The pink one is an Ibanez AD-80 analog delay (awesome delay) and not sure about the other one.

 

yep, thet's the one i meant, with the flat square button

the green one is too small to be a dl-4 and it would seem to be one he would want to fiddle with (he's getting old, no more kneeling down :D)

Here's what he was using in 2006:

 

# DOD 2-Second Delay

# Klon Centaur

# Hughes & Kettner Tube Factor

# Ibanez AD-80 Analog Delay

# MXR Blue Box

# Danelectro Wasabi

# Custom "Honey Bee"

# Electro-Harmonix Microsynth

# Ernie Ball Expression Pedal (for Moogerfooger)

# Moogerfooger Ring Modulator

 

 

For the new album I think they're using a few new things, so their boards have probably changed a bit. I'm sure we'll know more pretty soon.

 

 

No pedal in the world is going to make you sound like Lee Ranaldo though.

watching the extended edition of Later and Thurston was playing his signature model prototype, that thing is extremely worn in for a guitar that's less than 9 months old (see this thread), loads of pick marks above the pickguard and sharpie writing on the upper horn :)

lee was playing a white jazzblaster.

Towards the end of the set when I watched them last, Lee pulled out his guitar lead and plugged into some sort of handheld box. It sounded fairly synth-like. Perhaps just some kind of boutique oscillating noise maker...

 

I was just wondering if anyone else had seen them live recently and spotted this? Any ideas on what it is?
