brian is quoted as saying: Pro Co RAT Brian: “I’ve got an original one. They’ve made a reissue that sounds really close, almost identical to that distortion sound. It just bites and pops more than any other pedal.
“Sometimes you put on distortion on top of something already distorted and it’s like a math problem, everything cancels each other out, you know? This gives a big boost and I can always hear the notes really well. I’ll kick it in for any lead sounds.”

In a MusicRadar interview, Brian Bell's pedalboard from 2018 is featured, though initially labeled as Rivers Cuomo's. The article clarifies it belongs to Brian, as Rivers mentions using a Kemper and a Boss TU-3. Among the pedals, Brian discusses the Boss AC-3 Acoustic Simulator, praising its ability to transform electric guitar sounds into acoustic-like tones on stage. He describes it as essential for achieving the acoustic timbre and percussive sound, especially when playing songs like "My Name Is Jonas" with his mirrored Explorer.

DLS Effects Rotosim “The last pedal I incorporated, because I try to keep all of this real simple, is the RotoSIM for a Leslie effect, a bit like a Rotovibe.
“A friend of mine got some deal with this pedal company and they gave me this big box of pedals. I didn’t really need delay or anything like that in this band, I just wanted another colour. I didn’t even know what a Rotovibe was… but this was perfect and exactly what I was looking for. If I’m not kicking in distortion or reverb, this is what it’ll be!”
