Mike's signature pedal. Originally issued as a very-limited edition AccessPass on the PledgeMusic page for Vennart's debut solo album The Demon Joke. It was described on the site as "2 of the greatest fuzzes on earth, in one box". Vennart elaborated on this further in his interview with Total Guitar: "You've got the [Lovetone] Big Cheese on one side with four different settings of fuzz. I use that a lot for broken-up, Velcro-y shitty-sounding stuff. And then the other side is the IC Big Muff; it's got a switch on it that takes the tone control out so it just gets more woolly but really, really fat."

"The Whammy Wah is like an old 90s pedal. I bought a couple of these because they keep breaking; I think they're just made for the studio, really, [...] the whammy effect is something that I use an awful lot just for texture and when [I'm] using a lot of delay and other stuff and it sounds really tasty. It's got some other stuff on there like auto-wahs and filters and stuff like that."

Find it on:

"I'm using it in place of a Whammy; the Whammy was taking up too much space. That's the main sound on 'Infatuate'."

This can be seen in this picture, in the top right hand corner of Mike's pedalboard.

At 3:15 into the video, Mike discusses the Line 6 FM4 Filter Modeler, saying "I use that for, like synth sounds and horrible swells and string pads and stuff like that. There's a lot in it, but most of it's pretty tasteless, so you have to use it quite sparingly".
