Guitars used by Troy Van Leeuwen on In Times New Roman...
Fender American Deluxe Telecaster
Avg price: $1,000.00
"Well, the first guitar I ever had was a Telecaster. Teles are a classic. I’ve had a reissue of the American Deluxe Tele – the Keith Richards guitar, that’s what I call it. I used that guitar a lot on the last Queens record, and live also. I love the way a Tele sounds, but also I like the location of the pickup switch. Because I have to play lap steel, it’s easy for me to flip the switch and go to lap steel and then go back to playing. It’s just really useful.
On our last Queens record, we started getting into more wiry tones. We’ve been known as a heavy band, but it’s very not heavy in the way that we approach our music. The Tele really came in handy for that, and the Jaguar because it kind of separated all the heaviness. There was a cut to all of my parts. It really lent a different color to our band."

Josh Boss Tuner used in the Kyuss days. I guess he still use that. On the other pic, you can see a boss overdrive really clearly. Don't know the other one. Probably the boss tuner and a volume pedal. Josh was also spotted with an Electro Harmonix Bass Micro-synth. Travis sended that good peice of info too : "I was at the Troubadour show (the one on the SFTD DVD) and was standing right in front of Josh. His pedals for that show were an Ernie Ball volume pedal, on old beat up Boss SD-1, a Way Huge Aqua Puss (400ms analog delay - rare and expensive), and he had a Whirlwind Selector pedal covered in bright green tape with "BONUS" written over the A + B switch. (I think I also saw it on the Letterman performance)"

He used a SD1 Boss always "on" in the QOTSA Argentinian shows, of course, Ampegs everywhere.
Saludos, Marcelo.

Ok, you guys freaked me out about posting Josh's pedalboard. But he said it was ok so here it is again: Josh Homme's pedalboard for the post pop depression tour with Iggy Pop!
An article about Boss SD-1 published in January 2023 Guitar World issue also talks about settings Homme used on the pedal. Both level and tone knobs were set to 10, while drive was set to 0.
Kosh has used the SD-1 with a vintage Ampeg amp with a distinctive midrange peak along with a Boss GE-7 graphic EQ to further boost 400Hz. This SD-1 setting adds sizzle and clarity to his thick-as-molasses midrange.
