Robert McDowell's Effects Pedals
Two Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb pedals were used at once to get the cathedral-like sounds that ramp up to the crescendo of “The Mansion,” and that song’s secret weapon was a Walrus Audio Janus—a tremolo/fuzz that McDowell describes as “completely blown-out and insane sounding. It entirely changes your tone. There are two joysticks to control the fuzz and tremolo separately, and I was down on the floor playing with those as I recorded.”
Found on the bottom right hand corner of Rob's Pedalboard in this Picture Circa the Early 2010's.
The current lineup includes an Old Blood Noise Endeavors Reflector Chorus
