JIM DUNLOP Smalls Pork & Pickle Overdrive and Fuzz (WM91)

Want that subtle grit drive? This does it well. Med gain drive sounds great. Russian muff? This is as good or better than a green Russian. And in one pedal. The drive was similar to another drive I have or I would have kept it. Now I wish I had. Miss the drive with fuzz/muff option. Will most likely get another one in near future.

After using a SA After Shock and a Alpha Omicron. I decided to try this pedal it’s more of what I was looking for, both in tone and ease of use.

Amazing piece

Truthfully this kinda changed the game for me. I use the pork and pickle both in fuzz form and overdrive. I am using this with the orange little bass thing, 2 4x10 swr cabs, and an ampeg ba115. This thing really gives superior overdrive and fuzz to anything out there on the market currently for bass.

They did a great job of cramming two excellent pedals into a smaller, bass friendly package. Makes your bass sound huge without losing your low end. I prefer the overdrive. Your tone will still sound warm, too.

Two in one awesomeness! Great tone and no signal loss. Highly recommend!

I'm a keyboardist/guitarist primarily, but my first instrument was bass, and recently got back into it. I was hoping to find something that could provide fuzz and overdrive, this seemed perfect. I've owned tons of pedals, even now own about 15-20. Hadn't ever bought a way huge, for no specific reason, but WILL NEVER buy another. This isn't even about taste or sound, this thing is junk. For starters.........The casing in garbage, I opened it up to put a battery in, the cheap metal housing shards broke off, and got stuck in my fingertip, causing a bad splinter infection that lasted over a week (should have stopped there, HADN'T EVEN PLAYED IT YET), also, who is going to switch out a battery at a gig that required this much effort to remove, pedals a third of this price have accessible battery compartments, ( EHX don't and I respect that, but this is not EHX build quality)! Next, I went to use a power supply instead, since it was clear this was going to continue to cause problems down the road. Then, I noticed a repeated problem, it was so tiny and light that my cables kept flipping it over, tried to set in on a chair, it flipped off, bounced onto the floor. At this point i'm thinking "this has to be a joke, who makes a pedal like this for bass players (FOR THIS PRICE), that maybe use 1,2,3 pedals, and this actually alleviates 2 so, yeah, why not make this at lease weigh enough to sit properly?! I mean, I've owned those little mooer pedals and they felt like more money went into them than this, this felt, like it should have cost 19.99, seriously. I mean, why not even bother including rubber feet, that's like pennies, COME ON! Next the internal build, well first, everything is surface mounted to the main board, I MEAN EVERYTHING, the freaking jacks are as well, so if ANYTHING goes, it's going in the trash. Then, you have these mini trim pots, they seem fragile as hell, and I'm not even sure they were working to be honest. I'm sure the clean tone blend did, but it didn't do a whole lot. Next the volume jump at 12 o'clock, yes you can open it up and adjust to make it less severe, but should you have to? Speaking of the inside trim pots, they were a joke, only ones that effected the sound where to channel volume ones, the other 2 didn't really do anything. SO then the channels, well to be completely honest, this feels like a total scam, because the "overdrive" channel literally feels like a filtered lower drive version of the fuzz channel. The fuzz channel just feels like a brighter drive channel, with a mids sweep. I would bet money these aren't different circuits, also because looking on the inside, there is a board the size of a match box, so where is the cost in this thing? why so expensive? I've had tons of big muffs over the years, none sounded this weak. The fuzz channel has virtually no difference between 3 and onward. Something felt off, so I broke out my Boss hyper fuzz, and my Keeley Loomer (both fuzz pedals), they wiped the floor with this thing. Showed it has no focus, and is just too boomy and fizzy with no mid punch of any kind (isn't that was drive and fuzz are for...?) Biggest issues from a sound point. It feels like the fuzz and drive are not versatile enough, the mini pots down do not offer enough versatility in tone. Though it says that it completely cuts out dry tone (mini pots), I am super skeptical of that, because it never sounds completely gone. The fuzz channel is so scooped and boomy, that you practically NEED to mix in dry tone to compensate for it. Last, the switch feels super cheap, like how will this last till next year cheap. That is unacceptable for this price. I am also skeptical of reviews, as they all seem paid for on youtube, no salt of the earth dude with a rig giving an honest review. I question praise this thing gets, because for the markup, I bet it's worth it to just pay people to praise it. Not only will I never be buying a way huge fuzz again, I will probably pass on the Way Huge line from here on out.

excellent...
