"I decided to try out the Monarch for the purpose of carving out the tone a little bit to fit between Josh and Troy a little bit".

In this video about Troy Van Leeuwen's team from QOTSA, you can see back in the minute 3:56 onwards, Dean's pedalboard of guitar and synthesizer. And it is possible to see the EHX Little Big Muff, by its design and size, differs from the normal version.
Besides the POG and Fulltone, do you have a palette of go-to effects? There were just a couple of effects that were used a ton on Dodge and Burn. The EarthQuaker Devices Bit Commander, which is an octave pedal, saw a lot of light for these sessions. And the Fulltone Tube Tape Echo. They make guitars sound big.
Let’s talk about some specific songs on Dodge and Burn. “I Feel Love (Every Million Miles)” has this turbulent wall of sound that parts like the Dead Sea and then rolls back in again. How did you create those huge, roiling guitar sounds? The intro riff features a Moog analog delay. I just plugged into it and started playing that riff, and it became the foundation for the song.

In the verses, I leaned heavier on the Selmer and might’ve used an MXR Micro Amp as a preamp
