In the 70's a rather eccentric electronics repairman Ed Guise made a dirt pedal he named the Harmonic Percolator that is like no other where it was both OD and Fuzz depending on who you asked including Ed, lol. It used 2 transistor. One was a classic germanium and was the more recent silicon and sold them from his shop and to a very few stores in and around Milwaukee. He refused to expand or to sell or licence his pedal. One day he moved and was never heard of again.
The 'Hurts' is their take on the pedal using the NOS original transistors but a
lot of updates for better build, operation and reliability. This pedal is Mick from 'Those Pedal Guys' favorite OD. According Mick he has never had an OD he
could call his favorite until this year he stumbled on the 'Hurts'.
The layout is gain, BIAS, and volume. A toggle boosts the bass and
another lets you choose either germanium or silicon clipping diodes.
CONCLUSION
It is what it is. It definitely has its own sound. I have always
wanted one but every time someone brought one out it was
out of production when I found it, LOL.

Hi, I'm looking for an alternative to the Marshall Shredmaster as I play some Radiohead stuff. Any idea? Regards
ReplyDeleteOther percolators: Drunk Beaver Secret Sauce and Catalinbread Karma Suture
ReplyDeleteAs for other Percolators most do not use a germanium transistor I am fairly sure Catalinbread doesn't. The guy that does the Drunk Beaver I know. I talked to him recently and he is in Poland and has shut down for know because of parts etc do to the War. I just finished watching a 60 Cycle Hum live stream with guy who makes Fuzz Imp who refuses to to make germanium Fuzz pedals but said you can not get a'real' sounding Perc without them. As for the Shredmaster, Perf De Castro, YouTuber and session player has only used a Shredmaster as his 'go to' for decades and decided the world needed a better one. He worked with 2 builders for a couple of years to perfect his own, The Perf De Castro BAD94. Check out my Post.
ReplyDeletesounds goof! Any difference with the mini perf de castro BAD94?
ReplyDeleteAnother shredmaster clone: TKOG’s Oxford Drive
ReplyDeleteThanx for the heads up on the TKOG. The mini BAD94 sounds a bit thinner, less mids. Check out my Post I added a comparison video.
ReplyDeleteOk. Thanks
