Hi, I can't seem to find an up to date schematic for this pedal. I heard one last night through a vertical stereo fender amp set up and it was absolutely breath taking. I seriously thought someone had dunked me a LSD tab.

The Harmonix were three dimensional and seemed to have there own space around your head. The guy who had it had paid a builder (he says he's forgotten who) to build it once he was aware  I was a newbie builder he got very defensive and would not let me near it.

he only let me play with it for 2 minutes  

So please please can someone pin point an updated layout.

Thanks, Woz.

I don't think there is a layout for it but the schematic should be in the gallery no?
Let me know if not and I can send it to you.

The schematic in the gallery has been upgraded to the latest changes I made. It's really just a "best guess" at a Harmonic Percolator- it's not my design. The "3D" sound you were hearing could have had something to do with the stereo setup, no?

EDIT- Actually, that's not the latest. Hmm... I thought I updated that thing.

Well, anyway- sub 1u caps for the two .1u's and sub 1n695's for the 1n34a diodes.

Thank you all.

Doug I'm sure the stereo had something to with it but I played lots of pedals through the rig and while it was very
good on them all the seriously 3-d harmonics were out on there own.
He had had it about 1 month and said it was the latest updated version according to the builder.
Cheers Woz.

Doug without blowing your own trumpet, the HW86 you designed...do you use it a lot??

HWY89- Haven't used it in years. But that's not a reflection on it.

a) I haven't been playing much.
b) Spent most of the year so far tweaking an amp.
c) Haven't really been playing with pedals much.
