I have nothing to add here. Just wanted to get in a good Giggity on the title.

Two Eventide Eclipse(s)
Furman power strip

Lovetone Meatball
Source Audio Tri-Mod Phaser
Boss BF-2 or BF-3 (probably)
EBS Octa-Bass
MXR 10-band EQ (probably)

Akai Deep Impact
Source Audio Multiwave Distortion

Eventide Harmonizer (older model, not sure which one)
Lexicon reverb/multifx (probably an LXP15 or LXP15II)

3 CAE switcher units
Avalon U5
Eden WT800

The obvious ones are Akai Deep Impact which he has had for years. There is a Source Audio Multiwave Bass Distortion Pro and another Source Audio pedal (looks like the phaser). I see the Lovetone Meatball (which he has had for years). I can't tell what the EBS pedal is. The pink Boss pedal is probably a Flanger. I don't know what the one in the way back is (behind the Boss unit).

EDIT Oh,...there is another pic, the EBS is an Octabass (duh) appears to be an MXR EQ,...Looks like he moved his Boss SYB (3 or 5 IDK) to the floor.

FWIW I found Page's setup slightly more interesting than Mike's

They also talk about Trey not being able to "actuate his ubiquitous delay loops",...so what's the boomerang for?

Interesting.

They really need to make a delay that you can control something with the Hot Hand.

They're apparently working on a delay- there's a thread here where they're asking for ideas on what to put in it.

Thanks a lot guys. I know theres an old diagram of his rig out there, but this is what they are all using currently. Looks like they all scaled back. I know mike used to have a couple of rack mounted EQ's for some of the effects, but it looks like that got replaced with a single MXR EQ pedal.

So I guess my second question is...what do all those eventide units accomplish? Are they all multi effects?

**Bryan R. Tyler** · #11 07-02-2010, 12:28 PM

Yes, they are. The Eclipses feature a variety of effects from all their different units- it's basically their all-in-one effects unit. The harmonizer deals more specifically with, well, harmonizing.

Are you sure? According to the article it's the Phaser and it's not quite as purple as the BEF.

It could be the phaser, but the phaser is SUPER pink- maybe the blue lighting is making it appear purple. Itswac mentioned that Mike Gordon has the BEF on his board now, which also made me think that was it.

The flanger is a BF-2. I looked at it with the CSI zoom, and it doesn't have two rows of writing for the inputs and outputs.

SFjonstarr · #15 07-02-2010, 11:27 PM

I was looking at the Source audio site and saw that they have a hot-hand pedal that outputs Midi that they're selling at their webstore. Being able to hook it up to anything with Midi ins would be handy for me.
