Title: 2015 Current lover power supply question
Post by: LaceSensor on November 27, 2017, 01:55:40 PM
Hi

Can the 2015 layout of the current lover be run on 15v from a charge pump, like the old version?
Im 99% sure the answer is yes, but wanted to check here first.

cheers

Ian

It should work up to 12v without any issue. At 15v there might be some adjustments needed to the clock but it's been so long since I touched the CL I don't remember. But, as long as the 15v is regulated there is no harm in trying it.

cool, thanks.

Im going to dig out the old CL documents to see if there are any notes on this.

no special intructions and the schematics are really quite similar. Major difference is the output / volume control section.
It would probably be ok as you say. When I built the pre-2015 one I made it with MN3007 chip and ran at 15v sounded really neat..

It'll be fine, the vintage Deluxe used a near identical LFO & VCO and ran on 15V.
