Nyles Lannon's Effects Pedals

Pictured and discussed in this September 26, 2021 KEXP Feedback interview.

I’ve always been an atmosphere guy. I think the pedal I’ve had the longest is my vintage Memory Man Deluxe by Electro-Harmonix. I’ve already gone through at least three of these. What can I say about this pedal? It is just a staple, every guitarist should have one. I love the chorus reverb; it adds luscious depth and overtones to everything.

In recent years, I’ve fallen in love with adding a little sheen of organ or mellotron to my playing, especially lead melody lines. I’ve been a fan of the Electro-Harmonix C9 since that thing came out. I just use it ever so slightly. You can hear it on our last couple albums and also on my last solo release. I just love the sound of it, especially coupled with the Strymon Ola Chorus pedal. The Ola is a great sounding chorus.

For overdrive, I tend to use Death by Audio Interstellar Overdriver, which I bought about 15 years ago. Great overdrive, not too gnarly. I also have an Ibanez Tube Screamer (I use it for a little boost with definition), and Fulltone OCD (a smoother, heavy distortion). These all sound great going to my Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp.

For delay, I’ve used a Line 6 DL4 (not pictured) for as long as I can remember, it’s another staple.

After the delay I go into an Afterneath by EarthQuaker Devices. It’s an echo reverb, and I find it impossible to understand. But if I get the knobs right, it can provide a wonderful reverb cloud when I need it.

Lastly, I’m going through the xotic EP Booster. It’s a nice little tone enhancer.
