Robin: “At the moment, a Fender Blacktop Jazzmaster.”

Mentioned in this November 27, 2014 Total Guitar interview.

Robin: “I used the [Electro- Harmonix] Holy Grail for years for reverb, but they just kept breaking - the old EHX pedals are just a bit temperamental sometimes, so I’m using a TC [Electronic] Hall Of Fame.”

Known from two Music Radar interviews:

Total Guitar, "Post-rock roundtable: 3 bands, 5 guitarists, 1 interview" by Michael Brown (November 27, 2014)

Music Radar, "Pedalboard tour with Maybeshewill's Robin Southby and John Helps" by Rob Laing (February 8, 2023) (pictured)

Robin: "I recently downsized my 'board. I had quite a big one before with a bunch of space on and a few pedals I never used. I was kind of into the idea of having a bit more of a minimal setup. I've gone with really basic stuff – just the bare essentials."

TC Electronic Hall Of Fame Reverb

"'I've had this for ages. It's basically on the Church sound which has got that real big post-rock reverb, which is great. Sometimes I take the level down a bit for different songs.

Robin: “The [Marshall] JCM800 I’ve used for years, which actually belongs to John, but it’s just a great, workhorse amp; you can crank it and it sounds great.”

Ibanez Tube Screamer Mini

"This is also really good from a size point of view but sounds just like the full-size Tube Screamer. So I use that in conjunction with the OD-3 for my distortion sounds. The Tube Screamer Mini boosts for lead parts."

Boss OD-3 Overdrive

"The OD-3 is the main drive and between this and the Tube Screamer they can sound pretty heavy, to be fair. I used a REVV G3 for a while and it coloured the sound quite a lot – a bit too metal sounding. This is more of a transparent sort of thing and it still goes gainy and sounds pretty heavy."

Boss DD-3 Digital Delay

"The DD-3 is usually set with feedback on max. For the end of a lot of our songs I just kick it on and it does a noisy swell and then you can flick between the modes and get a cool glitchy cutting in and out sort of thing. Then you can play with the delay time and it sounds noisy and nice."

Electro Harmonix Canyon Delay

"The Canyon is a pretty sick pedal – it does a bunch of different delay sounds. I use it mainly on the Memory Man setting which has got a nice emulation of one. It's got tap tempo as well which is pretty cool. This provides the main delay sound."

[...]

"This 'board is pretty simple but it covers all the bases. You can get quite a lot of versatility out of the Canyon especially as it does other delay sounds. So that can be pretty useful.
