Aww thanks dawg. Yeah. I like colors. I have a florescent orange tool box too.

Also I didn't show the germanium clippers. But that's what most of the production units have so I didn't bother. They are pretty sweet with that darlington gain though. It's fun. Thanks for watching fellas. I'm trying to figure out a way to mic my shit so I can make real-ish demos..

New page so..

Thanks man. I really like it, and the multibox it's going in should be fun. I finished the ringer part last week. I'm still deciding which boost to put in it though.

I'm not sure I know what you are referring to. I'm putting that percolator in a box with a green ringer and a Majikbox venom boost with an order switcher and on/off toggle for the boost. I already drilled the box, I'm just being lazy. The percolator also has a toggle for selectable input/output caps as well

In regards to the boost, sorry that wasn’t super clear. I thought you were looking for boost ideas.

You’re good! That sounds rad! The green ringer/harmonic percolator should be gnarly!

My Land hp2 came in yesterday. Sounds amazing! It's like a distortion+ with a phlegmy throat. A hypothetical Fuzz+, if you will. Me likey.

:joy: beauty man. Yeah I've tried probably 60 transistor combos in my percolator and I find it to be a more distortion like sound. I'm excited to see your drunken demo vid..

Hey guys I built a point to point Harmonic Jerkulator and I've been loving it! Gonna build a real Percolator next to see how the two compare.

Got it in a test box right now so quick question: can you run these off a power supply without too much extra noise? I'm thinking about just leaving the DC jack and LED off this one and joining the BATTERY ONLY family...

Mine isn't too noisy on DC power from a wall wart, but I'm irritated by batteries in general. It never fails I get drunk and leave shit plugged in or something and that's that. Maybe I should try those rechargeable 9Vs..

But in answer to your question, I would wire one up and try it, easy enough to kibosh it if you don't dig. Make sure you have a decent supply and avoid the usuals: florescent lights overhead, vacuum running nearby, microwave etc..
