The Way Huge Smalls Pork and Pickle Bass Overdrive and Fuzz pedal fuses together two excellent existing tones – the Pork Loin Overdrive and the Russian-Pickle Fuzz – and packs them into one compact housing. This is a truly tasty bass playing proposition.

On-the-Fly Switching

Swap between the two contrasting tones through the flick of one dedicated switch. Immediately select from the soft, warmer sonics of the Pork Loin and then quickly swap to the fat, decadent sound of the Russian-Pickle.  Each will then be complimented by the current settings you’ve applied to the tone, volume and drive controls.

Clean and Lean

The pedal features the Pork Loin Overdrive’s iconic clean channel (a specialised British style preamp) which can be used alongside either mode. This allows you to make use of the Russian-Pickle fuzz simultaneously, opening up a whole host of new creative possibilities!

Tweak Your Tones

Use the presence and curve controls to craft your ideal Pork Loin tone. You can then mould both circuits further, utilising the level control to affect how much fuzz or overdrive you release via the external volume control.

Features

  • Combines the Pork Loin Overdrive and the Russian-Pickle Fuzz.
  • Easily swap between them using the dedicated Fuzz/OD switch. 
  • Craft the sound of the Pork Loin signal using the presence and curve controls.
  • Both the Russian-Pickle and Pork Loin circuits feature individual level control – configure the amount of fuzz/overdrive that is released.
  • Internal controls – craft more developed tones and sonic possibilities.
  • Use the Clean Blend and Tone controls to add further variation to your sound.

Fuzz

A fuzz pedal is one of the earliest and most aggressive forms of distortion, turning your clean guitar signal into a thick, saturated wall of sound. It works by clipping the waveform almost flat, creating a compressed, gritty tone full of harmonic overtones. The result is raw, unruly, and unmistakable — from the sputtering breakup of vintage germanium circuits to the searing sustain of modern silicon designs. Fuzz pedals react strongly to your guitar’s volume and pickup choice, making them dynamic tools for expressive players.

Whether you’re chasing the classic tones of Hendrix and the Smashing Pumpkins or exploring heavy, experimental textures, fuzz remains a favourite for its personality and unpredictability. It can sound smooth and sustaining, or wild and velcro-like, depending on how it’s set up. A good fuzz pedal cuts through the mix while adding thickness and attitude, turning any riff or lead line into something bold and unmistakably alive.

Overdrive

Like a golden layer of melted cheese — warm, gooey, and just put it all over. It adds just the right amount of richness and grit, turning a clean signal into something smooth and savoury. Designed to mimic the natural breakup of a tube amp pushed to its sweet spot, overdrive delivers the flavour of classic rock and blues in every bite. From creamy mid-gain warmth to crisp edge-of-breakup sparkle, it’s the comfort food of guitar tone — simple, satisfying, and endlessly versatile. Whether it’s a mild crunch or a full-bodied roar, overdrive is where good taste begins.

Preamp

A preamp pedal shapes and boosts your guitar’s signal before it reaches your amp or recording interface, giving you control over tone, gain, and headroom. It acts as the first stage of amplification, adding warmth, clarity, and character while preparing your signal for the next part of the chain. Some preamps emulate the response of classic valve circuits, while others offer clean, transparent tone shaping ideal for acoustic instruments or direct recording setups.

Used on its own, a preamp pedal can serve as the foundation of your tone, providing a consistent core sound wherever you play. When combined with other effects, it enhances dynamics and helps each pedal sound more defined and natural. Whether you’re looking to push your amp harder, bring life to a dull signal, or refine your sound for the studio, a good preamp pedal adds presence, punch, and musicality to any rig.

Volume

Volume pedals control the output level of a guitar signal using a foot-operated treadle. They allow smooth volume swells, dynamic control during playing, and easy muting between songs. Volume pedals can be placed at different points in the signal chain to either control overall loudness or adjust gain and drive behaviour when positioned before distortion or overdrive pedals.
