Hi all,

I built a "Blue Magic" OD from the info on the net a few years back and I love it - nice pedal.

I read recently somewhere that its a copy of a "swedish boutique pedal" - but does anyone know what it is ????

I pretty sure this was an original design by Jake Nagy.
Not 100% but it's more likely that if there is such a Swedish boutique pedal it is a copy of of the Blue Magic :wink: Check Ampage archives Jake was active there.
Look at the progression / improvements to the circuits https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic ... agy#p19625

Also there seems to have been an issue with the original NAME of the circuit. "Originally released on 2/28/01 under a different name, but changed to the current name to avoid confusion with a commercial pedal." Could be some confusion still?
