doug  - other pedals   |2009-10-28 14:20:47 in that picture that chrome colored pedal looks like a electro harmonix small stone nano, and the small pedal next to the big muff could also be a ehx POG micro im not sure thats what they are just guessing. awesome pic though Reply 0   0

uberpro  - new pic   |2009-10-28 09:32:58 Here's a newer picture of his pedals: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34621712@N04/3741529699/ Do you guys think that Zvex pedal is the Woolly Mammoth. It's the only one on the zvex site that has 4 knobs and one button.... Update - yes, that is the woolly mammoth Reply 0   0

Erik   |2009-08-22 01:29:15 He uses a MXR Phase 90 Reply 1   0

loz  - answers   |2009-07-04 13:07:21 he rarely uses the Silvertone 1484, which is a 2x12, only when his 6x10 Silvertone is busy elsewhere or it's a smaller gig. Both the amps give very little tone but a diiirty sound. and the copper thing on his Racs amp is basically a touch-sensitive killswitch. He has one for guitar and another for the copper mic next to his amp. no Gibson 345, but he occasionally uses a bass guitar in TWS & that might be a Gibson. Reply 1   1

Chris  - Silvertone 1484   |2009-06-23 11:41:05 I've seen a Silvertone 1484 amp in many of the live videos. Does anyone know what sounds he uses this for? dirty? clean? Reply 0   0

uberpro  - Crunch   |2009-06-23 11:48:43 He said in an interview in 2005 "The Silvertone gives me the crunch-and the crunch that comes from those six Jensen speakers is amazing" Reply 0   0
