In this Instagram post, the "Ross Compressor Pedal" can be clearly seen.

In this Instagram post, Gotoh states that he has bought the "Aguilar Octamizer Bass Octave Effect Pedal" after Hinata Hidekazu, the bassist from the band "Nothing's Carved in Stone" recommended it to him.

Gotoh uses the BAD CAT 30R in the studio, first using it on ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION's eighth album "Wonder Future".

In interviews Gotoh said he liked to use the amp for a heavier, distorted sound, as an alternative to the Fender Vibro King or Fender Super-Sonic. (Both Fender amps are used in his live setup)

In this Instagram post, Gotoh can be seen holding the "Death By Audio Total Sonic Annihilation 2".

In this old fansite, you can see examples of Gotoh's pedalboards up to about 2010. (He would start to experiment with his pedal board more prior to the release of their eighth album "Wonder Future".

Gotoh first started using phase effects after the release of "World World World" and used the BOSS Super Phaser from 2007-2015, using it on songs such as "Shinkokyu" and "Blue Train".

Gotoh has since experimented with other phase effect pedals but predominantly uses the MU-TRON Phaser II pedal in his live setup. (a quite rare and expensive pedal)

In the linked エフェクターってなぁに？("What's an effector?") segment of the radio show "Just a Feeling supported by only in dreams", Gotch introduces the Carl Martin Headroom pedal (first shown at 0:50 in the video). After the host remarks that it's rather large (1:19), Gotch explains (1:22 - 1:29) that rather than live shows, it's used for recordings, where it really comes in handy.

ライブ器材じゃなくて、レコーディングようの器材としてすごい重宝してる。

Gotch explains (1:47) that it's a great reverb for guitar when you want a pure sound, as opposed to his Fender Tweed reverb he'd use for a wilder effect that changes the sound of the guitar.

(3:07 - 5:10) The B channel is set to a longer delay, but Gotch uses the short delay on the A channel (marked with a red line) rather often. He explains that it lets e.g. a distorted solo guitar stand out from a wall of sound.

Gotoh has this guitar but nowadays the pickguard was removed. This guitar use mainly for song "Empathy" and was used for "Yoru wo Koete" music video.

Gotoh only used Fender Mustang for "Solanin" music video, the same guitar played by protagonists on Solanin movie.

In this reddit post, the post talks about Gotoh's old a new gear. In the 2004 gear, you can see a Rat distortion pedal.

Masafumi Gotoh is confirmed to use Shinos as part of his equipment, as detailed in the article by aki2525 titled "[Masafumi Gotoh] How to Recreate the ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION Sound + Guitar Gear and Tone Settings [Effects & Amps]" on the website ギター機材・虎の巻.
