Please tell me how to set it! Swollen Pickle I messed with the trim pots, didn't really know what i was doing. I found that if I run the loudness any higher than 2, its blaringly loud. Been using it into a clean amp
It's a repackaged Saucy Box. There's another more recent iteration called "effects pedal" that's just a repackaged Swollen Pickle, but Josh is holding the Saucy Box (3 knobs, no mini pots)
Saint Rhoads The CCD is nice but it’s difficult to get the mix right when playing live. I have it and like the sound but it’s been sitting since about the first week I got it. YMMV
I agree. The repeats are really lo-fi but that's part of the magic - you can create nostalgic sci-fi sounds really easily. And the tap and layout make it very intuitive to tweak on the fly.
+1 on the Supa Puss. I have a JHS Panther V.1 but it's YUGE so when I want analog delay w/tap, subdivisions, ext-in, etc without taking up 1/2 my board, I go with the Puss Delays galore.
I absolutely love Way Huge pedals! I worked for a store that sold Dunlop and we were very happy when George Tripps started working with them. I bought the very first Red Llama when we got one in and fell in love with the entire line. Dozen of their pedals and counting
Gotta shout out to Craig Anderton who made the tube sound fuzz. The red llama is a barely altered tube sound fuzz circuit. It was (not saying stolen) copied. Big name in DIY. Craig Anderton deserves a chapter in pedal history.
I love my Green Rhino Mkiv, which I feel does not get enough mention, a little smaller and the updated 100hz and 500hz make it SO versatile. Even at noon the tone is different than the classic setting...basically making it two different “ts” tones! Finally, the use of a carbon battery does something magical if you can try it. And now I need a ringworm, thanks Josh! Lol
"This next one is the OTHER most famous Way Huge pedal... It's kind of a big deal" me: Did he say big dill??? That's PERFECT. SWOLLEENN PICKKLLEE-oh it's the red llama.
Thanks for another wonderful ep. I have the Pork and Pickle Overdrive & Fuzz for Bass and it's a beast of a pedal. I record with it all the time and have it next to a ABY pedal so I have a clean and fuzz option for each take, which is useful when ya not sure how much fuzz you want when tracking. After watching this ep, I am keen to get my hands on the Purple Platypus because it sounds magnificent.
I love Way Huge so much I have 11 dirt pedals from them. I even went to the trouble of getting hold of a red and a blue Drive (aka Geisha). I love the Havalina because it is weirdly touch sensitive and organic...and I say touch sensitive rather than volume sensitive advisedly. It's weird.....you know :-). I love the Pork Loin for the mix and the Saucy Box because the mix is more straightforward to get at....if you get me. I love the Fat Sandwich for it's fine grained high gain shenanigans that still cleans up a treat. The 'Geisha' has all but taken over from the Barber Gain Changer as my all-time favourite drive pedal. I think if I were out and about again I would happily have a board with two - minimum gain for slightly hairy boost and 3.00 o'clock for creamy leads. I love everything about 'em. ......... really cool enclosures too.
Excellent video. I am so glad that you featured the Havalina. I never see it on any list of best fuzzes, or even best fuzzes by Way Huge, but it is an amazing pedal. One of my favorite musical experiences was hooking this up to a ZT lunchbox amp, setting the ZT under the entrance to my attic, cranking both the pedal and the amp as far as they would go, and driving out a raccoon that had decided to make its home up there. However, his absence was temporary, as I think he also appreciated the throaty majesty of the Havalina.
What about the Conquistador?? That one might be relatively newish, but it tears it up in the realm of fuzz, and Velcro- fuzz in particular! I have 6 WH pedals, all in a row. Because of the top mounted Jack's, they go flush side-by-side with no gaps in-between. They actually take up less real estate than equivalent boss pedals - and they look killer, all im a neat row like that, each withntheir skater-cool colour vibe.
I loved A.M. But when I heard YHF, I wanted to open my veins deep and wide. I don't even give it enough thought to call it bad - I just wanted to kill myself those two times I tracked it.
Oh really??! Damn! I cheaped out n got an mxr instead. Now I wish I'd paid the extra $70 (AUD). Cos I've got a neat line of 6 way huge pedals on my board. They look awesome all in a row, flush side-by-side the to the top-mounted jacks.
