Way Huge Electronics
Way Huge Electronics was launched as a boutique guitar pedal brand in 1992 by Jeorge Tripps. It didn’t take Tripps long to make waves amongst Southern Californian guitar players with 15 inventive pedals that quickly gained popularity such as the Red Llama Overdrive and the Swollen Pickle Fuzz.
Wanting to delve into something different, Tripps made the decision to close the Way Huge doors to hone his craft on other products in 1999. This created a frenzy of demand, driving online auctions sometimes into the thousands for one of his creations. In 2006, the opportunity for Tripps to make Way Huge exactly how he wanted to arose when Jim Dunlop welcomed Jeorge and his pedals into the Dunlop family. With a dedicated design team and an already efficient production facility at his disposal, this partnership allowed Way Huge to soar to its full potential, bringing vintage sounds to the masses at an affordable price.
Tripps is very much still at the epicentre of Way Huge Electronics’ eclectic sounds. From modulation to distortions, Way Huge have something for everyone. Some of their most popular fuzz pedals are the Conquistador and Havalina or recently their intergalactic fuzz pedal in the Stone Burner Sub Atomic Fuzz, all of which are guaranteed to make you stand out. Recent releases include the Smalls Geisha Drive which has all the kick of the original Geisha Drive but in smaller housing.
Some of the artists that have used Way Huge products include Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Beck and Queens of the Stone Age.
