Peter Adams (Baroness)
"Peter Adams prefers what he calls рbasic pedalsс that can be easily replaced to get the bandуs heavy sludge metal tones. He uses an MXR Phase 100, Boss CE-6 Chorus Ensemble, Boss DD-3 Digital Delay, Ernie Ball Volume Pedal, Boss TU-2 Tuner, and Fulltone OCD. He used this board on the bandуs spring 2010 tour with Mastodon in support of Baronessу ""Blue Record."""
