Way Huge Pork Loin

Way Huge · pedal

The Way Huge Pork Loin is an overdrive built around a soft-clipped BiFET gain stage blended with a separate clean path modeled on a classic British preamp, letting players mix in clean signal alongside the drive for extra thickness and definition. It adds grit without over-processing the tone or thinning out the low end, fattening single-coil pickups in particular without turning muddy, and pairs especially well with a bright Tele bridge pickup for a tone that's thick yet cutting, reminiscent of vintage rock tones like early Black Crowes recordings. Its clean-blend feature is the standout control. It is voiced on the darker side, so neck-pickup or middle-position combinations can sound overly dark on some guitar and amp pairings.
