Calibration CurrentLover
madbeanpedals
• Calibration of the Current Lover is pretty easy. It’s best if you have an audio probe but it’s not
required.
• Before you begin, make sure you have the PCB jumpers set correctly for your BBD type and
voltage supply. Set the controls as follows:
RATE @ 0
RANGE @ 50%
FDBK @ 0
VOL @ 50%
SWITCH @ left
LIMIT @ 0
BIAS @ 50%
CLOCK about 1/3rd up.
1. Using your guitar or signal source at the effect input, audio probe pin3 of IC2 to confirm you have
audio input to the BBD. Now probe either pin7 or 8 of IC2 and adjust the BIAS trim until you have
the cleanest output possible. It’s usually around the middle. If you are not using an audio probe,
simply listen to the effect output instead.
2. Turn the FDBK control all the way up. Adjust the LIMIT trimmer until just before you get any self-
oscillation. Try different RANGE and RATE settings to verify you have no oscillation at any setting.
3. Leaving the FDBK and RANGE controls all the way up, adjust the CLOCK trim to the point
just before you hear any “chirps” at the peaks of the flange sweep. Adjust the RATE control as
necessary to verify there’s no chirp at any of the RATE, RANGE, or FDBK settings.
4. Toggle the switch to the right position. Now you are in manual mode (filter matrix). You should
hear the fixed flanger change its notch as you adjust the RANGE control from 0 to 100. The RATE
control is disabled in Matrix mode.
You’re done!
If you switch between BBD or voltage supplies, your CLOCK and LIMIT trimmers will have to be
adjusted using the same procedure described above. IOW, one setting does not fit all! For 18v/
MN3007 I had to adjust my CLOCK trim pretty close to the maximum setting. For 9v, it was more
around 50%.
