I have just a general question about this build. I built this for a buddy that primarily plays bass. When engaged it seems to cut out alot of low end. I'm guessing that having the feedback set high this would happen but even at lower feedback settings this seems to remain true. Is this standard for this circuit? If so, are there any mods I can do to improve the bass response?
 
I'm a bass player and I use flangers often. I like them stock. If you want more low-end, a blend control would probably be best. That's pretty much the best solution for adapting any effect to bass. GuitarPCB has a buff-n-blend add-on that I have used for adapting drive circuits to bass.

Awesome. I'm gonna try to swap some caps.. if that doesn't work I'll probably add the blend control. Thanks for your input
 
I don’t know specifically about the current lover, but I’ve found with flangers that switching the BBD out for one with more stages makes it better for bass— iirc each doubling of the number of stages brings the notches in the sweep down an octave. If it’s using a MN3209 (256 stage BBD) try an MN3207 (1024 stage BBD), or if you can find one an MN3204 (512 stage BBD). If it’s using an MN3207, try out an MN3208 (2048 stage BBD).
