In an interview with Musit, WATCHMAN confirmed that he used the Boss SE-50 multi-effects processor during the early days of his band The Sleepwalk:
"使用機材は姉から譲り受けたYAMAHAのストラトキャスター(型番不明)に、音楽仲間たちから頂いたBOSSやMAXONなどのコンパクトエフェクター群、それと自分の最初期の宅録機材であるROLAND:W-30(シーケンサー/サンプラー/キーボード)、BOSS:SE-50(マルチエフェクター)、TASCAM:PORTASTUDIO 424(4chカセットMTR)を使っていました。歌は当時マイク知識がゼロだったので笑、普通のカラオケ用マイクとリハスタにあったSHUREのSM58か何かで録っていました。

In this interview with Musit, WATCHMAN confirms that he used the MT8X to record "Jet Me!", the bonus track on his album "Dreamechanization" under the Moth-Wish alias:
The Sleepwalkとほぼ被りますが、W-30、SE-50、PORTASTUDIO 424、カラオケマイクですね。特にW-30とSE-50は98年まで使い続けていた初期WATCHMANサウンドの核でした。加えて後述しますが、ボーナストラックの「Jet Me!」ではMTRがYAMAHA:MT8X(8chカセットMTR)にアップグレードしました。
