Kick on the pedal to get a thick tone that’ll sustain for hours!

Hi, my name is Charlie, I am 14 years old and Bonamassa is THE guitarist who inspired me to start playing. Atm I only have one Overdrive but I find it is a great boot up my amps arse if I have a little overdrive already on! I have been looking at the Pork Loin aswell as the new Custom Badass Modified Overdrive as I am also a big fan of Jeorge. I have never won one of these competitions so the win my dream pedal signed by my dream Guitarist would be to put it bluntly BADASS!

a nice warm overdriveeee!!!

I like to use it to give my leads a nice bump

To kick the amp just a little over the top..

I need this pedal so badly!

Just for a little edge/boost.

i’m lookin to upgrade, and i think this pedal would be killer to add to my chain

I use a warm overdrive just for that nice tone outta my strat

Level at 3 o’clock, gain at 9 o’clock and the tone a little under half way. Put that in front of a Marshall that’s a little crunchy and you get sweet sustain that will last for days. =)

i like to use overdrive to make my guitar sound as if it’s at 11 despite only being at 10 =(

Blues…that’s my style. I don’t really delve much into the inner workings of my gear, I just like to explore what sound i can get out any piece that i get my hands on.

I want this pedal , who do you want hit ? I am so there !!!!!!

Slamming the front end of a tube amp is the ONLY way

I like my amps to be a clean platform and get all of the gain from the pedal. I use Blackface Fender amps for this and I love overdrives and am a big Way Huge AND Joe Bonamassa fan!

I’m learning Texas blues, that’s were I will be using it

I use distortion to melt faces. Isn’t that the only way?

Hi Zeps from Portugal here
i like to use the overdrive on my Taylor acoustic guitar to play slide
this one looks like the one i’ve been searching for

I like to play a little of everything, so having a versatile overdrive is important to me. The Pork Loin fits the bill perfectly! I especially like the clean blend control.

For a bit of volume boost and sustain for days…listen!

Extra grind in front of a tube amp…set to respond to volume knob and picking dynamics.

i’d use it for bass to cut through the mix 

An overdriven sound as Basic sound an a pedal to drive it father to get those warm creamy tones

I like to add a bit of overdrive on top of a tube amp for extra crunch and sustain.

Tone crafting, that’s my style!

Augment an already distorted 6L6-based tube amp to give some extra color to some ripping pentatonic solos.

My Tele, Koko, would love a new friend. Someone to share cold winter nights with. Koko loves purple and loves pork loin sandwiches. I think these two would really have a chance in this crazy, messed up world.

I Love the warm sound of an overdrive, for a Blues tone…Ice Cream Man…

I used it in front of my tube amp, so I can go from growl to roar!!

I LOVE my Overdrive to be in front of the Amp.. The Boost is Incredible.. I also like to roll my LP Volume nobs back a bit to “Clean up” my sound.. then I turn it WIDE OPEN for my Solos!! I have Joe Bonamassa’s “Fuzz Face” number 0175!! Thank you Dunlop for making Great Pedals!!

I like to use overdrive to: scare the cat, piss off my neighbors, rattle the walls, tickle my nose hairs, play scorching blues solos, rock out “black dog”, start the day, make my fingers bleed, make my ears ring for hours, KEEP ROCK AND ROLL (AND BLUES) ALIVE!, to dominate the stage!, make the ladies swoon, to bust the guy at the bars beer bottle, reminess of the 60s and 70s, to make my stratocaster single coils beg for mercy, I like to use overdrive with my 72 dunlop crybaby (hendrixyyy), to prove that overdrive sounds better than distotion, and finally to make my mom proud

My favorite way to use overdrive is with a tube amp cranked at least half way up. It can add that little extra somethin’ to drive my tone over the top and I love it! Another way is during practice time when I can’t be so loud. Overdrive just makes it fun!

To get laid.

To cover up my mistakes

plug it in!

I’d use it to add a little sizzle on my leads!

My overdrive is always on no matter what sound clean or dirty, i think it gives everything a little more punch. been trying overdrives forever and haven’t found the right one. “Maybe this is it

To use it with my tube amp to give me that nice warm feeling.

just enough for badass sweetness.

