Make sure to put a buffered pedal in front of it 💅🏻

Here's a quick run through of the Topographer. Only mod is R4 isd 33k instead of 47k. The other footswitch just swaps out the Volume pot and puts a 1MA pot inline with R4 So, not super clangy on its own, but it does sound dope (Need to figure out the switch pop. Video kinda shows it, but it's...

Yep, basically the same scheme as the Life Pedal The other way (perc into ringer) can sound okay, but it's generally too shrill

Just gonna post my notes instead of listing everything out Was curious to see how it'd sound if I replaced all the gyrator values with those from the Boss HM-2 where applicable. I like the results. Things heavy and noisy as ass straight from heck. Though it doesn't do the same sorta buzzsaw as...

Minimal mods to this one, but here goes C1, C3, C5, and C9 are all 27n R3 is 2.2k (didn't feel like digging for 2k) R4 and R9 are omitted C4 and C6 are 100p C7 is 2.2u D1 and D2 are Red and IR LEDs respectively C8 is 4.7n C11 is 560n R13 is 470R Dirt (Slam) is 1MD D4 is a Red LED C16 is 4.7n...

Another Percolator borrowing the values from @Aleph Null's Peacock Dirt (Harmonics) is 100kD with a 4.7k stopper resistor on Lug 1 to ground C2 is 47n C3 is 2.2u C4 is 22uf C6 is 2.2u R1 is 470k R2 is 150k R4 is 33k Diodes are a KD221A and Red LED Transistors are 2N5087 and 2N7000 Squidward...

I've got a few of those OKCs, and a dead end order coming up 🤔 Edit to add- I consider a buffer crucial for the nasty clang. Without it, the HP is pretty dull sounding, in my opinion. A lot of people seem to overlook that Steve had an always on noise gate running into his Percolator

C3 and C6 are 2.2uf. C4 is 22uf, but you can go higher for more splatty low end One of the Diodes is a Red LED, the other is usually ~1/3 the vf of the LED

Speaking of Percs n Ringers, I've also got a do a report / demo of the Percolation Station with blendable Ringer as well

In my experiments running an HP and Rat in parallel, the Rat side (in stock configuration) easily overpowers the HP. It's more the huge mid spike than just volume I used the MAE Utility Blender board, it's JFET based. The Scabbard is definitely Rat like. Doesn't get quite as fuzzy and unhinged...

This is an awesome circuit, great for fixed flange / filter matrix, but it will not do the clang. If you're able, try a TL070 or 71, and replace one of the LEDs with a standard silicon (currently my favorite take on the Rat) The Topographer is a good choice, but not having the full four band...

Yeah, basically. If you dial out any 2 of the 3 bands, it acts similarly to a typical parametric eq

Muff into Rat is also tasty and massive (please excuse the raw dawg)- That's a Fuzz War (red led) and Hizumitas into a Turbo Rat at half gain

Correct

OP updated with a demo
