The Barge Concepts BP-1 is a fuzz-distortion guitar pedal designed as a clone of a long-out-of-production pedal called the Interfax HP-1 Harmonic Percolator. The original HP-1 is a mainstay of Chicago-based guitarist, recording engineer and studio owner Steve Albini, so we thought it would make a useful video to get some impressions of the BP-1 pedal from a guy who has been using the HP-1 for many years in his main guitar rig.
Steve agreed and so we headed down to his Electrical Audio studio to capture a basic comparison between the BP-1 and its electronic design model, the HP-1.
Watch for more coverage of the BP-1 at Gearwire as we put its through its paces during Gearwire Crosstalk and one other test video soon to be completed.
