"This is a custom one because they offer custom paint. I wanted the pink sparkle with the bake light knobs on there. The left hand side is kind of like an SVT preamp modeled after the old SVTs, and the right side is fuzz."

"The JHS pedal, like the Green Tea one, I'll use that on 'Lessons in Love' because it has a built-in compressor. So I'll keep it on and keep the verse tight and then turn it off and let the bass open up more on the chorus."

"I use the Zvex Woolly Mammoth on 'Trust'."

"My favorite fuzz pedal is another custom one they made for me, it's the white Low Drive. Well it's custom paint. It has a Low Rider car painted on it. The Low Drive pedal is probably one of the nastiest bass overdrive sounds that I've used. What was unique was when we made the record Picture Show we had Justin Meldal-Johnsen producing, who obviously with Nine Inch Nails as a bass player, and has recorded and played with everybody, and who's also known for having quite the arsenal of effects. Then the engineer was Billy Bush who has helped engineer all the garbage records. So when it comes time to do Teenage Sounds I say, 'Okay, we need the bass distortion because it's for the essence of that song. So everyone lines up and it's like this showdown where everyone brings out their fuzz and drive pedals for bass. I think there was even one BIlly had locked down in a vault, it was handmade for him. But I was pretty stoked to see that it was the JHS that I brought that actually won the shoot-out. I think what makes it cut so well is that we actually send it through the D.I. straight to a Teletronics LA2A. So it really helped the bass drive shine."

"My go-to pedal is definitely the Aguilar Tone Hammer. That's the preamp pedal. That's what I use. I mean I have definitely found the perfect combination between that pedal and a certain bass with the neo-punch pickup in it and then going into that Fender rig. That's all I needed. You could even say hey listen tonight we can't use any of your effects and you say 'Well I can't play that song because I don't have my chorus or my delay or anything like that.' It's definitely more of the after thought that comes with the bass lines and the underlying tone. The Tone Hammer is it, but all the pedals on the pedalboard I use even if one of them only gets used on a bridge. I don't like cutting corners and saying, 'Oh it's easier to leave that at home because of whatever.' It's like this is our craft. I like to experiment, but I'm also trying to get away from that too - I mean it's fun and there is an art with experimenting with tones and sounds. I think sometimes you have to learn too when to leave well enough alone because you're always going to be searching. You're always going to be playing with different things. I try to get what is really working, doing the right thing and really trying to commit to that."

"We have the TC Electronic Supernova, I use it as the delay pedal. I use that on 'I Am the DJ,' when we play that."

"I use the phaser pedal, which is actually a guitar pedal, on a song we have called 'Hooray for Hollywood'."

"The cool thing with that is that we doubled the bass with a synth-bass line and on the chorus, and what's unique about that bass is that it complements it and has a real natural topend that complents the synth-bass as well," says Branden Campbell about the Electro-Harmonix Bass MicroSynth Effects Pedal.
