In an interview with PureSalem Guitars, Christian Savill of Slowdive discusses using the Mr. Black Gilamondo phaser.

“My first-ever pedal was an Ibanez CSL Chorus given to me by a kid in a metal band on my street who couldn't find a use for it. Then, I bought a reverb unit from another metal guitarist that sat on my amp“

“Eventually, I got a Yamaha FX500, and I think I hit the Lush Strings setting pretty hard. […] Of course, we did use the original Soft Focus patch on the Yamaha FX500 a bit, mainly for shows. But as I mentioned, we used the Lush Strings patch often, maybe more than the Soft Focus patch. But I could be imagining that. ”

This photo was provided by Michael Gardner, who custom built the Slowdriver for Christian and Neil Halstead to replace their RAT pedals. Both Christian and Neil have been using the Slowdriver during their 2023/24 performances.

In the YouTube video titled "Slowdive - 95bFM Live Session," at approximately 10:27, Christian Savill's pedal board is shown featuring a Boss Digital Delay pedal. The layout of the printed text on the pedal confirms it as the Boss DD-7 Digital Delay. This performance was captured and shared by 95bFM.
