MBP Current lover 2024

The mighty mistress is complete! Started on this over a year ago and it’s been an adventure.

First I mis-drilled and scrapped an enclosure, then @jwyles90 had a flanger emergency while MBP was out of stock so I sent him my pcb. He grabbed one when Bean restocked and got it out to me so I could try again. I managed to get the holes in the right places this time, but I did mess up the jack labeling. Apparently this one puts out 9v audio. 🤦‍♂️

This was a cool limited run color from stompboxparts “peacock ore” I think. The sparkle got much more subtle after I hit it with a matte clear coat, but still looks cool.

Big thanks to @JohnnyCreepy for the assist on the switch wiring plan. The layout he suggested is pretty slick.

I kinda rushed through the trimmer adjustments, but it mostly works and sounds good across a pretty wide range, so I might not sweat it too much. There is a note that says to adjust the clock trimmer until you don’t get any chirps. I couldn’t get anything that sounded like a chirp to happen at any setting, so I just dialed in a sound I liked and closed it up.

Nice. I got tired of waiting and picked up a used E-Lady. The next week my Current Lover shipped. I’m waiting on the build until I feel the urge. I’m still on the fence with flanger…

I wanted to find a schematic to insert a mix control for this circuit
