Christmas Day build.
As I continue exploring guitar pedal circuits, I finally made a stop at the Harmonic Percolator recently. A sound that is grimy and grating, yet has an interesting clarity to it.
Last month I made my first percolator. I ordered the Antithesis PCB soon after. Nine times out of ten, I prefer the Si version of a circuit over the Ge one, so I’ve been looking forward to this.
Really simple build. First pass, I populated it with the Ge BOM by mistake, so I had to replace some components. For Q1 I went with the people’s PNP, the 2N3906.
I immediately liked this more. It’s easy to dial in a variety of good tones. I’m thinking of auditioning it on my pedal board for a few weeks.
