Way Huge fans... I need help!!

[mal paso]

For kicks(and with the help of my tax returns), I've decided to make a small Way Huge pedalboard.

I'm thinking 3 pedals, maybe 4, but probably 3.

Anyway, the only one I know for sure is the AquaPuss.


For sonic versatility, I'm unsure of what the other 2 should be. My local GC has a used Swollen Pickle, and I've been lusting for a Red Llama, but I'm worried about fuzzy overlap with the 2. Plus, I think it would be cool to do the Camel Toe(with the Green Rhino)

What 3 Way Huge pedals would you use? Help!

I really liked the Green Rhino and Swollen Pickle. I tested them out at GC beside each other and they sounded awesome.

Aqua Puss, Swollen Pickle, and Big Muff.
Or if you absolutely need to be WH, a Pork Loin

Hey Baron, EHX should be paying you!


Thanx for the suggestions gents.





Hey Bossking, did you try the two at the same time? Bang for my buck is what I'm goin' for

Not on at the same time, but im sure it would sound great. Those both are amazing pedals. Both are very vestatile too.

Cool man, thanks!

I also love the Small Stone, Electric Mistress, Octave Multiplexer, Deluxe Memory Man, Small Clone, Memory Boy, Deluxe Memory Boy, Pulsar, ... ETC

Hey Baron, the check is in the mail

[bigmuff113]

I honestly don't have a favorite EH pedal

[mal paso]

This isn't the liar thread, I'm pretty sure you do!






In fact, I think you may be named after it

The Big Muff was made by God, not EHX

IMO, that is the best WHE pedal, period. It is one of a kind, and IMO is just better for blending clean and OD sounds.

The OD circuit is NOT straight-up TS, and the clean circuit is IMO really well thought out.

Both circuits use a shared mosFET input buffer, which is kind of unusual, but boy does it work. And both circuits use a shared "blending" op amp stage, which again is just great design. Something like the Sparkle Drive (as cool as it might be, and I am a fan of the overall principle), is simply crude in comparison (not that crude or simple doesn't work in many instances).

Many/most other WHE pedals are primarily straight-up derivatives of other pedal designs, albeit with some really clever tweaks here and there. There is obviously no Muff that sounds like a Swollen Pickle, because the tone stacks are so different in each. And the new RI Green Rhino has the 100Hz control, which clearly sets it apart from a stock TS. And most folks know what the Aqua Puss is derived from, but the price of it makes the AP a really good deal if you like the DM-2's analog slap characteristics.

...So the Pork Loin is just a really different stomp vs. most other WHE pedals, and all in good ways, IMO. Or for the sake of what you are doing, I would definitely have it as a strong contender with your choice of AP and one other.

I think you can't go wrong with a Red Llama. Lots of folks consider them to be a one trick pony, but I think it's a good trick.

I agree with Mr. 11

That's going out on a limb

[telerocker1988]

As far as the 2 WH pedals - definitely the Green Rhino and Red Llama. Love those pedals. I do want to try the Pork Loin and Fat Sandwich someday but the GR and RL (running them like a Camel Toe) is doin' it for me. I really love the WH reissues. Now if he'd just get off his @ss and reissue the CT then he'd be onto something. Then he can do more new stuff. But he has to reissue the CT. That's a classic. And it would be nice to have both pedals in one box AND put my others on other boards.

You cannot make a small pedalboard w/ WH pedals, they are bulky enclosures.

That said, the AP is limited but an excellent snapback pedal, a definite. The Green Rhino and the Red Llama stack well together. Never tried the Swollen Pickle or Pork Loin.

Another vote for the Pork Loin. Covers a lot of ground with great sounds. I liked it much better than the Fat Sandwich.

[mal paso]

Thanks everybody!


Much cud to chew on. The Pork Loin does sound nice.

green rhino/pork loin>red llama>ringworm (got to fiddle with one in person, its awesome)> aquapuss

[ChipOnly]

I love my pork loin. I'd probably do that with the swollen pickle - which is a muff variant, IIRC.

The way huge boxes, connected on top, look pretty slick right up next to each other.
