Most of Rothchild’s pedalboard is dedicated to switching between his two basses. He’s got a Radial J48 DI, as well as a Radial Big Shot A/B box that’s fed by his P bass, and either his backup bass or a Moog synth (used for Zep’s “No Quarter” and Heart’s “Heaven”). He also has a Custom Audio Electronics Boost/Line Driver to match output between basses, and two tuners—a Boss TU-3 for muting, and a Peterson StroboStomp 2 that remains active while letting signal through. Rothchild also has an Aguilar Octamizer and a Tech 21 VT Bass pedal. Everything’s powered by a Voodoo Lab brick.
