At 2:52 minute mark of Billy Corgan's pedal collection video, the Boss HF-2 Hi Band Flanger can be seen.

In the list on spfc.org, a comprehensive list of all equipment used by the Pumpkins over their career.

In the Reverb News article "New Reverb Shop Will Let You Own a Piece of Billy Corgan," a Gibson Ripper Bass is shown among the gear associated with Billy Corgan.

At 2:14 minute mark, Vox 1901 distortion pedal can be seen in Corgan's stompland.

At 2:52 minute mark of Billy Corgan's "Stompland", the Boss SP-1 spectrum pedal is visible.

At 0:32 minute mark either Boss DSD-2 or DSD-3 can be seen in Billy's collection of pedals. Since there is technically no difference between the two versions of DSD, I don't think it really matters which one does he own.

"Kurzweil K2000r auctioned a few years ago on eBay by Official SP Memorabilia. Used by Billy Corgan in studio with the Smashing Pumpkins from Mellon Collie to Machina. You can definitely recognized the presets used on those classic SP albums, especial on MCIS and Adore. This was mainly used for pads and classical instruments : the synth strings on To Forgive, Appels + Oranjes, Blank Page, the strings on Tear, the oboe on Lily, the fx and pads on Beautiful...if you're a Smashing Pumpkins fan, you'll hear them at some point and discover other ones while browsing the K2000r presets.

The K2000R is n very good condition but shows obvious signs of wear (see pictures) due to years of following the Pumpkins in various recording facilities all around the world."

"This Diezel VH4 is from the private collection of Billy Corgan.

According to Corgan, this amp was used on the Machina tour in an isolation cabinet offstage to layer with his stage amp.

This has some sticker labels on it, but the tolex itself is in good condition, with no major blemishes. Overall, mostly clean cosmetic condition.

Master volume pot is very scratchy. All other channels and controls work as they should.

Power cord is not included."

It was also used on the Zeitgest tour.

"This Marshall 2204 Master Model 50W MkII Lead is from the private collection of Billy Corgan.

This was part of Corgan's rack of four Marshall heads that he had in the studio to provide classic Marshall tones or particular harmonic layering within a track.

This head is missing the handle on top and has a handful of scuffs and scratches, as well as some tape labeling it for Corgan "BC" and a "1" sticker on the side. It is otherwise clean, with no major blemishes.

This 50W Marshall head is a joy to play, with warm, thick, articulate cleans on the low channel and endlessly satisfying crunch on the high channel. All pots and controls work cleanly and reliably.

The power cable is attached on this amp head."

"Hofner Violin Bass used with Zwan"

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

In this rig rundown Billy shows off the Preamp modual he uses for his amp tone. This was custom made for him by the company salvation mods. This module was based off the original RM4 by randall amps. inside this module he has afew preamps based on amps he has used both live and in studio with Smashing pumkins

"Clone Theory... one of the original Pumpkins' Clone Theories" says Billy about this pedal at 3:11.

Billy shows this ARP in his instagram and quotes "Mellotron M400 + Arp String Ensemble = solid gold", as far as i know he uses it to write the strings arrangements for his solo and pumpkins albums.
