Huge Amp Sound, Pint-sized Package!

Can you really put a gig-worthy amp right on your pedalboard? Thanks to Electro-Harmonix, you can! The incredible (and incredibly compact) 44 Magnum guitar amp head squeezes a true 44-watt amplifier into a tough stompbox-style body. The 44 Magnum doesn't simply give you power to run your favorite cabinet; turn it up and it actually gives you great-sounding overdrive - just what you'd expect from a real amp head! The 44 Magnum also includes a brightness switch that lets you choose more high-end definition. If you're looking for a super-portable amp solution or want a premium-quality backup for your existing amp, then you can't go wrong with the 44 Magnum!
Note: This device is intended to drive a speaker cabinet and should not be placed in front of an amplifier or pedals.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Electro Harmonix 44 watt Amp Pedal

Wow! What a beast of a little pedal size amp. I bought it on a whim & was fully ready to be disappointed. I was surprised that it really does come close to being 44 watts. It is perfect to be tucked away in your gig bag for emergencies. I was also surprised at the amount of head room it had. Tonelly, it was far better than I expected.
by GreatVanzini from Salem, OR on

Amazing little powerhouse!

I bought this as a backup for my tube amp. I have a cheap Joyo American sound pedal in front of it as a preamp, a mini reverb after that, then the 44 Mag. This group of pedals is mounted on a small board that I can place between my pedal board and speaker. I've only used it in practice so far, but it sounds pretty much like my 60w tube combo. And the whole thing fits easily into a small laptop bag. I have no doubt that this will get me through a gig should my amp ever fail.

Perfect when FOH isn’t an option

Bought this to run my quad cortex into my recto cab for our full band practices and gigs when only vocals are mic'd. To be short it works and sounds perfectly fine. However my presets did lose the bass which is to be expected going from a hifi setup such as studio monitors now into a real cab with its own eq range. Also it's LOUD, the first 8th turn goes from barely audible to getting the cops called on you. Mind you that's the clean zone, from there it breaks up but that's not what I bought it for. It costs less than other power amps and does just as well. 5/5 would recommend.

Great!!!

I read a lot about this little pedal before purchasing. A lot of people say that there is a real bad hiss when using it and I disagree. I feel it is no different than cranking a "real" amp. Once I found the sweet spot for my Headrush MX5, I was amazed! My signal chain is MX5-.44- an old fender 112 at it is versatile and clean. High gain to acoustic sim. Glad I went with my gut!

EHX 44 Magnum is an amp that defies everything!

I got the EHX 44 Magnum a couple days ago, and I have to say, it is the single best amp I have ever tried.

I play a mixture of styles, everything from thrash metal, melodic death metal, progressive metal, and doom metal, and it keeps up extremely well, with tons of headroom, way more than enough volume, and such an easy, user-friendly layout. This thing, granted my pedalboard with various distortions and fuzzes are the main source of my dirty tone, is so loud that I know it'll be great and will keep up well with live performances.

I was looking for a power amp to use with a homemade cabinet, and I kept getting unlucky, with every other amp having too much wattage or not supporting 8 ohms speakers. The EHX 44 Magnum was exactly what I needed, and it happens to be really loud (I can't say it enough and I'm going to continue saying it). The sheer power this thing has is absolutely incredible. I thought I would be slightly underwhelmed by the lack of power that I thought it would have, but I was absolutely wrong. This thing, even clean, is so loud and so heavily emphasized on volume with transparency that I had to actually turn it down some, which in my eyes is a good problem to have, or even a non-problem.

I run this amp into a 1x12 speaker cabinet that operates at 80 watts at 8 ohms. This tiny, pedal-sized amp, despite being 44 watts, can run the speaker cabinet and overdrive it a little, giving it some very slight crackle to it (and no, my speaker is not damaged at all), even at low volumes, which are still loud.

Due to the sheer volume this has, the pedalboard-friendliness, and the individual gear requirements I needed for my rig, this amp is a keeper. Thanks EHX and thanks Sweetwater!
