Auto Feedback Reduction (AFR) Function The MAGICSTOMP is equipped with a highly sophisticated Auto Feedback Reduction function (AFR) to eliminate feedback (howling). * In this case, “Feedback” is when a specific frequency produced by the amplifier causes the bass to resonate uncontrollably, creating a howling sound. The MAGICSTOMP’s AFR function uses a notch filter, which cuts the frequency that is causing the feedback, to eliminate feedback.
Auto Feedback Reduction (AFR) Function ■ Using the AFR Function After you have switched ON (activated) the AFR function using the procedure described on the previous page, the “«” edit icon will appear for patches that can use the AFR function (patches that have their effect type set to “AcousticMulti”).
