The At Action Perk is a tribute to the fearless spirit and uncompromising sound that helped shape underground guitar tone for decades.
This pedal draws inspiration from the sonic character of the classic Harmonic Percolator, while employing a fully original circuit design, PCB layout, and visual identity. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Interfax, and is intended as a modern, independent interpretation rather than a reproduction.
Hand-wired using carefully selected new-old-stock transistors and diodes, the At Action Perk delivers controlled harmonic chaos with an added signal boost. Internal trim pots provide fine control over transistor bias, LED brightness, and boost output, allowing the pedal to be tailored to your rig and playing style.
Finished in a mellow yellow powder coat with black ink, the control layout is intentionally simple:
Harmonics - gain and texture
Balance - output level
The result is a wide range of tones, from subtle grit to aggressive, face-ripping distortion.
We take pride in ensuring every customer is happy with their purchase and appreciate your support of Argonaut Guitar Components.
Now let’s make some noise. #thankyoustevealbinise what this product is about. What’s it made of? How was it made? What are ways to enjoy it?
Born in the 1970s as a modular “plug-in” effect, this legendary circuit has earned its place as a true benchmark of overdrive tone. Known for its exceptional touch sensitivity and natural breakup, it moves effortlessly from a sweet, harmonically rich boost to the loose, sagging roar of a dimed vintage tube amp.
The Argonaut Electrical Overdrive keeps things straightforward and tactile, with volume and gain controls that let you dial in just the right amount of output and grit. A unique tone control adds classic character, acting as a high-frequency roll-off when turned clockwise from center, and a high-frequency lift when turned counterclockwise. A center-detent pot makes finding that sweet spot quick and intuitive.
A second footswitch lets you switch between germanium and LED clipping, each offering its own unmistakable character. A dual-color indicator LED keeps it clear at a glance—green for warm, compressed germanium clipping, and red for the bolder, punchier LED mode.
Under the hood, internal controls allow fine adjustment of clean boost level, a bright-cut option, and the intensity of the on/standby LED. Like the best gear of the Golden era, the Electrical Overdrive rewards players who work their guitar’s volume and tone knobs, opening up a wide range of expressive tones straight from the instrument and your hands.
The Ultimate Gibson Grabber & G3 Replacement Bridge
The concept behind the G-Retro bass bridge was to provide a high mass replacement bridge for Gibson Grabber and G3 basses that requires no additional holes for mounting. The results are optimal tone and period correct looks without devaluing your vintage instrument. Other improvements over the original include radiused baseplate edges and height adjustment screws that don’t protrude slashing your hand, resulting in exceptional comfort while playing. The bridge is also an excellent choice for custom bass builds providing a unique piece of hardware.
The G-Retro Bridge Features:
• Brass baseplate and saddles
• Stainless steel intonation, height adjustment, and mounting screws
• Bright nickel finish
• 17.5mm string to string spacing
• String through body construction
Remove your vintage bridge and keep it in the case for future resale value!

More about us
Argonaut Guitar Components began in 2018 out of a simple frustration: certain aspects of our most cherished instruments didn’t feel quite right. We didn’t want to modify the instruments themselves, so instead of relying on readily available parts, we started making our own.
What began as a small batch of custom components quickly grew into something much larger — a community of musicians and makers who shared the same values and vision.
Over the years, Argonaut has continued to evolve. Today, in addition to hardware, we’re bringing that same energy into new creations for the music community, including effects pedals, instruments, and more.
At its heart, Argonaut is a collective devoted to human connection through sound and visual art. You are as much a part of this company as we are.
Welcome.
