The Swollen Pickle MkIIS has all the fuzz and features of the MkII model in a pedalboard-friendlier size. This Swollen Pickle covers a wide range of tonal territory from classic-rock crunch to laser-y shoegaze to total sputtery destruction. A Filter knob lets you reign in the treble content from bright and fizzy to dark and woolly, and a Sustain control lets you adjust for different pickup outputs and playing styles. Onboard Scoop and Crunch controls let you adjust the midrange and compression characteristics, while under the hood, internal Clip and Voice pots let you dial in the fuzz characteristics and midrange contour.

• About Way Huge pedals

One thing Sweetwater guitarists particularly appreciate about the Swollen Pickle line is its wide range of usable tones. Modern to vintage, aggressive to smooth, full frequency to midrange heavy, the Swollen Pickle packs a lot of sonic diversity into a single pedal.

Fans who loved the additional features of the Swollen Pickle v2 will love the smaller MkII2. Features include a tone stack Scoop control that adjusts from classic Swollen Pickle mid-scoop to a flat mid-frequency sweep, and a Crunch knob that lets you adjust the compression intensity of the fuzz.

Open up the Swollen Pickle and look inside and you'll find 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. These controls make the Swollen Pickle a tremendously tweakable pedal that advanced users are sure to love.

Way Huge founder Jeorge Tripps fired up his first Way Huge creation, the Fuzz Box, back in 1992, and soon created a stable of amazing-sounding stompboxes with equally interesting names. Though Way Huge closed up shop in 1999, demand for these pedals continued to soar; as you'd expect, online auctions brought astronomical prices for Way Huge products. Now, Way Huge teams up with Dunlop to make their premium-quality stompboxes available to you at much more down-to-earth prices. And they're better than ever!
