FUZZ- WAY HUGE Swollen Pickle Jumbo Fuzz Mk3 ... Overview of a bigger Muff

$150.00 USD
WAY HUGE
SWOLLEN PICKLE JUMBO FUZZ MKIII

Jeorge Tipps started the company in 92 amid the upheaval of pro's moving

to rack mount gear. He did OK but by '99 Line 6 offered him a juicey job and he shut down. Still later he sold the company to Jim Dunlop. Eventually Dunlop decided they were falling behind the competition so the offered ol' Jeorge a great job running and developing new product for Way Huge and pilot projects with their MXR and Dunlop gear.
The Pickle is Jeorge's take on the Big Muff. It is one of the first gourmet Muffs.
The newest is the compact version where 2 knobs have been replace by to toggles 
and you can pull off the bottom plate to tune those in. Love it. Otherwise it is the 
usual volume, gain and tone.
Does it sound like a Big Muff? Yes only because once your ears can detect a silicon transistor sound followed by a slightly scooped mids you can not 
be far from a Muff. Some Muff knockoffs are beeped up for very dirty 
Metal sounds, others add mids and most are aimed at a Metal 
or Hard Rock/Blues genre. 
CONCLUSION
All pedals have a basic vibe and voice unique to the designers taste. This Fuzz is incredibly versatile that I would find useful but if you have a genre specific sound it is wise to compare. One perfect sound is better than a dozen second choice sounds. To summarize it is a damn good sounding tight puchy and fat. The perfect Fuzz for the first time buyer or the guy wanting to tiptoe into Fuzzland as you can dial in very near OD sounds or the real deal. It is reasonably priced.
