Sound: The sound gets you everything from the russian to american big muff. You have to surrender your tone to this machine. The first time I ever plugged it in I did a small bit of tweaking and it just sounded more professional than an EH pedal. Feature: Its a fuzz pedal, so the baseline is "not to versatile"- but here you get some extra scoop versatility and crunch versatility. Ease of Use: A bit lower, but its worth it once you get to know it. Quality: Its tough enough for you- if you take care of it. Value: You get what you pay for, its worth it. Manufacturer Support: n/a The Wow Factor: Its called a "swollen pickle" its silly, but stupidly sexy. Overall: I own all of the way huge reissues. I replaced an tube screamer, big muff, russian muff and a few boss pedals with these. THey may not be boutique in the true sense, but for "production cars" they are the best- the sound quality and interaction with other pedals is superb. You won't be disappointed.

VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: It's sounds decent. The difficulty here stems not so much from the pedal itself, but from my inability to dial in a proper setting. Most of the combinations I've managed to come up with give me that "blanket over your amp feeling" or have heaps of artificial sounding compression or some other glaring defect. Feature: The scoop and crunch trim pots on the outside of the box are a nice touch...and there are still two more trim pots on the inside. If you were so inclined you could spend a lifetime dialing in different tones with this. Ease of Use: If you like experimenting, and dialing up tons of wild sounds, you will not have a problem achieving that goal. If you are trying to transfer that one specific sound in your head into reality, you might find it a bit more difficult. Sometimes two many options are not a good thing. Quality: Seems well made. I expect good things here. Same parent company as MXR and those pedals hold up well after falling out of moving cars. Value: This pedal is trading on the Way Huge name from the early 90s here. I knew that going into it, but the obvious versatility this pedal offered suckered me in. A Russian Big Muff for less then 60 bucks will get you much closer to both David Gilmour and Black Sabbath tones, so unless you are looking for something that really lets you dial up some odd tones, I'd give this one a pass. For the price, I don't think it holds up when compared to some of the offerings from smaller companies like MJM, Barber, or Blackout Effectors. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had the need. The Wow Factor: It looks like a Way Huge...maybe Digitech can resurrect Lovetone and these guys can duke it out for most disappointing 90s reissue. Overall: It's been a while (18 months) since Mr. Huge resurfaced as a subsidiary of Dunlop and tested the waters with a 3 pedal initial offereing. Since then, the only new pedal they released is the Angry Troll (which hasn't exactly taken off...I don't think they even carry it at Zzounds). I just doesn't seem like the magic is there with these.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.
