The Way Huge Camel Toe Triple Overdrive MkII is a dual overdrive and distortion pedal that puts two of Way Huge's best-known circuits in one enclosure: the Green Rhino on one side and the Red Llama on the other1. Released in 2017, it reissues one of the rarest originals in the company's history, a 1990s limited run of which only about 25 were made12. Dunlop now lists the MkII as a legacy product, no longer in production3.
Green Rhino and Red Llama in one pedal
The Camel Toe pairs two circuits that Way Huge also sells as standalone pedals. The Green Rhino side carries all the controls of the Green Rhino MKIV, while the Red Llama side delivers a warm, gritty drive42. Used together in Series mode, the two channels produce everything from mild and chunky overdrive to distortion that borders on fuzz territory, in the words of one reviewer2.
Guitar.com described the pedal's character on its announcement:
"The legendary Camel Toe Triple Overdrive is back to expectorate its wonderfully wild gritty tones all over your guitar signal."5
Way Huge's own range covers around six or seven overdrive pedals, including the Red Llama, Green Rhino, Pork Loin, Saucy Drive and the Camel Toe itself, alongside the Swollen Pickle fuzz6. The Camel Toe is the one that puts two of those circuits in a single box.
The controls
Each channel has its own control set, and a Series toggle decides whether you run one at a time or both stacked251.
| Control | Channel | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Volume, Drive, Tone | Green Rhino | Standard drive controls, carried over from the original Camel Toe2 |
| Two small frequency knobs | Green Rhino | Cut or boost the 100Hz and 500Hz frequencies by 12dB each way2 |
| Classic toggle | Green Rhino | Cuts out the two frequency controls, leaving the simple Volume, Tone and Drive setup2 |
| Volume, Drive | Red Llama | The controls found on the original Camel Toe2 |
| Hi-Cut knob | Red Llama | Acts as a tone control; helps tame the Red Llama when both channels are combined2 |
| Series toggle | Both | Runs both channels at the same time, slamming the Rhino into the Llama side21 |
| Drive Selector footswitch | Both | Toggles between the two circuits; in Series mode it switches the Red Llama on and off while the Green Rhino stays active54 |
The Green Rhino side is the more flexible of the two. Its two frequency knobs shape the low mids that drive pedals often blur, and the Classic toggle strips the channel back to the simpler control set of the original pedal if you prefer the old-school approach2. On the Red Llama side, tone shaping is limited to the Hi-Cut knob, which reviewers found useful for reining in the channel when both sides run together2.
History and versions
The original Camel Toe was a limited run pedal from the 1990s. Only 25 were produced, making it super-scarce and one of the most sought-after effects in the Way Huge catalog; it has long been out of production and changes hands for high prices on the used market27.
The MkII, announced in 2016 and released in 2017, brought the pairing back at the hands of Jim Dunlop, which owns Way Huge41. Jeorge Tripps, Way Huge's founder and the pedal's designer, announced the Mark 2 version himself7. The reissue is a bit smaller than its predecessor, though still a decent size, and Pedal of the Day judged it worth the pedalboard space for what you get out of it2.
The MkII is discontinued. Dunlop's product page lists it as a legacy product no longer in production3, so it is now a used-market buy. Even so, the reissue remains well-priced and easy to obtain compared with the rare original2.
Why "triple" overdrive?
Despite the name, the pedal holds two gain circuits, not three. Toneisland's Adam Connell flagged the naming as a point of confusion1:
"I feel that naming convention is a little odd because I'd expect 3 independent gain stages from a pedal referred to as a triple overdrive."1
The name carries over from the original 1990s pedal, which Way Huge also sold as a triple overdrive1. Players comparing it against other dual drives, such as the AnalogMan King of Tone, will find it works the same way: two channels, each with its own controls, that can be stacked8.
What reviewers made of it
Pedal of the Day found the pedal really opens up in Series mode, where using the controls from both sides lets you create all new settings and drive sounds2. On That Pedal Show, the MkII appeared alongside the King of Tone and JHS Triple Wreck in a comparison of dual overdrives, new for 2017 at the time8.

Questions
Is the Way Huge Camel Toe MkII discontinued?
Yes. Dunlop lists the Camel Toe Triple Overdrive MkII as a legacy product that is no longer in production. It was released in 2017 as a reissue of the original, and secondhand units are far easier to find than the roughly 25 originals ever made.
What is the difference between the Camel Toe and the Camel Toe MkII?
The original Camel Toe from the 1990s was a limited run of about 25 pedals and is highly sought after on the used market. The MkII, released in 2017, reissues the same Green Rhino and Red Llama pairing in a slightly smaller enclosure, with the Green Rhino side carrying the controls of the Green Rhino MKIV.
Why is it called a triple overdrive?
Way Huge markets it as a triple overdrive, but the pedal holds two gain circuits, Green Rhino and Red Llama. Some writers find the naming odd for that reason and would call it a dual overdrive instead, since you would expect three independent gain stages from the name.
Can both Camel Toe channels be used at the same time?
Yes. A Series toggle runs both channels at the same time, feeding the Green Rhino into the Red Llama. Reviewers found this stacked mode opens up the pedal, letting you combine controls from both sides for drive sounds neither channel makes alone.
