Mike Patton's Gear
Throughout the performance Patton is seen using two Shure Beta 57s one for regular vocals and one for vocals with effects. This is made obvious by the microphone grilles.
In this youtube video you can see the SK-88 above the DJ-70. The SK-88 can be identified by the MIDI ports in the back and most importantly, the RCA outputs on the side of the keyboard. Trey Spruance also mentions in this interview (https://nirrosive.tripod.com/equipment.html) that
"Some of the sounds on his little Roland keyboard are pretty good."
Since the DJ-70 is a sampler and doesn't have any factory sounds, it can be inferred that he's talking about the SK-88.
He uses Synthotron according to Red Witch website .
in this video he can be seen using this specific RCA cassette recorder
Mike Patton is listed in the Artists Gallery of Red Witch Pedals as a user of the Red Witch Titan delay effects pedal.
