doug s  - mystery pedal   |2008-10-06 18:21:40
i know he uses a tremolo or vibrato pedal on sink,florida,sink and the ocean so
that might be it. it also looks kinda like a hughes & kettner pedal because of
the swirly thingys

A couple changes I noticed last time I saw them play. He uses a regular NYC Big
Muff now. Pedal looked brand new. Plus, I didn't see that mysterious looking
pedal at all.

He uses a Mesa Boogie Stiletto Ace head and a Dual Rectifier 2x12 slanted cab.
He's also been using a Takamine Takamine G Series EG5013S-VFT OM I
believe(possibly another Takamine, i'm not sure) as well as a Fender Jazzmaster
Brian   |2009-01-04 22:41:52
Also I have followed AM! pretty closely and have never seen him use a
Rickenbacker 620, just the 330, 360, and the 370
