My Swollen Pickle arrives on Wednesday. Do I have to wait until I'm graced with a number?
I'm also very interested to check out the Green Rhino one of these days, but I'm afraid to try it, because it would probably fill about the same niche as my Pork Loin and I don't want to lose the Pork Loin OR try to squeeze another pedal on my board...same reason I'm afraid to try the Fender Sublime.....

I have a pickle & it be swollen![]()
How are people using their Pork Loins? I find having it on after my BDDI with the clean blend all the way up and 12 o'clock on the over-drive knob adds this cool thickness to my sound, though much more over-drive and I start to get lost in the mix a little (though sounds phenomenal solo)? Usually have my tone knob at about 1 o'clock.
I really want to work out how to keep that dirty, warm sound but still cut through!

I have both as well and do the same thing. For one band I'm in the Sansamp is my "tone generator" and I'll use the Pork Loin for some extra noise. Absolutely love the versatility of it.
So yes, I'd love a number.
Can't wait for my Pork Loin to arrive....thanks fellow TB'r BlastJV... I currently use my BDDI but have been looking for a dedicated overdrive/dirt pedal for a while...a long while. Reading all the great posts here on TB, reviews on the web and listening/trying different pedals. And, I think I've found THE ONE. Can't wait to give it a test drive. I'm all in with this Way Huge club!
Tried a Pork Loin, it was too dark and the fuzz too smooth. Tried a Green Rhino--love it. It's my high-mids overdrive now. (a Gov'nr II is my low mids overdrive, each work best with certain pedals after)
Tried a Pickle in the store and have no idea what people are talking about because I couldn't mess with the internals. A Flying Tomato is my only non-blended fuzz. Haven't liked any muff like fuzz...
