"we used an Ampeg Scrambler and a Roland Funny Cat, which is like taking a compressor, an early fuzz box and an auto wah…well it’s just like its name, Funny Cat. We use it quite a bit on the record. When you think you hear a wah-wah, it’s really just the Funny Cat. "

Drozd: I love to use the Z.Vex Fuzz Factory, because that pedal is insane. It makes the same crazy fuzz sound regardless of the guitar and amplifier. It just takes over whatever you are doing.

I definitely used that Systech Harmonic Energizer just because it has that tone from a lot of Frank Zappa’s trippy, psychedelic solos. It’s basically this overdrive fuzz with a super-duper-filter-tweaker kind of control that gives you all sorts of grit but also a wah-wah tone, too. Also, we used an Ampeg Scrambler and a Roland Funny Cat, which is like taking a compressor, an early fuzz box and an auto wah…well it’s just like its name, Funny Cat. We use it quite a bit on the record. When you think you hear a wah-wah, it’s really just the Funny Cat.

At 4:43 the DOD 440 Envelope Filter can be clearly seen in the vintage colorscheme.

Drozd states in this interview that he owns a Boss GT-8.
