On this Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group album I bought (The live one with the all Chinese title) Omar is getting some cool sounds on the first track, it sounds like OverDrive and Wah, almost like an overdriven Electric Mistress sound.

What might he be using to get it?

The specific part I'm referring to is the first section of the first song.

Can you link us to a clip of it?
"Take that fucking sign down." -John Frusciante

"Well, it was put to me by "that guy" when I was, like, four. So I went into my parents' record collection and found a rock'n'roll compilation. And when my mom asked if I wanted to move to L.A., I said, "Yeah," because I knew that was where the rock stars were. I was seven. Then when I found punk and listened to the Germs, I started seeing how I was part of this. I remember being out on the baseball field when I was 11, and I felt like such an outsider. Standing there in right field, I started making up an angry punk song in my head, and I went home and wrote, like, 20 songs in a row. I realized it didn't even matter if I knew how to play guitar yet." -John Frusciante

This is it, but it's a fan video. So it's a little bit harder to hear.

Here's the video for that album. The song is called "Un Buitre Amable Me Pico" and the studio version is off Solar Gambling. Should help with the hearing.

Nice photos Karol. Thanks.

I can't say what he's using to get that sound but on that board from the pictures above he has a Boss PN-2 Tremolo/Pan, Boss DD-5 Delays (could be the other DD's but he's stated the DD-5 was his favorite), Line 6 M9, WMD Geiger Counter, MXR Micro Amp, Ibanez Tone Lok CF7 Chorus/Flanger and a Line 6 DL4 (used for looping).

The board he's using for this current tour has no Boss Trem/Pan, no Geiger Counter, and only one DD-5. He added an EHX Deluxe Memory Man XO, MXR Phase 90, Boss HR-2 Harmonist and a Ibanez WH-10 (version?) to go with the Line 6 M9 and DL 4, Micro Amp and Ibanez CF7.

The Line 6 M9 is a combination of the DL4, MM4, FM 4, DM 4 and Verbzilla plus it has a 28sec looper. It's really cleaned up his board.

I said he uses the Ibanez Tone Lok CF7 Chorus/Flanger, it's actually the Tone Lok TC7 Tri-Mode Chorus.
