Dan's musical contribution is the manipulation of various sound sources, including his own voice, the output from a [Wavetek] oscillator, the feed from the live drums and pre-mixed backing tracks bounced down onto an iPod. For these tasks, he uses an array of carefully chosen processors and effects, wired up so as to maximise their performance potential.
Deacon's touring pedal board includes a Wavetek Oscillator, a Digitech Whammy, an Ibanez PM7 phase modulator and a Casio keyboard. He also has a small Behringer mixer on stage, which he uses to process the drum submix coming from the front-of-house desk.

frankspigner What happened to the Wavetek 180 that you found at Purchase?
dandeacon @frankspigner I’ve had a few wavetek 180s over the years but sadly most of them are toast now. I have one that stays in my studio. I toured with a wavetek 30 for a while and really loved that little osc. It’s a table top version
