Yamaha Bass Magicstomp

While I was in Birmingham last weekend for WordCampUK 2008, I checked out a few music shops. I found a new old stock Yamaha Bass Magicstomp which I tried out and bought for a pretty good price.

There were also versions for Guitar and Acoustic Instruments, but all of the magicstomp pedals have been discontinued for a few years.

The patches for each different model can be loaded onto the bass version using the software included in the box (WinXP/Mac only), so I suspect the only difference between the various models is the colour of the case.

My Magicstomp does everything I need from a pedal at the moment (compressor/limiter & valve emulating preamp) and is small and very quick & easy to set up. It also sounds great. I have been editing some of the preset fx patches, putting in some compression and subtle distortion programs, expect to hear it on the bass at the next few o5b gigs.

Share and Enjoy!
