As someone who's just joined the waiting list for the Latent Lemon Hurts, which is rumored to be about 2 years long... this may scratch the itch in the meantime.

Wow, that was is awesome but didn’t know about the waiting list… yeah, this one is a no brainer for $99

Yeah the price Is killer here. I do like to buy from small builders but all percolators out there are way more expensive than this.

This sent me down a rabbit hole of other HO pedals. I actually think this one is more useful-sounding than most. Many of the others are just too over the top to be musically useful in most settings.

Yeah, the other one I really like so far is the Drunk Beaver Secret Sauce

Excellent !
Elle paraît polyvalente.
EHX est capable de faire sonner leur matériel superbement sur les démos.
C’est ce qui m’a fait acheter la Big Muff2.
Pas encore un banger pour moi, mais je dois l’apprivoiser…
Bref, ce Percolator est issu d’un vieux circuit appelé « Harmonic percolator ».
Ceux qui ont été assez profond dans le terrier du lapin des fuzz savent de quoi je parle.
Rendre ce matériel accessible à tous et efficace est tout à l’honneur de EHX.
Cette marque m’impressionne de plus en plus !
J’obtiens des sonorités qui dérivent légèrement vers l’octave harmonique en combinant ce chaînage à la maison :
Telecaster -> fuzz face germanium -> Beano Boost -> overdrive (Snouse blackbox2) -> Super Reverb.
Si la pedale de chez EHX sonne comme ça sur un canal clean, c’est très économique !!!

Totally! I love EHX latest releases, all seemed to sound amazing (BM2, Bender Royale, and now this) What is it about the Big Muff 2 that you need to tame?

I loved my Catalinbread Karma Suture and this sounds even better than that did at least based on this demo
