So I’ve been listening to Them Crooked Vultures, and was curious what Josh Homme has been riding with as far as gear lately. I’ve seen a few shots of pedals for his Queens of the Stoneage setup, but I wanted to see something new. I stumbled across a few pics and I’ll try to break a few the pedals down. If you see anything missing and know what it is.. please let me know. Likewise, if you see something wrong, let me know as well. These photos were originally posted by niceguyollie at the HC forums.
On pedalboard #1 shot, it looks like a old Morley Fuzz Wah, a newer Fulltone FatBoost FB-3, Fulltone Ultimate Octave, Electro-Harmonix Micro POG, Electro-Harmonix Multiplexer and older Dunlop Crybaby QZ-1 Q-Zone.
Pedalboard #2 we have Moog Moogerfooger MF-104Z Analog Delay, Moog Moogerfooger MF-101 Low Pass Envelope Filter, older Echodrive (w/o bypass switch), Boss RE-20 Space Echo Delay, Ernie Ball Volume Pedal and a old original Univox Super Fuzz – probably from the early 1970s. Not sure about the black box next to the super fuzz.
Lastly, Josh has a couple more pedals on top of his amp set up:
Looks like a older Fulltone FatBoost v-1 a Boss GE-7 Equalizer with a slight mid notch boost. I’ll include the shot of his amps.. thought those were interesting. Not sure, but I’m guessing he’s switching or adding a amp with the Fat Boost and mid boost for leads, etc.
Anyway.. thought it was pretty interesting! Hope you enjoyed the post!

Random black box on pedalboard #2 is an ABY switch? Hence the two amps. Just a thought.

the right-hand moog looks more like the MF-101 low pass filter. the phaser has knobs for drive and output level whereas the one in this picture only has a drive knob ala low pass. plus, you can vaguely see the knob labeled “filter” in the upper right corner while the corresponding knob on the phaser is labeled “amount”

These photos are awesome. Thanks for posting them. One correction though, the second Moogfooger pedal isn’t a MF-103 Phaser its actually a MF 101, Low Pass filter. I have the same pedal on my board and it looks distinctively different from the MF-103.
