Pork innards

The (Way Huge) Pork Loin overdrive pedal possesses a trio of inner pots for more tone meddling. The 3 trimmers are:
  • A Filter control: Messes with the clean preamp. It works with the Drive Mix to determine the amount of clean headroom available at lower Drive Mix settings.
  • Presence: Just like how it works in an amp, it's in charge of how much top end is enhanced/ suppressed in addition to the EQ control.
  • Drive Mix: I see this as the drive sweep control. It determines how much drive you can finally manipulate via the primary overdrive control. You can set it to its narrowest option so what you get in the end is a clean boost, no drive at all.

this feature is actually quite ingenious, giving users the ability to tweak minor controls to maximise the potential of the pedal
i'll bet people are gonna open up all their pedals in hopes of finding such a secret control panel haha

... but it's not exclusive. other pedals do feature such inner trimmers as well eg: Visual Sound's Son of Hyde.
