Stop the Video at 0:16 to see the Pedal. "This is the Pedal-Rig. I'm a collector"

The MXR M104 Distortion+ is used by Slash.

From http://www.kurtsequipment.com: 59). My conversations and emails with Earnie Bailey (Kurt's guitar technician). It is not stated when he used it; it seems only in some live shows.

In [this interview](http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/Tom_Morello_Interview), with Premier Guitar, when asked, "What were some of the guitar effects used on The Fabled City?" Tom Morello responds, "There’s an octave pedal, a DigiTech Whammy WH-1 (original), an MXR Distortion Plus on “Whatever It Takes” and basically I just had my usual pedalboard sitting there. Also Brendan O’Brien, the producer of the record, had a lot of stompboxes lying around the studio. I do some slide guitar and of course I incorporate some echo and delay; it’s about not feeling restricted in any way to the bare bones acoustic."

Thom was first seen with an MXR M-104 Distortion + Guitar Pedal in photos on DAS from the recording of In Rainbows. He used on the In Rainbows tour, and later for the 2010 Atoms for Peace tour.

"That Carbon Copy is the best delay I've ever used, hands down, no contest... The Cry Baby wah-wah pedal is more than just another piece of gear on my pedalboard. I purchased one the day I bought my first guitar and have never played a show without in the last 25 years. The same goes for the MXR Phase 90, and the mustard yellow Distortion+. It's at core of my personal sound, I use it as lead channel, I use it in a set position as much as I use it in an up and down motion. I couldn't live without it!"

"Armed with little more than a Fender Jaguar, an MXR Distortion +, a reputably broken MXR Blue Box, and a Fender Twin, Howard strangled sounds out of his guitar that few listeners had heard before, both as a solo artist, and with his Birthday partner in crime, Nick Cave." - Alex Maiolo, premierguitar.com

In this Australian Musician photographical interview with the Australian band Violent Soho, there is a clear picture of Boredom's pedalboard with the MXR Distortion + in the centre.

MXR Distortion+: Greg used this distortion pedal only as a "gain pedal" on the first two Wipers records. By this, he means he kept the drive at the lowest possible setting and the volume at the highest possible, in order to drive his Ampeg Gemini/Fender Bassman into distortion without coloring the signal very much. He dropped it in favor of simply manipulating his guitar's volume knob from "Over The Edge" and onward.

In this picture he is seen using the Mxr Distotion +

In this photo [(source)](http://www.kulick.net/blog/index.shtml#day49), the MXR Distortion + is visible.

It is actually unknown if he uses a distortion pedal or not.

"And though his effects include MXR Distortion + and Phase 90 pedals and an Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress flanger, "a lot of what you hear on the album's just maxed-out guitar and amp."
