Roland
VG-88 Roland Virtual Guitar system is a complex multi-effect pedal. The VG-88 uses advanced COSM® technology to "model" the most popular guitars and amplifiers in history, as well as produce some very unique "guitar-meets-synth" sounds. Matt uses it with the GK2A midi pick-up and with an EV-5 Expression pedal. |

Boss
overdrive distorsion With such a pedal, Matt can choose overdrive or distortion, or combine both. This integration gives him more options than using serially connected units, and provides a hard distortion while still maintaining the nuances of single-coil pickups. |

Electro
harmonix micro synthesizer This pedal allows Matt to produce vintage analog synthesizer sounds such as those generated by the early, great Moog(TM) synthesizers. Four completely independent and fully mixable voices-guitar, octave above, sub-octave, and square wave (or distortion) are modified by the resonance, start frequency, stop frequency, and rate controls of the filter sweep section to create the classic analog synthesizer sounds. |
||

DOD
FX40B Equalizer This pedal is actually a seven band EQ with one band for every octave, 12 dB of boost or cut for every band, and a slide pot for controlling the overall level. |
||

Boss
CS-3 Compression Sustainer The CS-3 compresses high-input signals while boosting low-input signals, giving smooth sustain without degrading the quality of the original sound. A range of effects from gentle compression to squeezed sounds is possible. The CS-3 also provides EQ for precise sonic control. |

Boss
SYB3 Bass Synthesizer Compact Bass Effect Pedal It is actually a bass pedal, used for modelling synth bass sounds. This pedal can turn any electric bass guitar into a dance, techno, hip-hop, funk or R&B machine. |

Boss
Octaver Three separate tones are reproduced by the OC-2—the original tone, a second tone one octave below the original, and a third tone two octaves below the original. With just a single guitar, you can obtain sounds three octaves thick, and each part has a separate volume control. The OC-2 features natural, clear octave sounds with stable pitch even for staccato picking sounds. |
