Mike Einziger's Effects Pedals

In the documentary film "The Morning View Sessions," Mike Einziger had a Way Huge Swollen Pickle as part of his rig. To my knowledge, this footage is unfortunately not accessible for free online. He also mentions using one in the March 2007 issue of Guitar One Magazine.

" I also have this pedal called a Reel Echo. It's a Danelectro (DRE-1) pedal and it's a delay. It's like a tape simulator delay that you can change the rate of the delay without changing the pitch. A couple times I had it set really fast, like really, really fast. And I kicked it on a couple times, so it sounds like this weird feedback. But it's really just like a really fast delay kind of mixed with this reverb, and was probably kind of feeding back through my amp, too."
