Harmonic Percolator - Madbean Pepper Spray (Haberdasher Etch)

[cajone5]

I finally got around to building this up this weekend.  I had some low gain Ge transistors lying around and figured "why not".  Well, I'm sure glad I did.  This thing is absolutely awesome!  I wasn't expecting much from the demos and was very pleasantly surprised.  I went with the Albini specs for the resistors and caps but decided to add my own diodes rather than using the unobtanium Ge ones.  It's not as wild as some of the HP demos I've heard but it sure as shit sounds awesome and very different from any distortion or fuzz I've heard.  Definitely going to go on my board.

Transistors - button 2N3565 (smallbear) and DSI OC81D (hfe ~50)
Diodes - Si BAT 46 and Ge 1N34A



Ugh, that solder iron burn on the input wire... smh.

What a cool looking finish. I really like that. The Fender style knobs are perfect!

Yeah, this one looks absolutely great, inside and out. Would love to know how you did this finish.

I can't take credit for it.  I am almost positive I got it from PPP.  It was an enclosure I've had around for a few years now and seemed to fit this project perfectly.
