Payam Doostzadeh's Effects Pedals

Mentioned in this March 8, 2017 Reddit post for the Young the Giant AMA.

yeedawg: I saw you guys live a few years ago and hearing Payam's bass tone was a life changing moment for me.

Being a bassist myself, I would love to know what he uses to make his sounds so big!

YoungTheGiantBand: haha thanks ! nothing too crazy to be honest, usually just a fender bass (or my lakland short scale) through an ampeg SVT-VR and an 8x10. a couple pedals here and there that i like using.. dark glass vintage micro tubes, TWA great divide 2.0 for synth bass sounds. play finger style mainly but use a pick for certain songs that call for it. cheers! -p

In response to a now deleted question from the same AMA, Doostzadeh stated that the pedal was used for the verse of "Something to Believe In".
