Let's see your PEDAL BOARD!

[skullservant]

Hahah I shouldn't/did really have the funds to buy it but I didn't want to miss out on it so I made it happen. My favorite overdrive, paired with my favorite enclosure size = double win! Thanks all around dudes

[Achtane]

Hnnng been semi-GASing for a Percolator for a while now, but it all depends on...
Is it any good on bass?

My own HP is a NOS clone down to the enclosure and sliders, built by Chuck Collins.

Yes, It can be killer with bass, but does sound like there's some bottom-end rolloff as the aggression really cuts through.
It has high clarity and touch response is VERY sensitive even when gtr-vol is rolled back.
Strings scream even when slightly disturbed, and really roar when raked.

It also sounds great with drum machines & samplers; it just really wants to be first in the chain and *see* whatever the source instrument happens to be.

One of my best purchases, f'sho; it's so fun to play.
Guaranteed to light up your face the first time you feel a taste of its power.

GUHHHHHHH

Well now I want a HP quite a lot. THANKS RUSTYWIRE. Who makes clones?

[Tristan]

Some English Dude based in London, not too expensive either I think, Fredric Effects: www.fredric.co.uk

I'd be happy to build you one

[rustywire]

You'll thank me later, f'real.
Your wallet? not so much...

Got my [Chuck Collins] HP secondhand for $180ish, spring 2012...I think new they were around $280...and now they're suddenly going for $335.

I'd like to get ahold of as many clones as possible to compare.
It's one of 2 dirt boxes to survive the purge in the aftermath of transitioning from a MV SF Fender's sparkly clean base tone to the Selmer's gritty, non-master foundation.
It likes all kinds of amps and axes, and really retains a lot of your base tone's character...but transparent it is NOT!

[skullservant]

And from what I can tell, every single one sounds different. I've had one that I made for myself, and now I have the Bukowski one, and they sound TOTALLY different

[timhulio]

Oh hai guys.

If you check the hfe and leakage of the 2N404(A) - or whatever PNP germanium transistor you're using - you can get them to sound pretty consistent. That's the only part with significant variation. I like hfe of 50-60 for the vintage spec perc, and higher for those with silicon clipping diodes.

[skullservant]

Interesting and good to know!

[Scruffie]

Also not to mention that there's a load of different schematics out there so it may actually be two different pedals inside.

Dude. Both of those boards kickass

No shame in yo game, welcome aboard.

srsly.

at some point i wast to do a small board that won't terrify the Average Joe at jams. Distortion+->Tone Reaper->Cosmichorus->Pleasure Trem 3000->Dispatch Master. i'd have to buy the Cosmi and Dispatch Master, which rules it out until income is a factor again. i'd really like a flanger as well, but most flangers don't appeal to me at all. i suppose i could schlep the rack along, which has enough flanging to make Davy Jones puke in his locker (GEP50, SPX90, MidiVerb II), but that raises a whole other set of issues.

You can get some flanger-ish sounds out of the CC V3 man!
I've even got some border-line octave sounds.

that is a really odd statement.
if you'd really like one haven't you found one you like?
