I've been waiting for this! Thanks a lot mare!

Looks like Sawao really took pedals seriously this time. And look at manabe; he so ditched all his old boss pedals (not all of them) for some mxr and other stuff. Pretty awesome.

I was more impressed by Sawao's Orange amp lol.

Orange

Wow, thanks a lot!

A Metal Muff huh?

Yeah, I had been curious as to where his Big Muff went to, I wonder if Jun's using it, hahaha.

Who knows, theres always the chance it's just been put into storage, got traded in for the Metal Muff, or just broke, etcetera etcetera.

My guess is it just joined that other board he has of unused pedals.
I wonder what he likes more about the MM. The EQ maybe?
Glad to see he kept his BD-2. I love that thing. He's got quite an expansive dirt section now, what with a new MXR Distortion and clean boost.

Glad to see Sawao has got some delay now too.
I <3 delay.

Also, apparently Sawao owns a Les Paul that he's used in recording, since he says in some of the song comments that he used "his own Les Paul" for the recording of those particular songs.

Sawao needs a sig Cyclone.

What happened to manabe's 10-band eq AND sawao's 7 band?

To be honest an equalizer isn't necessary, I'm surprised Manabe hadn't been able to find a sweet spot with the Orange. But yeah if you don't always need an equalizer to dial into your tone.

Yeah. I'm selling my EQ soon. The only way I found it suitable was to pair it with the Muff. It gave it a lot more control then the tone knob, it was kind of like an EHX Graphic Fuzz.

Ok, I can see how that makes sense, but that would mean that essentially they would have switched their eq's with those mxr m-133 because the only other thing that the eq provided was boost. Right?

Yeah, but also now that I think about it maybe Manabe really is that satisfied with his new guitar, he did say that the humbuckers were the best he'd ever heard. So it could be possible that he actually meant it over it being simply an endorsement type of thing. Or like I said he probably just found the perfect settings on the Orange's EQ for him.

Well, he brought his GIBSON as his guitar for the American tours, knowing the dangers of getting a guitar broken, so I guess that tells you which he values more.
