Way Huge Aqua Puss
Way Huge, another subsidiary of Jim Dunlop, is known for their edgy and silly pedal names and classic effects. This addition to their line is an attempt to recall the days of old without having the unreliability of old hardware. While this classic effect may have guitar players drooling with nostalgic hunger, its utility might be slim for a horn player.

HornFX Review
Interface: 2.5/5
This is the simplest of delay pedals. When it comes to analog delay, the controls as bare bones as it gets. However you are left wanting more with this pedal. There is a lot missing on the tone front, and some more manipulability would be nice.
Versatility: 1/5
The Aqua-Puss is not a pedal that will win awards for broad ranging effects. This pedal does only analog delay, and it may not be the best at that either.
Tonal Reproduction: 1.5/5
Sadly not the best. This pedal has a decidedly tinny, low-fi sound.
Complexity: Simple
Live application: 2.5/5
Although the pedal does not sound wonderful, it has an undeniable strength in its ease of use. If you do not care about its less than stellar delay capacity (300ms or a quarter note at 200BPM), and less than stellar tone, this pedal will give you an easy and fun looking delay machine that works well and has a personality all its own.
Product Information
The Aqua-Puss Analog Delay MkIII delivers smooth vintage delay tones and tape-based echo with 20ms to 300ms of delay time.
THE LONG STORY
The Aqua-Puss Analog Delay is famous for its bright, jangly repeats and wonderfully straightforward operation. Now, all of that wholesome goodness comes in a Way Huge Smalls housing that your pedalboard will love you for. With 20ms to 300ms of delay time on tap, this pedal is all about tone-thickening and old school slap-back. The Feedback control regulates delay duration and intensity, but beware! Extreme settings are known to throw this pedal into wild, space-and-time-warping self-oscillation. Use the Blend knob to set a balance between dry and delay signals, from mild to wild! The Aqua-Puss Analog Delay is a must for players who want to add a little depth to their tone or conjure up some slap-back sweet enough to earn the envy of any rockabilly or country legend.
