The Geisha Drive (or just called Drive sometimes) was a limited run overdrive from Way Huge and is a great sounding circuit. It uses a quad opamp to form an input buffer stage, gain stage, followed by some hard clipping and a modified BMP tone stack, into the volume pot, followed by a gain recovery … Read more
“Way Huge” not only describes their enclosures, but also many of their circuits! Not quite as big as the Pork Loin, but still a monstrosity in its own right. 1590BB unless you wire all the pots offboard, then it’d fit in a 125B ok. Schematic and all that jazz here on FSB.
Here’s a really big one to kick off the week (might be the biggest dirt circuit I’ve ever laid out). The original Pork Loins have the Clean Tone, Presence, and Drive Mix pots internally, with 3 internal pots internally, and I’ve gone with the same configuration here. Schematic can be found here on FSB.
Here’s a bit of a rarer old school Way Huge circuit from the 90s. It’s essentially what would happen if a Red Llama and a Foxx Tone Machine had a baby. Original thread on FSB here with schematic.
Here’s the newest version of the Green Rhino from Way Huge. It’s similar to a Tube Screamer, but with a few extra stages and lots of modifications. I’ve laid it out for board mounted pots in a 1590BB. Here’s the schematic for reference.
Not a lot of info on this one, so here is what I found out about it: Uber Rare Way Huge Purple Platypus Octidrive only about 120 or so made. Essentially, this is a Red Llama Overdrive and an octave effect similar to the Green Ringer. A very specialized pedal, its best use is to … Read more
Here’s Way Huge’s take on the Ross Compressor. This is based on an original from the mid 90s that was traced over on FSB. It will fit in a 1590B with side mounted jacks or a 125B with top mounted jacks.
A modified Ross Compressor. Two simple controls sustain and level. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a video for the MKI, but as we all know if it’s been modified by Mr. Huge it’s going to sound great. Note: There’s a cut under D3 to the left of the 1nF cap that’s hard to … Read more
Once again, not much info on this one, but was made way back in ’92 and for a limited run. It’s a booster that’s more of a midboost/cocked wah tone. Unfortunately, there’s 0 videos I could find of it, but once again if it’s a Way Huge pedal it should be awesome. What’s interesting is … Read more
So I randomly stumbled across the schematic for this one over at FSB and as always thought it would be a nice addition. Just like any other Way Huge pedal I think it sounds badass. From the Source: The mighty Angry Troll Linear Boost Amplifier from Way Huge Electronics serves up generous portions of volume … Read more
