MAGICIAN INFINIUMBoutique-Style All-Valve
Guitar ComboBoutique-Style 85-Watt 3-Channel Valve Combo with INFINIUM Valve Life Multiplier, Multi-Class A/AB Operation and VARIPOWER
The supernatural power of the 85-Watt
MAGICIAN INFINIUM is built to satisfy
even the most discerning tone chaser.
Its unbelievable array of tonal options will
take you on a tonal tour of the greatest
amplifi er personalities to ever emerge
from California. With three channels,
multiple class modes (Class-A or combined
Class A/AB), Varipower (adjustable output
power from 1 - 85 Watts), switchable triode/
pentode operation, a multitude of EQ
controls, and our incredible INFINIUM Valve
Life Multiplier technology, the MAGICIAN
is like having a truckload of neo-vintage
amps—all in one!
Variable Voodoo
It all starts with a three-channel
preamp design (Rhythm 1, Rhythm 2, Lead)
featuring 4 x 12AX7 valves, producing
everything from vintage clean to killer
crunch. On the back panel, fl ick a switch to
select PENTODE for a clear, powerful punch
or TRIODE for a classic, mellow sound.
Next, select either CLASS A mode for a
bright, chiming tone that pushes easily
into overdrive, or MULTI-CLASS mode to
combine the Class A sound with the tight,
punchy tone of Class AB amplifi ers.
What is Varipower?
There’s nothing like the roaring
“soft-clip” sound of saturated power valves,
but these tones are normally accessible
only when an amp’s volume is cranked.
Unfortunately, this kind of volume isn’t an
option when you’re jamming away in your
apartment at 3:00 am, or if you’re gigging
in a tiny club. That’s why the MAGICIAN
features the Varipower rotary control,
which adjusts output power anywhere
from 1 to 85 Watts. Whether you’re trying
to record a searing solo without waking
the neighbors, or blowing the roof off the
biggest gig of your life, the MAGICIAN
is always ready to provide the sound of
overdriven valve fury.

Features
Equalization Alchemy
The MAGICIAN’s vast EQ controls
puts your signature tone well within
reach. All three channels feature
a three-band EQ (bass, mid, treble),
and individual PRESENCE controls to
adjust high-end clarity. Meanwhile, a
multitude of switches give you access
to countless tones: PHAT adds mid-
range thickness to the RHYTHM 2 and
LEAD channels, SHIFT aff ects the feedback
loop and midrange sound of the RHYTHM
2 and LEAD channels, and the BRIGHT
switch adds additional brilliance to the
LEAD channel. A 5-band graphic equalizer
rounds out all these tone-shaping options.
Eff ectively Magic
Your favorite stomp boxes will integrate
seamlessly with the MAGICIAN via the
built-in eff ects loop. This feature’s on/
off status can be stored for each channel
and recalled each time the channel
is activated. And of course, we didn’t
forget to include onboard digital reverb.
To further enhance performance, the
MAGICIAN comes with a six-button
BUGERA FSB106 foot controller for remote
on/off switching of REVERB, FX LOOP and
GRAPHIC EQ, as well as switching between
the three preamp channels—which is even
possible through the onboard MIDI input.
On the Outs…
The MAGICIAN comes loaded with
a Neo-Vintage 12" BUGERA speaker,
handmade in the same factory as the
amplifi er. This tight transducer provides
the tone character of vintage Alnico
speakers and an incredible high sensitivity
at a mere fraction of the typical guitar
speaker’s weight. But there are several
ways to route the signal whether you’re
out rocking the clubs or recording in
the studio. The SLAVE DI output sends a
signal out to additional amplifi ers or other
processors, and its LEVEL knob controls the
output signal. A RECORDING output sends
a conditioned signal directly to a recording
console, and also features a LEVEL knob for
controlling the output signal volume.
INFINIUM Valve Life Multiplier
Technology
Our revolutionary INFINIUM Valve Life
Multiplier technology is like having your
very own technician inside your amp
constantly monitoring and tweaking valve
performance for the ultimate in tonal
integrity and reliability. This revolutionary
circuit not only optimizes the performance
of each output tube, it dynamically
balances the drive between them to more
evenly distribute the load. With INFINIUM,
your tubes last up to 20 times longer,
saving you substantial money over the
lifespan of your amplifi er. INFINIUM also
compensates for the eff ects of aging,
automatically adjusting current levels to
keep your valves sounding as good as the
day they were installed.
If and when a valve does reach the end
of its life, the system even tells you which
one to replace. All you need do is replace
the faulty valve and let INFINIUM take care
of the rest for you. This all adds up to more
consistent sound quality and longer life for
your valves. Maintenance for valve amps
has never been this easy!
