Lou Reed

Lou Reed used the Vox V828 Tone Bender during his time with the Velvet Underground, as documented on the archived Lou Reed Guitar Archive website.

In 1994, Pete Cornish created an updated effects system for Lou Reed, enhancing his 1992 pedalboard setup. This information comes from Pete Cornish's official website.

Lou Reed used a Pigtronix Philosopher King pedal, according to Pigtronix's website.