I'm a fan of the Red Llama. I remember Tripps being on the Andertons channel and Lee calling the Red Llama a "player's pedal" cos it's hard to dial in and not for beginners. Jeorge didn't seem to appreciate that very much, but he stayed polite about it.
I love the Ringworm, I prefer using the lower frequencies with the blend at about 11 o'clock. Adds a lot of texture, like you said. Great, great pedal. You get the most usable sounds compared to other ring modular type pedals, in my opinion.
I still believe the Green Rhino is miserably underrated... Ever since I got mine, it's been pretty much on 24/7, 365 days a year on my board. Seriously. Best Tube Screamer-like overdrive in the history of Tube Screamer-like overdrives, maybe ever. Bottom line: The Way Huge Green Rhino Overdrive is my favorite pedal ever, was I clear enough about it? I love the Green Rhino.
Surprised you didn't like the Swollen Pickle or the Fat Sandwich. They're easily my favorite WH pedals because of how versatile they are. Huge range of tones.
Recently acquired a Purple Platypus for a steal on Reverb! Awesome pedal, inspires a very particular playing style. I find it works best into an already dirty amp, makes for some really unique lead/heavy rhythm tones!
All the Billy Bragg & Wilco LPs "Mermaid Avenue I, II & III". All previously unreleased songs written by the amazingly beautiful Woody Guthrie. Which Billy Bragg & Wilco put their own music to. And there's also the Documentary "Man in the Sand". Documenting the recording of the LPs. And a large portion of the songs which where recorded in Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪
My Green Rhino Mk II was a holy grail find for me. After years of using Boss Yellow OD pedals and other similar mid-bump bass-cut pedals, all I wanted was something that just sounded exactly like my amp but with more drive. Even though it's based on the mid-humpy Tube Screamer, the extra bass control allows me to dial in a very transparent tone.Have yet to try any OD pedal that matches it for just sounding like my overdriven amp with zero tonal colouring.
Ok, so I'm pretty sure that the super famous guitar player, that Josh was talking about, is Joe Bonamassa. I just happened to re-watch Joe's Rig Rundown today, where he talked about getting something called the Effect Pedal from Jeorge Tripps in 2014 to compare it to a Tube Screamer and an original Klon Centaur. Joe talked about the Effect Pedal as being a modified Green Rhino that was made for especially him, so perhaps it was sort of the early stage of what would become the Overrated Special and the Doubleland Special, which he used in the rig rundown.
I’ve been a fan of joerge Tripp & Way Huge since he joined MXR/Dunlop... My Way Huge Swollen Pickle! Totally underrated, and doesn’t get used as often as I’d like because IT’S A BEAST!! And not always tameable... I’m talking about the phattest fuzz.. Plus I’ve had a Green Rhino on my board for... 8 years? Final, maybe getting overthrown by the Golden Boy.
I’ve never been a Wilco fan but Jeff Tweety used to live in my neighborhood. It was when his kid was young, so I would see him at the park sometimes. His son had a Beatles cover band. They were really good.
i watched your which overdrive is right for me video and decided i needed a Blues breaker type overdrive, but a bit later on the same day i heard some demo's of the Way huge Green rhino and knew that was the one i wanted rightaway. Really looking forward to play with it 😁
between the time you played the purple platypus and the end of the video i bought one.... sooo favourite sound.... and i have enjoyed using a pork loin and a saucy box. Way Huge is pretty dreamy stuff
I made a comment about it earlier in this comment section. Im pretty sure that it's a modified Green Rhino, that was made for Joe Bonamassa. You can look at my comment for further explanation if you want :)
@@oscarskjoldan Bonamassa used the Pork Loin exclusively for the longest time (still?), so if he's the guitarist to whom Josh is referring, it's probably a modified version (or not) of that circuit.
I found a guy in the city selling a Way Huge Red Llama and an Angry Troll. I'd been wanting to try Way Huge for a while, so I bought 'em. Sent the Red Llama to my buddy in NYC for his birthday and use the Angry troll with guitar AND bass. Love it (and my buddy loves the Red Llama). Then I found a Purple Platypus in a music shop near my house and bought it after hearing some RU-vid demos. I'm now officially in love with Way Huge pedals!
