All I know is the harmonc perculator is a dirty fuzz used by Steve Albini of Shellac. Not sure if you can buy them anymore, but i have a schematic and plan to put one together soon.

the schematics floating around don't seem to be 100% accurate, or more importantly - when built, they don't sound or respond like a Harmonic Perculator.  Watch the Youtube video where Steve Albini compares them side by side.

Fulltone is a MOSFET driven OD. Will do mild OD to face-melting depending on your amp's gain structure.

The Tone Bender is a SS fuzz pedal. Sounds great, but needs a clean amp. It is NOT very versatile.

I have the fulldrive 2-its sweet because its like a two channel box-od on the left...boost on the right-it has sort of a plexi vibe to it, and like fulltone products, built like a tank and dependable-I use it with my boogies to get more of a classic rock sound/gives the boogs some added bite/sometimes I just use the boost to slam the sh&t out of the front end of the amp while its dialed in with a low/mid gain setting--just the right amount of dirt and response-some good voodoo :D
