Russell Marsden's Effects Pedals
For Marsden, his desert-island effect has to be an Ernie Ball VP Jr Volume Pedal because he says it’s the most expressive tool under his control. When it comes to actual noisemakers on his board, he has a Fulltone OCD, an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff, Electro-Harmonix POG2, a Strymon El Capistan, a Boss DD-7 Digital Delay, an Electro-Harmonix Bass Soul Food that he sniped from bandmate Emma Richardson, an EHX Cathedral, and a Danelectro Reel Echo. Everything is controlled by GigRig QuarterMaster QMX8 switcher and it all stays in tune thanks to a Boss TU-3 Tuner.
This close up shot of Russell's board shows a Electro-Harmonix XO Holy Grail Plus Variable Reverb Guitar Effects Pedal. This board can be confirmed as Russell's in this overhead shot where the same pedal layout can be seen.
Russell looks to have switched up hid pedalboard a bit in this image where we can see a ProCo Turbo Rat was added. Confirmation of this being Russell's board can be seen in this image where the same basic layout and some of the same pedals already confirmed on his Pro Page can be seen.
In this Rig Rundown video from Premier Guitar, at 18:55, Russel Marsden mentions that he previously had a Memory Toy on his pedalboard.
In this overhead shot of Russell's board (and confirmed by this close up shot) we can see the Danelectro Reel Echo Tape Simulator.
