Niall Kennedy discusses his use of the EarthQuaker Devices Rainbow Machine in a MusicRadar feature, explaining that he utilizes it similarly to a Harmonist for creating unusual drum fill-type effects on guitar.

“This does pitch modulation-type little bends, like in Big Things Do Remarkable I use it at the end and do a big pitch bend, and use it throughout the set in the same way a drummer would do a drum fill.”

“I’ve got the clean on the amp, and the Spark gives it just that little bit of grit.”

“I use this for all my delays, some of my reverbs, and then I also use a kind of rhythmic tremolo to create a choppy sound, a bit of a drum-fill sound at the end [of songs].”

"I use the POG for all the octave stuff."

“I use the effects loop to stick in this reverb - I have that on church setting, just a big, huge sound, have the mix up real high, the decay up real high.”

“I just use that with delays and reverbs to do swells and things like that.And sometimes, I’ll have the POG on as well, which can get a big, thick low-end sound, and have loads of reverb and delay stacked and do big, huge swells.”
