| | | | Dunlop Cry Baby Bass Wah (Mic Check, Calm Like a Bomb, War Within a Breath), Distortion (not sure of any brand) (Tire Me, Know Your Enemy), Delay (No Shelter), and I think one of his regularly used basses has a trem bridge. I think that covers it. Hope that answers your question.

| | | | The most notable effect he's used was the douche-bag pedal he stepped on when he decided to hide his pedals. You can hear it throughout the albums. |

Original Marshall Guv'nor, Jim Dunlop 105Q (1 or 2 depending on the band), Sadowsky Pre/DI, Boss OC-3, Boss DD-3, Aphex Punch Factory, a hidden OD pedal, a fuzz that looks like it could be an MXR JH-2 and an MXR Micro Amp. Remember he's also running clean and effected rigs. SVT-2 + 8x10 (clean) and SVT-2 + 8x10 (dirty) for Rage and running SVT-2 + 8x10 (clean), SVT-2 + 4x10 (od) and SVT-2 + 4x10 (fuzz) for Audioslave. All running mic and DI.

It has nothing to do with secrecy... | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
