Benjamin Curtis

This website contains an excerpt from an interview with U2's the Edge, who credits Ben with having introduced him to this pedal. "I used Death By Audio's Supersonic Fuzz Gun on the song 'No Line on the Horizon,' and a couple of others I think. It was Ben Curtis who turned me onto them. He's one of the Curtis Brothers from Secret Machines -- he's got a new band now called School of Seven Bells, who are pretty interesting."

In this image from a live performance by SVIIB in 2011, Ben's POD can be seen sitting atop one of his amplifiers (the one in the middle). He controlled it using an FB Longboard floor unit.

In this interview, Benjamin Curtis of The Secret Machines, and Tripping Daisy, says, "It's probably not the coolest thing in the world because it's not boutique, but I just love the Line 6 M13 [Stompbox Modeler]. I know everybody's using it, but man, it's just great. There's a reverb on it called 'Particle Verb,' and it's a sound I've been trying to make for years. It sounds like a drunken London Symphony Orchestra or something like that."
