Pedalboards of the Stars ~ Super Awesome ILF Version

[sylnau]

Looks like the new Empress fuzz.

[Casavettes]

ah right. thatsa nice board

[talkinghorse]

Omar Rodriguez' Board:

anyone know what the white pedal bottom left is? this is way different to the last time i saw his board but i guess you expect that from omar

[Gutmann]

looks like a Catalinbread Semaphore Tap Tremolo

[goroth]

Hehe, looks like Omar Rodriguez sold his Boss and EHX and bought some "pedal cred". Haha.

Sept 2011:

[D.o.S.]

wtf, a ds-1 on bass?

Unless something's changed, that's effectively his second channel--he runs it into a Plexi/similar tube guitar head with everything at eleven, while keeping the bass heads on seriously bass heavy settings. That way when he drops the 250 on your face like a mega-massive lightning bolt it doesn't completely suck out the low end of the Ampegs/etc and you get phenomenal amounts of SCREEEE-DOOOOOOOOOOOOM! from the whole rig.

I just can't believe there's a good picture of his board for once.

Also yes, it's a second channel. He seems to go out of the tuner into the morley AB/Y, which is splitting it into POG2->DS1 on one channel and the OD250 on the other.

Sept 2011:

He must have gotten so much shit for that video that he went the other way again...

[skullservant]

I could TOTALLY understand touring musicians who don't have techs to do their switching for them using cheaper pedals to tour with rather than more expensive or less accessable pedals that they wouldn't be able to pick up at say a Guitar Center in between dates.

I'm fairly certain that Omar does not give one fuck about what people think of his gear.

I'm fairly certain that I do not give one fuck about Omar or his gear.

It's just funny 'sall...

[greyscales]

I'm fairly certain that Omar does not give one fuck about what people think of his gear.

Gotta agree with this. In every interview I've seen of him, he doesn't seem to put too much emphasis on the actual gear but how he uses it. I think he put a lot of people to shame using an M9 rather than lugging around a bunch of vintage effects. If you can do the same with less, why not?

That's what I mean - I think it's odd after all this that he's now rocking an almost 100% "boutique" board

[greyscales]

I think it's less of the boutique part and more of the tweaker part. It's hard to change settings on those things on the fly. Plus it looks like he went for effects that have a large range of control. It isn't like he got a boutique tubescreamer.
EQD, Blackout Effectors, Catalinbread, and Empress are doing some truly interesting things with their pedals. Makes sense considering it is ORL.

[theavondon]

And, he's fucking crazy, and has always had different shit. Past boards include:


that one's deloused era.
