The Swollen Pickle mkII Jumbo Fuzz is the most sought-after and
corpulent Way Huge guitar effects pedal, and now it's back! A charter
member of the Way Huge line has returned, and just like when it debuted
in 1997, it still has "more fuzz than a moldy peach!" The Swollen Pickle
mkII doles out super high-gain fuzz with copious amounts of smooth
low-end to all who dare plug into it.
With a twist of the
Sustain control, the Swollen Pickle mkII Jumbo Fuzz takes you from mild
crunch to Armageddon. The Filter control retains its trademark insane
range of heavily band-pass-filtered tones, distinguished by remarkable
girth and sizzle, and the Loudness puts out enough volume to clobber any
amp.
Updated Swollen Pickle mkII Jumbo Fuzz features include a
tone stack Scoop control that elicits classic Swollen Pickle guitar
pedal mid-scoop or a flat mid-frequency sweep, and a Crunch knob to
adjust the compression intensity of the fuzz.
Finally, under
the hood, the Swollen Pickle mkII fuzz pedal has 2 internal mini
controls—Voice sets the intensity of the external Scoop control from
light to heavy mid cut, and Clip varies between two sets of clipping
diodes for smooth or opened fuzz sustain.
Each Way Huge effect
pedal is rigorously tested to ensure quality, durability, and
reliability to deliver many years of exceptional performance. All Way
Huge pedals offer a heavy-duty footswitch with quiet relay-based true
bypass, a blue LED indicator, 2.1mm power jack with AC protection, easy
access (non-detachable) battery door, a super-duty .09 aluminum anodized
chassis, high grade components, great tone, and a cool name.
Launched
in 1992 by Jeorge Tripps, Way Huge Electronics began as a result of
Tripps' search for great tone, and his desire to perform with reliable,
rugged and pedalboard-friendly effects that had the magic of his coveted
vintage pedals. The very first pedal—simply labeled "Fuzz Box"—was
quickly followed by such staples to the product line as the Red Llama
Overdrive, Foot Pig Fuzz and Green Rhino Overdrive II, which quickly
found their way into the hands and onto the pedalboards of the world's
guitar elite. Ensuing years would see the introduction of pedals such as
the Swollen Pickle Jumbo Fuzz, Aqua-Puss Analog Delay, and the Saffron
Squeeze. Over the span of a few years, Tripps helped revolutionize what
would later be known as the 'boutique' effects market. In late December
1999, the company closed its doors as Tripps pursued other
opportunities, sending demand for Way Huge products soaring, and driving
online auctions well into the hundreds—sometimes thousands—for used Way
Huge pedals. Now teaming up up with Dunlop, Way Huge pedals will once
again be available to the masses, so all can enjoy their finely tuned
electronics, high-grade circuitry and road ready construction, built
under the watchful eye of Mr. Huge himself.
