Okay....I sorta solicited interest in this but never really made it official so here they are. I have NINE available and they'll be PRF-available till next weekend, after which they'll be sold elsewhere. Till then they're at the early bird discount price of $155 ppd in the US (get at me if you're elsewhere). **SOLD OUT**

HOT PEREZ. HP-1 circuit clone. The HP-1of course does not seem to have one stock design in terms of part values as slight changes were made over its small lifecycle. Much internet sleuthing on behalf of many people has come up with what are the various HP-1 variables, and this one is the schematic version purported to be closest to steve's HP-1. Its a little more smooth and less wild than some of the other variants. These are using germanium diodes spec matched to the OG 1N695 diodes in the original, an AC125 germanium transistor, and a 2N3565 silicon transistor.

What’s the noise floor like on this guy? I really liked the Collins one I had but I prefer lower gain settings on these with high volume and the white noise level was simply a little over the top.

Its pretty low. I think that's the difference between various instances of HP-1s out there. The other ones are way more unruly and noisy, but with the part values in this one (and purportedly the steve one) its much more controlled and doesnt have all that noise that one would associate with a high gain pedal like a Muff.

I think this is Balls #4 for me: Muff, KWB, PALS, and HP. Any other builds that I"m forgetting?
Should probably take some BALLS pedal stock as well...

PALS
PRF KWB
Moon Unit
PRF Sustainer
1E3 Boost
Ballsmaster
Decathlon
Black 1000

...and now the HP. Why not!

The only thing keeping me from an all-Balls board is just needing you to build a tuner!
