44 MAGNUM
Guitar Power Amplifier
Congratulations on your purchase of the 44 MAGNUM guitar amplifier! The
44 MAGNUM produces a powerful 44 watts and is small enough to fit in the
palm of your hand. Despite this amp’s small size, at 44 watts the 44
MAGNUM will have no problems being heard at the gig. The 44 MAGNUM’s
sweet sound and extreme portability guarantee it to be an integral part of
your rig for rehearsal, recording, or playing out. The 44 MAGNUM was
designed with the guitar in mind and can be used alone, or with your
favorite preamp driving the input to the 44 MAGNUM. The 44 MAGNUM also
sounds great with other instruments such as bass and keyboard. Please read
this manual to become familiar with the correct use of the 44 MAGNUM.
-CONTROLS a d JACKS-
VOLUME CONTROL – This knob controls the volume or loudness of the
amplifier. As you turn the VOLUME knob clockwise, the 44 MAGNUM’s output
gets louder. At a certain point in the VOLUME knob’s travel the output will
start to overdrive, at this point you are beginning to exceed 44 Watts on
your loudest notes. Turning the VOLUME knob further clockwise will produce
a more overdriven sound which is the result of pure power amp saturation.
BRIGHT/NORM CONTROL- When engaged, the BRIGHT switch adds a
subtle top boost or presence to your signal. When in the NORM position, the
top boost is defeated.
INPUT Jack- Plug the output of your guitar, effects pedals or any other
instrument into the INPUT jack using a standard ¼” instrument cable. The
input impedance presented at the INPUT jack is 2 MΩ.
WARNING: USE ONLY THE 24 VDC / 3A ADAPTER THAT THE 44 MAGNUM
COMES SUPPLIED WITH. Do not us any oth r adapt rs. Using oth r
adapt rs, v n thos mad by El ctro-Harmonix, could caus harm to th
unit, th adapt r or you. Th 44 MAGNUM do s not us batt ri s.
WARNING: THE 44 MAGNUM IS A POWER AMP, NOT AN EFFECTS PEDAL. DO NOT
co ect the output of the 44 MAGNUM to the i put of a other amplifier, effects
pedal, mixer, computer, computer i terface or other similar device. Co ect the
output of the 44 MAGNUM to a 8 -16
Ω
speaker cabi et ONLY.

8 – 16 Ω OUTPUT Jack – Connect the 44 MAGNUM’s OUTPUT jack directly
to a speaker cabinet. 8 Ω - 16 Ω only.
WARNING: NEVER CONNECT THE OUTPUT O THE 44 MAGNUM TO THE
INPUT O ANOTHER AMPLI IER, AN E ECTS PEDAL, MIXER, COMPUTER,
COMPUTER INTER ACE OR OTHER SIMILAR DEVICE.
We recommend using a speaker cable between the 44 MAGNUM and speaker
cabinet as you would with any power amplifier, though you can get away
with using an instrument cable if absolutely necessary. The impedance of the
speaker cabinet must be rated between 8 Ω and 16 Ω (Ω = ohms). 8 Ω is
the ideal load for the 44 MAGNUM. Additionally the speaker cabinet must
have a power rating equal to or greater than the 44 MAGNUM’s output
power capability. We recommend a speaker cabinet with at least a 50W peak
rating (or 25W RMS).
WARNING: Make sure the 44 MAGNUM’s output is connected to a speaker
cabinet before applying power.
24VDC/3A POWER Jack – Connect the output plug from the 44
MAGNUM’s supplied power supply to the power jack at the top of the unit.
Only use the power supply that the 44 MAGNUM was supplied with. The 44
MAGNUM requires a power supply capable of delivering at least 2A (more
available current is better) at exactly 24 VDC. DO NOT EXCEED 24 VDC ON
THE POWER JACK, doing so will damage the 44 MAGNUM. DO NOT
CONNECT AN AC POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE TO THE 44 MAGNUM, USE DC
POWER ONLY. The polarity of the power jack is center positive.
-WARNINGS (PLEASE READ!!!)-
THE 44 MAGNUM IS A POWER AMP, NOT AN EFFECTS PEDAL:
Connect the output of the 44 MAGNUM to a speaker cabinet only. DO NOT
CONNECT THE OUTPUT O THE 44 MAGNUM TO THE INPUT O ANOTHER
AMPLI IER, E ECTS PEDAL, MIXER, COMPUTER, COMPUTER INTER ACE or
similar device.
SPEAKER CABINET: Only plug the output of the 44 MAGNUM into a
speaker cabinet rated for an impedance in the range of 8 Ω to 16 Ω (8 to 16
ohms); the speaker cabinet power rating should be 50W peak rating (or 25W
RMS).
OUTPUT FIRST THEN POWER: Connect the output of the 44 MAGNUM to
a proper speaker cabinet before applying power to the 44 MAGNUM. If you
connect the 44 MAGNUM to a speaker cabinet while it is powered up, the 44
MAGNUM may automatically mute its output to prevent a short circuit on the
output jack. In this situation simply remove power from the 44 MAGNUM,
wait a few seconds and then re-apply power to the 44 MAGNUM, it should
work normally.
