Effects Bay independently identified the same five units from the Noisey Guitar Moves footage without reference to the builder, though it lists the two fuzzes in the opposite order; the builder's sequence is followed here. The RJM Mini Effect Gizmo loop switcher, RJM MasterMind controller, Korg Pitchblack tuner, Moog expression pedal and Voodoo Lab supply are omitted as routing, control and utility devices. Observers report the Death By Audio unit may be the discontinued Supreme variant. ## Questions ### What pedals did St. Vincent use in 2013?
