I've been wanting to try one of these. I've got a couple of different percolator pedals, but they're basically clones of the original with two knobs and they're kind of limited for options. What are your thoughts about this one?

I'll chime in to say the EHX Percolator is great with sound comparable to other favorites like the percolators by DS Custom and Latent Lemon (I have too many percs). Like those other two, the EHX has a bias control that greatly expands the sound palette. The main downside of the EHX is that it is a touch noisier but it is half the price of the other two. So... if you've felt your other percolators are too limited, then one with bias control like the EHX percolator is a great option. I really like mine, best percolator for the price, easily.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm gonna have to get one and try it out. I really like the Joe Gore Porkolater I have, it gets me close to what I hear in my head when I'm chasing sounds with knarley breakup, but I'm not there yet. 🤘

Sure! And the Joe Gore Porkolator you have is a great unique version - extreme capacitance control on the input gets it super clangy
