Teppei Teranishi's Effects Pedals
Filter by
“I actually never liked choruses ever, but we ended up using quite a bit on this last record and it just worked, so I was like, ‘I guess I need a chorus pedal now!’ So Dustin was like, ‘Try this one!’ and I really like it; it’s beautiful-sounding. It’s got the chorus and the vibrato, and then you can actually blend in between, so I think it’s the vibrato that’s winning me over – I’ve always thought vibrato’s really musical and pretty.”
“There’s three different presets that you can do with that, so I just have a basic hall-type setting, one that’s a little more spring-sounding, and then one that’s the shimmer octave setting. There was this pedal that we used to use called the [Boss] PS-3 Pitch-Shifter/Delay – the Cave In pedal was what we called it. And so that has that vibe, and we use that on quite a bit of stuff. So, I’m using the shimmer setting as my PS-3-ish thing.”
“That’s my analogue delay, which has got tap tempo. It’s cool – it’s got the different subdivisions, but I just keep it on one. That’s my only delay.”
In an interview with MusicRadar, Teppei Teranishi of Thrice discusses his pedalboard setup, mentioning the JHS Double Barrel as a key component of his distortion and overdrive sound.
In this video around 2:30, Teppei on using the Line 6 M13: “I pretty much only use maybe some reverb and delay here and there. Possibly like some really, really minimal amount of compression if I want a little boost, but really minimal.”

“I run it real light, always. It just adds a little mojo.”
“I basically have all the wet stuff running in one loop, so I can turn that on and off. And then I’ll turn little things on or off for different songs – maybe one needs chorus, one needs delay, one needs reverb, so I’ll just turn those on and off.”

“That’s my, ‘I need this one random thing for this one part in this one song’ pedal. There’s a couple of things that need that for whatever reason, like the parked wah: there’s a riff in The Artist In The Ambulance that just doesn’t work without that effect. And the Whammy-like pitch-shifter pedal thing for the end of For Miles.”

In a MusicRadar article by Michael Astley-Brown, Teppei Teranishi of Thrice describes his use of the Saturnworks Volume Pedal - Deluxe. He explains that while Dustin runs his amp halfway, Teppei opts to run his amp super-hot, utilizing the volume pedal to clean up his tone when needed. This approach leverages the Vox amp's sensitivity to signal changes, allowing for dynamic control during performances.

“That’s just a basic tremolo, so actually I’m not using it at all on this tour. There’s just a couple of songs where I would use it on, Come All You Weary being one of them.”

If I really want a boost, I’ll use a distortion pedal but very minimal on this as well. I’ve got a Tubescreamer clone that I built from General Guitar Gadgets that I really like. That’s it.

“That one is controlling the Descent. That’s just if I want more tail on the reverb.”
