Does anyone have any decent pictures of Joel's pedal board? I've been searching around for quite some time and still haven't found any - lots of shots of Juanita though, funny that... ;D Any help would be very much appreciated  |

Sorry, no, but it was right in front of me at Manchester and I got a good look at it when the roadies were setting up, so I could describe it to you (but not technically).
I must admit that when the gig got going my attention, like everyone else's, was elsewhere......

Oh aye, the end product is far, far (the fars could carry on forever! ;D) more important than any of this stuff! But as a total and utter gear nerd I can't help but be interested I must admit that when the gig got going my attention, like everyone else's, was elsewhere...... someone's legs? ;D Hahah! ;D |

What you on about? Legs? Whose legs?
Anyway, I'll try and describe the equipment (that's Joel's, not Juanita's) but I don't know the first thing about guitar pedal boards.
He actually had two. One (to his left) was a pedal board, with about four or five pedals. Don't ask me what they all did. To his right was a slightly larger board that comprised several electronic boxes with LEDs (mainly green, I think) and buttons on top, which he pressed and twiddled at various times. Again, don't ask me what for. The Joy Formidable's Ritzy had one of these too.
During the second song (Treasure Hunt) Joel frantically asked the roadie (not the big hairy one, the younger one), "Where's the Ebo?" (I think that's what he called it). The roadie, even more frantically, looked in a metal case in front of me, it wasn't there so he sprinted across stage, almost knocking Juanita over, and arrived back with Joel's Ebo in the nick of time (see, I was concentrating on other things too). It was a small device he placed on the strings to produce a certain sound towards the end of Treasure Hunt. He then placed it on top of the amp but I can't recall if he used it again.
Sorry to be so vague.

The thing you're talking about is a E-Bow.
He also uses this on Cities Burning Down.

Yes, it was one of these:  Ebow = Electronic Bow I presume |

Indeed it is. Integral to one of the best songs ever written! From glimpses in other shots of the band I can see one of the Moogerfooger pedals, no idea which one, think it's a phaser, and an the Eventide modulation one. From certain sounds I'm guessing there's a Digitech Whammy (pitch-shifter) on there too. Cheers folks, getting there! |

He definitely had one of these, or something that looked very much like it, and Juanita said an in interview that the guys are very much into technology on stage.  |
