Quinn's pedalboard is a custom board that I made from 1/2" Birch plywood that you can find at home depot or any lumber shop. The top tier of the board is supported by 2x4" wood that I cut to support him always stomping on the Line6 delay pedals! :-)

I also put skateboard deck grip on the bottom of the board so it wouldn't slip or slide while on stage! Very easy to make and MUCH cheaper that a store bought model. It cost maybe $40 in parts/paint. :P

Pictures are on my website! www.foppstar.com

His pickups are the Seymour Duncan Alnico 5 or (Custom 5) pickups. I switched out all his stock pickups because they sounded too dark and muddy. The Custom 5 added the sparkle and tightness to his tone which allows you to hear each note individually!

The White Boss pedal you are refering to is actually a modified super overdrive (SD-1) that I made for Quinn. I have the pictures up on my website www.foppstar.com. I was Quinn's guitar tech for almost 4 years and I built his rig from the ground up...he is still currently using the same exact rig! :-)

don't forget that the ps-3 has a built in delay effect its the pitch-shifter/delay.
For the new record he started using schecter tempest guitars. in the empty whith you video you can see him with a gold top version, and the studio pictures of "art work" show him with an 12 string schecter tempest in black

That blue Boss pedal on his padal board in the photo is a Boss PS-3 (the older version of the PS-5). It's discontinued now but anyone that has used one swears it's better than than PS-5. I also read somewhere that he uses an MXR Double Shot Distortion.

Schecter's website says that he started using the tempest.

i read in an interview somewhere that his favorite piece of gear is his line 6 dl4 because of its looping feature. quinn said he writes mosts of his riffs on it.

It's all accurate as of June 2007 (one year old). Keep your eye posted for sources that can verify otherwise.
