Who is building Harmonic Percolator clones out there?

I've seen the Fredric Effects version.
Saw a Montgomery Appliances version in another thread.
Barge Concepts used to build one but I think they are out of business now.
Who else builds them? Which ones have you liked best? Are there any mods to the circuit that you think improves it?

I recommend Frederic Effects. Great guy too from over yonder in shortscale.org lands. I have his Muff Fuzz clone, awesome pedal.
Must say that even though that is his trademark pedal (I would say at least) I have yet to play one.

Still loving my Montgomery Appliances Harmonic Dominator. That and the Frederic give you the option to lift the clipping diodes, which is really useful--makes for nice low gain and sparkling dirty boost toanz. Edit: Looks like the Jimmy Behan does, too.

OT, but I really like the range of the Jimmy Behan lineup--most of the classix, and quite a few of the lost gems, too.

I like his sense of style.
The original Percolator strikes me as a rather ugly thing.

Also, I am almost certain that MadeByMike has made Percolators before, too. I can't recommend his work enough.

I know that Jimmy at Baddy One Shoe makes a Percolator clone, the Hot Cup-o-Fuzz.
