Dunlop Manufacturing honors some of the first pedals to put designer Jeorge Tripps and his Way Huge brand on the map in the mid '90s, first up is the Swollen Pickle Jumbo Fuzz.

This partnership has done more than just bring the pedal back from the realm of hard-to-find cult collector “unobtainium”—it’s also given Mr. Tripps a chance to evolve that super-saturated sound and pedal size for today's sonic voyagers.

The Swollen Pickle Jumbo Fuzz MkIIS serves up the same burly high gain fuzz as the full-sized MkII but in a more petite package. With a twist of the Sustain control, you're taken from mild crunch to Armageddon! The Filter control retains its trademark insane range of heavily bandpass-filtered tones, distinguished by remarkable girth and sizzle, and the Loudness puts out enough volume to clobber any amp! The Scoop tone stack control elicits classic Swollen Pickle mid-scoop or a flat mid-frequency sweep, and the Crunch knob adjusts the compression intensity of the fuzz. Finally, under the hood, the MkIIS has two internal mini controls: Voice sets the intensity of the external scoop control from light to heavy mid cut, and Clip varies between two sets of clipping diodes for smooth or opened fuzz sustain.

The Way Huge Smalls Swollen Pickle Jumbo Fuzz concentrates all the potent flavors of its predecessors into a super pedalboard-friendly housing with a simpler interface so that you can plug in and serve up savory saturation in no time at all. Use the Loudness, Sustain, and Filter controls to season your sound to taste. For further customization of your delicious dish, flip the Scoop switch to carve out the mids for power chords that sound huge, and use the Crunch switch to toggle compression intensity. Flipping both switches down delivers the classic three-knob Swollen Pickle setup. In its condensed form, the Swollen Pickle Jumbo Fuzz is no less potent—it still has more fuzz than a moldy peach!
