Synamodec - Magnetar
- Order number: 240638
Synamodec Magnetar — A Constellation of Noise in the Deep Space of Distortion.
The Synamodec Magnetar looks like something that fell from a mysterious spacecraft conceived during the heyday of 1950's panavision — a black box adorned with a starburst pattern and cryptically named controls. GIG? NXPTD? HUE? FOG? Nobody really knows, but that's half the fun.
Inside this enigmatic device, signals flow in the following sequence: distortion > into fuzz > into delay. The first stage brings Hue and Tone controls for shaping your initial distortion, with a dedicated switch for altering the Hue's character. The following fuzz section adds Level, Gain, Dist 2, and the mysteriously named Fog parameter, taking your signal further into the void of harmonic chaos…
An LFO sits at the center of operations, modulating the delay's GIG parameter while a feedback system lets signals loop back through the circuit. The NXPTD control fine-tunes the delay's feedback behavior, while a Dry/Wet knob balances the effect. Keep your input levels around 1Vpp - this beast can get wild, especially when feedback starts to build up.
Both an On/Off switch and a separate Bypass are included. If you're after warm saturation or screaming feedback mayhem, Magnetar is sure to deliver. Just remember - like any good cosmic anomaly, it responds best when you take the time to explore its gravitational pull, ie — keep an eye on that input level!
Features:
- Dual distortion/fuzz stages in series
- LFO modulation with frequency and level controls
- Delay section with feedback control
- Tone/EQ control for shaping distortion character
- Hue controls for both distortion and fuzz sections ("Hue" and "Fog")
- Variable input level controls for both stages
- Bypass switch
- Wet/Dry mix control for delay
- Feedback system capable of self-oscillation
- 28V DC power supply operation
- Kryptic labels part of the fun!

Magnetar @Synamodec
A brainchild of engineer Miguel Garcia Blkanca, Synamodec stands for old-school analog designs with a modern twist. Fat Oscillators and tasty filters that don't cost a fortune are fundamental parts of Synamodec's philosophy.
