Renard showcases their use of the Electro-Harmonix Blurst Modulated Filter on Twitter, highlighting its integration into their setup, which creatively utilizes a cheap monitor riser and velcro for neatness.

The LIGHT be clearly seen in this stream’s displayed pedalboard.

In the first of their “pedal feedback” series, emma demonstrates how they create cool analog sounds with a mixer and this pedal.

This is the second part of emma’s “pedal feedback” series, demonstrating how different pedals create different sounds when put into a no-input configuration. The ammoon Octa is used here.

This is emma’s first Chase Bliss pedal, and they use it consistently in several recordings and streams afterwards. From the MOOD’s “pedal feedback” video:

the MOOD is one of the centrepieces of my pedal work. whether it be for the purposes of quickly grabbing feedback and sculpting it into industrial alien spaces as heard in this video or for grabbing onto a small clip of anything else happening in the pedal chain and turning it into a sound bed to work on top of, there's always a reason to use the MOOD. this pedal absolutely changed the way i work with feedback, as did its kind-of-sister, the blooper (which i won't have a video on, as it doesn't take to feedback nicely - it serves its typical purpose as a looper/editor in my pedal setup)

emma gets a blooper here, and uses it consistently in many records and streams afterward.

Along with the blooper, emma got the DD-8 to enhance their recording. It’s used in a lot of recordings and streams afterward.

This is seen in emma’s other videos like the blooper jam, but this specific video showcases how beautiful the Organizer sounds with no input.

emma uses the Bubbles in a no-input setup.

i love weirdo delays and this is one of the more weirdo-er i've ever used. it ranges from being pretty tame to an absolutely crunched-out sludgefest. there's a lot to like about this one. if i have one gripe, it's that the fader can't be 100% wet. that would be the cherry on top of an already awesomely fun little machine.

emma demonstrates the GRAZER in a no-input setup.

sadly, Dwarfcraft is no longer in business.

i say: a damn shame, as now this pedal is way too expensive. i picked it up a few years ago and it's one of my most-used effects. it's a glitchy granular pitchshifter and it does wonderful things to sound.

The feedback regenerator can be clearly seen in this particular setup. It’s also used pretty frequently in several releases and streams.

emma uses an EP-3 to change the pitch of their tape loops here.

The Pitch Box can be seen next to the Ditto Looper in one of emma’s photos. It was also used for some livestreams.

Showcased during emma's "pedal rig rundown", in which it's part of the "mod" island.

An Avalanche Run is used for emma's demonstration of the volca modular.

In this livestream VOD, a Resotron can be clearly seen.
