Hey! I've been listening to a lot of OK Go recently and I have been wondering what sorts of pedals they use. Even
[youtube][/youtube]
Do you have any idea what they could of used for the guitar with the more crumbly distortion. It also seems to feature this at 2:00 on ......
[youtube][/youtube] And is that a POG kicking in at 1:50 ?????

Or does anyone have a report or picture of the pedalboards???

Thanks. :)

Visual Sound is proud to be a small part of this band's large career. We're also excited that they use all our pedals -- what an honor!
1:50 in that vid sounds like 2 guitars, not a POG. There's actual harmonies going on rather than just the guitar bit being replicated in a different pitch.

OK Go apparently uses Visual Sound pedals:

You might have to check up on that because Visual Sound also lists Jamie Cook of Arctic Monkeys as one of their artists. I know for a fact however, that his live pedalboard has never seen a Visual Sound pedal.

Other than that, you may want to check out pictures of them playing live to check a glimpse at their gear. Sorry I wasn't of more help :?. It's just hard to get good results when you google "ok go pedalboard"

That was less than half an hour. The board is generally quiet at the weekend.

Take it easy.

lol I was thinking that when I replied. Incidentally googling "ok go effects pedals" yields that visual sound blurb as the first result... it was probably less than 30 seconds before I was replying to this thread having known bugger all about OK Go's rig (apart from the treadmills) beforehand.
Even if a search query seems unlikely you should always give it a go. It's certainly faster than awaiting response on a message board where there may/may not be anyone who has an answer for you logged on.
