Love this

I know they're discontinued and John Snyder from Electronic Audio Experiments told me that he's equally enamored of his collaboration with Electrofoods Ltd., the Kerria Lacca, which is worth seeking out if you can't find a Dude Incredible, although both are rare. Regardless, I love having the IVP-style preamp as a boost that adds some grind to my tone, and the Harmonic Percolator clone is plenty violent on its own. Put 'em together and it's pure grindhouse horror-bliss, yet lots of articulation as well. Works well on a board, but also the kind of pedal you can throw in a bag with your cables and jam econo.
