My go-to overdrive

This thing is so much more useful than a TS9. A TS9 makes guitars sound a little naked because they suck away your bass and boost your mids. The low end control on this pedal is a perfect remedy for that. You can get that TS9 sound AND still sound like fat thunder. Or something. Sounds good when you use it to add grit to a clean signal. Sounds nasty when you boost a driven Marshall. It's the perfect overdrive.

Love it

I never heard about this pedal, until one day a piece of shit try to rip me off with an old amplifier (damaged) so he try to repay me with this OD. At first wasnt shure because i want my money back, but once i started to hearing it was like very surprised. Warming sound, very versatile and solid.

marco_brocchini

Even better than the Ibanez Tube Screamer!!! :)

This pedal is absolutely fucking awsome, it´s sond´s amazing , looks amazing and has a good price for what it does. I paid 140 dolars at a Guitar Center Store and , I´ll keep it forver. It is like an Ibanez Tube Screamer but, even better, it is not as dark as it , it is very much more shiny like, you can reach in this pedal, all of the TS tones + even more. The versatility of this OD pedal is incredible, you can use it as a booster, as a clean pre amp, as a crunchy tube pre amp , as a good playability overdrive, as a solo overdrive . And , you can actually use this to push the amp like, if you have a tube amp that is not too loud , you can use this to push the signal very well. So, there is no more question, go to the store and buy it , you´ll have no regrets. Do you still don´t belive me? Surf the net by using Youtube to check it out.

The tones!

This was the first pedal I've owned it is great. When the drive is down it gives you a good crackle to your tones but when the drive is high you get a really good punchy sound. The perks of the pedal are you can shape your tones just to really dig into that signature sound your looking for. The only reason I didn't give it a 5th star is that it wasn't able to give me the tone I was looking for. It felt like a very low end boosted pedal to me. Even when I cut out the dbs it didn't have that oomf i needed

My favourite overdrive (so far)

Got this secondhand, without trying it and when I got to sit down and use it, I was in love. Turns out I love tubescreamer-esque sounds however this offers so much more. My favourite pedal of all time to this day, I'll hold onto it for as long as it'll last me.

Great overdrive for bass

Such a beast on bass! Gives that perfect gritty tone and has a ton of low end.

808 and some goodies

I love the 808, but Way Huge hit it all the way home with a tone, mid, and bass control... perfect for screaming and light drive...

"My favorite effect pedal is the Green Rhino. It's more of a tube overdrive made by Way Huge. Problem I have with my overdrives, the ones I've experienced like the Boss and Aguliar, they sound nice but they really don't retain the low end, but the Green Rhino does."
