Greg Edwards

In a user-uploaded photo on Premier Guitar, Greg Edwards is shown with his recording equipment, including the EarthQuaker Devices Arpanoid pedal, among other EarthQuaker pedals.

Greg can be seen using a turbo rat in Failiures Golden Doccumentary. Aditionally, its a classic tone later used by Paul D'Amour on Tools first E.P.

We can see here Greg using the Rainbow Machine along with other Earthquaker pedals.

A bit commander can be seen here while recording.

Tracking of Failure's last album with Earthquaker pedals including the Palisades pictured.

For the latest Failure album, Greg relied heavily on Earthquaker pedals, as seen in this shot with his board.

At the end of his board pictured we can see a boss TU-3

Last on his board, a whammy 4 pictured on the shot of the Failure tracking.

In this image of Greg’s pedalboard on the 2016 Autolux tour, we can see Edwards using a DL-4 in conjunction with a small tap switch on top, next to his Whammy and above his expression pedals.

In the very top left corner of the pedalboard, we can see a Sustain Punch Creamy Dreamer, identifiable as this model by it's knob and footswitch placement as well as it's chickenhead knobs. He's used this pedal in Autolux since the very beginning of the band, and has featured in every rig he's had.

Found in the top left corner next to his Sustain Punch Creamy Dreamer, we can see Greg Edwards using a Crowther Hotcake distortion pedal. In the early days of Autolux he used two, and replaced one around the time of Transit Transit. Unknown which model this is, as in the early days of the band he used the 2 knob version, and the one on his 2016 pedalboard shown here is a 3 knobs version.

Found next to his Crowther Hotcake in the top left corner of the pedalboard, Edwards can be seen using a Fulltone Fulldrive II. He started using it around the time of Transit Transit, replacing one of his previously used Crowther Hotcakes, though as we can see he did keep one of them.

Found beneath his Sustain Punch Creamy Dreamer and Crowther Hotcake, we can see Edwards using a Digitech Jam Man Stereo Looper. As Autolux's music has grown more complex and relied on more instrumentation it may be easier to loop certain parts or use it in order for Edwards to cover multiple instruments in the same song.

Found sandwiched between an Eventide TimeFactor and Fulltone Fulldrive is a Fuzz Factory, used specifically as a replacement for many pedals used for the intro sound on Plantlife. Possibly also a replacement of the Frantone Peach Fuzz he used for Transit Transit.

Found next to Greg Edwards' Jam Man looper and underneath his Fuzz Factory, we can see his use of an Eventide TimeFactor delay pedal. Originally brought into his rig after the release of Future Perfect as a replacement for his Line 6 Echo Pro rackmounted delay unit.

Seen on the very bottom left of the pedalboard, we can see Greg Edwards using a Moog Moogerfooger Ring Mod. It is specifically the one of the very bottom left because of it's distinctive knob and switch placement. He's used the pedal since the very early days of the band, but it's unknown where it's used (the outro to Sugarless is one guess).

Found in the bottom left corner next to the Moog Ring Mod, we can see Greg Edwards using a Moog FreqBox, denoted by the very specific knob and switch placement across the pedal. After the Transit Transit tours the whole band dismantled their rack systems and became fully reliant on pedals, thus Edwards got this as a replacement for his Sherman Filterbank, a longtime favourite of the band.

At the bottom of the pedalboard stuck between multiple expression pedals and his two Moogerfopger pedals, we can see Greg Edwards using an original Electro Harmonix POG unit. Added to his pedalboard sometime after the release of Transit Transit to replicate the sounds from that album without relying on rack units.

In this Instagram photo from the Pussy’s Dead tour, the Bit Mangler can be seen in the bottom middle of the photo, on the top row of Greg’s pedalboard.

Used from (assuming) 1995 until 1997. Considering Greg Edwards had a Lexicon Vortex in his 90s Failure bass rig, one can only assume he was using the volume pedal as an expression pedal to morph between A/B on his vortex for some insane sounds heard during this tour. Most notably the segue to Stuck on You during these periods where you can hear some sort of "pitch-modulated-oscillation" similar to a DJ scratch. Also sometimes seen being used during the solo section of Saturday Savior and as-well as during the intros of some Sergeant Politeness performances from 1997.

Taken from an excerpt of a '97 issue of Bass Player Magazine. Lists the complete equipment of gear/pedals that Greg Edwards was using during the Fantastic Planet tour. One of the pedals mentioned is the Dunlop TS-1, ASFAK this pedal was only used on Segue 1 in conjunction with the EHX Big Muff for that giant stuttering bass sound, the only other song this pedal was used was on Saturday Savior, specifically during the solo section. Best heard of the June 1st and 9th performances of the song in 1997.
