Way Huge announced the Jumbo Fuzz Swollen Pickle XXX at NAMM 2026, a limited-edition run marking 30 years of the Swollen Pickle fuzz¹². The announcement was made at the Anaheim show, where Dunlop presented new Cry Baby, MXR and Way Huge pedals³. Gearnews reported the pedal was announced at NAMM to celebrate 30 years of the fuzz at Way Huge, and that designer Jeorge Tripps has issued a limited-edition run with a tweaked circuit and new graphics¹.

The pedal is a Big Muff-style fuzz⁴. Gearnews reports it uses high-gain transistors, replaces the compression knob with a high-speed toggle, and has a redesigned tone stack with dedicated Hi and Lo controls plus customizable internal switches¹. In a Premier Guitar NAMM video, Dunlop's Bryan Kehoe said the internal trim controls have been moved to the outside of the pedal, while DIP switches remain inside to adjust the capacitors². He described it as a square-wave Muff-type fuzz with a switch between a silicon transistor and an LED clipping circuit, and said the volume has a lot of output².

Guitar Pedal X lists the XXX controls as Loudness, Crunch Switch, Sustain, Lo, Filter and Hi, against the stock green MKIIS version's Loudness, Sustain, Scoop, Filter and Crunch⁴.

Reported prices differ. Gearnews gives $216 and says the pedal is available to order from Thomann¹. Guitar Pedal X gives $199 and says it is widely available at dealers⁴. Kehoe said in the Premier Guitar video that it ships in spring and that the run is "less than a thousand"². Way Huge has not released production figures, Gearnews reported¹.
