Ron Asheton

In this interview with Vintage Guitar, Asheton claims “I just found better fuzzboxes, like the Fuzz Face; I had the Jimi Hendrix ambition.”

“I’ve still got the standard DOD distortion pedals, Boss pedals, flangers, the distortion box, and the graphic equalizer,” he said. “I collect those like candy boxes. They’re more expensive now – in the old days, I used to get Vox wah-wah pedals for $35. Now they seem to go for as much as $200.”

For effects, Asheton stands by an Ibanez box with a 60-watt chorus, tube screamer, and compressor.

In this image one can see Ron Ashton's Marshall Supa Fuzz next to a Wah pedal. Pay attention to its shape, a very distinctive kind of shape. Marshall Supa Fuzz has a shape all its own. It resembles Vox Tone Bender shape just a little bit. Marshall knobs are placed on the higher part allocated with the noticeable slope in this cast body.

In this user-uploaded photo from Tumblr, Ron Asheton is pictured using a Vox V828 Tone Bender fuzz pedal. Although the image makes the pedal slightly difficult to recognize, it is likely the V828 model, placed next to a Wah pedal.
