Dunlop · pedal
The Way Huge WM31 Supa-Lead Overdrive is a mini format overdrive from the Smalls line, voiced to capture the dynamic, touch sensitive lead tones of a cranked classic British stack. It delivers crunchy, mid rich amp style overdrive that responds strongly to pick attack and guitar volume, cleaning up to lighter breakup and pushing into singing, saturated lead gain. With simple controls in a space saving enclosure, it offers a Marshall flavored rock voice that works as a primary drive or to push an amp harder. It suits classic rock, hard rock and blues rock players who want expressive, British voiced overdrive and lead tones in a compact, pedalboard friendly box.