The Way Huge Saucy Box is my favourite drive pedal ever. I have 6 different drives on my board but if I could only have one it would be the Saucy Box. Never really hear too many people talking about it tbh and I think it's pretty under rated
@@extendedlines ps if anybody knows where I can get one in the reverse colouring ....Pink pedal / black lettering. ....gimme a shout , I REALLY want one !
My favorite way huge has to be the Fat Sandwich. Great Distortion pedal that responds so well to dynamic playing. In addition to the volume, saturation and tone, you have additional presence and resonance controls, as well as internal controls inside, allowing you to fine tune the curve and sustain.
I love the doubleland special, however because of you I broke out the Boss MT-2 AND I PUT IT AFTER MY SWOLLEN PICKLE......OMG TALKING bout sweet ass tones with my strat and dsl40c. my amount ate that shit up. Thanks for making me take another look at it.
I’ve had a Way Huge Camel Toe pedal for almost 3 yrs! Just started using and I’m blown away!! With a chorus and delay, it goes into Gilmore/ EJ territory and without I can cover some 90’s/Grunge covers!! Absolutely awesome!!!
YES! I honestly fist-bumped the air when I saw the Havalina! I have it myself and always wanted a ToneBender and I just adore the thing! So fun to use - and stacks really well with a light OD after to make it sound HUGE
Surprised the Swollen Pickle wasn't on there. I have the Green Rhino, Red Lama,Swollen Pickle,Blue Hippo, and Angry Troll. Always wanted the Aqua Puss. Great show
I NEED you to do a video on the Ibanez Soundtank series!! No excuses, you WANT to make that video, I can hear it in your eyes and see it in the way you talk. ................. please?
When I first got it I wasn't that keen on the 'out of the box' sound (a bit thin and fizzy) but when you mess with the internal trim pots it becomes the size of a house. HUGE
Lol - it wasn't until you got to the second pedal that I realized that this video was about pedals made by the company "Way Huge" rather than about over-sized pedals. :-) Great video though as always. hehe
I recently put together a new little pedal board intending to keep it fairly simple but ended up with a loop for two distinct channels & 8 (EIGHT!) distortion, overdrive or fuzz pedals & nothing else... My favorite "fuzz" tone is the the Way Huge Camel Toe... turn every tone/frequency knob all the way down & it's just enough massive amount of volume & overdrive to get me to MY perfect level of fuzz. The Green Rhino is amazing & my favorite OD before the Conspiracy Theory OD came out now the Conspiracy Theory is my absolute favorite.
Waited so long for this episode. Love the way huge. Swollen pickel makes me smile to play around with it. Ringworm is great too. Super puss is outstanding with the time sequencer. Love your Show josh. Why no bike Shirt this time?
I love way huge, i sold a havalina a year ago and it was a terrible mistake. The saucy box hc is a fantastic pedal it is comonly called the brown sauce overdrive 😂
I tried once a MkI Saffron Squeeze from a friend, and I still think of It as the best sounding, high quality, guitar signal -friendly compressor pedal, great work mr Tripps!
Earthworm Jim is a video game whose protagonist is a worm called Jim who, holstered on a cybernetic trajectory and armed with a pistol, is dedicated to touring the universe in search of the princess "What's her name". Great overtones from this pedal Huge fan of the Ring Worm .. sorry are we talking pedals or Cartoons?!? I got confused, either way I'm a Huge Wilco fan anyways, just for the record!!
I have an original Purple Platypus that I got back in the mid-90s to use with a specific band I was in at the time. At the lowest drive setting, you can get some quirky fake sitar sounds (treble strings), and kind of a broken speaker sound with full chords.
Finally! I have trying to get someone to confirm the Havalina is a tone bender for years...been on my board for 4 years but I have been using a Muffeletta lately in the fuzz hole.
I have that Anniversary Llama. Shout-out to Dunlop tone shop for getting me a replacement knob when mine had an unfortunate break! Was having a low-key panic attack about it because it's my favorite
I don't doubt that Jeorge was an early adopter of the 3PDT stompswitch, but I was always under the impression that it was Mike Fuller who originally ponied up the dough for a switch-maker to produce 3PDTs for his pedals.

I'm on my second Swollen Pickle, and I got the Ringworm almost immediately after seeing this, HOLY SHIT! Its more like a synth ring mod than a Gonk, insane! I like the Reissue purple too...
