Demo of the 222222 Darlington Harmonic Percolator on my modified Emona-301 Telecommunication Instructional Modeling System

I was surprised to find it somewhat subtle and useful in the electronic/synth context and as far as I can tell thats due to how germanium transistors and diodes seem to clip.  Similarly to guitar a lot of the harmonic information and tone is preserved and it feels a bit more interactive with the sound and less like something being "filtered through" 

The video is just various loops with the effect engaged/disengaged etc.  Interesting as a coloration box to bring out timbral contrasts, also somewhat useful as a rudimentary dynamics processor to accentuate rhythmic pumping effects.
