"... I got my unicorn milk here (...)" (check around the 1:06 timestamp mark) Okay, this one I am unsure - the FX pedal is hidden inside a pill-shaped recipient and it does not look like anything I know of. Please correct this item if you know better.

garyholt_official's profile picture garyholt_official Verified Guitar players!!!! What you are looking at here is the gear of the year. This little pocket sized preamp by @mooeraudio is literally, a 5150 that fits in your pocket. I would gig anywhere anytime with this alone. Crushing. They make many others, suited to many different amp styles, but holy shit this thing rages.

From the interview with Premier Guitar:

What effects did you use for Blood In, Blood Out? Holt: I use a ton of different pedals. I love stompboxes—they’re like crack to me! I have pedals from Maxon, Dunlop, HomeBrew Electronics, Pigtronix. I use a lot of the Maxon Tube Screamer-type pedals. They made the original ones, so they have ones that are exactly like the original, sought-after ones, and they also have updated versions.

I also love the Boss Octaver. I’ve never been without one my whole life. Dunlop makes a bass octave pedal, which sounds probably even a little better and has a smaller footprint, which I also like. And I use a Voodoo Lab Ground Control. With Slayer, I’ve been using the Dunlop Jerry Cantrell wah. Kerry [King] uses the Zakk Wylde wah, so I wanted something to differentiate our wah sounds.
