Yesterday, I featured Juan Alderete’s pedal board of The Mars Volta, so today I needed to follow up with Omar Rodriguez-Lopez. I have to admit, I didn’t know much about The Mars Volta, but after doing some research and listening/watching stuff, it really appears that he’s stripped down his rig from years past. Premiere Guitar got with The Mars Volta while they were touring with Sound Garden to discuss the rig.
Below is the break down of all the pedals shown on the board. I’m sure the Line 6 M9 helped him get things more compact.
Line 6 DL 4 Delay Modeler
MXR M133 Micro Amp
Ibanez TC7 Tri-Mode Chorus
Line 6 M9 Stompbox Modeler
Ibanez WH10V2 Wah
Boss HR-2 Harmonist
EHX Memory Boy
MXR M101 Phase 90
Boss DD-5 Digital Delay
