HPP reconfigured to extend the counter-
clockwise range on the
brutality
control, allowing
access to the gnarliest churning/grinding/skinflaying
flavors of Porkolation.
Mixes the output of the HPP with the output of the
Pre Amp
, great for basses and keyboards. Also, if you
roll it all the way down you can use the
Pigpile
as a
clean boost…but why would you want to do that?

Output signal volume.
Hi-Cut
Controls high frequency negative-feedback internal
to the HPP. Salt to taste.
'off' to move the clipping around the circuit. Our
favorite setting is the default—but experiment! Turn
on multiple dip-switches and things might get extra
weird (even when the toggle switch is not set to
alt
).
3-position toggle switch for control of the JFET input
gain stage.
BOOST
is max full-range input gain, while
Bright
boosts treble and high-mids.
pre amp
Gain control for the classic Harmonic Porkolating
Pair (HPP) transistor configuration, which can
generate everything from thick overdrive with
serious sustain, to harmonically-reactive sizzling
fuzz, to freaky windswept nuclear blasts.
harm
Adjusts the balance of input-to-feedback inside the
HPP, and therefore the intensity and character of the
chaotic interactions created. Crank it for max gain
and max heavy, but roll it back to allow more intense
Porkolations and weirder tones. It’s not a brutality
control, it’s all brutal. Choose and perish.
Brutality
Engages Germanium diode clipping that can be
connected to different parts of the circuit. Toggle up
for the traditional locale (
q2c
) or toggle down for one
of three alternate locations (

), selectable via
internal dip-switches. Turn one switch 'on' and two

-
Use only CENTER NEGATIVE DC power supplies.
Other types of supplies can and will damage your
pedal.
-
We recommend 9V DC supplies, but you can also
run at 18V DC. DO NOT run your pedal any higher
than 24V DC or damage can occur.
-
DOT NOT adjust any of the internal trimpots. We
very carefully adjust them on the bench for ideal
circuit and sonic function.
