Blue Magic built

[Thomas P.]

Hey folks,
just wanted to share a pic of my new bluemagic. We don't need to talk about sound cause everyone knows it sounds great.

Okay, so what does the "Magic" control do?

I don't know who came up with it but it is the resistor R11 at the output wich can soften out things (or not).  It is described as a more open sound with R11 reduced.

I'm green with envy; although perhaps the LED should have been at the end of his staff.

Cool!

Yeah - and it should be a blue one (damn)

If you use a pot for R11, it's like a 2nd "tone" control.  The tone control kills highs, R11 kills highs even more, depending on where you set it.

Nice work!  
I like that Blue Magic circuit quite a lot.

The idea was floating around here some time. I think it belongs to Charlie (by the way I haven't seen him posting much lately). It's t-shirt transfer stuff and the grafics are done with photoshop. Just print it and iron it onto the box - works nicely!!!

Just out of curiosity did you the layout found the General Guitar Gadgets site? The reason I am asking is I never got the mid boost switch to work and so I was curious if you did something a little different with it. Also how noticable of a change does it make?

Yes 4 to 5 times.

No, I did my own one. The problem with the switch doesn't belong to the layout. It's about the setup you use. With some it's audible with others not. Mine has very little effect.

[joshwatson]

do you have any sound clips?  it would be cool to get a couple one with the magic off and the other with the magic halfway to full.  thanks

WOW ! you've got a real "Lord of the rings" thing going on there  V-NICE !!
I need to improve my painting skills after my "purple Alligator" episode!!

I was looking at my Blue Magic with my scope last night. That mid boost switch definitely has an effect on the signal, you can see it on the scope. Actually hearing a difference is another story, though. With my usual setup, I can't hear much of a difference. But, I think it does depend on your setup, like tomboy says. I usually don't have too many mids in my tone, it gets EQed down a little bit...
