Billy Corgan

"The drum machine used on 1979 and other songs on Mellon Collie..."

Sold on Corgan's official Reverb.com shop.

Billy Corgan's Alesis HR-16 was used for drum loops on a number of Smashing Pumpkins tracks, including "1979."

At 4:49 in the video you can see this is apart of Billy's gear. He uses this to switch between the different amp model pre amps in his rig. He switches between them in order to get the needed tone for certain songs

2 Radial JD7 Injectors can be seen in Corgan's rack at about 3:00 in this Rig Rundown.

Seen here behind Pumpkins' bassist D'arcy Wretzky, the harmonizers were used as an improvement over the previously (studio) used H3000s by both Corgan and Iha.

Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins, TD-1)

In this video of Billy Corgan’s 2012 Smashing Pumpkins rig, Corgan notes at 3:21 that the Palmer PDI-03’s give him a certain ‘forward’ quality to the guitar tone through a PA, a quality he found while listening to Alex Lifeson of Rush, who was an avid user of these units.

In this Rig Rundown by Premier Guitar a picture is shown of Billy’s effect pedals currently used. See the MIDI-controller on the left.
