i play guitar and am obsessing over what effects/modelers/techniques these guys use, im gonna die if i dont find out. it seems they dont want us to know cuz its so darn hard to find there setups

You could always just go to a Circa show and try to get a look. When they did the in-store at Siren Records, I checked out their pedals before the show. I couldn't tell you exactly what they all were, and I know that they didn't have their full set-up with them. I know they use many delay pedals. I'm certain they use Line 6 DL4s. That was also the pedal Colin recommended to me the first time I spoke with him in 2005.

i havent seen them down here in death town (miami) in a while, i know they use tons of stuff but im havin a hard time finding the rest of the stuff i dont know about. they definately use the dl4, i just recently bought a boss dd20 giga delay for my own setup and its awsome, but  im really interested in how they get those "watery" tones, is it just well placed chorus/flangers?

I want to know how they get that awesome clean tone in "House of Leaves."

I searched over at the remanants of the old site and found many invisible threads on this topic.

Mind you, This list is from before "Juturna" was even released

Brendan:

brian moore i2
soldano decatone
mesa rectifier 4x12 cab

boss tu-2 (tuner)
boss tr-2 (tremolo)
boss ps-3 (pitch shifter)
barber tone press
boss rv-5 (reverb)
ibanez ts9
line 6 dl4


Colin:

fender american tele
marshall jcm 200 dsl
marshall 1960A angled cab

line 6 dl4
line 6 mm4
boss tu-2
electro harmonix holy grail reverb

this first pic shows Brenden's pedals - Mid-May 2005


the next pic shows Colin's pedals Late July 2006


I'm sure there have been some renovations in this department.
Once they're done with warped and play low stages again you could get up front and find out
or simply ask them at warped.

anyone know what chorus they are using?

correct me if im wrong, but doesnt brendan play PRS guitars? im pretty positive he is playing one in the act appauled video, but then again i could be wrong. but it definetly wasnt a les paul body style guitar (like the bmi2 that was listed).


either way that is pretty neat that they had their set-up posted, regardless of its current or not.

I'm trying to build up a decent pedal board and I have been looking at some of my favorite guitarists's pedal boards but I haven't found any recent Circa Survive pedalboard pictures. Does anyone have any pics of their pedalboards lately? Maybe something from last winter's headlining tour? That would be awesome.

Looking for these too. I have the Boss TU-2 Tuner, A Crybaby, and will buy soon a holy grail reverb and a delay but not sure which one, im between the Boss Digital Delay and the Line 6 Dl4.

I just bought a DD-6 off ebay for about $120 and it is in perfect condition. Playing around with the oscillation and the reverse mode are really fun.

If you could get a list of pedals that he and Colin use that would be amazing.

he hasn't gotten back to me yet

[wcwakeskater]

I assume after they get off tour he'll have a little more time to answer stuff. I'm in no rush.
