I really want that Theta pedal. Interesting setup man, sounds like the magnum 44 is 😳 for real. I use two tube amps in four cable method for stereo but this would lighten the load for sure.
I have the EHX 44 Magnum. Thought about getting a 2nd one. I have used: Musicman HD150 and the EHX 44 Magnum. I have used the EHX 44 Magnum as a dry only amp, wet/dry/wet setups. I have used it as a stereo slave amp for my Mesa Boogie Nomad 100. Nice, video and great playing. I would suggest using an audio mixer and mic'ing the cab for better sound representation. I have also, used the EHX 44 Magnum with my Orange Micro Terror, when I only had 1. I have 2 of those and wouldn't mind getting a 2nd EHX 44 Magnum. Great little amps.
Hey. I'm working on something similar. I'm building my own Class D power amp (same as 44 magnum, but 60 watts) Also, I always hated noise in my signal. So I'm powering all my pedals with a 10.000 aH powerbank (using usb out and a voltage increaser from 5 DC to 9 DC) and daisy chaining everything. Autonomy of about 30 hours for the pedals, or even more cause they are not always on and at full volume. For the amp, I can power with 12V or 24V acid sealed batteries. 6-7 aH. May last 2-3hours. That's it. AC free rig. No mantainance. Light. No noise from dirty AC power. I can control volume with foot. Plug and play. "But hey... toobz have better tone"... yeah... "maybe" but they come with lots of those issues above.
Man you sound great!! I just wonder how the magnum sounds clean...I mean how much headroom it has, to be crystal clean before it starts to break up..Can we get it clean even in half or more volume?
Hi there, excelent video....the Magnum 44 has a good headroom, has good volume? ....I still do not know if I buy it and I would like references before deciding. My idea is to use it with my boss gt100, joyo vintage overdrive, distortion no.5 and run them through an orange cabinet with celestion v30.
great rig dude, but this is for a guitar player that plays big gigs, i just play a peavey bravo 112 (el84) witha 12 speaker and a boss pedalboard with a distortion a chorus a delay an overdive an eq and a noise reduction and im happy. (i play mostly 60 trough 90s music) .
Dude you blew my mind today. I have a few questions 1 why the compressor do you lose a bit of signal through the chain? 2 when you run this and switch between the two "channels" is one half of the cab muted when you are using channel A? 3 have you tried other pedals with the 44? Or are these just the ones you prefer? 4 have you tried it with a wireless? If so how does it sound? Finally can I under power my cab with the 44 if it's a 400 watt cab?
Hi! (1) Compressor is just a preference of mine. No noticeable signal loss without it. (2) Yes, one half of the cabinet is muted if used as a 2 channel setup. (3) I have tried a ton of pedals in front of the 44Mag. It sounds awesome no matter what. Best little poweramp on the market IMHO. (4) I have not tried a wireless with this board. Finally... Yes, you can always under power a cabinet. It's the opposite that you need to be careful with. Thanks for watching!! :)
Man that is a really smart set up, do you find the 44 magnum noisy ? i had one a couple of years ago but it was noisy as hell, i'd like to try to get another one but i'm a bit scared. Cheers.
I always have a noise suppressor in my chain and have never had an issue with the 44 mag's. I have never tried one without a noise suppressor. It's crazy that this little pedal puts out as much volume as it does. Love them. :)
If you plug up the guitar straight in the 44 mag it can be a bit noisy. However with some type of preamp in front of the 44 mag it's fine. I plug the guitar in a digitech element multi effects pedal then send that hot signal to the 44 mag. So the 44mag is turned way way down. Like on 2. No noise at all. I gain staged the opposite way to see the difference. I turned the levels down on the multi effects pedal and turned up the 44 mag and it was a noisy mess. Also it added so much bass that I couldn't remove enough. I feel like an EQ pedal in the chain before the 44 mag would be ideal. The 44 mag does color the tone a bit so that has to be taken in to consideration. If you do it right it's minimal. Keep your signal fairly hot before sending it to the 44 mag and you will get a good tone with no extra noise, hiss, hum, etc... Im running it to a 412 cab and it pushes the living hell out of the cab. It can get ten times louder than you would ever need. Cab, pedals combined it's a 300 dollar rig and sounds as good as my 6505 half stack which cost over 2grand counting the pedal board setup. The digitech element pedal is amazing and can do any type of sound. You just have to know how to dial in the settings. That goes for any type of gear. Your ear will develop over time and make that easier. Quick tip... Keep the gain down , mids up, and at band volumes keep the highs and bass down. At loud volumes the highs will shred a ear drum and the excess bass will muddy up the mix ,same as too much gain.
I'm setting up a W/D/W pedal board with 2- 44 Magnums right now just for the stereo wet signals. Really dig the 44's, never need more than 25% of their volume. But how are you powering yours? Did you find a pedal board power supply than can handle that or did you deal with fixing an AC power strip under the board and use the bricks that come with the 44's?Thanks
I'm pretty sure this is a ridiculously stupid question & I know the answer lol. I'm going to be running a few of the Mooer preamp pedals with the Mooer Black truck & Red truck straight into an FrFr powered monitor. Would the Magnum 44 be of any benefit to me? Since the monitor is 1,100 watts & FrFr AND the Mooer pedals I have, the 006, 001 & 003 with both black & red truck pedals all have preamps or sansamps.... Is there any reason I should get this pedal? I personally don't see why I'd need it but, if it will add something awesome to my chain then I'm all in. Thank you to whoever answers.
My goal is essentially this but combining them at the end to use a cab/power amp simulation then into a DI to plug straight to FOH. Eliminating the need for a cab.
That Theta pedal rules!!! Very close to an Uberschall sound
Man...that Theta sounds beastly!
This is totally fun. You are DOING what I've been considering. Thanks!
Exactly what I'm looking to do. Good job man.
Yes dude!! I too use the ISP Theta pedal! i use it in all my videos and live! It is The best solid-state preamp pedal ever!
Great sound when both are running.
Great tone, man! Especially the Richie pedal fat sound..
I really want that Theta pedal. Interesting setup man, sounds like the magnum 44 is 😳 for real. I use two tube amps in four cable method for stereo but this would lighten the load for sure.
You got an expensive setup though it is way smaller than lugging around two half stacks.

I am building a similar board around a tight metal pro and amt 3w power amp ( cake oedal)
I might have to do something like this.

The pre is before the gain 1/2, so having the bass on the pre set to 3:00 is probably part of why it sounds fuzzy. Just a thought.

Ok, i hope i can use it without noise suppressor, i think i'll give it another chance.
Thanks man.

Yep. Power strip underneath with the bricks and a one spot.
Carvin Mach 100 50 watts per side stereo sweet
In theory these two magnums could work like through stereo outs on a Kemper or helix yes ?

Question. If you added another radial at the end of the chain BEFORE the mag44. Would you be able to essentially have both signals into 1 cab?
Not sure about that.. But, this is all running into a single (stereo) 4x12 cab.
My goal is essentially this but combining them at the end to use a cab/power amp simulation then into a DI to plug straight to FOH. Eliminating the need for a cab.
What happened to the Green picks you were using Nylon Pro ?? You only used them in 1 Video ??
That is actually a blue nylpro pick. Same pick, different color. Good eye! :)
So you can load a preamp pedal into the Magnum?
Indeed.
Have you tried to ISP stealth power amps?
I have not. I imagine they are pretty awesome though. ISP makes some really good stuff.
Could you please clarify your chain ? Where did you put your decimator ?
The Theta kicks all of those others in the balls.