Set it up for a good sustaining lead sound, and then use the guitar volume and/or picking strength to clean things up  as necessary!!!

Overdrive can be used for any amount of gain. Even no gain. You get so many tonal options that you really don’t need more than one channel on an amp. I like to use overdrive as either an added boost to an already crunchy gain sound. It adds sustain and makes for great fluid soloing!

To add smooth sustain

i like to use overdrive to add a little more sustain to my dirty channel for solo’s

I use overdrive slightly with a high gain amp. Adds some “nuts”. 

i like to use it in my pants

I like to set up all of my amps at the same time and put a piece of pork in front of the speakers and hit a nice power chord to power cook the pork to a nice golden brown color. Then I season and garnish the pork for a nice presentation.

I like to use overdrive to get sweet blues tone. that is all my friends

Overdrive is the foundation of my sound ..

The ONLY way to drive is OVER!!!!!

I like to use an overdrive in front of my tube amp. Rock n roll.

I like to use overdrive to add a little extra boost for screaming leads. I also really like pork loin and have been craving it. I got a great recipe. Both for the pork loin and the Pork Loin OD. I like to use them both together. good meal encourages good music creativity. Plus, Bonomassa’s signature may add some influence while playing this wonderful box. Overdrive has a multitude of uses for the many styles I play. This would help me to create some tone textures I haven’t been able to with some of my crappy distortion boxes. PORK LOIN!!!!!! I’ll probly cook one tonight. message me for my recipe, it’s delicious!
 

The OD goes best before the Fuzz. Individually, the OD & Fuzz can push a cranked tube amp into all those classic 70s tones we love. Engage the Fuzz and the OD together and you’re in Stoner tone Heaven. Thick, crunchy, buzzy, full, & fuzzy. The best of both worlds.

I use it to try and blow my stock speaker so I have an excuse to get and Alnico Blue.

I like overdrive after comressor then tube preamp … and the amp…  some kind of Gilmour sound … This make my strat sound so warm and with more sustain …

I use overdrive to boost my distortion from amp and cough cough to scare my neighbours cough

Overdrive is critical for adding thickness to rhythm playing, and for cutting through for soloing. I use it

all the time.

I like to use overdrive as a treble boost to my fuzz for solos, mostly. I also love to do just about anything else with it though! From subtly crunchy blues tones to SCREAMING HIGH-GAIN METAL DRIVE!!!!!! 

all knobs turned all the way up!!!

I keep my OD subtle.  I want a clear, shimmering signal.  I keep my single coil neck pickup kind of thin most of the time, but when I want it to punch through I want a simple solution, one button to punch.  And when I do want clipping, I want a lot of control over the sound.  This pedal looks like it’ll give me what I want.

I like to use overdrive to shove a normal distortion into a chaotic mess. To grime up synthesizers and to make a drum beat extra grimy. A little bit on a vocal isn’t bad either. Distortion is one of my most versatile effects and a good one goes a long way

i’d like to put it next to my Swollen Pickle pedal….i will use the Pork Loin for some bluesy solos!

I have 5 OD’s at the moment, and I have not found one yet that I’m in love with. Maybe the Pork Loin is the one for me?

To get the last drop of gain out of my amp for a crushing tone !

I like to use overdrive subtly, to add some sustain and a bit of “grind” to my sound, but I keep it moderately low for clarity.

I like to use overdrive for everything. I’m a vegetarian, but in this case, I would add “Pork Loin” to my diet.

I like to use my amps Overdrive to give it a fuzz-like tone, I then add the sounds of my Way Huge Swollen Pickle Jumbo Fuzz To give my strat a nice Jimmy Page tone…

I not only love overdrive pedals, but I collect them! And Way Huge is simply awesome!

i like to use overdrive to play some nice bluesy solos, and i also like to mix it with other pedals to find new sound but i mostly like to use overdrive to EXPRESS MY FEELINGS

I’d love to get a bit more hair on the dirt channel of my Fender Blues Deluxe- therefore the Pork Loin would be ideal!

