This one of those pedals that has been lurking around the background of my a thoughts for awhile but took a long time for me to really get a handle on. I had finally written a review for it in January and my laptop took a header while I was out and about and poof… Gone. So a few photos on my desktop and the unedited video have sat ever since. I’m finally motivating myself to clean up these old messes and reclaim things the best I can.

The Way Huge line of pedals is one of the significant milestones in the birth of the boutique pedal market. I’ve always been curious about their application on bass guitar and a recent trade has landed the Purple Platypus on my door step. The loss of access to a video camera has kept me away for a bit, but this pedal seemed an easy way (only two knobs!) to get back on the horse with the new camera.

Certainly not a pedal designed with bass in mind and sadly it shows. Manipulation of the Dirt knob from anything but the maximum position acts as an extremely strong gate that decimates the bulk of your signal. This impacted all of the basses I tested both active and passive. The highest levels on the dirt knob yielded some interesting, if still low ending robbing, results. It’s something that may be worth exploring if you or a friend happen across one, but hardly worth the price they demand on the secondary market

I wrote a lengthy review for this pedal in January, but lost it during a hard-drive crash on my laptop. I’ve not had the gumption to get it going again, and frankly I have since sold the pedal. That said, I took the time to grab the photos and edit the video and I’ve let that sit for too long.
