"I use the Mesa Triple Rectifier and have a couple of heads, and I run the guitar through a couple of pedals, but the distortion I use is mainly the distortion running through the head of the cabs. I have a Zakk Wylde Wah pedal, an H2O Chorus pedal, a Boss Digital Delay, a noise gate and that’s about it for now. I might put in a flanger pedal for this tour, but I haven’t decided yet what the final pedal configuration will be for the tour." Shaun Morgan interview with Reverb.com Nov 10, 2014. The H20 pedal can be seen in the video at 26:32.
In a Facebook photo post, Matt Sorum mentions starting the world’s largest pedal board project, which includes the Visual Sound V2 Series H2O multi-effects pedal.

The successor version: https://truetone.com/v3-h2o/
As we reimagined the V3 version of our H2O pedal, it became important for us to try to manifest in this pedal, at least some concept of the rudimentary aspects of this amazing elixir that surrounds us and is an integral element of everyone’s bathroom and kitchen. Our hope was to attempt to capture the ebb and flow, the rhythms, the echoes and subtle nuance that make up the sonic composition of how our ears perceive liquid moving in the natural world around us and then apply it to an electric guitar signal (or acoustic guitar, or bass, or keyboard, or whatever inspires you).
This new pedalboard-friendly, V3 version, still delivers all of the classic H2O sounds you may already love, but it also reaches further into Davy Jones’ Locker than ever before. We’ve now added controls to not only swim between analog Chorus or Vibrato, but we’ve also added a “Tone” control and even a “Detune” switch to take you deep into watery depths that you’ve always wanted to reach (but were afraid to ask Mom & Dad about). When you dive fully into the Speed, Width and Depth knobs you’ll be able feel your signal swirl around you in a Leslie-esque eddy, or you can reduce them to find more subdued currents reminiscent of a lazy river that’s gently flowing to a relaxed and blissful tonal destination (Ah-h-h-h-h!). The hybrid-analog Echo we’ve incorporated into this version also has a broad range of delayed colors that should satisfy any musician’s pedantic palette. It can transport you from the short, slap-back echoes of that annoying dripping faucet in your bathroom (That your roommate refuses to take responsibility for, Ugh!), to the long mesmerizing depths of tidal waves and textured shimmers. It can encompass your tone with a warm, deep delay or ferry you on to controlled, eternal oscillations that will turn your mind into a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought, cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives (Thank you, Harvey Korman).