I like a nice crunchy or heavy sound

Normally I leave the gain about 5%, and let it tighten up the overall tone of my guitar! And then sometimes I crank that Sh*T up and just rock with the juiciest gainiest tone I’ve ever heard!

To go to 11.

I use overdrive to get a little crunch for rhythm playing and added sustain for leads.

With a slightly overdriven amp, as a boost or get more distortion

I like to use my overdrive to make my guitar sound like it’s talking, crying and moaning. of course any instrument I play sounds like that.

I love overdrive!

When I am trying to blow the cloths off the hot chicks and I just need that little extra m/!!  Overdrive gets it done!!!  Causing nudity since 1971!!

I love ist, when the Overdrive Giese you the Little Bit more bitte and Soul when your playing the Blues

Hi! Much like Joe, I use overdrive to boost and already driven sound, I use overdrive pedals to search for a different sound that suits the music I hear in my head! Would love to win the pork loin as Joe is a massive inspiration and I need a new awesome OD!

to take it to Eleven.

I like to use an overdrive with my Marshall amp. I love to get the classic distortion of the 70′s. Mix in a little sustain and flange to get a Rush feel to my music.

Oink, Oink!!! I love to have the dog near when I step on it. That dog can howl baby!

I have no idea how I’d use the overdrive; I don’t have one…. YET! I will use the Way Huge Pork Loin Overdrive to make my dogs howl, my cats yowl, my wife growl and my guitar wail!!!

I like to use Overdrive in all it’s forms, pedals and amps. Distortion, overdrive, fuzz. Kicks things up a notch when needed..I’ve played this pedal and really liked it. I also OWN the Aqua Puss line in this series and it is my favorite pedal…
-Lego

this would  look good with my new music system  just the right color  it is  my favorite

Helps add more balls to the amp gain or distortion box to really give you a thick sound.

to push the amp harder

I think to begin with, a player has to be really satisfied with his guitar and amp.  I love the combination I am playing Strat through a Bogner Shiva but would love a smooth overdrive like the PL to spice things up a notch…. Joe Bonamassa is da man!

to express my playing.

It is true what Antony_biggs44 says about scarring the cat, she does not like overdrive.  I too, use overdrive to piss off the world.

People stop talking to me for a while, the cats leave me alone, my wife has learned to leave me alone for a few.  Overdrive means loud.

To add chunk to rythm and sustain to leads.

I don’t own an overdrive but i’ve been looking to get a zakk wylde one cos i know how i would use that. I would use it as a lead boost just send it over the edge with sustain

I like to use overdrives for nearly all kind of things that i play. To me every serious player should try overdrives and see how flexible they are. It’s a padle from rythmn to nice solos.

Sometimes its nice to play two OD at the same time (but not to much gain!). Sounds interesting.

I think 2 pedals are a must have on each board: a wah and a nice OD!

I like to use my overdrive at its maximum capabilities, using it both as a boost for the amp’s distortion and a distortion of it’s own, creating a devastating wall of sonic chaos that induces a trance in the audience and mimics a collapse of the nature of sound, outgrowing reality, serving as a lullaby to schizophrenic mind as it disperses before the vision of the appocalypse,
filling the void of it’s own logic with intention of destruction and drowning every atom of my body in pure energy of music. You know, the usual stuff.

just to dirty up the clean a little.

I play just a few pedals: overdrive, cray baby and a phaser. The combination of these can be very effective!
My OD is almost full gain, but i control it a lot via my volume on the strat.

all the best!

push the amp

I like using overdrive to push my Marshall over the top on leads

I like to use overdrive to make the audiences heads explode!!!!

Grit and sustain on my Tele pickin!

i love to add some growl so my sound when i use overdrive pedals.

I would like to use it see if I can fit another pedal on my pedalboard. The thing looks like the inside of a clown car. Plus, the Pork Loin sounds awesome!

i use overdrive to give my guitar a sexy growl so it could sound rude yet clean at the same time… i also use it as a gain and level boost for my solos but overdrive is always there for the same function… to keep my tone sexy

To make beautiful noise.

