Needs more drive! Way Huge Camel Toe MKII Triple Overdrive, $349!

The Way Huge Camel Toe Triple Overdrive MkII is a combination overdrive pedal that brings together two of Way Huge’s most popular overdrive circuits—the Green Rhino and the Red Llama—in a single, versatile unit. Originally released in the 1990s, the Camel Toe was reissued as the MkII version, offering updated features, improved controls, and more tonal options for guitarists looking for everything from subtle overdrive to heavy distortion. This pedal is well-suited for players seeking a wide range of drive tones, from bluesy grit to powerful rock distortion.

Key Features:

  • Dual Overdrive Circuits:
    • Green Rhino Overdrive: Known for its midrange-focused overdrive, the Green Rhino section delivers a smooth, dynamic overdrive with bass and midrange controls. This allows players to dial in the perfect amount of low-end and midrange punch, making it great for rock, blues, and alternative genres.
    • Red Llama Overdrive: The Red Llama section is more fuzz-like in its tone, offering a thicker, more aggressive sound. It provides a warm, gritty distortion that is perfect for heavier playing styles and lead tones.
  • Blend Function: The Camel Toe MkII allows players to blend the Green Rhino and Red Llama circuits together, providing even more tonal possibilities. The combination of these two overdrives offers a unique, layered sound that can range from subtle breakup to full-on distortion.
  • Separate Controls: Each section of the pedal has its own volume and drive controls, allowing players to dial in specific tones for each overdrive circuit. This gives the Camel Toe MkII incredible flexibility, making it easy to switch between or blend the two distinct overdrive sounds.
  • Tone Shaping:
    • Green Rhino Controls: The Green Rhino side features bass and midrange controls in addition to volume and drive, giving players precise control over their tone. This makes it easy to emphasize low-end punch or cut through the mix with midrange focus.
    • Red Llama Controls: The Red Llama side has simpler controls, focusing on volume and drive for a more straightforward, fuzz-like distortion.
  • Footswitchable Channels: The Camel Toe MkII has separate footswitches for each circuit, allowing players to engage the Green Rhino or Red Llama individually or stack them for a more complex, layered sound.

Sound Profile:

  • Green Rhino: Offers a dynamic, midrange-heavy overdrive that is perfect for rhythm playing and leads. The extra control over the bass and midrange frequencies allows for a more tailored sound, making it suitable for a wide range of genres from blues to classic rock.
  • Red Llama: Delivers a thicker, more aggressive distortion, leaning toward a fuzz-like character. It excels at providing heavy, saturated tones that work well for solos or heavier rock styles.
  • Blended Tone: When both circuits are blended, the Camel Toe produces a rich, complex overdrive that combines the smoothness of the Green Rhino with the raw power of the Red Llama. This makes it an ideal pedal for players looking for versatility, allowing them to transition from subtle overdrive to heavy distortion with ease.

Applications:

  • Rock and Blues: The pedal’s wide range of overdrive and distortion tones makes it perfect for rock and bluesplayers. The Green Rhino provides the smooth overdrive needed for rhythm work, while the Red Llama can take over for more aggressive lead playing.
  • Lead and Rhythm: The ability to stack both circuits means you can use the Green Rhino for rhythm and then add the Red Llama for solos, creating a layered, dynamic sound that cuts through the mix.
  • Studio and Live Use: The Camel Toe MkII’s flexibility makes it a great tool for both live performances and studio recording, offering a wide variety of overdrive textures to suit different playing styles and genres.

Build Quality:

  • Durable Construction: The Way Huge Camel Toe MkII is built with rugged, high-quality components, ensuring that it can handle the rigors of touring and live performances. Its sturdy metal chassis is designed for longevity, while the control layout is intuitive and easy to use on stage.
  • Premium Design: The pedal’s design pays homage to Way Huge’s legacy of producing high-quality boutique pedals, featuring a sleek aesthetic that looks great on any pedalboard.
