A hand wired recreation of the early 1970’s Harmonic Percolator — an enigmatic texture machine with cult status.
The Harmonic Percolator utilizes a unique silicon / germanium design that clips asymmetrically and imparts the signal with an unpredictable, yet musical distortion that resembles an overdriven console, but with more warmth and natural compression. This iteration utilizes a 3-position clipping switch to select between germanium, silicon, and diode bypass settings. The circuit is true to the original in the germanium clipping mode.