Trying to elicit a little of Joe’s tonal mojo with a great Way Huge Pork Loin Overdrive pedal making a Les Paul into a hot sonic knife cutting through soft butter……………

I like the fact that you can control the overdrive, because I don’t like to overdo it.  What’s also great is that it works well with bass, which I play a bit–and don’t usually get a chance to use overdrive with.

I’m using 8 overdrives and it is not enough to make music more interesting. Sometimes on a record I’m using 4-5 different pedals and their combinations. It is the best way to make music my way. I love overdrives and distortions.

there’s no such thing as too much overdrive……That’s what my grandpappy used to say.

I already owned the Green Rhino by Way Huge and their pedals are just awesome. Since I got it the pedals’ overdrive replaced my amps’ overdrive. Moreover I love to boost the drive channel to fulfill my Metal needs. An OD makes your tone more distinct, you can tweak it to your own imaginations and build a sound that’s representative for you as a guitar player. And the good thing is that an overdrive pedal is much more efficient for your wallet, cause you don’t need to buy a complete new rig that costs you several hundreds or thousands of bucks. I just love them little helpers!

Mmmmm, I can smell the overdrive a-cookin’

I have a Tele feeding a DBD CryBaby into an old generic overdrive into a Epiphone Valve Jr driving a Marshall 4×12 cab. Overdrive takes this setup anywhere from 1962 through 1988. Not really distorted, JUST DRIVEN. 5 watts pure overdriven tube tone. I’m really dyin’ to try a much better OD pedal!

when i need to go to 11!

This overdrive will complete my pedal board, add new spectrum of sound, create warm tonality or to scream a loud… just the right pedal to complement my guitar… 

i like to use overdrive to make the sound into a feedback device that tunes in vibrations of the universe. and to scare cats too.

Overdrive needs to be used at the precise time or it just becomes overkill. With that said, I certainly could use a real nice, new OD pedal.

I use it to give my sound a grittier feel, some attitude

I use Overdrive to make my Amp SCREAM!!!

I use it to destroy amps and speakers.

I’m a stickler for tone so if it will help my sound I’m for it.
 

I have a pretty good sounding amp so I use overdrives for another voicing, another sound. I like to fuck things up so I use overdrives to create a more dirty, bity, garage kind of tone. I found out that the best way to use an overdrive is to find a clean setting that sounds good and then overdrive the amp with the pedal.

I use overdrive to push it over the edge, like Nigels amps that go to 11, you know 1 louder!

I like overdrive, but I don’t have overdrive and that’s where this contest is important to any personal overdrive satisfaction that I could have.

I like to overdrive a bass and fuzz it up on guitar. Get some good old Heavy Rock and Blues going. I flicker between wah ->Overdrive and the reverse. It depends what song I am planning on using the wah for. 

Add some compression plus some gritty rock “flavor enhancement” to the tone.

I use it on my solos and superchunky parts!

I pretend I am in “the who” and I love to use overdrive – in my living room I am a rock star

I want a smooth transparent overdrive to sweetin up my sound and open up my creative side . I’m a tone junky and I like the color Purple.

I use it to DRIVE my housemates OVER the edge!!

Sounds amazing with my acoustic.  There’s nothing quite as awesome as switching from smooth acoustic tones to INSANE overdrive in the time it takes to stomp!!

I have a distortion, flanger, fuzz and wah pedal. Would love to add this Pork Loin so I can start makin’ bacon on some Black Country Communion songs. Would love to depress the overdrive button on my amps and see what this bad boy can do. Joe Bonamassa is THE new guitar king.

I set a “warm” sound on my amp, and I would use an overdrive for solos and lead parts. 

To make every note sing, or scream if they need to

Most importantly expressing myself, but also unleashing the demons, opening the gates of hell, waking up my neighbors, and destroying my future hearing!  This is an impressive pedal that gives lots of sustain and it is much harder to rock out with out a great overdrive pedal!

have all-in-one—changing to individual pedals

I generally keep the gain pretty low, and boost the volume so that it adds a little grit, boosts the amp, and retains more clarity.

Another Friday, another fake Dunlop giveaway.

