33mm, and the sigma 1.4 23. I don’t have a band right now but will be posting the full performances soon on TH-cam. Thanks again man! Cheers
hello!! great channel and great video!! Answer me a question please: How do you connect your pedalboard to the audio interface and record it? I go from Straymon Iridium to my UadArrow with two passive Di boxes and still I can't get a good sound like the one I hear in the Straymon Iridium headphones. How do you record it? Thank you very much in advance! And please keep making videos they are amazing!! 🤙🏻
Thanks so much for watching. I can go through my signal chain on a future video. My signal chain is just straight out from my buffer pedal into the DI on my interface. I am using an Audient id44. I do some light eq and compression in the daw and that’s it.
Very slickly produced video and tasteful playing. Question: what was housing you cab IR’s? An IR pedal or your DAW? Also, out of curiosity, what DAW and OS platform do you choose to use?
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words. I had the IRs loaded in my DAW using positive grid bias fx 2. I prefer logic and MAC but only bc that’s what I learned on. I’m not too sure if any daw has any obvious advantages anymore with the exception of ableton for live performances. I love logic though. It’s really intuitive for writing, arranging, producing!
This was a nice demo of a cool pedal but for that kind of money I should recall settings like other amp modelers do. I mean SERIOUSLY for the price of two of these pedals you could buy a actual used Magnatone amplifier! $ 459 for a pedal that doesn't store or recall settings is not gonna make it.
Great video man! Could I run the magma in p/amp mode into other pedals before it hits my dream 65? Or does it have to go directly into the dream at that setting?
Thanks so much. I would probably use eq1 if the end amp is the dream65. Although I have experimented with all the eqs and sometimes get better results. PAmp mode is usually for going direct or into FRFR speakers so into a fender style sound it would lack the low end that you would want. Hopefully this answers your questions
Wonderful video! i see there is a footswitch input! can you please tell me what can I control with a footswitch and with wich one does the pedal work with? I guess the same switch you can get for the revival pedal?
For the footswitch you need a special lead with two pedals. One has to be latching for the on/off and the other momentary for the tempo tap. Or you do what I do and use a Boss FS-6 with a standard trs as you can assign each pedal differently.
Which of the three Origin amps (m57, d61, revivaldrive) would be your top choice if you could only have one? For use with IR/UA OX? Does the big RD box have the advantage of potentially finding the same settings as the two smaller pedals, or are they all unique in some aspects of "feel" and color?
They are all very different and the RD can cover most of the ground that the other two offer. If I could only have one I would probably keep the Magma bc it’s the most unique pedal by far!
Not really a big fan of Vibrato. Doesn't make sense either to pay so much money for the Magna 57 Vibrato pedal. The drive build in is completely useless for most guitarplayers. Since most guitarplayers already went through many overdrive pedals and have found their favourite and put it on their board. A more sensible pick would be the Boss vibrato VB-2 Waza if you would go for a vibrato pedal, which takes up less space of the precious space one has on the pedalboard. Personally I wouldn't have take up the space of 2 pedals for a fx you use probably on 1 maybe 2 songs during a set. Also most players have somekind of Line6 Multifx unit on their board, like the HX Stomp, M5 or M9. Which includes a Vibrato effect. So imho it would be wiser for Origin Effects to compete with a Vibrato only pedal in a smaller casing and at a more budget friendly price.
Lots of expensive pedals out there that people use. I think this one is overlooked not bc of price but bc people did not understand the sonic imprint of it. But i agree if you don’t usually buy higher priced boutique pedals then this probably isn’t for you.
Hi, how do you change the settings from the iridium to fit with the origin in front of it - I have a iridium? (I play an acoustic sounding archtop - and go directly into the PR/mixing desk in small theaters. And I want to "clean up" the clean sound like you E-guitarists do with FUZZ)
My settings on the Iridium were very clean. Round channel, treble was at 1 o clock, mids were at 10 o clock, lows were at noon. Gain was around noon as well. If your archtop has a bassier sound I would roll the bass and gain down further on the iridium as well or even use EQ2 on the Magma57 to mitigate. Let me know if this helps!
@@SuperdangerStudios Got it, works really fine with the Iridium for PR/Mixer - although I play an archtop guitar, which is "acoustic" sounding. Love the slow vibrato as "always on" effect : )
I'd say nobody's using it because it's ridiculously expensive. I remember hearing the first demos of it and really wanting it, but it's just too expensive when a used HX Stomp can be found for 400€ is less. Does it do the Magnatone sounds? No, but it probably will eventually
It's not ridiculous in any fashion. It's expensive for good reason, it's complex and well made. With the logic displayed in your comment, there'd be no point in making any pedal because... The HX Stomp could do something similar I guess. I love my MAGMA57 and my HX Stomp, both do incredibly different things.
@@SuperdangerStudios Sorry mate, I most probably sounded a bit rude (Not my Intention) Over here in New Zealand our NZ $1 is worth 61c USA (So almost 40c in the dollar more) so if the pedal is worth $200 Usa thats $ 330 nz,, Plus $46 postage, All FX pedals are a bit pricey at the moment
Wow, thanks for checking the pedal out!

Thanks so much for watching. I can go through my signal chain on a future video. My signal chain is just straight out from my buffer pedal into the DI on my interface. I am using an Audient id44. I do some light eq and compression in the daw and that’s it.
@@SuperdangerStudios oh wow! Awesome sound bro! Thank you very much for answering! I will look forward to your video!! 😎🤙🏻
Very slickly produced video and tasteful playing. Question: what was housing you cab IR’s? An IR pedal or your DAW?
