Reviews

PROS

  • Dual Overdrive (Pork) and Fuzz (Pickle) modes offer versatile sound shaping

  • Internal trimpots for detailed tone control, including a unique “curve” and “presence” feature

  • External clean blend allows for transparent boost settings, maintaining low end

  • Fuzz section delivers from moody to massive Big Muff sound with smooth scooped mids

  • Overdrive mode avoids harsh compression and trebly edge, preserving original tone

  • Compact, reliable, and integrates well with other pedals like wah and envelope filters

  • Offers both vintage and heavy metal distortion tones reminiscent of the '80s

  • Clean blend and tone controls, though small, enhance sound customization

CONS

  • Cannot foot-toggle between Overdrive and Fuzz modes; lacks a stomp switch

  • Clean blend isn't purely dry, slightly affecting the signal with a "British-style preamp"

  • Small knobs for clean blend and tone can be hard to read and adjust during play

  • OD/Fuzz switch not separate, limiting on-the-fly mode switching

Critic Reviews

Way Huge Pork & Pickle Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

The Way Huge WHE214 Pork and Pickle Overdrive & Fuzz pedal impresses with its dual-circuit design, combining the revered sounds of the Pork Loin and Russian Pickle pedals. This mashup provides bassists with versatile tone options, from sweetened overdrive to wonderfully nasty fuzz. The pedal's clean blend and tone controls add stability and flexibility, making it a great fit for both vintage and modern sounds. However, the lack of an additional footswitch for easier toggling between fuzz and overdrive is a notable drawback. Despite this, the pedal is a solid choice for those seeking a blend of classic Way Huge tones in one package.
