A new concept in effects technology for the studio or gigging musician
Designed for electric or acoustic/electric guitars, the Magicstomp provides effects from the Yamaha UD, AG and DG Stomp programs, plus a number of digital effects from the Yamaha SPX family in an ultra-compact, user-friendly "stomp box" format.

Loaded with a total of 198 sound programs (99 preset and 99 user), the Magicstomp contains vintage and new amp models, studio-quality effects, and speaker/microphone models, using powerful 24-bit processing.

The Magicstomp connects via USB to a computer (MAC or PC) to allow deep editing of programs,… read more patch configuration and patch downloads from the Internet. Bundled software includes driver, editor and tone data files, with a number of preset and additional patches. A dedicated website (coming soon) will let you upload and download programs - including a number of high-profile artist patches - free of charge.

Although the Magicstomp performs complex functions internally, Yamaha has succeeded in keeping the user interface simple and easy to use. The real 'magic' here is that they've created a product so powerful and fun, it will be impossible for guitar players to resist. read less

I expect to use this box a couple of years. I'm a gear nut and am always looking for new stuff. However, if the support folks do their job and make updates available....keep this box up with new sounds and software upgrades, it could very well be the last box you need to buy.
Sound
Sounds are excellent. I have AB'd my Tubescreamer, MXR Dynacomp, MXR Phase 90, Boss Chorus with this thing and have created excellent simulations of each. This is a wonderful box.
Features
Features are many and extensive. Assignable knobs for different effects, edit on the fly (to an extent), small footprint, website to download new sounds and program updates (if they get it updated) and many others. However, you wonder why they left out stuff like tap tempo and direct access from, say, patch 5 to patch 9 without having to hear 6,7 & 8 along the way.
Quality
Appears solid. I gig without a taking a backup, though I have backups.
Value
Excellent "useful sound per buck" value.
