You do know that pedals that aren’t true bypassed suck tone, while pedals that are true bypassed do not suck tone

a digitech whammy IV
an electro harmonix big muff, with true bypass
an MXR micro amp
and electro harmonix POG
a boss pedal tunner
and a pedal that is a channel switcher

i know this because the tuner is used to offset the tone sucking of the true bypass on the big muff, and the POG is used for blue orchid and a couple new songs, since he was only introduced to it just before going to the studio for “get behind me satan”

also, the whammy is also used for an octive up, like on black math and ball and ball and biscuit. his airline (his primary guitar that looks like a toy) only has 20 frets, and black math has a peak of 24, and b&B goes up to the 27th fret, which dosen’t exist

i also found out that he had a specialist paint his big muff and POG red to match his red black and white color theme.

plus twin reverbs do not havve footswitches to turn off distortion, so the micor amp still gives off the sound of a twin reverb, but he can still switch from clean to distorted

that’s all

It's a big muff re-housed, just get over it. I wouldn't doubt that most of his pedals are modded because i know for a fact that the POG straight out of the factory steals tone like a bitch. the muff sounds the same at the 5,5,10 position like the guy said above. And I dont think its a kill switch, simply because if hes getting alot of unwanted feedback at a show, he just turns the volume down on the guitar. The muff is always on, the MXR micro amp gives him the biting crunch for the choruses and stuff (it just really overdrives the tubes in the silvertones). POG's used for octave down, organ, and octave blending. whammy is ONLY used for octave up. and he has that boss tuner because that guitar is so old it doesnt stay in tune for a complete song. Now quit arguing about what he has and doesnt have and just enjoy the music :) OMFG!! It’s a big muff re-housed, just get over it.

Maybe a little modified. And a Digitech Whammy. Does anybody know why those whammy pedals are soo expensive? Yeah it really looks like a big muff pi, i got one myself. Maybe a little modified.

The micro amp is to boost his lost signal from the whammy 4 (sucks tone TERRIBLY). He pretty much plays with the volume on his amp ALL THE WAY UP. creating a "crunch" with out any effects. which also explains the incredible amounts of FEEDBACK produced at their live shows. As for the sticatto effect. its all on the wrist. no effect just a really fast wrist! with a signal as hot as his, its not hard to produce. its like jack(white?)-ing off. kinda like palm muting too. like, get in palm muting position andhit the not REALLY fast. you pretty much need a muff for that.
