Yannis Philippakis

This Instagram photo posted by Yannis in November 2013 shows one of the pedals he uses is the Boss RC-20XL Loop Station. The photo is captioned, "Keepin' the blues at bay." Armed with the loop station and the Alesis SR-16 Drum Machine (also pictured), as well as a green semi-hollow guitar, headphones, and a mic, it appears Yannis is doing some solo work, writing and recording riffs, or just jamming out by himself.

In this photo, Yannis Philipapkis' pedals can be seen, and the top of the Strymon TimeLine can be seen. From the original article:

"The Foals have added Strymon units to their touring pedal boards. Both guitarists (Jimmy Smith and Yannis Philipapkis) now have Timeline's in their armoury…

"I really can't say enough good things about the timelines. They’ve replaced every other delay on both the guitarsts’ boards! Amazing."

(Reuben Gotto - Tech Manager)"

“For me, I really like the Audio Kitchen Big Trees pedal for overdrive,” adds Yannis. “I use that both live and in the studio, just to have that natural drive. And I also just like to crank preamps up into the mixing desk. I used the Chandler Germanium Pre Amp and we were just cranking that until it broke up.

Chief workhorses in the effects pedal department included Audio Kitchen's The Big Trees valve preamp; OTO's BIM 12-bit delay unit, BAM Space Generator and BOUM Warming Unit; along with a Klon KTR Centaur overdrive, MWFX's Judder analogue sampler/repeater; and Hologram's Dream Sequence pitch-shifter/sequencer. In addition there was also much use of a Maestro Echoplex and Roland Space Echo for delay, and the Eventide H3000 Harmonizer.

In this photo taken from an Austin City Limits taping of Foals, Yannis Philippakis' pedalboard can be seen in the bottom-right corner. The writing on the back of it indicates it's a Pedaltrain Pro pedalboard, whose frame measures 32 x 16 x 3.5 inches. The Pedaltrain Pro has been discontinued in favor of the Pedaltrain Classic Pro.

Foals did a rig run down for their tiktok showing Yannis and Jimmy's pedal boards. Yannis describes the AC Booster as "[the ac booster] is just like a booster pedal, it ups the crank"

In this Instagram video, visible on Yannis' board is a MXR Phase 90. Although he does not talk about it in the clip, the pedal size, single dial and block lettering suggests it is the phase 90 and not one of the other versions.
