    Way Huge and Jim Dunlop present a series of instructional demos that
    provide overviews of Jeorge Tripps' signature Way Huge pedal line along
    with professional tips on how to use the pedals in musical ways.
    In this episode, the Red Llama's ability to seamlessly work with an existing amp tone is on full display. Tal Morris demonstrates how to use it as a clean, uncolored boost to hit your amp's front end or as a device to mix in some dirt that sounds like its coming from your amp. Like many of Jeorge Tripps' designs, this pedal is built to provide a wide dynamic range, cleaning up with a simple roll-off of guitar volume.
    The transparent and organic qualities of this pedal translate to any guitar/amp combination. To demonstrate this, the next episode features the Red Llama working with a humbucker style guitar and a high gain amp setting:

    Most unstated underrated pedal there is. Most organic cranked fender amp style drive pedal I’ve ever played. I really do not understand why not every single blues musician has one of these on their board. This through a black face amp sounds monstrous and allows you to get the sound of a cranked fender amp at lower volumes it’s really great.

      Complete agree. I finally bought last year a Way Huge Camel Toe MKII just because of the Llama side. It sounds beautiful pushing my Bassbreaker 007 combo. When off, the amp sounds Marshall-ish. Engaged, the Llama fully uncovers the tweed soul of the Bassbreaker. Love it.

    When I started to watch this, I knew this is the pedal I need right after my MXR distortion+. That's what I love about those pedals, they don't mess your amp tone. And for me, my friends, tone and volume MUST come right after your amp, not your pedals. The distortion+ and this sweet baby red llama do exactly that, the push your amp while your tone remains almost intact. Worth the shot

    К сожалению, как пишут специалисты, (как я их понял)) эффекты на CMOS чипах очень неудобны тем, что не все микросхемы вписываются в режим (то есть плохая повторяемость) , имеет значение плотность монтажа, и прочие минусы. Микросхемы серии 40ХХ (а уж тем более К561ЛА2) внутри себя имеют (порою) разный набор компонентов и разные, в зависимости от года и фирмы выпуска, характеристики.
    Транзисторы внутри микросхемы имеют отличие от "поштучных" транзисторов .
    И вряд ли изготовители микросхем публикуют характеристики внутренних полевых транзисторов.

      I've used this with several guitars from my lower output single coil Fender Duo Sonic to my high output humbucker Fender Jaguar Blacktop. Depending on the pickups, you're gonna notice a huge difference. At least I did. Had to play around with settings for each guitar. I will say it did sound less aggressive on the single coils. Tom Petty had one which is why I got 25th Anniversary Edition one with the tone knob. On the Duo Sonic dialed in just right for I Won't Back Down.

    Way Huge came out back in the early 90s, and there were major write-ups and reviews which made me want to get 3 or 4 of the pedals, but they went under in 2 weeks, pathetic. And here, 500 years later, Dunlop gives them a diaper so they can make pedals again. Thank you, no. Way Huge are too wishy-washy.

    • @scottlovette5207
      @scottlovette5207 9 років тому +14

      I'm not sure why that is wishy-washy. A company went out of business and a larger, more successful company, decided to bring them back - including the original designer/builder. That seems like a good thing...maybe I'm missing something.

    • @robertcaple5165
      @robertcaple5165 9 років тому +9

      Dunlop has a marketing team, and distribution channels that Tripps lacked in the 90's. While there is probably no small amount of corporate oversight and direction of the Way Huge line, it's not like the name is going under so quickly this time around. Also, Way Huge is an intellectual property, purchased by Dunlop. They could issue anything they wanted under the name, but they have elected to re-issue and improve certain designs, and allow the original proprietor of the brand to have a say in what is made. That is uncharacteristically cool of a large company like that.
      While I can sympathize with an anti-corporate sentiment, and a general distaste for macro-marketing done by the companies, this instance is not one that I have a huge problem with. It is a little deceptive though, in that people may not understand that they're purchasing a Dunlop product when it says "Way Huge" on the pedal. Materials enclosed with my Swollen Pickle cleared this up, but I honestly thought Way Huge was its own company when I purchased the pedal.
