Conor only uses a few stompboxes for his core live tone—a Boss TU-3 Tuner, ZVEX Box of Rock, EarthQuaker Devices Monarch and Organizer, and a disengaged Ibanez AD9 Analog Delay. His main dirtbox is the ZVEX Box of Rock, the Organizer is used for one part in a song during the set, and the Monarch is another drive, specifically-EQ’d for when he plays the baritones. Everything on the board is powered by a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus power supply.

McGregor Pedals Classic Fuzz Review

McGregor Pedals Classic Fuzz Review

Compared to the dynamic germanium Fuzz Face, silicon versions sometimes come off as brutish. And even though they can be sonorously vicious, if dirty-to-clean range and sensitivity to guitar volume attenuation are top priorities, germanium is probably the way to go. The McGregor Classic Fuzz, however, offers ample reminders about the many ways silicon Fuzz Faces can be beastly, sensitive, and sound supreme.

Check Out These Weird, Wild New Pedals—from the Philly Pedal Party

On this showcase pedalboard, Philadelphia’s Mountain King Electronics displayed the crushing fuzz of their Megalith, the bass-focused boost and overdrive of their Behemoth II, a truly psychedelic sonic journey via their Frequency-LSD, and much more at the 2024 Philly Pedal Party.
