Yamaha Magic Stomp multi-effects pedal, like-new in box with manual, USB cable, software, and power supply.

This is a great, often overlooked pedal. I purchased it to recreate the Kevin Shields/My Bloody Valentine reverse reverb and "early reflections" algorithms found in the Yamaha SPX 90. IYKYK.

Item will be carefully packed (box-inside-a-box) to ensure safe transport. Thanks and good luck!

YAMAHA'S OVERLOOKED MASTERPIECE?

It seems appropriate that the Yamaha MagicStomp, one of the most versatile digital pedals of all time, was released this same year. I’ll be honest: when I first bought this pedal, I didn’t like it. It sat around my office for about a year gathering dust, and then I decided to bring it out of retirement for an episode of the JHS Show. If you go back and watch this episode, I am quite literally playing it for the first time on camera. 

The tape echo feature for this is flawless. I honestly love the digital delay tech of this era, because they actually put in the effort to accurately recreate these sounds. These designers really examined what they were emulating, and their efforts paid off.

For a digital pedal with about a million presets, this was surprisingly user-friendly. I didn’t want to read through the manual, but I was still able to get some pretty awesome sounds out of this pedal. That’s pretty baller.

Once I was able to get past the pedal’s terrible aesthetic, I really enjoyed playing it. Sure, it’s a purple monstrosity with a weird font, but it sounds awesome. That’s the point. Pedals sit at our feet, after all. They aren’t meant to be super visible, so if it looks weird but sounds great, isn’t that better than the other way around?

Yamaha is basically the BuyMore of our day. They sell everything – and I do mean everything –so it makes sense that they’d have a branch of their company devoted to weirdo digital pedals. And with the MagicStomp, they hit a freakin’ home run. 

I want to close with a friendly reminder: I’m allowed– in fact, we are all allowed –to change our minds. If you don’t like a pedal when you first see it, fine. But don’t be afraid to give it a second shot, especially if you spurned it the first time based on its look rather than its sound. You might actually love it, and you won’t know until you try.
