    I changed the way I play because of Dustin and Thrice. A true musical heroic force in my life as a guitar player.

    I was in a band once and we called 4 or 8 measure phrases Jimmys. Example: The Intro has 2 Jimmys (8Bars) then you to the verse and the verse as 4 Jimmys (16bars) lol mainly because we always found the drummer counted everything in half time, the guitarist counted everything in double time so we were like lets just call them jimmys. lol

    It seems like he uses a lot of Empress, JHS, and EHX. He's got a POG in there and a few pretty serious Empress pedals. I was just going to say this guys board is legit. The more I'm watching the more I'm like the future of guitar is technology.

    Keegan Hill I began my Thrice journey with the Beggars album. It's raw, and isn't really their most accessible work, but it's genius. The newest album is more accessible without sacrificing any of what makes Thrice brilliant. Maybe just start with To Be Everywhere is to Be Nowhere and work your way back. If you're into amazing experimental stuff you'll dig The Alchemy Index.

    Like Mysterioso suggested, I'd suggest backtracking through their albums. Each album has a sound of it's own and each album does that sound very well. If I had to go by a song list, I'd say this though: The Long Defeat The Window Yellow Belly Daedalus Anthology The Earth Isn't Humming Black Honey Firebreather The Earth Will Shake Image Of The Invisible Of Dust And Nations All The World Is Mad Beggars Paper Tigers Deadbolt Digital Sea

    I would guess it's something like an EHX B9 organ machine plus maybe a vibrato/shimmer delay/mod reverb... At 4:45 you get a semi-decent shot of the pedal board so maybe you can work it out. I see a few Strymons (a Time Line, a Möbius and a Big Sky), an EHX POG 2 and Line 6 M5, amongst other stuff, so it could well be a combination....

    I like how you assume he has no clue what he's doing with the pedals because you think pedals have to be used in a conventional guitarist's way, instead of using pedals to create soundscapes or walls of sound. I mean honestly, this is shoegaze 101 knowledge.
