Yep, all hand-done. Bought a hot air-gun station to try using that but I can never get the syringe flux to spread how I want.

Good God this is insanely cool!!!
Since it's asked question here....can you tell me where you got those knobs? Those things are brilliant looking. The whole pedal is amazing.
Yup, they do look sharp indeed, but not cheap. In Canadian dollars, the set of 20 came to $40. Here's the link;

Don't be afraid to try different op-amps in this either. In the end, I ended up going with a mix of OPA's and 072's.

Fuzz? Modulation? Overdrive? Hard to make a recommendation without knowing what you're hankerin' for.

LaoWiz wrote:Saw a Harmonic Percolator build report on Madbean recently and it got me back to researching. The one I built years ago on Madbean's Pepperspray board gave one the option to build per Albini specs or Stock specs. The one I made was to Albini specs and remember being underwhelmed. It was kind of a nicely colored overdrive leaning towards a fuzz but not too extreme. This was also a period when I was etching lots of boards from readily available layouts and doing less breadboarding. I dug back into HP research and decided to give it another go. After fiddling around with it on the breadboard for a day with the circuit closer to the George Giblet specs, which I believe are the based off a trace of one of the originals, I was very pleased with some nice slamming fuzz. And lots of variation of the sound by changing out transistors and diode combinations. Tweaked some values for my taste and just love it. Since the parts count is relatively low, I may put two in a box to cascade the circuits or just build two. Now just need to do some graphics for a box, thinking gonna stick it in a superfuzz style enclosure...

I removed the bar magnets underneath, drilled out the pole piece holes and put in some alinco5 rod magnets from an old telecaster neck pickup i had. Then I machined a steel plate to fit under neath and around the magnets. I like it so far, sounds like a fat bright loud single coil haha.
