I recently found this old picture, from a Thousand Foot Krutch show years ago (their bassist Joel is no slouch and has some epic recorded tones), and faithfully reproduced his studio sound pretty dang well live from what I recall, but curious if anyone knows what these 4 pedals are?

I assume the first one is a tuner, but going clock wise, the orange one, top left 5-knob silver, and top right 3-knob silver? He has a pretty fat tone on records, with just a hint of fur, being tuned down with a slick J-bass that can't be stock, so just curious.

Thanks! 20141107_234040.jpg 20141107_234152.jpg
 
Good guess. Rocktron has made some interesting pedals but they have never quite caught on, but there are some players that are fans. I have several a Heart Attack from that series as well as a Reaction Dynamic Filter [both are EHX Bass Balls clones] as well as a TRU-Loop from the Boutique series.

I've tried a few over the years and enjoyed the ones I played, especially since they were price conscious when I was in/soon out of college! Same goes for the original Ibanez pedal line, they actually made some pretty decent sounding stuff for what it was.
