Jonny Greenwood's Studio Equipment
In a live performance of "Everything In Its Right Place" in Paris in 2001, Jonny Greenwood used the Korg KP2 Kaoss Pad 2, showcasing its role in Radiohead's electronic sound during their "Kid A" era. This performance is captured in a YouTube video by afeliafail.
A Roland Space Echo RE-201 can be seen on this detailed gear diagram of Jonny Greenwood's 1997 Radiohead stage setup.
In this image we can see Jonny playing a Roland PC-200 MK II.
At 0:52, Jonny can be seen using a "Fatar Studio 610 Plus", as a "Organ" or a "Ooh" sound effect.
Jonny Greenwood was photographed holding a box for the Roland Boutique TR-09 drum machine while leaving a hotel, as shown in a Twitter post by JonnyPics.

Jonny used this on the guitar solo in Paranoid Android in the studio. The Mutator is a stereo analogue filter and envelope follower with full control facilities. It contains two independent voltage controlled filters similar to those found in analogue synthesizers, which can be used to treat any external sound source. Each filter can be controlled from its own associated low frequency oscillator (LFO) and/or its own envelope follower section, which extracts the envelope contour of an input signal and applies it to control the cut-off frequency of the filter.
Each envelope follower can be switched to track either the envelope of the sound that is being treated by the filter, or that of an independent external control signal. This external control signal can be any audio source , eg. a drum sound, a guitar, a synth, a sampler output, or even a microphone. Thus the envelope characteristics of one sound can be superimposed onto the filtering contour of another.
Another switch on the envelope follower selects envelope follow mode or gate mode - in which the circuit detects whether a signal is above a certain threshold level before switching on.
In gate mode, the device can operate much like a dedicated noise gate unit, with the added capabilities of the analogue filter
The LFO's have four different sweep waveforms each and may be switched via a stereo link to produce stereo panning effects.
Johnny in this version of "The Numbers" plays into a Vox AC30 Combo amplifier. Seated above the amplifier, a vintage CR78 is being used as the drum track for this performance. The machine is also reference in the title of the Youtube video.
In this YouTube video at 9:27, Jonny Greenwood can be seen using the Roland FC-200 at the end of the song "15 Step" during Radiohead's "In Rainbows From the Basement" set from 2008.
A photograph of Jonny Greenwood's backup pedalboard, taken during the June 2024 tour, clearly shows the use of a Radial JDI Stereo Passive DI.
Jonny Greenwood's computer setup for "Electric Counterpoint" at the Barbican in 2014 included a Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 USB interface, as evidenced by a photograph showing the equipment arrangement with a Macbook Pro 13” laptop and two BSS Audio AR-133 units.

A photograph taken during the recording of Radiohead's "In Rainbows" at their studio "Butts Furlong" shows Jonny Greenwood utilizing an Akai MPC60.
In this photo from the band’s 1997 Glastonbury performance, an Akai S3200XL can be seen in the top space of each of Jonny’s two racks. On tour, they were used to reproduce the sounds of Jonny’s Mellotron M400, which he sampled onto the units.
