It's interesting that you bought both.

It's because I got really into offset guitars, and I wanted to have that offset for multiple songs in multiple tunings. I got back into the Boss Metal Zone MT-2 pedal on the record we just recorded down in Texas. People associate it with metal bands, but you can do a lot with it, like get great feedback.

It sounds like there are guitar loops, feedback loops, and such. Is that just the way you tracked it?

Feedback loops? Nothing is looped. But Austin and I used [MXR] Blue Box [octave fuzz] pedals, so that gives it a uniformity. It might give the impression that it's one piece from which we're pulling, because it reduces it to this robotic sound. But there were no overdubs; it was all live. There wasn't any editing outside the mixing phase.

You can see the Boss OD-3 at 5.07

At 5:07 you can see the tuner.

I asked Andrew what distortion he was using after a gig in 2016 at the Wardrobe in Leeds. I mistakenly thought it was a fuzz, he told me it was this and it had two options, loud and fucking loud.
