2024 started a new fuzz obsession for me: the Harmonic Percolators. This legendary and super rare fuzz sounds like nothing else. I spend quite some time to learn more about the history of this pedal and what makes it so special. I also tried to gather as many different takes as I could to find see how different they are.
