NAMM 2014: Jim Dunlop Introduces Way Huge Havalina Germanium Fuzz Pedal
The Havalina Germanium Fuzz from Way Huge Electronics is a germanium-powered fuzz box inspired by a vintage three-transitor design that was a psychedelic shot-heard-round-the-world for guitar players, ushering in the new sound of rock.
Designed around hand-selected Russian germanium transistors and a passive tone circuit, this peccary of a pedal can go from a soft, mellow crunch for meaty chords to a maelstrom of sonic fur that will make every note feel like a summer of love. Prepare to have your mind bent when you ride the Havalina!
- Based on a ’60s UK germanium fuzz circuit
- Simple three-knob layout
- Features hand-selected Russian germanium transistors and a passive tone circuit
- Go from soft, mellow crunch to gnarly sonic fur
MSRP: $171.41 | SHIPPING MARCH 2014
