The MAGNIFICO Artur Menezes Signature is a handmade, fully analog dual boost pedal from the Italian maker Dophix, built as a limited edition of only 10 pieces for the world market and named for the brand's signature artist, Artur Menezes. It is sold out.1

The pedal carries two independent boost circuits, Boost A and Boost B, each with its own Level control, and each can be activated separately. Dedicated IN A / OUT A and IN B / OUT B jacks keep the two sides completely separated, so the pedal can sit in two different parts of a signal chain at once, or run one side into the other for a stacked boost. Dophix says carefully selected vintage-grade resistors and components create a warm, defined, and characterful sound, handmade with discrete, high-quality components for maximum clarity and musical warmth.1

A limited run named for Il Magnifico

Dophix offers the MAGNIFICO as an Artur Menezes Signature limited edition, with only 10 pieces made for the world market, and the pedal is listed as sold out. Like the rest of the MAGNIFICO line, it is a dual independent boost pedal built around two circuits, Boost A and Boost B, each with its own Level control and activated separately.1

The pedal is a limited edition of only 10 pieces made for the world market, and the maker's product page lists it as sold out.1

Two independent boost circuits

The Magnifico's layout is built around two separate boost paths rather than a single circuit with switching options1:

  • Boost A with its own Level control, activated separately
  • Boost B with its own Level control, activated separately
  • Dedicated jacks for each side: IN A / OUT A and IN B / OUT B, for complete signal separation1

Because each side has its own input and output, the two boosts can be placed in different spots on a board, or one side can feed the other for a larger combined push. Dophix describes the pedal as a dual independent boost, and the fully analog circuit means the Level controls shape how hard each side drives what comes after it.1

Dophix builds the MAGNIFICO as a dual independent boost pedal, with two circuits, Boost A and Boost B, each with its own Level control and activated separately. Dedicated IN A / OUT A and IN B / OUT B jacks ensure complete signal separation, and the maker describes the sound as warm, defined, and characterful, from carefully selected vintage-grade resistors and components. The Dophix MAGNIFICO dual boost and Dophix Magnifico pages cover the pedal under its own name.1
