Overdrive? Fuzz? Distortion? Boost? Got it all! One of the rarest guitar pedals returns better than ever. The shortest and most brutal review of the Harmonious Perc is bellow:

Pros:
- one of the most versatile drives out there
- careful replica (same transistor and diode layout)
- NOS transistors and diodes
- added functions that can be bypassed too
- included Unbufferer pedal FFB and HB/SC circuits
- works in any pedal order
- easy to use with both passive & active instruments
- basically not a single difficult-to-integrate setting
- highest quality build, 100% strictly THD

Cons:
- no internal battery

Neutral:
- mechanical true bypass (something which we prefer)

The Verdict:
Nothing sounds like a Percolator. And then, nothing sounds like a Percolator with adjustable clipping symmetry AND voltage sag. It will do several drive and fuzz tones you may know, but what it does may not be replicate by anything else. And in the best possible build. What we can say: it's here to stay with us in the long run. So get one. Or even a CUSTOM one. ASAP!

We use sE Electronics microphones! The T2 is the be-all end-all LDC. From the only TITANIUM sputtered capsule microphone manufacturer in the world. Compact lollipop design (hangs from cab), the 4 polar patterns (all useful), extremely accurate frequency response 20Hz to 20kHz, great transient response and durability make it THE objective choice for us. Nothing else we tried compared to it. Our T2 shall never leave us: one of the best microphone designs in history.
