Nuno Bettencourt's Effects Pedals
"I used to use the RAT pedal back in the day but I put what it did in my signature amp at the front end. If I use a Marshall amp, I still use the RAT." - Paraphrased from the video at around 4:30
In interview done with Music Radar, Bettencourt says.
“The pedalboard that I’m using... well, I’m not much on effects anyway, and with Extreme it’s always about the real minimalistic approach.
"Even though it’s a multi-effects unit, I use four patches for 90 percent of the songs. There’s just a plain one, then a little bit of chorus on another one for all the chorus hooks that I play on.
"The third patch is like a solo boost - more for the volume and adding delay for the solo. The fourth is always a flanger. I just use that to go to for ‘vibe’ when I feel like that. That’s all that I really have on there. other than a few delay changes, that’s basically it.”
Nuno Bettencourt previously used the Boss ME-5 Multi-Effect Unit alongside the ADA MP-1.
He said this about his noise gate pedal...
"Other than that it’s just a noise gate and I think that’s it. Yeah, I think it’s just the noise gate there.”
In interview with Music Radar, Bettencourt says about his OC-2...
"There are songs like Comfortably Dumb and stuff off of [2008 album] Saudades De Rock, or whatever, that I’ll use it for if the songs were written that way.”
Although he didn't mention anything about this tuner, it is still visible in his photo in interview done for Music Radar.
