I never opened it up for gut shots but wish I did.
It was weird as fuck and very difficult to use. I still have no idea what half the stuff on it did.

Used to have this dirtgarden FX harmonic percolator in an old sewing machine pedal painted gold. Sounded great.

Loads of oddball vintage fuzz have passed through my hands over the years too. Will try to dig out some info.

That Dirtgarden pedal was on Reverb a while back I believe, almost bought it too. They were cool pedals.

i had that one made! found the old sewing machine housing and sent it to Brian and he built me up that rad percolator circuit.

if anyone sees it come up again let me know :tu:
if you're ever in the shit, grab my tit
i like pedals when you know they're on
When I saw you with that lost look on your face saying you had just saw ET, I thought "uh oh, game over" - innerflight

late 60s hobby mag circuit with 7 Ge transistors i made about 10 yrs ago - the Harmonophone:

"a huge wailing triggered fuzz, with 2 subtle octaves down. John Lyons made me a pcb. The box is an old photographic darkroom timer."

Geez that looks like a piece of mid-century modern art that should be in the Smithsonian!
Beautiful

This was the height of my DIY enthusiasm - the solder fumes warped my brain. 9 fucking Ge transistors! I would not attempt this today...
