Members jasonfuzz Posted November 13, 2006 Members Share Posted November 13, 2006 I've tried a Harmonic Percolator clone before. It doesn't actually sound like anything special to me, so I'm wondering what's so special about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members voerking Posted November 13, 2006 Members Share Posted November 13, 2006 it seems they've added a gain stage to make it sound more badass, but you can use the internal switches to make it be like a stock HP.here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't actually sound like anything special to me, so I'm wondering what's so special about it. To be honest, we had the same initial reaction. We found that adding some extra gain up front can push it closer to the sound that many people expect or are looking for from an Interfax clone, and can take it from a fairly linear amplifier off into some very aggressive, harsh fuzz tones and points inbetween. Even just adding a unity gain input buffer opens up the sound, making brighter and louder. It's probably not a box for everyone, but we dig it. Originally posted by skatan I can't wait for it to get here. We'll be shipping the first units either tomorrow afternoon or wedneday morning, and updating people as orders ship. Reaction has been huge so far, but we should still be able to fill orders in our usual turnaround time, more or less... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members capnbringdown Posted November 13, 2006 Members Share Posted November 13, 2006 How'd you get yours for $109? It says $119 on the site. Also, I don't see a seperate page for the harmonic perculator clone? Is it as big as the bee baa clone or can someone tell me the dimensions of it?

Members Seth Carmody Posted November 13, 2006 Members Share Posted November 13, 2006 In typical BC fashion, it's nicely priced. Wouldn't mind a clip as I have no idea what they sound like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fatbackribs Posted November 14, 2006 Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 Listen to some Albini, (Big Black, Rapeman, Shellac,) or Slint for an idea of what a Harmonic Percolator sounds like. Ragged and Cutting are two words that come to mind, but I'm sure there are other ways to dial them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind a clip as I have no idea what they sound like Clips will be up as soon as I figure out how to make my M-Audio Firewire Solo stop clipping. I can accept the fact that my playing sucks, but unnecessary digital noise just isn't cutting it. If anyone has any advice, I'd REALLY appreciate it.

Didn't the Guess Who use it on American Woman? But atleast that get you into the ballpark. Maybe check out the Urso splinter clips, that's the only other harmonic percolator clone that comes to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mukuzi Posted November 14, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 I really like the switchable buffer idea. I really wish that my double muff had a buffer on the input so it didn't have to be first in my chain. Anyone here have any idea if I could use the the Barge Concepts Percolator (with the output buffer set to OFF) BEFORE my double muff? Or before any of my fuzz face clones?

Members purefender07 Posted November 14, 2006 Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 No way! I definately might jump on this eventually. I bought a Splinter a while ago to get some of the sounds......This would be awesome. I need clips! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mukuzi Posted November 14, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 How is the Splinter for you? Do you still use it? What kind of stuff? What color panties are you wearing? With what amp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members purefender07 Posted November 14, 2006 Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 I still use the Splinter it's on my board. It's hard to describe what it is really. It has two volume modes. One is called "flame" and it just has a bunch of white noise attached and the other is clean. It has too much middle for me. I have to dial in more trebel with Eq for it to work for some Big Black attacks. It definately has a lot of sustain though. I use it for sound effects for Big Black type stuff. It's like a krackly smooth overdrive almost in some circumstances though. It's definately a nice pedal, lots and lots of sounds. Would be interesting to compare to this Barge Concept model. Especially considering the Barge is only $109..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mukuzi Posted November 14, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 That's pretty much what I want to do when the new pedal gets here. That's the first time I've heard comment on the mids on a percolator clone, I had thought they were meant to be pretty tone neutral. Still, for $109 you can't really go wrong. I spend more than that on glue for my toupee each month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 6StrngStrangler Posted November 14, 2006 Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 Man, I have the BB-Jr. at first I thought it was medicore. Thats because I was playing it at bedroom volumes. It's true colors shine when you CRANK your amp up! So far it has kicked a Zvex Woolly Mammoth, Euthymia ICBM Fuzz and EHX Big Muff, Little Big Muff and Double Muff all off my board! If you open it up, you are looking at a work of ART, I have never seen a wiring job done so beautiful in my life, with the exception of looking at a Harry Joyce wired amp!

All of the credit for the wiring goes to Barry and Corey. Barry is obsessive when it comes to wiring and parts layout, and we're always very glad to know that people appreciate his skills and effort. Glad you're enjoying the Junior! Originally posted by purefender07 I need clips! ASAP! Tomorrow is going to be nothing but building, but I'm hoping I can figure out the problem with our recording setup sometime Wednesday or Thursday.

Members sonaboy Posted November 14, 2006 Members Share Posted November 14, 2006 awesome - so you'll sound like Albini once you: put 80 lb. sandbags into your speaker cabs. design a high gain amp that flips out at high frequencies. understand subtle differences between EQ, shelving, mic placement and other such things that make you an expert in bedroom rocking that transfers completely into live situations. color me tentative.
