Dunlop Way Huge WM91 Pork & Pickle

Dunlop · pedal

The Way Huge WM91 Pork & Pickle is a mini bass overdrive and fuzz that combines elements of the Pork Loin overdrive and the Swollen Pickle fuzz, tuned for bass. It offers warm, dynamic low gain overdrive on one side and thick, massive fuzz on the other, with a clean blend that preserves bass fundamentals so the low end stays full under saturation. From subtle grit to huge, fuzzy bass walls, it covers a wide range of dirty bass tones. It suits rock, stoner, punk and experimental bassists who want both overdrive and fuzz with retained low end in a compact, pedalboard friendly enclosure.
