Got this picture of Les Claypool’s pedalboard during the sessanta tour from Billy howerdel’s insta and trying to figure out the pedals aside from the obvious one ones (dl4 and ax300b) especially towards the bottom right. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Les Claypool pedalboard 2024
- Thread starter County-morg
- Start date
One in the middle looks like a Cali 76 compressor to me, I've seen a DM4 in place of whatever that black thing is with lots of stomp switches, that's all I got
Looks like a Line 6 HX Stomp XL middle of the right bottom row.
That's hilarious. I have one of those and figured it's a junk pedal you'd never use in a real performance.
I just Primus a couple of weeks ago. Coheed and Cambria opened for them. Great show! Wish I had brought earplugs though! Primus was LOUD!!!
Roland pk-5. Midi pedals.
That pic is awfully low res.
An older pic to help connect the dots:
This make me laugh considering all of Les’ effects were through an ADA rack unit in their Omni club days, lol
suprised he uses the linw 6 distortion modeler..but hes always been a fan of guitar distortion units ,,like that old ass ada preamp he use to use
Strymon Lex second from the back left
HX Stomp XL bottom center of the right board

I do love that his board looks vintage and kinda ghetto like it would explode at any minute, but it has so much soul oozing off of it .. so many cats have these boards that look freshly willy wonkad (no pun intended) out of a boutique g.q magazine with a bass that has been freshly road worn to match,. i think basses and pedals ,amps etc earn their stripes threw real life , or even buying something at a pawnshop that definitly has a story ,like who owned this contraption before me,..and whats the story behind it .ive been listening to WACKO JACO and the phender bender a lot for some reason ...i wonder if Leslie ever took drugs heheh...im on a magic mushroom trip as i type and its really hard typing ....thx for the great pics!!!!
