OVERDRIVE- EMERALD OX FX Chimeric Percolator ... neither a Fuzz or an OD, no bull!!!

 EMERALD OX FX CHIMERIC PERCOLATOR 

NEED TO KNOW SH@T

INTERFAX HARMONIC PERCOLATOR

In the 70's a company called Interfax made a pedal called the Harmonic Percolator. The companies main business was making  analog electric office machines. Things like an adding machine. They went out of biz a few years later when the first of the digital calculators hit the market. Yes, and I do mean the calculators the dollar store sells, lol. 

OK ...I actually made all of that up.

But it more interesting than a repair guy from Wisconsin called Ed Guise with an electronics repair shop having a clever idea. It was to use both a Germanium and a silicon together instead of a pair or the same transistors. The result was very crude. The Uni-Vibe was meant to sound like a Leslie tone cabinet with rotating speakers and it doesn't. 

$150.00 USD

My point is that like the UniVibe the Percolator is just totally its own thing.

Ol' Ed was said to have his lights left on but no one was home. He sold from his shop and a few local stores and simply vaporized after a few years.

EMERALD OX FX CHIMERIC PERCOLATOR

Every 3 or 4 years someone reinvents the pedal and once the curious and nut bars like me have one sales tank and it's gone again, lol.

The layout has 4 toggles and 8 knobs. I will not write a 10 page manual to explain what they do. Why??? Because there is nothing on the site but several paragraphs of baffle-gab about it, LOL. Since it only would 'need' two knobs like the original to function than I simply have to say "WTF !!!"

CONCLUSION

Well one knob or 50 in the end if a pedal sounds killer, then WTF!!! 

It takes home first place in the home made cookie back off at the Fall Fair.  

The pedal sounds great. Love it!!!

If you are having a bad day go to Emerald Ox and read the entire site. 

It is worth the price admission. But if admission is free does that mean...???

I will have to get back to you on that one.

the fine print

As you all know I am down sizing

my board so I am waiting on the

soon to be released mini pedal.
