Dunlop WHE207 Way Huge Green Rhino Overdrive

Dunlop · pedal

The Way Huge Green Rhino Overdrive, model WHE207, is a Tube Screamer-derived overdrive pedal from Way Huge, the boutique sub-brand of Jim Dunlop, featuring expanded controls beyond the standard TS layout. The Green Rhino retains the midrange-focused smooth saturation characteristic of Tube Screamer-style designs while adding a 100Hz bass frequency boost control, a separate Presence control for high-frequency shimmer, and switchable clipping diode options. This expanded control set addresses the most frequent criticisms of standard TS-style circuits, particularly the limited bass response that can thin out single-coil guitars. The Green Rhino is positioned as a refined, more flexible evolution of the Tube Screamer platform.
