Catalinbread Karma Suture: The
Interfax Harmonic Percolator is one
of the more obscure and mysterious
circuits in the pedal universe. Few
original examples exist, and the
world only really knows of it because
Steve Albini of Shellac has relied
on a vintage Percolator for many
years, primarily for its over-thetop sonic properties. Unbeknownst
to many, however, this circuit is
capable of far more than the ugly
roar that most players associate
with it. Catalinbread’s Percolatorinspired Karma Suture pedal
highlights the overlooked versatility
of this germanium-silicon hybrid
circuit, adding more control to
further enable exploration of the
Harmonic Percolator’s varied and
colorful tone textures. The Suture
really captures the Percolator’s true
personality, letting the user dial in
anything from subtle, glistening
grime, to beautifully defined drive,
to the thick, saturated fuzz that is
practically synonymous with this
circuit.
