Pedal Review: Way Huge Red Llama MKII

Way Huge Red Llama ($120)

Way Huge’s Red Llama MkII is a simple pedal that does one thing awesomely well: highly musical overdrive/distortion. While the name implies a redesign, it’s more of a second coming. The Red Llama (street $120) is a reissue of what became a highly sought-after pedal after it disappeared in 1999, now resurrected by Dunlop.

The Red Llama is marketed as a “special seasoning” to any amp, and it certainly plays well with even the most temperamental tube amp, while adding plenty of raunch to a solid-state amp.

What makes the Red Llama so compelling is how it pairs its meaty growl with abundant headroom. And no matter where I positioned the volume or drive, the Red Llama added a burly muscularity to riffs and chords alike, even when I engaged only the volume and used it as a booster.
