Gerard Way features the Electro-Harmonix Green Russian Big Muff Reissue on his Instagram, mentioning its nostalgic connection to his teenage years and its use in his current setup with a Fender KC Jaguar and a Vintage 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp.

Gerard Way's collection includes the Death By Audio Fuzz War pedal, as featured in a sneak peek on Instagram.

Gerard Way showcases the Electro-Harmonix Sovtek "Green Russian" Big Muff Pi V7C on his Instagram, where he shares a series of videos playing through his collection of fuzz pedals.

In Gerard Way's "Fuzz Wars" series on Instagram, he writes this:

I believe this is a reissue of a vintage Big Muff like the one Billy Corgan used on Siamese Dream. I’m using this quite a bit lately.

On Way's Fuzz Wars Instagram series, he shows the Fender Blender off:

Used to achieve the distortion on Action Cat from Hesitant Alien. Played single root notes on the E string as well as single notes on the higher strings to add layers and build the wall of sound. That broken sounding opening guitar is this pedal.

"Love this pedal. Another key component to the Hesitant Alien bass tone. Both recorded and live. And it’s called an assmaster and it looks awesome and I had to have it."

Gerard Way is playing the Noise Kick FX Laser Cat Fuzz pedal in this video he posted on Instagram.

"Noise Kick FX Laser Cat Fuzz.

This is currently my favorite fuzz pedal, simply for the unique fuzz sound it delivers and the out-of-control Hiss feature. Doesn’t sound like any fuzz I’ve heard before and I like it so much I haven’t messed with the knobs (well I turned the volume knob up for this video) because I want to record with it exactly as it sounded when I first pulled it out of the box. I know I could mark the settings (or just simply remember that all knobs go in the middle) but I’m having too much fun with it as is. Step on the Hiss and get a laser light show and brain-glitching sounds. Brilliant pedal."
