Graham is a recent convert to the Line 6 Helix’s amp modelling, looping and effects features and has been rehearsing for his forthcoming one-man-band solo tour of the US with it, using both electric and acoustic guitars.

I used the original RAT pedals and I got the FATRAT, just to see how similar to the old RATs it is.

"For amps, I used old Marshall heads and Marshall 4x12 cabinets, as well as some smaller amps. I still use racks for effects, although I have a couple of pedals—a crazy Japanese fuzz called a Sanyi, a DOD FX76 Punkifier, and an Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail."

In these stills from recording "The Magic Whip", the ProCo TurboRAT is visible.

Although it could be unclear whether this pedal is actually CS-3 or CS-2, this is CS-3, judging by the number of knobs. CS-3 has 4, and CS-2 has 3 knobs, positioned triangular.

“Jam pedals inspire.. they show you new avenues to explore. I love pedals that have a strong personality – that somehow take the pressure off me and cause the guitar to become the boss.the results are usually far more interesting than relying on my own will. Red muck has the “it’s gonna get crazy If I push that” button. I love that it feels dangerous to step on a button that will wreak havoc and take the control from me and into the hands of a small metal box full of wires. I don’t always like to be in control.. jam pedals satisfy the need to relinquish control – to just jump out of the norm without a parachute.”
