Way Huge Electronics WHE201 Pork Loin Overdrive

Way Huge Electronics' Pork Lion Soft Clip Injection pedal is a unique overdrive and guitar preamplifier pedal. The overdrive is a soft clip overdrive, while the preamplifier is for getting clean sounds. The pedal is analog and consists of a 1/4" input, a 1/4" output, and a nine volt power supply jack. It also has a battery compartment for a nine volt battery and is a true bypass pedal. It isn't rack mountable in any way since it's a stomp box.

UTILIZATION

The make up of the Way Huge Electronics Pork Lion Soft Clip Injection pedal is generally pretty easy to follow. The pedal has a good amount of parameters to work with, making the pedal extremely flexible. These parameters include knobs for volume, tone, overdrive, clean level, and curve. This should be self explanatory enough where you don't need a manual.

SOUND QUALITY

The tone quality of the Way Huge Electronics Pork Lion Soft Clip Injection pedal is overall outstanding. I love the way both the overdrive and the clean preamp sound across the board. I've used it with a few different guitars including a Fender Stratocaster and a Gibson Les Paul, both plugged into my '76 Fender Twin Reverb. It's the perfect pedal to use for any situation, as it covers both your overdrive sound and for times that you might want a little extra sparkle to your clean sound from the amp. It's possible to get all sorts of different tones with the pedal as well within the larger brackets of overdrive and clean sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

Way Huge Electronics has a really impressive line of high quality effects pedals, and the Pork Lion Soft Clip Injection is one of my favorites for a number of reasons. The main reason is for it's versatility and overall impressive sound. I feel like I'd have a great sound and rig going with just this pedal, my amp, and my guitar. While you can't get every sound in the world with this pedal (as of course no pedal can), for what this does do, it's one of the best of it's kind in my opinion....

<img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="biggrin" /> This little box color "aubergine" is all that is most standard and look at settings. But she hides her game because once opened it contains three knobs that allow fine tuning of its parameters. Of course it is pure analog everything. Two jacks in addition, must plug it.

UTILIZATION

Sound side, it's simple, you plug it plays, turn the knobs and immediately found a cool sound. This pedal can be used as overdrive and then through the internal settings such as boost when using the saturation of the amplifier, thereby giving a boost to the sound of the solos.
The manual is clear, the functionality of each knob is well explained, but it must master the language of our English friends.

SOUND QUALITY

I used a lot of pedals and cranks in my long search for her and I must say that this little box is really up to my expectations. Sure there will be no saturation extreme with this toy, but a great many musical overdrive and warm.
Be careful though with what amp you will use it as an amp that sounds pretty clear with lots of treble, you may be disappointed. I tested this pedal with my head orange "tiny terror", the sound is very creamy with a nice soft saturation, which sounds very 70's rock. By a head against Laney lionheart LH-20 is not the same, the sound is much more showy.
So I would need to test it with the config before you buy, it does not fit the ears of all guitarists.
Otherwise you get with a Start or a Les Paul sounds very fleshy, fat which can be called "pork away" (through or pork loin).
I personal love the sound of this pedal and the possibility of settings so I put a 9.5 / 10

OVERALL OPINION

I have first tested this pedal with me before you buy (loan store), which allowed me to quietly try a lot of configurations (guitars, amps, effects) and I would say that with a les paul type scratches and a slight crunch at the amp, plus the pedal it sounds like love, fat, syrupy, dirty, bluesy wish.
With one strat is very good too, the same barrel, but from there you can clear sound at the amp.
It seems that the designer of this pedal stopped in manufacturing in the late 90's, these models are new editions produced "Dunlop", with its support, however, snapped up the original models, in the words, price Gold!
I also use another pedal in the range of "fat sandwich", a distortion, I'll try and certainly if he deserves it leave a notice on the site.
This pedal is a very good choice, it's true she is not given, on average between 180 and 190 euros, there is a huge number of overdrive pedals on the market and it deserves attention.

pedal overdrive / preamp analog, true bypass, very complete: three classic knob (volume, tone, gain), two small knobs (clean to boost the signal clean and cut to fit the overdrive) and (no it's not finished ) three trimpot to the interior of the beast, I have not included the ...
pedal is well built, in / out, and the power supply (standard format, 9v/16, 5mmA) are on top, convenient and AC takes up little space, the pedal is small and, more Groos that a boss but less than a big muff for a construction quite similar, the pork is far more robust (and a bit thicker)
eggplant colored brushed aluminum, it has a apect original, but breathable quality

UTILIZATION

config was simple enough for me, I have virtually nothing has touched the inside, and turning it a little by here a little by I always have a good sound, which is cool because the manual is very funky enough succinct
I do not put the maximum, because it pisses me off me to disassemble the pedal to get access to all settings

SOUND QUALITY

bah !!!!!!!!!!!
it sounds really, you know, hot, bold and very late in the low load, I use two Gibson Les Paul on a hot rod deluxe it sounds.
good overdrive, the ability of facing saturation or free clean slightly dirty in the background offers many opportunities, even in clean boost with a fuzz factory or a box of metal before it is quite simply amazing how the pork denatured away while adding body ...
Only one will remain aggressive in the AC is not an overdrive, so once accused nor is there any sound that is detestable

OVERALL OPINION

I've had today, and this is my first model (possess , I qq'zune test), and this will be the last I think, before I did not like the overdrive, before I saw it as a distortion asthmatics, then I realized that with a disto c ' fuzz that is aggressive and is often a mess ...
I told myself I judge the overdrive too quick, and the succulent pork loin only confirms
I like everything, I had a choice but too often disappointed boss, mxr Zack Wylde, I found too aggressive, not like TubeScreamer, I wanted to be original, and the pedigree of Way Huge (and mxr, the new owner) seemed to reassure me, because it gives me, yes I like everything except maybe the price is not cheap, but hey what gives ....
by lack of experience (my first overdrive to me!) I do not put the maximum
