Reddit, October 19, 2015, "We are MUTEMATH! Ask Us Anything!"
saturnzebra Roy - What did you use to get that "woody" overdriven guitar on Allies? What would you say your most essential piece of gear is? Do you prefer fruits or vegetables and why?
mutemathofficial Roy- JHS morning glory is essential, and helps get a lot of crucial tones we use. Equally excited about fruits and veggies.

And then I go into this Morning Glory, which has been one of my favorite pedals, maybe of all time. It sounds great on bass, it is all over the record. It's an overdrive, but it's really subtle, it adds over a great color. It's always on for bass and guitar.
Josh H. Scott I remember coming to a show after we had met and you guys, like Todd, I met Todd, he had filled in on guitar and had become the new member. I had come to some soundchecks and I walked up to your board and I believe it's this board. We're still speculating the year, but if you see the top left you have the crazy old unpainted ABY, Nick will remember those.
Nick Loux Oh yeah.
Josh H. Scott And then you have a stamped Morning Glory, with the bad stamp, the one that's like, not separated and that was, that was super interesting because I was just making pedals and surviving and building a company and that was the guitar pedal. That was a pedal I made for me to play my single coils through Bassmans and it just felt right to me and that's all I cared about and I walk up and I'm like, "This, like, bass player I love is using it on his bass?"
In the Premier Guitar "Rig Rundown" video, Roy Mitchell-Cárdenas of Mutemath discusses using the JHS Colour Box pedal, noting its placement at the end of his effects chain.
At 11:22 minute mark, Mitchell-Cardenas shows the JHS Mini Foot Fuzz pedal.
In this rig rundown with Roy, he point out the Flashback after his rehoused DD-7, and says he uses presets, which gives him a lot of quick things to go to
In this Rig Rundown, Roy points out his Ibanez DE7 which he details as a "classic Mutemath pedal" and describes how he prefers the warmth of this particular pedal opposed to his Flashback and the DD7
At 12:34, Roy points out the OC-3 octave pedal by Boss. This was in the Rig Rundown conducted by Premier Guitar.
In this rig rundown, Roy points out the JHS pedal, which he keeps in loop 1 of his One Control

Grand combo.
Mitchell-Cardenas has 15 presets on Chamaeleo Tail Loop, and 5 loops. Loop 1 is JHS Twin Twelve, loop 2 is Boss OC-3 octave pedal, and the other three pedals are delays.
At 13:43 in this Rig Rundown, Roy's Hardwire RV-7 is seen after the DE7 in his chain.

Premier Guitar, August 17, 2016, "Rig Rundown: Mutemath"
“Amps?! We don’t need no stinking amps,” might be Roy’s calling card as he travels without a guitar or bass amp. He plugs straight into his board by way of the JHS Colour Box that gives the band’s FOH engineer a pure, clean signal. Other noisemakers include a Boss OC-3 Super Octave, a JHS Twin Twelve, a JHS Morning Glory, a JHS Mini Foot Fuzz, a Boss DD-7 Digital Delay rehoused in a custom-painted JHS enclosure, an Ibanez ToneLok DE7 Delay/Echo, a TC Electronic Flashback X4 Delay, and a DigiTech HardWire RV-7 Stereo Reverb. To switch between bass and guitar he employs a JHS Mini A/B box and powers his stomps with a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus.
