Mentioned in this February 1992 Guitar Player interview, as archived on this Open Computing Facility fan page.

Turner and Arm don't break stylistic stride with their pedal choices either. "We use a lot of different fuzz boxes. On the road I use a Big Muff, a wah-wah pedal, and a Memphis distortion box, which looks like an MXR. I've never paid more than $15 for one - they break easily, but they're cheap."
