Iain Cook's Gear
At 1:50 in this stage tour video, Iain shows how they added the Fractal Axe-Fx II to their live setup for guitar effects. He says, "This has really taken it up a level. The way it responds to touch is a lot more life like."
In the video you can see Ian Cook playing Fender Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster
'The need to do the latter on The Bones Of What You Believe meant that their Moog Voyager was often routed through Cook’s guitar pedals, including an Electro-Harmonix Memory Man delay and Holy Grail reverb.' p.74, SOS interview, October 2015.
Iain explains in this interview, the new gear incorporations."We also added a Yamaha DX-7, a DSI Mopho X4 and most recently a Prophet 12. Still getting our heads around the latter - it's an absolute powerhouse of a synth."
at the 1min mark he discusses using an iPad to control Ableton during their live sets.
In Issue 332 of Future Music magazine, on page 67, Iain says: '(Soundtoys) Echoboy is really good too.'

On Page 67 of issue 332 od Future Music magazine, Iain says: 'Otherwise, we're big fans of Soundtoy's Little Alterboy as a quick-fix creative tool for doing really mad pitchshifting.'
At 0:34 in this stage tour video, Iain walks through his stage setup and shows off his Prophet 08, calling it "old trusty."
At 1:00 in this stage tour video, Iain shows how he uses an iPad connected to Ableton Live for their live show.
In a live performance for triple j's Like A Version, Iain Cook of CHVRCHES uses the Teenage Engineering OP-1 Portable Synthesizer.
The Dave Smith Tempest can be seen next to Iain throughout the video and the nam Dave Smith Tempest is clear at 00:05
In several videos Iain is seen with this Jaguar, including for this "acoustic version" of Death Stranding. Mainly ambient tones with heavy reverb and persistent but light use of the tremolo.
In this live performance with his band CHVRCHES, Iain is seen playing a Fender Jazzmaster, as evidenced by the headstock near the beginning. He has a different pickguard in other performances with this guitar that looks more like the stock Jazzmaster. The pickguard and the features I could make out in videos of performances with this guitar lead me to believe it's the American Professional II Jazzmaster.
This pedal was designed in collaboration between OBNE and CHVRCHES.
