Michael Todd or Mic Todd (pronounced as "Mike") is the bassist for progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria. Todd left the band in August 2006 because of personal issues, but officially rejoined the group on April 25, 2007.
If you know Coheed, you know that Mic gets a great bass sound. His bass rig is pretty minimal based on the research we did. If you have anything to add, please do.
Let's look at some of the gear and equipment that has been seen in Coheed and Cambria's Michael Todd's Bass Gear Rig.

Comments
With the green strip: looks a lot more like a Fulltone Bassdrive MOSFET. 2 push Buttons, and 4 knobs etc is not a Sansamp. Even looks like there's the couple of flick switches between the black knobs.

That is actually the Orange OR50H guitar amp head....so maybe it is Claudio's....it is in fact sitting right next to the Bogner half stack...so prob is.
Cambria go jump in a hole! Fans of Coheed know Mic is crazy! If you don't think so go listen to the album: Good Apollo I'm Burning Star 4: No World For Tomorrow and listen to the song No World For Tomorrow.Mic is copying what Claudio and Travis are doing but he is slapping it.
