Yep, not mine.

This set up is pretty much based around a Boss pedal board that this guy's been using since the eighties, with some variations.

It looks like they're recording rather than playing live, judging on the way it looks the wahs are being tried out.

The clothes should give a clue.

the board looks close to what Bootsy uses to record, but the White guys hand throws that off. The shoes would fit that as well....
..but the guy is playing a guitar .....
AAARGH!

Perhaps Matt Bellamy? (although no Z vex in sight!)

I'm a bit late in here but I think I see a PW-10 next to TU-2 and the blue pedal next to the LS-2 looks like a CS-2 to me. The disconnected pedal in front appears to be a Crybaby wah. There is also a TU-12 in BCB that hasn't been mentioned.

I think the little black one near his hand looks like it might be a SansAmp GT2.

The photo is a fairly recent one of Robert Smith's pedals, from the last year or two, judging from the Bootzilla wah. It's a little earlier, but in the April 2000 Guitar Player he said that it was '[...] currently loaded with Boss pedals: a phaser, a flanger, a digital delay, an overdrive, a Blues Driver, and a line driver[...]', which would suggest the BD-2.

I'd agree that it's a Crybaby that's unplugged, as that's the wah he's most associated with.

Good eye, I think it is a Tech 21 pedal, but (and I don't claim credit for this, it was a guy on basschat.co.uk who spotted it) from the placement of the led and the lighter coloured lettering, it looks like a Tech 21 Double Drive.

As to pedal order, it looks to me it's going:

Digitech Whammy 4 -> Snarling Dogs Bootzilla -> Boss PW-10 -> TU-2 -> Hughes and Kettner Tube Factor -> EHX Electric Mistress -> Tech21 Double Drive -> PH-2 -> BF-2 -> DSD-2/3 -> SD-1 -> BD-2 -> LS-2 -> Amp

...unless some of it is going through an FX loop.

Damb it! Dlloyd I had the bonus point. I was just a day late. You have to give those of us who don't sign on everyday a little while longer.

The Cure is my all time favorite no exceptions. I ran across that pic on some french forum I think. I found the link somewhere from these forums. There were a couple other pics and from what I remember that looks like only half or maybe a third of the pedal circle he had around him.

I'm going to Toronto to see them this May. Then two days later again in Chicago. Too bad they didn't stop in Detroit this time around.
