Tony Banks' Effects Pedals
Same lo-res pic as used elsewhere I know, (but it's all here!). The distinctive orange bodywork of the MXR Phaser is quite clear next to the Boss CE-1 on top of the Roland RE-201 (top right of pic). The MXR Phase 100 was often used to modify the sound of both the Hammond organ and the RMI piano
This photo is from the progressive rock band Genesis in their Selling England Tour, March 1974. In the photo we can see that Tony taped a Fender Blender into his RMI Electra Piano.
Sorry for the lo-res pic, but the Boss CE-1 is on top of the Roland RE-201 (the one atop the mixer). Tony would often run the Hammond thru this or an MXR Phaser (also visible next to the Boss pedal) or both. Initially used as a replacement for a Leslie speaker, it actually gave Banks his quite distinctive chorused-organ sound (think "Robbery, Assault, and Battery" or "Afterglow")
If you look at 1:03 you will see the tuner sitting on top of Tony's ARP Quadra. This was tuner was primarily used used for tuning the Quadra as it would constantly drift.
@1:01 Two were used for his Arp Quadra and for his Prophet-10
@5:21 under Tony's mixer.
In the Instagram post, Tony Banks can be seen with an MXR MX-101 Phase 90 (Vintage - Script Logo) taped to the front of his RMI, next to the Fender Blender; only the top half of the pedal is visible. Later, he had a Phase 100 and the Fender Blender built into the RMI.
