Check out his site, just do a search for Mahogany Rush and you should be able to find it. I know, in general, he uses delay, phase, Uni-Vibe, etc...but he also has built and designed his own effects, so duplicating his tone (or more like tones) exactly may be tough. He also splits the coils on his pick ups to get some Strat like tones out of his SG.

 

BTW, which album did you download? I pretty much have all his stuff and I can say that his newest live cd Real Live is amazing stuff.

To the left is a custom modded Octron with a three switch pedal attached, the idea behind the Octron 2 proto

Tony: Can you give us a pedalboard rundown of what you used back in the day? Now remember we are all gear-tech heads here, use as much space as you need! Guys will eat it up.

 

Frank: Oh, that pedal board was huge! 6 Feet long, 3 feet deep, and two tiers high at one end. I had over 22 pedals on it. And those were the days of solid analogue stuff... no digital there. That's how I learned electronics... screwing around with that board. You have to understand that, in those days, having the pedals that I had was considered a "bad thing" by almost everybody around me in the business. They used to say, "Oh, he can't play without his pedals", and snicker and stuff like that. But I was pretty insistent that, one day, alot of guitarists would begin to use them. Now, they do... and now I use far less, if any at all (although they're on the board, I don't always turn them on). Isn't that ironic? Anyway, I had a Vox wah wah, a Cry Baby wah wah, two or three different fuzz boxes (Electro Harmonix, Fuzz Face, etc., but all modified... nothing stock). I had Octave Dividers (2), Volume Pedals (2), Echo Plexes (2), Eventide Flangers and Eventide Phasers, Reverb units (even a spring!)... it just kept changing and getting bigger and bigger.
