«  Super versatile fuzz »

I critically hot, I received the pedal today and I have already spent two or three hours on it. This is a fuzz (which is not limited to this effect) home Way Huge, brand I did not know, before falling on a rig rundown of cravat and slicked guitarist Queens Of The Stone Age, it never failed compliments about her. It works by 9V (can be used with battery for that matter). Comes with beautiful box, I say that because it is not often. Everything seems very well made, very neat metal case, in colors not seen much on pedalboard.

UTILIZATION

The use of the pedal is relatively simple. I say relatively because we have total of 7 knobs (!): 5 front and 2 internal (me either I did not know that was possible). It takes a little time to let it tame, but do not bother to make funds either, if you know what you want, you'll get it. Moreover, there are many things you can get with its possibilities. The manual is fairly brief (but nice), simple and direct, the pedal may be too high for the foot but no one is perfect and it remains anecdotal.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality is pretty neat, I use it with my Jazzmaster (on VOX VT15), plus a TC Elec Spark mini boost, an EHX Pulsar, a Boss DD7 and a black PolyTune. The fuzz effect is very heavy, everything you would expect from a good fuzz. Many knobs have the advantage of reaching many different sounds, and get new ideas. I love the sound of Ty Segall, while low, I love also the brutality Magnetix that does not forget the treble, but this Way Huge allows even more things clearly: QOTSA, Black Sabbath, Kyuss, etc..
The Loudness part adjusts the volume, sustain manages ... sustain; nothing amazing but it works very well. It becomes more addictive with other knobs: the filter allows to coat the sound left at 11am it is a wonder of bass and mids. Where Way Huge stands out are the two knobs on the front mini: Scoop and Crunch. Scoop the approval Filter by me manage tones as desired. Crunch gives the more bluesy side of the pedal, less violent. This pedal gives a lot of effects, little push, she can spin a good crunch sound. Probably super interesting small setup with a Telecaster! To get an idea, brand videos on youtube, they are very good.

OVERALL OPINION

In the end, I am very demanding fuzz. This is the basis of my sound, I can not do without and so there is no better crash choosing its fuzz. It replaces my Big Muff has outlived its usefulness. I hesitated with Death By Audio Fuzz War (as well as Thee Fuzz War Overload), which seems great too. But the price has put me off, the Swollen Pickle is much more versatile, which does not mean it is doing less and less accurate, quite the contrary.
