An "oldie"-but-goodie from Land Devices. The HP-2 is based on the Interfax Harmonic Percolator—a '70s fuzz that remained fairly obscure until recently, and the newfound interest in it within the boutique world is owed in part to the HP-2, which made some waves when it came out in 2017. It's a wonderful, unique little fuzz with the simplicity of something like a Fuzz Face, but with an entirely different and unmistakable character. If you're not familiar with that sound or any HP-inspired pedals, this is a great one to kickstart your descent into the Percolator cult of personality.
*Big thanks to Land Devices for sending this one over*
