Way Huge Camel Toe
Well kids, it happened. Jeorge Tripps over
at Way Huge finally reissued the much
loved (lusted after?) Way Huge Camel
Toe. Sure, the name is unfortunate, as are
many of the names in the Way Huge line
of effects, but the tone and feature set
are to die for. For those who haven’t been
waiting with baited breath, the Camel
combines the Red Llama (modified Craig
Anderton Tube Sound Fuzz) and the Green
Rhino (modified Tube Screamer) into a
single housing. The switching options in
the Camel Toe are extremely versatile. You
can select to run it in “series” or “switch.”
In Switch, you engage the pedal and then
use the “Drive Select” to toggle between
Llama and Rhino. In Series mode, the
Rhino is on once you engage the Bypass
switch and then the Drive Select toggles
the Llama on for extra gain. Both options
offer a wide array of classic dirty tones. It’s
no secret that most of the legend around
the original Camel Toe came from its use
by Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the
Heartbreakers fame. It doesn’t matter that
most sources claim that Campbell only
uses the Rhino side. It does sort of matter
that this is a limited-release pedal. I hate
scarcity. Everyone should be free to enjoy
this fun little dirt device. Here’s to hoping
you bought one of these already or that
Way Huge will build more after this initial
run sells out.
