Chimeric Percolator

📦 Ships instantly from our US warehouse in Ohio.

Once upon a time there was a pedal said to perfectly Percolate the Harmonics of anything one might play through it. But what is this?! Although identical, the individual units could wildly fluctuate from one another! The Albinis of the world have since developed a fondness for particular variations, but what if you had every version smashed together in a single box?

The Chimeric Percolator is exactly that versatile abomination. There is a knob or switch anywhere possible providing both of the most famous sound profiles as well as anywhere in between, and many extremes far beyond!

This pedal is about exploration and requires a unique approach. Think of it like this, each control changes a specific part of the circuit and the sound is but a byproduct, hence the vague labels. There are many settings that yield "unmusical" sounds, but that's the cost of this level of flexibility. It is a mad science experiment that allows you unfettered access without any knowledge of electronics. The knobs are extremely interactive but supremely rewarding. This beast fights back but don't be afraid. Dive in, take your time, and check out some recommended settings as a starting point.

From The Builder: 
There are plenty of companies out there making pedals. If you're looking for a fantastic "normal" effect, I'll gladly point you in the right direction. Meanwhile, I'll keep plugging away at my little magic boxes. They're wacky, strange, even unhinged and they're... well, pretty good!

Each pedal is wired, soldered, and finished by hand, for now by one person. All one-offs and customs are built on stripboard and truly one of a kind. I'll gladly answer any questions or comments. Feel free to contact me if you have any crazy ideas, pedal fantasies, or custom effect dreams that we can bring to life.

For refined classics look elsewhere, but Emerald Ox has you covered for peculiar possibilities.
