Wayne Sermon's Gear
Wayne says: "They put a Z.Vex Fuzz Factory inside the guitar."
I'm also sat with his guitar tech right now and he confirmed this and if you listen to the last album you can hear this pedal in some of the tracks if you know how it sounds. (According to Shane).
In a photo of Wayne Sermon's rig from a Melbourne show, the Pete Cornish SS-3 v1 is prominently featured as the "Pedal du Jour."
The touring crew of the SMoke & Mirrors tour went on the Maton Factory Tour and found some Maton custom 0.9mm picks that are the same style that Wayne uses (with the textured grip). Wayne plays these picks on and off, in the picture you can see him with the green picks in his mic stand pick holder.

I had the chance to buy a CS-80 a while back for a great price. And I didn’t pull the trigger, and I regret it so much. Now, they’ve doubled in price. It’s just the coolest, most expressive, most impractically designed instrument ever conceived. I do have the little brother, the CS-60 which is probably better than I deserve anyway. So I’m happy.
