Avi Bortnick's Effects Pedals

Bortnick’s tone, “goes into DOD FX 17 Wah/Volume. Almost no one uses these things. Everyone thinks they suck, but I like them. I like it because you turn it on in the down position rather than the treble position. That's one of the reasons I like it. But I also think it sounds kinda cool. It sounds different than a Cry Baby. It's kind of not as dramatic or something,” (18:02)

"Biyang Fuzz Star – Also killer, and cheap. I wish it’s output were lower, though."

Bortnick uses an Electroharmonix Frequency Analyzer. “That's a cool sound,” he says, “but it's even cooler if you can manipulate it a little bit,” (17:13)

Bornick uses the Wrightsounds Fuzz Stang pedal. “Fuzz Stang, very raunchy kind of '60s. Sometimes I'll use it for chords or just for like a big blast of noise, but mostly it's just for some single note occasions,” he says (17:13).

According to Bortnick, this is a “Nice, light overdrive. I use it just to fatten up single note lines and sometimes to thicken up chords and give a little grit.” (17:31)

After the wah, Bortnick’s sound goes through the, “to Boss CE-2 Chorus Pedal. Kinda’ set to the "Sco" sound... cause you know there's a couple of instants, where I'm emulating something he did in demo or on the record,” (19:10).

Bortnick’s signal, “goes into standard the Boss TR 2 Tremolo, which I think are great,” he says. (19:31)

For one of his delays, Bortick uses “ a MXR Carbon Copy Delay, which is awesome. Nice analog delay, and it has a little modulation button, I'm sure everyone knows.” (19:53)

Find it on:

Bortnick uses two delay pedals, one being the Strymon El Capistan Delay. “You know…it's basically a miniature computer. It's good sounding I don't think it's as good sounding as the Carbon Copy, but it's cool. I like having two delays to get more ambient stuff,” (20:34).

"DOD FX17 Wah – I love how you have to rock back to turn it on, and how it sounds, though I sometimes use a Dunlop Crybaby 95Q for a stronger wah sound."
