TC Electronic Magus Pro Distortion Pedal

The MAGUS PRO stands as TC Electronic's answer to guitarists who demand both classic analog warmth and modern versatility in their high-gain distortion arsenal. This pedal recreates the legendary slow slew characteristics of the coveted LM308 op-amp through specially designed modern circuitry, eliminating harsh overtones and interference that plague many contemporary distortion units. The result is a smooth, pure distortion that maintains its musical character even when the gain is pushed to extreme levels.

What sets the MAGUS PRO apart is its comprehensive tonal shaping capabilities, headlined by the distinctive Treble Filter control – an effective hi-cut filter that allows precise tailoring of your top-end bite. Three distinct operational modes expand your sonic palette considerably: CLASSIC MODE brings old-school high gain with punchy mids and tight low end, TURBO MODE engages LED clipping diodes for increased headroom and output with reduced saturation, while FAT MODE boosts the bottom end and reshapes the upper mids for that quintessential hard rock sound.

As a solo boost, the MAGUS PRO excels with its evenly balanced harmonic resonance producing effortless sustain that seems to stretch endlessly. The pedal generates musical feedback when needed at higher gain settings, yet the slow slew rate design keeps unwanted sizzle completely under control, maintaining the warmth and tonal quality you'd expect from premium analog circuitry.
