FUZZ- VADERIN PEDALS HP-X Harmonic Percolator ....a classic with a twist

 VADERIN PEDALS HP-X HARMONIC PERCOLATOR 
$150.00 USD

In the early 70's Ed Guise made a Fuzz a germanium PNP and a silicon NPN transistors. They are not meant for audio so it was an odd idea. The transistors only survived obsolesce as they are the guts of solar panels. 
The pedal boosts even order harmonics. They are the harmonics directly related to the notes you play. For example if you play an 'A' you could get a 'D' harmonic but not a 'D' flat. With any normal Fuzz a few 'D' flats would be more than likely. It is why with a modern insanely distorted Fuzz is all but unusable to play a chord with due to all 
those odd order harmonics. 
The layout is simple with volume gain and a choice of clipping including asymmetrical if you want that normal Fuzz odd order harmonics thrown into the mix.
CONCLUSION
This is NOT a real 'Perc' Fuzz for 
the purist but it does captures the 
vibe and the extras really are big 
time usable. You can choose 
between silver, pink, blue, 
citrus green or yellow.
