Effects
1). Roland (BOSS) DS-1 Distortion pedal (9) - Kurt always referred to these as “Roland” pedals, rather than BOSS. Seen throughout “Bleach” and “Nevermind”-eras. The settings on this were about the same as on his DS-2 (see #2 directly under this). Used until February 1992 when it was replaced with:

2). Roland (BOSS) DS-2 Turbo Distortion pedal (19)(20). Used on “Unplugged” (“Unplugged” 21) and the “Nevermind” tour. This pedal was first used in February of 1992 (57). Kurt's settings are as follows. Level: all the way up, tone: at about 11 to1 o'clock (usually at 11), distortion: usually all the way up but occasionally came down to about 1 or 2 o'clock in the studio, and the last knob was set to position one, the non-turbo setting (59). Eventually it was probably only used on “The Man Who Sold the World” live.

3). “Roland EF-1 distortion” (a transcription error for the DS-1 (56)), “I go through about five a tour…” (22).
4). Tech 21 Classic SansAmp amp-simulator box (seen 7). This was Kurt's MAIN distortion during the “In Utero” tour, despite popular beliefs and was used throughout the entire tour. Pat also had a SansAmp but preferred his Rat. His settings on the DIP switches were as follows, from left to right: three-up, three down (Jim said he remembered it's settings as “Three-up, three-down”(40)), two-up, and all of the knobs were turned all the way up except for the high control which was at about 12 o'clock. Jim doesn't recall where the SansAmp's three-position selector switch's setting was, but thinks it was the Normal (center) setting (57). This pedal was certainly NOT used on Nevermind, like some magazines claim (59).

5), Electro-Harmonix Small Clone Chorus, purchased sometime in 1990 from Guitar Maniacs. This pedal was used extensively throughout a good portion of Kurt's career and was one of his favorites until his death (57). It is visible in most any concert footage (including “Unplugged” it looks like, (“Unplugged” 21)) which catches a glimpse of the floor by Kurt's feet. Two of the best pictures of it I've come across is the insert in the In Utero cd. It's visible on the black-and-white side under the track listing “6 Dumb 2:29” (“In Utero” 8) and also in a huge picture in “Circus” magazine (39). Kurt used many rate and color settings in the Small Clone; some light for rhythm and others more obvious (57).

6). Despite beliefs, Kurt never used a Electro-Harmonix Small Stone phase shifter pedal (56).
7). Unknown MXR pedal seen live possibly. Possibly the above? (10)(seen 15). May also be:
8). Orange MXR Phase 100 which was used for “Curmudgeon” (available on several bootlegs, etc.). This was owned by Kurt (59). An MXR pedal has been said to be seen in photos from a bootleg cd. It had 2 knobs. Also visable in the picture is said to be the Arion stage tunerPictures may be from a studio recording or live (15).

9). DOD Grunge pedal. This was just a joke (40). At one show, it was thrown into the crowd! (10). Jim Vincent supports this– although he says it wasn't “thrown,” persay (40).

10). Supposedly a Dunlop Rotovibe (26)(10) but I seriously doubt he ever did use one. Someone told me they saw Kurt use one at a show, but I can't verify it by any means. Supposedly, the only time Kurt ever “used” rotovibe was from January 28-30 of 1994 at Bob Lang's North Seattle studio when Kurt forgot his pedals and a pedalboard of Earnie's. The rotovibe in the pedalboard was not used, though. The effects it had were: a Boss flanger, a Boss vibrato, a Boss delay, a rotovibe, and an Ibanez Supermetal. Kurt recorded one song, “You Got No Right” (“On the Mountain”)(on bootlegs, etc.) where the Ibanez Supermetal and maybe the Boss flanger were used (41)(57). (Jim Vincent didn't know if Kurt ever used rotovibe (40)).
11). Electro-Harmonix EchoFlangers (32)(40) and PolyChorus (37)(seen 15). He supposedly only had one EchoFlanger, despite what is said in (32). Kurt used the EchoFlanger on the Brazil shows (source info? Rio perhaps?) and the song “The Priest They Called Him” (found on various bootlegs, etc.). Both pedals were taken on the “In Utero” tour. The EchoFlanger “acted up” sometimes and Earnie gave Kurt his PolyChorus as a back-up. This PolyChorus was used on “In Utero” for the “Heart-Shaped Box” solo, “Radio Friendly Unit Shifter,” and “Scentless Apprentice” (41). Earnie sent out another PolyChorus to Kurt, hoping to get his back, but the “new” one broke and was given to Eric Erlanderson of “Hole” who had it fixed. Earnie did eventually get his PolyChorus back, but not before Kurt marked his settings on it with nail polish and put Velcro on it. The EchoFlanger was supposed to be used on “Unplugged” (“Unplugged” 21) but caused too much 60-cycle hum in the control room because it is an AC unit. What he would have used it on, I don't know. Possibly a normal, chorus-sound for “Come As You Are.” Courtney now has Kurt's EF (40).

Just wanted to point out that despite the different names, PolyChoruses and EchoFlangers all have the same internal circuitry and somewhat similar casings.
12). ProCo Rat. See “Recording of ‘Nevermind’” for more details.
13). Electro-Harmonix Big Muff. See “Recording of ‘Nevermind’” for more details.
14). Univox Superfuzz. Kurt had it before “Bleach” (“Bleach” 34) but it was stolen from the band's practice space. Earnie built him a handwired duplicate in a silver, metal box on which he humorously labeled it “Yung-Mann Fuzz” (41).
15). Electro-Harmonix Clone Theory, an AC unit which Kurt didn't like as much as the Small Clone and broke it (41).
16). Supposedly a Vox Tone Bender Fuzz, two of them actually, hooked up next to each other. Apparently, these two pedals are on a poster of Kurt from around the “In Utero” tour where Kurt is using his sonic blue Mustang; kneeling down pressing one of the pedals on. The name (Vox Tone Bender Fuzz) is supposedly visable on the boxes (10). Nobody who knew Kurt's gear remember Kurt using this, though (56) and Earnie suspects the photo was altered (59).
17). Unknown wah-wah pedal on “Bleach” (“Bleach” 34).
In the “Bleach/Nevermind” days, Kurt's effects were normally as follows (from Kurt's point of view looking down, right to left): DS-1 (DS-2), Small Clone chorus.

Later it would be the DS-2, SansAmp, Polychorus, Small Clone, for example. The Grunge would be between the DS-2 and the Sansamp. Again, if other pedals were ever used, I don't know where their positions would have been if they were even actually used.
ég er að spá í hvernig effectar eru bestir, og hvernig effecta hugarar nota… ég spila sjálfur ekki mikið á gítar, en smá. og þeir sem vita mest geta jafnvel mælt með eikkerjum.