Also, out of curiosity, what DAW and OS platform do you choose to use?
Thanks so much for watching and the kind words. I had the IRs loaded in my DAW using positive grid bias fx 2. I prefer logic and MAC but only bc that’s what I learned on. I’m not too sure if any daw has any obvious advantages anymore with the exception of ableton for live performances. I love logic though. It’s really intuitive for writing, arranging, producing!
Dude forget the pedal, your playing is fucking amazing
Thanks so much dude. Very kind! Cheers
This was a nice demo of a cool pedal but for that kind of money I should recall settings like other amp modelers do. I mean SERIOUSLY for the price of two of these pedals you could buy a actual used Magnatone amplifier! $ 459 for a pedal that doesn't store or recall settings is not gonna make it.
Great video man! Could I run the magma in p/amp mode into other pedals before it hits my dream 65? Or does it have to go directly into the dream at that setting?
Thanks so much. I would probably use eq1 if the end amp is the dream65. Although I have experimented with all the eqs and sometimes get better results. PAmp mode is usually for going direct or into FRFR speakers so into a fender style sound it would lack the low end that you would want. Hopefully this answers your questions
Wonderful video!
i see there is a footswitch input! can you please tell me what can I control with a footswitch and with wich one does the pedal work with?
I guess the same switch you can get for the revival pedal?
Yes the foot switch changes the speed of the vibrato! It can use any trs expression pedal I believe.
For the footswitch you need a special lead with two pedals. One has to be latching for the on/off and the other momentary for the tempo tap. Or you do what I do and use a Boss FS-6 with a standard trs as you can assign each pedal differently.
Which of the three Origin amps (m57, d61, revivaldrive) would be your top choice if you could only have one? For use with IR/UA OX? Does the big RD box have the advantage of potentially finding the same settings as the two smaller pedals, or are they all unique in some aspects of "feel" and color?
They are all very different and the RD can cover most of the ground that the other two offer. If I could only have one I would probably keep the Magma bc it’s the most unique pedal by far!
@@SuperdangerStudios ended up with the same :) sounds insane though the Ox Stomp.
Aside from the pedal, Schecter makes some killer guitars right?
They do! Was really surprised with this one too. Fretboard is a little flat for my taste but still a rad guitar.
Not really a big fan of Vibrato. Doesn't make sense either to pay so much money for the Magna 57 Vibrato pedal. The drive build in is completely useless for most guitarplayers. Since most guitarplayers already went through many overdrive pedals and have found their favourite and put it on their board. A more sensible pick would be the Boss vibrato VB-2 Waza if you would go for a vibrato pedal, which takes up less space of the precious space one has on the pedalboard. Personally I wouldn't have take up the space of 2 pedals for a fx you use probably on 1 maybe 2 songs during a set. Also most players have somekind of Line6 Multifx unit on their board, like the HX Stomp, M5 or M9. Which includes a Vibrato effect. So imho it would be wiser for Origin Effects to compete with a Vibrato only pedal in a smaller casing and at a more budget friendly price.
Why is no one using it? Well, let's see. $460. Yeah, that might be a good reason!
Lots of expensive pedals out there that people use. I think this one is overlooked not bc of price but bc people did not understand the sonic imprint of it. But i agree if you don’t usually buy higher priced boutique pedals then this probably isn’t for you.
Hi, how do you change the settings from the iridium to fit with the origin in front of it - I have a iridium? (I play an acoustic sounding archtop - and go directly into the PR/mixing desk in small theaters. And I want to "clean up" the clean sound like you E-guitarists do with FUZZ)
My settings on the Iridium were very clean. Round channel, treble was at 1 o clock, mids were at 10 o clock, lows were at noon. Gain was around noon as well. If your archtop has a bassier sound I would roll the bass and gain down further on the iridium as well or even use EQ2 on the Magma57 to mitigate. Let me know if this helps!
@@SuperdangerStudios thanks : )
@@SuperdangerStudios Got it, works really fine with the Iridium for PR/Mixer - although I play an archtop guitar, which is "acoustic" sounding. Love the slow vibrato as "always on" effect : )
I use vibrato all the time, my vibrato bar, not sure who came up with 'tremolo bar', much the same story as the fender amp.
Haha the old switcheroo
That would also be Fender, i.e., Strat with its “Synchronized Tremolo”.
New gear is cool
It sure is
I'd say nobody's using it because it's ridiculously expensive. I remember hearing the first demos of it and really wanting it, but it's just too expensive when a used HX Stomp can be found for 400€ is less. Does it do the Magnatone sounds? No, but it probably will eventually
It's not ridiculous in any fashion. It's expensive for good reason, it's complex and well made.
With the logic displayed in your comment, there'd be no point in making any pedal because... The HX Stomp could do something similar I guess.
I love my MAGMA57 and my HX Stomp, both do incredibly different things.
Please don't tell my wife that I don't need new gear! I'll never get a pedal again!!!
My lips are sealed my friend.
Can it be becouse it is to expensive
Most probably overpriced mate
You can find them used!
@@SuperdangerStudios Sorry mate, I most probably sounded a bit rude (Not my Intention) Over here in New Zealand our NZ $1 is worth 61c USA (So almost 40c in the dollar more) so if the pedal is worth $200 Usa thats $ 330 nz,, Plus $46 postage, All FX pedals are a bit pricey at the moment
@@11calman all good my friend. That’s a tough financial situation over there! Hope that changes soon for you guys. Cheers!
It is not, because it can make a just ok amp sound like a very expensive vintage amp.
Ain't no mistake. I don't like true vibrato. I like tremolo.
Haha, Leo knew something didn’t he?
