Current Lover - modded - TZF

Here's a Current Lover with several mods to the circuit, mainly, an MN3009 BBD. I re-routed the bias control and adjusted the LM324 voltage out on pin 1, so now the bias of the BBD is adjusted by the 1458, just like the first versions of the Electric Mistress. The clock frequency is hard set by resistors, as well as the feedback trim. A few other resistors and capacitors have been changed/omitted as well to more closely match the original V2 schematic. It's running at 12v and really gives that vintage 70's flanger vibe. Surprisingly, it's very quiet, even through it's maximum sweep, thanks to the MN3009's S/N being around 88db :D.

Decals are way too difficult for me. I'm amazed at the work people on this site can do with them. I use simple shipping label semi-clear sheets, and run them through my inkjet. So it's basically just a big sticker. They can take clear coat just fine if you want a gloss look.

genius. looks amazing and kudos on remapping the PCB to accomodate the '09

That is awesome. Love the original look also.

That looks great! The knobs and label are perfect. Which brand/product# are those stickers you use?

They're Avery #18665. It's really easy to damage them after they come out of the printer, so I usually let the ink dry overnight.

Great looking build inside and out.  Hooray for tayda jacks!

Thanks, Lars! I'll definitely check them out. And thanks for the tip, too!

I've since modded the circuit to remove the clock buffer, being that it's unnecessary with an MN3009. The clock pin capacitance is way lower than an MN3007. I've also experimented with the SND/RTN TZF loop using a modded BF-2, and was able to achieve through zero flanging :D.
