Paul Banks uses two pedalboards when playing alongside RZA as Banks & Steelz. This photo is of his smaller side pedalboard, which appears to be dedicated to pitch shifting and looping. For some Banks & Steelz songs performed live, Banks plays bass parts with his electric guitar, hence the need for octave pedals. His Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork can be seen in this photo (taken at the Banks & Steelz Official 2016 ACL Fest Late Night Show at Antone's in Austin TX on Fri October 7, 2016).

Paul Banks can be seen using an EBow at 0:27 into this video of Take You on a Cruise.

Paul Banks uses two pedalboards when playing alongside RZA as Banks & Steelz. This photo is of his smaller side pedalboard, which appears to be dedicated to pitch shifting and looping. His TC Electronic Ditto Looper pedal can be seen in this photo, and judging by its size and shape it appears to be the standard, mono version of the Ditto.

In an interview about how Paul Banks writes and records music for his solo material, he mentions using an Apogee ONE USB guitar interface to get his guitar riffs into Logic Pro.

"If I write a guitar line, then I also have an Apogee One, so I can input my guitar into my laptop through that interface. It also has a really good microphone. So I just have a bass guitar and a regular guitar in my hotel room every day, and I would just get Logic-ed up instead of getting liquored up."

In this photo, Paul Banks is using a dd-3. We know it is a dd-3 because the boss dd-3 has the power jack in the middle, and has been in production since 1986. It is not the dd-7, as that was released in 2008.

In this quote from Peter Katis, the producer of TOTBL and Antics, he says “The band have used Fender amps from the beginning, augmenting their sound on their debut with a handful of pedals and preferring pedals to amp reverb, with the humble Alesis MicroVerb featuring heavily on TOTBL: “Cheaper reverbs have a sound that is darker and messier and cooler…” said Katis. “Without that little $50 piece of gear, the record would’ve sounded totally different.”
