Devin, I have inside connections to Way Huge. here is the deal: NAMM was last weekend. The Way Huge name was liscenced to Dunlop for either 3 or 5 years, not sure. They are currently releasing 3 WH pedals. The Fat Sanwich, the Swolen Pickle "MOCH-TWO" (with extra knobs and a battery door) and a third that is called something they had not released before. Now, they will NOT be releasing a delay at this time and if they ever do, it will be NOTHING like the AquaPuss, which used NOS BBD chips, the Panasonic MN3005 chip. They have not been made for over a decade and Jeorge had a hard enough time finding 300 of them along with the 3101s that are also in the Aqua.
ALSO, and most importantly, in classic Dunlop style, these pedals will be stamped out in mass productiuon mode and available at your friendly neighborhood Guitar Center. I.E. "made in China (Maylasia)....They will NOT be able to have the intence quality control that Jeorge Tripps had in his Garage in Sherman Oaks, where he also had his hands on every single pedal he put out. In short, these will not be anywhere near the quality of the original WH pedals. Yes, they will be in the same pretty colored aluminum anodized chassis, but a look at the circuit board will tell all. These will be much more similar to a Line 6 pedal than a Way Huge.
If you want a delay that is as close to an AquaPuss that you can get, I highly recommend the old 1980s Ibanez/Maxon AD-80. It is the ONLY delay that comes close and is in fact warmer in tone. Actually, most people think the AquaPuss is a clone of the Boss DM-2 (ALL WH pedals are a clone of something else), when in fact, the AquaPuss is a clone of the AD-80. Yes, the Aqua is one HELL of a delay and sounds incredible, but Dunlop will NEVER EVER be able to match the quality of the original WHs and if they ever do a delay, it will be an analog modeling pedal, like the Live 6 Echo Park, which is actually not a bad pedal by itself. It's just that those cheap ass circuits from Boss and Line 6 tend to create noise in the signal chain when you line a few up.
In closing, they will NEVER release an AquaPuss worthy of the name. I doubt they ever will try, but if they do, it will be a poor imitation.
Bottom line: Jeorge Tripps has sold out for the almighty dollar. but, don't fret, he still makes a couple pedals here and there and his wife sells them through her Ebay account. Sell out, but I'm sure I would do the same. But, the funny thing is that the new DUNLOP WH pedals will be a clone of a clone......unreal. But the real thing, an Ibanez AD-80.
