Effects Pedals used by Marcus King on Young Blood

Boost Effects Pedals

MXR Booster Mini

Avg price: $116.44

At 0:13 in this video, Marcus King says:

So I got a MXR Boost right here... which we just put back on the board. It's really great if you just need that little extra leap to get you where you're going. Basically a clean boost, it just boosts the signal entirely.

Reverb Effects Pedals

MXR M300 Reverb

Avg price: $208.74

Three minutes into this pedalboard discussion, Marcus King tells a story about why he adopted the MXR Reverb pedal, which he uses for an extreme reverb effect. This pedal is essentially cranked for effect, while he uses reverb tanks in his amps for more subtle reverb.

Tremolo Effects Pedals

Tru-Fi Ultra Tremolo

At 4:47 Marcus King says

This tremolo is really great.

Fuzz Effects Pedals

Tru-Fi Two Face

Avg price: $214.95

At 5:09, Marcus discusses how he found Tru-Fi pedals and the Two Face fuzz.

So I'm a window shopper, I mean, like a lot of us. I saw this pedal and was like that is beautiful. The first pedal I saw of his was just this big orange soapbox, he call it the Colordriver. And he bases all these off of all these actual pedals from the '60s and they all have this great mid-century look to them. The Colordriver is gone right now, I actually replaced it with the Two Face. It's called a Two Face because its got a '69 Fuzz Face and a '70 version of the Fuzz Face, so you can kinda switch between the two of them.

Phaser Effects Pedals

MXR M107 Phase 100

Avg price: $151.71

At 7:30 in this video, Marcus King discusses his phaser.

And the MXR Phase 100, the newer version of it. And the only thing I can tell different about it is the light indicator, which is fun to have, because before there was really only one way to find out if your phase pedal was on. Yeah, great pedal.
