Albini-spec Harmonic Percolator no. 4, with a line from "Wingwalker" added to the graphics..

Built a Noise Gate to MXR specs. More of an experiment to see how it would sound straight from the guitar into the Albini Spec Harmonic Percolator I built, like the great man used to have his set up

From top left: Who Fears The King IVP pedal, Harmonic Percolator Albini spec no. 1 (kept for myself), Crap sounding Five Cats pcb HP but with cool Rapeman graphics, HP no. 2 or 3, who knows?

This was the one that started it all...

In January 2016 my obsession with these began. A TB500 in slightly worse condition than this one sat on Ebay unmoving for months at £5767. I'm still obsessed with these incredible and unique sounding instruments.

"When you lift the strap of an electric guitar over your shoulder, you immediately feel the power and authority that music commands conferred upon you. The volumes and sonic capability translated from creative mind to hands, from strings, pickups, frets to amplifiers, to speakers, to outrageous decibels, demanding all attention. The power at your fingertips being the legacy of years, of feedback, rapt attention, lost in the sound, the all-encompassing joy of music. The celestial language that holds the spheres in the void. This is no frivolous activity, but a most serious and privileged responsibilty."
