Mod idea for Blue magic

[hilbi]

I had some problems with the higher gain settings of the blue magic, i found this too muddy and i was getting lost in the mix.

Too solve this i made half of C2 switchable, i used 2 * 3,3uF capacitors. One always on and the other one switchable.

This way i had full bass on low gain settings and i could cut off some bass at higher gain settings. Tubescreamer like. I also raised the switchable mid boost cap to 1nF, to go for a real tubescreamer like sound


This makes the blue magic very versatile.

Or how about a dual-gang drive pot, with the second element in series with one of the 3.3uf's? Anybody know if that would work?  (I vaguely recall Jake trying something similar with his now-lost Clean Machine, to "harmonize" settings that work with low and high gain.)

ben, sounds like a cool idea, i read the klon centaur does that somewhere...
