I saw Mclusky in Cardiff at the weekend and managed to snap a couple of photos of their boards. It may well not be news, but it turns out Falco is now using a Harmonic Percolator made by Frederic Effects of this parish. A quick google suggests its a recent addition but the rest have been on the board for a while.

Guitar Bass edit - fixed wrong order as pointed out by Nick

To me it looks like tuner first, noise suppressor last.

Absolutely, let me tweak that.

Freddy needs to gift his bessie mate Falco a pack of fucking jay cloths for Christmas

It's interesting that both boards have noise suppressors

What's surprising about this is that they generally have a backline tech as part of the touring party, who I think maintains the pedalboards etc. Someone's slacking!!

Makes sense IMO. They're very cautious of any unnecessary/unintentional noise onstage these days since Falco's tinnitus has gotten so bad.

I just assume he had some sort of skin condition.

i dig the simplicity of these boards.
