Way Huge WHE800 Purple Platypus Octidrive MkII Overview
Limited-edition. Updating a classic for more tonal expression. The Way Huge Purple Platypus Octidrive MkII remakes the rare Purple Platypus for the modern market, giving you the stunning octave up fuzz/overdrive sounds with extra tonal options. The addition of a hi-cut control - with the original's volume and drive - lets you shape the Way Huge's tone to your own tastes, injecting it with your own personality for a totally unique experience.
Construction wise, the Purple Platypus MkII features Way Huge's traditional metal chassis and a three-knob setup. Creating incredible tones is super easy, and the large sized controls are perfect for dialing in the desired sound with your foot while you play.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionCreate and Discover Captivating Octave/Overdrive Tones
The original Purple Platypus combined the overdrive from the Way Huge Red Llama with a frequency doubler to create its wide variety of stunning fuzzy octave tones. Unfortunately, just over 100 of these units were made. This time round there's around 500 available.
The Purple Platypus MkII still offers the original's incredible sounds, taking your performance from that eerie ring modulator style effect to the overly massive octave fuzz/overdrive. The major difference between these two units is the additional hi-cut control, letting you shape the sonic characteristics of the pedal to your own personal taste. You can even change the pedal's sound with just your guitar. Switch to the bridge and pluck away at the strings directly above the pickup to create a mesmerising sitar sound. Experiment away and discover the Octidrive's symphonic potential.
Solid Construction for a Reliable Performance
There's nothing worse than a pedal that stops working in the middle of your performance or gets damaged when travelling to a gig. The Purple Platypus' high-quality electronics and durable metal chassis puts those concerns to rest. The pedal will survive any punishment the gig life might throw at it, with its chassis protecting against the elements, knocks, bumps, and drops.
