“ Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive. This is a new purchase. I’ve had like five different distortion pedals, and I’ve never really liked them but wasn’t sure what I was looking for. We recorded “Riding Solo” [The Prettiest Curse] in London at Strongroom Studio and they had this pedal there, and I tried it and was like, “Whoa, that sounds so big.” And it holds the note a lot, which I couldn’t really find with the pedals I had before. The more I listened to that song, the more I was like, “I really need that distortion.” When I was looking for it, I realized there was the same pedal but for guitar, and that I had recorded with the bass one. I was like, “Am I wrong? Are you meant to do this?” so I texted the engineer and asked if my guitar was going to explode. [Laughs.] Like I was saying before, I like my tone so low I had to go to a bass pedal.” - She Shreds interview

” Mooer Ensemble King. This one is my oldest pedal, and I love the fact that it’s so small for traveling. I think all of my favorite solos that I’ve recorded were with this pedal. On I Don’t Run, I love the solo for “New for You”—I did it with a distortion and this one. On The Prettiest Curse, I did the rhythm guitars of “This Moment Forever” to give it a really big spacey sound, and also the solo of “Take Me Back.” It’s really, really precious to me. I think I also have trauma from many years of playing tours and festivals—you know, when you borrow gear, you don’t bring your amps from Spain—and I don’t know what it is with Fender Hot Rod Devilles and Deluxes, but the reverb is always broken, and I really like it to fulfill the atmosphere. It was such a frustrating thing for so many years, and we tried a lot of reverb pedals, but it altered too much of the actual sound or sometimes the volume would drop a little bit. I feel like this pedal has saved me a lot for solos.” - She Shreds interview
