Line6 MM4 Riot Act Era Pedals & Effects Greedtone Distortion Pedal Pictured above is the ever ellusive "Greedtone" pedal (Mike's is silver, as pictured below on his board). This pedal has been hand-made in Seattle by Greg Williamson for the past 12 years. There have been roughly 50 of these pedals made (~30 w/ the name "Greedtone", 20 without). After dealing with live and studio sound for 17 and 12 years, respectively, Greg went out and developed his own pedals for a more unique sound. "I didn't like the sound of most pedals, so I set out to make my own." He's got more of his custom pedals in the works so if you want to learn more (or order a pedal), let us know and we'll provide you with the necessary contact info. Thanks for the info Greg!

Electronics Multieffects Unit Sansamp Distortion Pan Pedal (used between his Marshall and a Fender Bassman with four 10's); quoting Stone: "The pedal allows me to alternate between the clean Twin and the dirty Marshall sound, or run them both in stereo. ... It allows you to achieve an endless array of sounds. I can have it all-the-way Twin, all-the-way Marshall, or halfway between, with both amps running at half juice, which gives you that Rolling Stones tone."
