LED ON: 

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?

Blend

Level

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.
