Electro-Harmonix44 Magnum 44W Guitar Power Amplifier
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 44-watt pedalboard power amp that turns a preamp or modeler into a rig. For players running pedal-based tones into a cab.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Driving a speaker cab from preamp or overdrive pedals
- Small stages where a head is too much to carry
- Backup amp that lives on the pedalboard
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want amp voicing or built-in gain
- Anyone needing onboard EQ, reverb, or channel switching
- Loud drummers in a large room with one cab
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Power amp only
No preamp voicing. Your tone comes entirely from what you plug into it.
Detail 03
Pedal format
Mounts on a board and runs alongside your other pedals instead of occupying a rack or head shell.
Detail 04
Electro-Harmonix build
Straightforward metal-enclosure pedal construction, sized to sit in a normal pedalboard row.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No speaker cabinet included. You supply the cab and speaker cable.
- 02Needs its own power supply; it draws far more than a standard pedal.
- 03Check your cab impedance matches before connecting anything.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I plug my guitar straight into it?
You can, but it has no preamp gain or tone shaping, so it will be quiet and flat. Run a preamp, overdrive, or modeler in front.
02Will 44 watts keep up with a drummer?
In a small to medium room with an efficient cab, yes. In a loud band or large room you may want more.
03Does it have a speaker in it?
No. It is a power amp only and requires an external speaker cabinet.
04Can I use it with a modeler?
Yes. That is a common use: modeler or preamp pedal into the 44 Magnum into a guitar cab.
