[Just...Radiohead] Fan Club @ RHG @ Jonny's Effects

Jonny Greenwood

GUITAR EFFECTS

Jonny’s effects have remained almost the same since OK Computer.
His pedals are found on two flightcases and powered by Voodoo Lab Power Pedal units.

Digitech Whammy WH1 Demeter Tremulator
	A famous pitch-shifter used by Jonny for My Iron Lung, Just, Subterranean Homesick Alien and to achieve weird noises like in The Bends and Airbag.
	Jonny's obscure tremolo pedal was supposed to be homemade but it's probably a prototype of a Tremulator or a normal one with a few modifications.
Dod 440 Envelope Filter Electro-Harmonix Small Stone
	The green version of this discontinued envelope filter is used on Lucky, Subterranean Homesick Alien and Paranoid Android.
	A famous phase-shifter pedal. Jonny’s version is the second issue of the original Small Stone. Used mainly on Fake Plastic Trees and Paranoid Android.
Akai E1 Headrush Boss SD1 Super Overdrive
	Adopted by Jonny since the Iberian Tour. Its use is not very spread, it could be used as a loop recorder or as a back-up for the RE-201.
	Used by Jonny for crunchy tones in songs like Lucky, The Tourist and I Might Be Wrong. It’s probably also used to achieve high-volume related noises like those in Morning Bell.

Boss RV3 Digital Reverb/Delay Boss LS2 Line Selector
	Used by Jonny for reverb and simple delay.
	Used to divide the signal.
Boss FV300H Volume Pedal Marshall Shredmaster
	Used as a gain controller for the Shredmaster.
	Produced in the early 90s, it’s always been used for the most distorted tracks. Jonny’s one has been probably modified by Plank to achieve more gain.
Roland Space Echo RE-201
A vintage tape machine for delay and reverb effects. Used very often by Jonny to create heavy echo effects with flutter and modulation on a variety of songs like Subterranean Homesick Alien, Airbag, Exit Music (for a film), In Limbo and Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box. The Space Echo, since it’s not a pedal, gets turned on and off using a Vox Silver Egg footswitch similar to the one pictured.

Mutronics Mutator
An envelope filter rack unit issued in 1996. Jonny used it to record the 4th movement of Paranoid Android: he recorded the solo dry then he ran it in the Mutator twice while playing with the settings. The Mutator has never been used live since Jonny uses his DOD 440.

KEYBOARDS & SYNTHS EFFECTS
Jonny uses effects also on his keyboards and synths. They're placed on a board below the racks where the keyboards are.

Akai E1 Headrush Delay Boss RV3 Digital Reverb/Delay
	A delay machine used probably to give more sustain or to double notes of the French Connection and to sample and playback the riff that is repeated over and over at the end of How to Disappear Completely when the band leaves the stage.
	Probably used to add reverb.

Electro Harmonix Small Stone Boss FV 300L Volume Pedal
	Used on the sampled sounds for Talk Show Host. During the outro of the song Jonny continously turns the rate knob to get those weird sounds out of the keyboards.
	Used to regulate the volume of the output. Since it's placed (arguably) before effects it could be either a FV 300H.

Boss LS2 Line Selector Boss FS 5U Momentary Footswitch
	Used to engage keyboards.
	Used by Jonny to sustain notes from the midi controller.
