Went on an adventure through youtube and found a demo video of this awesome pedal.

its called black magic drive by crazy tube circuits. There website gives a quick over view of whats going on underneath it all but nothing too in depth. Anyone ever hear of them or know anything about it? Seems like a fun build.
Here's what it used to be called, before they put a graphic on the box. ;)

so its just a modded Dr Boogie then? Strange, I have a Dr Boogie but mine sounds no where as good as that one. I wonder what they changed.

Maybe they changed nothing!? Do they tell you what they plugged it in?
Good and pretty versatile overdrive. Nothing really outstanding.
Yeah it's plugged into a dr z amp. Idk for some reason this one seems to sign more and sound better than other dr boogies I've seen/heard

Maybe the others weren't plugged into Dr.Z amps, they tend to be good sounding amps.
So sorry for replying after a year and a half but it's been long since i logged in and just found this post by accident
Yap Black Magic is based on Doctor Boogey. Crazy Tube Circuits is the brand name i use for my designs... It's been modded a little by adding 2 extra jfets after the eq emulating the response of the power amp and a couple of value changes to give the freq response i was happy with...
It is slightly lower gain than the original stuff with a touch of the earlier boogie sounds ;-)

We are in the presence of greatness. Christos/electrictabs designed the Dr Boogey:

If Christos had a $ for every Boogey that's been DIY'ed.......
I'm in awe, right now! :o After I read Rick's reply, and having read the link he posted, I'm pretty much surprised!
Let me explain. :) I met Christos in person last year (in a music gear expo, here in Greece), shortly after I got into DIY. I tried some of his pedals, including the Black Magic (really great stuff, by the way! If you haven't already, you should check his site.), we talked (he's a really great guy! :D) and I told that I started building pedals, too. But, although I did know the Dr.Boogey project (and all the fuss of how great it sounds), I didn't know that in front of me, I had the man who designed one of the most popular DIY effects.
So, Chris, thank you! If we meet again, I'll thank you in person! ;)
