Precautions
• Avoid using the MAGICSTOMP in the following locations to prevent possible damage:
• In direct sunlight or next to heating equipment.
• In extremely cold or hot locations.
• Locations exposed to high humidity or excessive dust.
• Locations subject to strong shocks or vibration.
• Before making any connections, make sure that the power is switched OFF on the MAGICSTOMP
and any external devices.
• To protect speakers from possible damage, always set the VOLUME knob to “0” before switching
the power ON/OFF.
• When connecting any devices to this unit, make sure that the power is switched OFF first.
• The MAGICSTOMP is a precision device. Handle it with care and avoid dropping or jarring it.
• For safety, always remove the power adaptor from the AC wall outlet if there is any danger of
lightning striking in your area.
• Keep the MAGICSTOMP away from neon signs or fluorescent lighting to prevent noise pickup.
• To prevent damage and possibly electrical shock, never open the case and tamper with the

CAUTION
• In order to prevent electric shock or damage to your equipment, turn OFF
the power on the guitar amp, etc., and set the MAGICSTOMP’s volume to its
minimum level before making any connections.
• Use ONLY a Yamaha AC-10 Power Adaptor (or other adaptor specifically
recommended by Yamaha).
Using another adaptor may result in damage, overheating or fire, which
can be very dangerous.
• Make sure to use the recommended AC voltage as indicated on the power
adaptor.
• The MAGICSTOMP automatically switches “ON” when power is connected and supplied to the
device.
• Connect a guitar, bass or any line level instrument such as a synthesizer, etc., to the INPUT
jack. The MAGICSTOMP can also be connected to the effect loop of an amplifier, mixer, or
other similar device.
• Set the INPUT LEVEL switch to match the output level of the instrument or device that is
connected to the MAGICSTOMP. If the sound is distorted when the switch is set to the HIGH
position, change the setting to LOW. If you feel output is low when the switch is set to the LOW
position, change the setting to HIGH.
• When using patches with stereo output, we recommend connecting the MAGICSTOMP’s out-
put jacks to a stereo device.
• When connecting to a monaural device, use the OUTPUT L/MONO jack.
• When connecting the power adaptor to the MAGICSTOMP’s AC IN jack, you can wrap the
power adaptor cord around the cord hook as shown in the illustration below (this helps keeping
the plug from being accidentally pulled out).
CAUTION
• Don’t let the cord bend sharply or kink when wrapping the cord around
the hook. An excessive bend can cut the cord or start a fire.

Create your own sound
■ Use the knobs to adjust the effect
The three knobs located below the display let you adjust different characteristics of the effect.
The parameters that these knobs adjust, differ according to the selected patch.
The name of the parameters that these knobs adjust, and the relative knob position of each of the
parameters are shown on the lower half of the display.
In the example shown below, the following parameter names and knob values are shown starting
with the left knob.
DRIV (Drive): 8.9, MSTR (Master): 4.0, TONE: 2.8
U01⁄DIST10000000
ó‡DRIVfiMSTRáTONE
When the knob’s position does not match the value for the selected parameter, you’ll need to rotate
the knob until it matches the position that corresponds to the parameter value before you can change
the setting.
Let’s rotate the DRIV knob. Before rotating the knob, its parameter name is shown in the display.
[Fig. 1]
When the knob is rotated, the set value (8.9) is indicated in the display, and will not change until you
rotate the knob past the 3 o’clock position. [Fig. 2]
[Fig. 1] [Fig. 2]
After you rotate the knob past the 3 o’clock position, the actual value that corresponds to the knob’s
position is indicated in the display. Also, the ¤ mark to the right of the patch number will change to ⁄
to indicate that the parameter’s value has changed. [Fig. 3]
Once the parameter’s value has been changed, the value shown in the display will reflect the posi-
tion of the knob. [Fig. 4]
If the knob is not moved for a few seconds, the value display will return to the parameter name
display.
14 [Fig. 3] [Fig. 4]
Create your own sound
Information on the parameters can be found in the PDF file in the accompanying CD-ROM. Look in
the (Macintosh only: [International] folder →) [Manual] folder → and get the [EffectListE.pdf]. This list
offers descriptions on each of the effect parameters.
* Acrobat Reader is required to view the PDF file on your computer. (→page 25, 27)
Inside the accompanying CD-ROM, you’ll find an editing application called “Sound
Editor for MAGICSTOMP” that lets you use a computer to edit the patches (effects)
in the MAGICSTOMP.
The MAGICSTOMP has a total of 63 different effect types, that each utilize a variety
of parameters in addition to the three that can be controlled with the MAGICSTOMP’s
three control knobs. With the Sound Editor you can change any of the effect’s pa-
rameters as you like, to create elaborate effects. You can also assign any param-
eters you like to the MAGICSTOMP’s three control knobs.
The Sound Editor also lets you use the patch library that is included in the accompa-
nying CD-ROM and store patches you have created with your computer, in the
MAGICSTOMP.
We also recommend that you use the “Sound Editor for MAGICSTOMP” to gain a
greater understanding of how the MAGICSTOMP works. Refer to page 22 for more
information.

Saving Patches
■ Storing edited patches (STORE)
The MAGICSTOMP lets you store your original patches in its User Patch memory (U01-U99). After
creating a patch you like, use the following procedure to store the patch.
* Patches can not be stored in the Preset Patch memory (P01-P99).
* The volume knob’s setting is not stored with patch data.
The store operation takes your edited data and writes it to the destination patch number that you’ve
selected, overwriting the old patch data with the new. Depending upon your needs, either overwrite
the original patch with new data, or select another patch number to store the new data to.

21
Editing Patches with a Computer
In the CD-ROM that came with your MAGICSTOMP you’ll find some patch files (library
file format) that contain patches other than those found in the MAGICSTOMP’s Preset
Patches (P01-P99). You can select any of the patches you like from the library and trans-
fer them to the MAGICSTOMP’s User Patches (U01-U99).
Also found in the accompanying CD-ROM is the “Sound Editor for MAGICSTOMP”
application that lets you use your computer to edit those parameters that can not be
edited with the MAGICSTOMP’s control knobs, to create your own original patches.
Using the application is easy. Launch the “Sound Editor for MAGICSTOMP” application
and select a patch library in the library window, then click to open the editor window in
which you can edit all of the selected effect’s parameters. On the computer’s display you
can set the patch type (effect type), patch name, and assign parameters that can be
controlled with the MAGICSTOMP’s control knobs. After editing the patch, it can be trans-
ferred to the MAGICSTOMP’s the User Patch memory.
