Reissue of the first and highly coveted Way Huge pedal. Boutique style overdrive with a small Tweed Amp style tone. Transparent and responsive to playing dynamics.
The often imitated but never duplicated thunder of the Red Llama is back! This is not a reproduction, but a continuation of where the groundbreaking archetype left off in 1999. Every single feature that made the WHE203 Red Llama so mighty is still in place, right where Mr. Huge left them. Season to taste any amp, big or small, clean or dirty the Llama is the perfect compliment to them all, with a rich harmonic palette available on the austere control panel. Spin the drive knob and go from a gentle grind all the way up to massive distortion. Use lower settings for defined open chording or juiced clean tones. Go a little higher for crunchy power fifths, and crank it up for buttery lead tones and tight, bottom-heavy riffage. The volume control sets the desired amount of overall level, but be forewarned: The output capabilities of the WHE203 Red Llama are legendary, with more than enough gain to force even the cleanest, most stubborn amps to submit their headroom.
This is how you wished your Fuzzface sounded... Fat and Harmonic. And it cleans up like a vintage Fender amp when you turn down your guitar's volume control. The Rolling Stones and the Black Crowes have discovered this trick. If you love the first 2 Hendrix releases then you'll love this pedal, with 2 Germanium transistors hand-picked and tested for optimum performance. A Contour Knob lets you dial in Midrange, Harmonics and Sustain, also an Input Bias knob that takes out the "woofiness" and gives great Overdrive/Distortion sounds when its level is reduced. An Internal Trimmer allows for adjustment of Clipping Symmetry, Harmonics, and Tracking. Specifications subject to change at any given moment due to availability... and whimsy. True-Bypass w/LED is standard equipment to preserve tone when the pedal is off!
The SLOstortion brings the awesome tone of those killer high-wattage heads and famous preamps together into one package, with a voicing that will be maintained across virtually any setup. No need to worry whether you'll have a good clean tone and a good distorted tone. Just your favorite amp and the SLOstortion to take your tone places walked by some of the best guitar-slingers from the 1980s to today. It features a great three-band EQ to make sure you can have "The Tone" through YOUR setup, whatever it may be. The gain is switchable between two separate modes to capture the nuances and flavor of its inspiration. The normal mode will go from a nearly clean tone to a tight, defined crunch, and the high gain mode goes all out. It's responsive, too, and to top it off, even when the tone is as heavy as it gets, the pedal doesn't squeal and hiss with noise. No sacrifices for your rig.
Since the Vahlbruch "Jewel Drive" is more a so-called "medium-gain" overdrive pedal, the "Sapphire Drive" offers higher gain/distortion sounds. It´s still a very open sounding pedal with a great transparency, also the 6 knobs are closely related to the "Jewel Drive". The "Sapphire Drive" is a pure 100% analog hand-built two channel distortion effect pedal, especially designed to offer you authentic tube overdriven amp sounds ranging from sparkling clean to moderate crunch to more distorted sounds. This pedal is extremely open sounding with high transparency and wide dynamics. The "Sapphire Drive" reacts extraordinary touch sensitive, the differences between softer and harder picking are reproduced in every nuances. Due to it´s novel and unique analog circuit, the "Sapphire Drive" creates a rich, complex and beautiful singing overtone texture, while the inherent tone of your amp and guitar you are playing is perfectly preserved.
Gentlemen/women, start your engines. This pedal is so dangerous that I’m sure I’ll be getting a lot of complaint emails that people have blown up their amps using it. So let’s just start this off by saying I WARNED YOU TO BE CAREFUL. The SUPER-DUPER 2-IN-1™ has two of the infamous but rather delightful Super Hard-On™ pedals in one small box. Also, in this SUPER-DUPER 2-IN-1 is a Master Volume control that lets you use it as an overdrive/distortion
with any output volume.
