Title: Current lover
Post by: robrhy on November 18, 2014, 03:23:49 PM
How do you wire up the current lover without the DPDT filter ?

Do you just want the Flanger?

If so, then you could just omit the switch and hard wire the switch pads on the PCB to mimic the connections made while in Flanger mode. Pretty simple actually... if that is what you are wanting  ;)

Yes,Flange mode only.

When looking at the build document.....

Jumper the MIDDLE LEFT hole to the BOTTOM LEFT hole. Also....

Jumper the MIDDLE RIGHT hole to the BOTTOM RIGHT hole.

This is when looking at the DPDT switch hole pattern on Page 1 of the build doc.

EDIT: Keep in mind that a lot of the set up and alignment needs to be done in the Filter mode.

So would it be better to leave the switch in until the board is biased,then remove it ?

Honestly, I would defer to the build doc. If you feel comfortable doing it AFTER hard wiring to flange mode then by all means... go ahead. Otherwise... put in the switch for the alignment then remove it.

Up to you and what you feel comfortable with.

If you're using a frequency counter, as long as you measure at the slowest sweep when setting the clock, should be close enough, just makes it a little trickier as you have to wait for the sweep to get to the bottom every time you adjust.

If you're doing it by ear anyway, I don't think you'll notice much difference between setting up in flange or matrix mode.
