I've got a Frederic Effects clone. http://www.fredric.co.uk/effects/harmonic-percolator I have the blue one. It's well made and has a couple of settings I really love. It was a smooth transaction, I don't have any hesitation recommending ordering from them.
Like most people, I haven't played an original so I can't compare. I don't play an aluminum neck guitar into a super trebley amp so I can't say how well it does the Shellac thing.
I like it either set at a lower gain, overdrivey kind of setting or way up so it sounds like a chain-link fence.
I also like using it to push a Musket. It stacks pretty well with a lot of things.

it probably sounds good but Chuck Collins is a dick who gets eBay listings for clones pulled (he owns the trademark) and not only that but his replica makes it very annoying to find an original Interfax pedal :rant:

We've all jones'd for one of these at some point. I bought this http://www.etsy.com/listing/10929664/ha ... rfax-exact a few years back. It was kiinda cool but, like many i would suspect, found it to be largely a one trick pony and flipped it. But by all means try one yourself!

I ordered one earlier this week! Will try to report back after I get the thing built. Between Small Bear and Mammoth, I think I've sourced the right parts. Hopefully I won't melt a diode or anything.

I have it now and it fulfills all my Fuzz needs for one of my bands. One of the two pedals I use for that jank. I love it!
