COFFEE TIME, PERCOLATOR!

[Dan0h]

I love this thing!

Jimmy rigged a 91k and a 750k resistor. Looked like a guy walking his dog before I soldered & snipped. Checked it on my DMM and it was dead nuts. Very cool. Ended up with a 2n404 and a Bc108c for the transistors and two D9Ks which I was able to match 2 out of the five I had to exact. This thing sounds so fat and amazing. The fuzz goes nuts in the best way when using my neck pickup on my strat. Wish I would have built this one sooner. Enclosure was an impulse buy from a dude I ran across on the internet’s. Gear Ant. He did a cool one for Gorva, this one is just a regular 125b. Anyway, thanks again for the excellent advice forum. Learned everything I needed before starting the build. Cheers.

Whoa!! That enclosure is amazing.

 

[SYLV9ST9R]

Gorgeous! That enclosure is really something.
Great work on the build.

Very nice, enclosure looks great indeed! Faawnkeee resistor arrangement there... If you're happy with transistor choice it might be a good idea to solder them in, they might pop out otherwise at some point or get loose connection disease...

Gear Ant! Man, I love that guy's work. And I love the Percolator!

Nice work, man.

I feel like a complete idiot. I just had some time with my amp at real volumes and it wasn’t until just now that I realized the point of the “Harmonic” percolator. It actually makes Harmonics, very thick and juicy harmonics almost to the point of sounding like an octave pedal on certain single notes. This pedal was already cool with the distortion sounds it was giving me, but to open this whole new can of worms was like the light bulb turning on. Yeah I’m a dumbass I should have known but I didn’t understand until I heard it myself., and half the neighborhood. Lol.

With those resistors like that I might be able to finally pick up Channel 2 here in Chicago...

It does get noisy AF.

91K & 750K are standard values, might be a GOOD idea to swap them out.
Is that the Plastic dip like the do on the Wheels, Looks Great!

I know he puts a decal of sorts in water with spray paint and then dips the enclosure into the water. If that’s the same as plastic dip then yes.