Best comment – give him the pedal!

classic 80′s rock, turned up past max volume 

I like to use my OD to push a tube amp just to the edge of sweet distortion.

I unfortunately have never had an overdrive to use so in effect I have no story to tell on how I use it.

Use mine to add just a little edge when I really dig in.  

So you’d probably just sell it on eBay if you won?

Don’t ever leave your living room – it sux outside that 8 * 10 space.

Cars are piling up in the drive thru – get back to work loser!

Actually, I think your grandpappy said you were a disappointment.

Led Zeppelin!!!

I like to use overdrive pedals to push the front end of my amp.

First off, Way Huge pedals just kick ass. What I like about all of them and especially the overdrive is the ability to go from a subtle sound enhancement that can emphasize quiet tones to full blown crazy that blows the doors off the club.I might sound like an ad for way huge but every pedal I have of theirs is top shelf all the way.

I run my 1987x clean and use the overdrive for distortion, and also roll back the volume on my Strat to get the in-between tone.  Been using the MXR CAE Boost Overdrive.  Pretty simple usage, but that’s how I use it.

I’d use the Way Huge Pork Loin Overdrive to BarBQue the tones of my Les Paul into cracklin’ sweet goodness that makes your ears smile, your mouth hum and leaves your finger dripping in those caramelized golden tones that keep you comin’ back for more.

I use it to peal the paint off the walls of my house!

I like od kinda just a little bit crunchy and sparky, and usually mix clean and overdrived signal.

I like to use overdrive to drive the piss out of my tube amps and get the tone I need instead of using a distortion pedal.  I prefer to break up the tubes rather than emulate it.

with a guitar, yoww!

i just love overdrive pedals and this one looks like a cool addition to my collection

I use overdrive to achieve what my amp alone can’t do, I use it to boost my signal, bring out some warmth that solid states don’t have and just make the tone of the guitar in general come to life. I use a boss blues driver, which is fine but I’d like to upgrade to something Dunlop or MXR. I use overdrive because distortion pedals are HORRIBLE! I can’t stand to use them. They really don’t help my tone at all just make me cringe. Yes you can get heavy tones….but with overdrive, you can really shape your sound.

Playing Loud and Fast

I use it in conjunction with my volume knob to dynamically control the overall level of overdrive. Can’t do that with distortion on 11. I’ll take character over grind any day.

I use it to push an amp that is already cooking.

crank the overdrive, ease off the tone & volume pots & make it fat fat fat

I would use the overdrive to make some sweet tastey licks and create awesome new rock music!

I’d use the overdrive to kill it on stage as a healthy boost to my amp as well as turn it down and be able to use it as a bluesy pedal that I can use in various venues.

It’s the type of overdrive that gives me options and that’s something that is rare in a pedal. It’s usually just one sound with knobs but the Pork Loin is awesome because it gives so much more.

I’d use it so much because it’s dependable as well as being dunlop and dunlop is the best.Period.

I like to get those screamin overtones to shred the faces off the first few rows!!

I use it for pushing Gain channel and light rock on the clean channel

I use overdrive to rock out.  

I like to add/step distortion to boost/drive up the guitar signal into those way guitar blues solos!

When it comes to overdrive I like to stack a couple OD pedals together to get a great lead tone.  I’m currently using a Way Huge Green Rhino into my Marshall JCM 900 MK III head as my main rhythm tone.  I then will boost it with a Way Huge Pork Loin for a killer smooth and creamy lead tone, of course accompanied by a Way Huge Aqua Puss in the effects loop!

As you can tell I’m really digging the Way Huge pedals!

Cheers!

Ive only used an overdrive pedal, i have exactly one pedal, a DOD OverDrive plus, but my Marshall amp has 2 dist. channels so i hardly ever use it, now i’ve talked to a friend of mine and he was telling me how the pedal doesn’t just give ya distortion, so i’ve been using it a bit more recently. Oh and Ive never used a Dunlop pedal, i cant afford to just go around wasting money on pedals I’ll most likely never use. If i was to win one however, who know i just might become a proponent of you products!

Whacked up full tilt to blow the socks off anyone within blasting distance

i would use it to overdrive my guitar
