I know he plays a JCM800, and those are generally one-channel(I'm assuming his is). So what pedal emits the distorted brutality coming from that amp? I liked the tone live, but I didnt take a peek at whatever his feet were touching. Can anyone help me?
What pedals be Toby using?

I guess maybe he changed his setup since I was in the band, but I believe that is all amp distortion, and it is a dual-channel amp. Again, might be different now...

last i talked to greg, it's all amp distortion which is then sent through rack mounted effects processors to get the necessary delay and whichever other effects.

this makes it look like he's got all his effects in a rack, and although i have no pics of said rack, i'm sure it's quite nice.

When he was doing the solo thing he was belting out some pretty impressive stuff out of that smallish fender amp he was carrying around. All his effects are racked as far as I know.
I'm just more concerned with where that distorted tone is coming from, considering most JCM800s are one channel amps. That's all

I am pretty sure that is a 2-Channel 800, if it's the same one I was using in maudlin of the Well.

Remember kids, distorted signal needs equalizer shaping! Almost any sort of distortion can sound right for the material if the right frequences are leveled in the right way! Massive distortion sound in recordings is more the product of hard panning and layering of guitars, along with a healthy bass guitar mix, than they are because an amp or distortion combo 'sounds awesome'!

my jcm800 is 2-channel, but i only use the distorted channel because it sounds the best- then i use overdrive pedals for anything nasty

I'm aware of this. But I was more taken by his tone when I heard them live. And since it was a pretty small venue, and the amps werent mic'd, and it was on the floor and stuff, I'm pretty sure I got to hear the amp in it's real glory!
EDIT: I did a little research, and did find out about the JCM 800. The 2205 and the 2210 models have 2 channels for ultimate destruction!

i just meant his jcm was to the right of him and there's a rack unit under it. i don't think that's john's amp, anyway.
