PLus 44??? bass effects?

Hey i dont know if any of you guys have heard pluss 44, but im curious if anyone knew what kind of effect systems Mark Hoppus used on his bass in recordings or live, or what kind of effects...i hear a diffrent type of distortion, with delay and some chorus....its tripy, so if anyone has an answer i would appreciate it, cuz ive been looking for so long now....thanks in advance

I checked Wikipedia there, and there is no sign of him using any effects. All it says is:

"For live sound, Mark plugs his basses into 3 Ampeg SVT Classic bass heads running into 2 Ampeg 8x10 SVT bass cabs. Prior to the use of the all-tube SVT Classic heads, Mark used 2 Ampeg SVT-4 Pro heads which only feature a tube preamp."

And of course, his signature bass.
 
i highly doubt he uses any effects live, he is mark hoppus after all. although im sure they did some stuff in the studio, cuz that would require him to not have to do anything, which hes good at. ha, im sorry, its just too easy. the blink era is done, he should retire. peace
