I know there has been a ton of speculation on here for ages regarding Guy's effects set up. I finally found good pics:

 

Rack:

why 2 times the SAME floor-controller? backup?

and what's a BF2 ?

"why 2 times the SAME floor-controller? backup?"

 

I would assume so. When You look at live footage it seems like his floorboard is about the size of 1 of those units.

Wow thanks ALOT!! Now I can find out what exact effects he use in the songs :D

"Indeed! Like he asked?"

 

from the Mike Hill Services Website. (you can also find good pics of Chris and Jonny's rigs there as well

Wow, I never knew Mike's site existed, I believe someone was asking about it a while back and no link could be found. Well it definately puts a few things into place about Jonny's setup that's for sure :). Thanks for the link

Maybe backup, and also maybe so a member of the crew can do the switching for him when hes on the b-stage?

I'll admit I'm not an expert on Bass stuff, but I can't for the life of me hear most of those effects on any of Guy's live Bass parts. can anyone shed some light on when things like the Whammy and/or Flanger are used?

I have to check it out.

 

I know a effect for sure for some songs.

For the bassless parts in most songs he is using the effect called 'mute'. :laugh3:

he definitely uses effects on daylight and gpasuyf i cant hear anything else on any other songs, it'd be interesting to find out

gpasuyf and Daylight are both clean bass...

 

Most effects are used on X&Y and VLV.

 

The effects used:

MUTE = No sound

RV5 = Boss Reverb

BF2 = Boss Flanger

WHAM = Digitech Whammy(probably)

MXR = Chorus(probably)

RAT = Distortion

PEDAL = Volume or Wah, probably volume.

sometimes live he uses a cool sort of overdrive sound

I think rv-5 is used for vlv

MXR is the phase 90 i believe

I've checken the photos of the rack, there are pedals in there and compared but I think it's the Chorus!

I think rv-5 is used for vlv

I think in VLV the RV5 and MXR and a little bit RAT.
