<p>Uncover a cult classic of pedal history with the Electro-Harmonix Percolator Harmonic Saturator, a modern take on one of the most unusual and sought-after fuzz circuits ever created. Inspired by a rare 1970s design from a Milwaukee audio repair shop, the Percolator delivers a wonderfully unpredictable blend of overdrive, fuzz, harmonic saturation and gated textures.</p><p> The Electro-Harmonix Percolator Harmonic Saturator is now available from Merchant City Music, Glasgow’s longest-established guitar specialist.

Its distinctive clipping character emphasises even-order harmonics, giving the pedal a harmonically rich voice that can sound thick, aggressive and wonderfully unruly.</p></p> The HARMONICS control sets the gain at the input stage, while the DRIVE/FUZZ control engages or lifts the clipping diodes to take the sound from gritty overdrive into more saturated fuzz territory. The BIAS control adds another dimension, altering the gain circuit to produce everything from octave-like textures to gated, sputtering sounds. An internal trim pot provides further control over sub-octave content and additional gain for players who want to push the circuit even further.</p></p> The Percolator also features a latching/momentary footswitch, allowing you to use it as a conventional pedal or hold the switch down for a temporary burst of harmonic mayhem. Mechanical relay true bypass switching keeps your signal clean when the effect is disengaged, while the compact die-cast enclosure makes it an easy addition to any pedalboard.</p> <p><strong>Electro-Harmonix Percolator Features</strong></p> <ul> <li> Modern take on a legendary 1970s Harmonic Percolator circuit</li><li> Asymmetrical clipping for rich, even-order harmonics</li><li> Sounds ranging from smooth dynamic overdrive to ripping fuzz</li><li> HARMONICS control for input-stage gain</li><li> BALANCE control for overall output level</li><li> BIAS control for octave and gated textures</li><li> DRIVE/FUZZ control for shaping the clipping character</li><li> Internal trim pot for enhanced sub-octave tones and extra gain</li><li> Latching/Momentary footswitch action</li><li> Mechanical Relay True Bypass</li><li> 9V battery included, with optional power adaptor </li> </ul>
