Been a while since we had a HARMONIC PERCOLATOR thread, no?

I’m waiting for an all black Vaderin. Then I’m in.

I got the Electrofoods Pigpile and I think it comes closest to the recorded Albini sound of any perc I've spent time with. The bright preamp setting is what does it.

I have been interested in the Pigpile for a long time, and have been on the edge of buying it multiple times, but I really can't stand the looks of it.
Yes it's totally an irrelevant thing soundwise but I just can't get over it.

I like it, for some strange reason. THere's kind of a DIY punk gig vibe about all electrofoods stuff.

[Dowi]

I get it, i get it.. guess i'm not punk enough (on a side note, i just had a blast reading the NOFX Bathtub book and found it wild and amazing and better than a lot of other musicians biographies, the amount of crazy anecdotes is impressive. Y'all should grab it even if you don't know the band)

I don't like the looks either. I also don't like that I have another perc made by Laowiz that's also called Pigpile. I know they're both referencing Big Black so I can't say Electrofoods was ripping Laowiz off but I still don't like it.

They def not rippin me. Plus it wouldn't matter as I think I only made 4 or 5 Pig Piles. I went through all of Big Black's song titles and that one seemed the best to me outside of Atomizer which I had already used for a Perc way back. Sure they probs did the same thing. I would like to try out their Perc as it seems to have some nice goodies added on. My favorite Perc sound these days is with no clipping diodes. With diodes the signal seems to get strangled but in a kinda muffled way that I don't like much, sounds better more open to me. On the later Heatsaws I did I added an external noise control that worked with only some germanium transitors but when working well added some cool noise textures under the notes.

really dig this one

[Chankgeez]

Yeah, that does sound nice. Feedback loop is an interesting feature. Lots of potential.

Thanks to you all and this thread, I am gasing for an Electrofoods Pigpile now

[goroth]

They do look pretty awesome

They do look pretty awesome

Looks extremely versatile. No more one-trick purchases for me, versatility is what piques my swoon these days....

Game recognizes game? The Perc guy from the ‘90s-‘00s selling a Land Devices HP-2: https://reverb.com/item/48506643-land-devices-hp-2-camo

fwiw I celebrate the Collins Perc & its non-squelchiness, and also its capability to oscillate under certain circumstances
