Y'all know about Wire Instruments? He put together a take on a Percolator called the 665 Drive. I ordered one.

"And lastly, digging into that run of modded Harmonic Percolator pedals that feature twin low gain germanium transistors, a saturation control, and LEDs (borrowed from it’s distant relative, the ProCo Turbo Rat) in place of the standard diodes. Unlike the original, unity gain happens at 9:00 and this thing gets loud."

One of the earliest Percolator clones that I can remember (aside from the Chuck Collins/Interfax):

Good crap do I hate the proximity of the knobs to the switch on that thing. I'd be stepping all over knobs every time.

Yep, form follows "function" there. Gotta make sure the graphics look good first. :lol:

Also, don't know how this sounds, but the graphics are kinda cute :idk: :

That Vaderin perc sounds real good. They've got a demo that is kind of interactive - you can flip switches, change the gain. Super cool.

I got the Electrofoods Pigpile and I think it comes closest to the recorded Albini sound of any perc I've spent time with. The bright preamp setting is what does it.

Liking the Vaderin - don't really bother with the alternate clipping diodes, sounds great with the normal setup.
