Way Huge made its name long before the boutique pedal craze with a number of highly regarded offerings with strange names like The Swollen Pickle Fuzz, Pork Loin Overdrive, and Fat Sandwich Distortion. Now part of the Dunlop Manufacturing empire, some of these high quality, true bypass pedals are being reissued at reasonable prices.
As of February 2010, the next reissue to hit the streets is the famous Aqua Puss Analog Delay (US$150). According to the marketing materials, the Aqua-Puss MkII is "ready to bathe a tone-thirsty world in gorgeously smooth delay. One twist of the Delay knob takes you from a tight 20ms delay to a cavernous 300ms. The Feedback control regulates delay duration and intensity. But watch out. Extreme settings can send the Aqua-Puss MkII into self-oscillating psycho-freak-out mode! Meanwhile the Blend knob lets you set a balance between dry and delayed signal—from mild to wild."
Kudos to Dunlop and Way Huge Electronics founder Jeorge Tripps for working together to recreate authentic versions of these classic pedals and bring them to market.
