Way Huge Blue Hippo
Another gem from the workbench of Jeorge Tripps. The Blue Hippo brims with thick analog-chorus goodness—the kind that makes people who claim to hate chorus rethink their relationship with the effect. Blue Hippo also incudes a tasty, if darkish, vibrato channel. Another Way Huge steal, if you ask us!

In the years we’ve compiled our annual list of Premier Gear Award winners, we’ve probably never seen a list more eclectic than 2015’s. From high-gain monster amps and atmospheric reverbs to mini overdrives and wahs, 2015’s award winners covered all the bases.
As always, it was a joy to see how both big-time musical instrument industry players and little shops a step removed from the garage managed to haul in Premier Guitar’s prize for gear excellence. And if anyone’s counting, we’re pretty sure we also set a record for Premier Gear Award winners. So we hope you’re comfy—this list of primo gear may take some time to cover.
