Way Huge Pork Loin

With Volume, Overdrive and Tone controls the Pork Loin looks like any number of other overdrives – but appearances can be deceptive. This pedal has two distinct audio paths that are blended together to create the pedal's distinctive character. On one side there a modern soft-clipping BiFET overdrive with an HPF Tone control and a mini Curve function to fine-tune the 'corner' frequencies; the other side is a modified 'British style' clean preamp that blends with the overdrive via the Clean control.
Inside, three controls provide even more adjustability. Filter changes the clean preamp's tonal spectrum, Presence alters the high frequency response of the overdrive, and Drive Mix sets the balance of clean and overdrive.

Sound
This pedal is about subtle tweaking rather than heavy overdrive. To get your head around it, flip off the back, turn off the overdrive section, and set the Filter to optimise the clean tone. It's a near-transparent boost, but you can add plenty of zingy treble if you prefer.
Turn Clean fully off, then crank up Drive Mix to hear the overdrive alone. The tone is fairly neutral and it's more 'overdriven valve classic' than 'cascading gain metal monster'. From there you fine-tune the Presence and Tone controls to achieve the right balance for your guitar and amp.
With internal controls that allow all manner of fine adjustments, the Pork Loin is all about balancing the compressed grunt of the overdrive with the dynamic transparency of the clean side. You can roll off the overdrive's high frequency content and blend in some shimmery clean for sweet but well defined driven tones, or use the clean side to push the front end of your amp and bolster sustain and thickness with a hint of overdrive.
