Here is a photo of the effects board circa 2008-01-20.

■KORG GT-12

It is not a true bypass, but it is a multifunctional tuner and still useful.

It was subtle except for the synth swell. I guess wahs should be analog.

Guyatone WR2 WAH ROCKER

This is an auto-wah with an exhilarating effect.

BOSS PS-5

Pitch shifter. It used a lot of flutter, an effect (flutter) that can produce the effect of the cricket technique possible with Floyd Rose and other instruments. For some reason, flutter seems to have been discontinued in its successor PS-6.

YAMAHA CH-10M

Chorus. It seems that Jimmy Page used the "YAMAHA CH-10M II" to be exact. This effector can be connected before distortion on a dare to create a univibe-like effect. I discovered this by accident. I own two of them, just in case. The effect is more pronounced on semi-acoustic instruments.

Sansamp GT2
http://www.soundhouse.co.jp/products/detail/item/78448/
Guitar amp simulator that works great with Ibanez JSM100 (semi-acoustic/Jonsco model). I used it live, in the studio, for DTM, it was just so versatile.

BOSS FV-50L
http://www.roland.co.jp/products/jp/FV-50L/
A simple volume pedal. For low impedance.

ZOOM G2.1u
http://amzn.to/1rgtcAb
Compact multi. Used only for noise reduction and spatial effects. Operability is poor, but I preferred it to its successor "G2.1Nu" for spatial sound.

Roland GR-20
http://www.roland.co.jp/products/jp/GR-20/
Guitar synthesizer. I often used ethnic sounds.

Electro-Harmonix / Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai
http://www.kcmusic.jp/ehx/stereo-memory-man-with-hazarai.html
Delay/looper. It features a sharp oscillating sound, and the looping effect can be applied even while oscillating. This is indeed an "erehamo.

Noah'sark / AC/DC-1
http://www.soundhouse.co.jp/products/detail/item/7560/
This is a power supply. There were many supply terminals, but it was heavy.

After this, I sold everything except the tuner, auto wah, chorus, and volume pedal, and switched to a Roland VG-99 (guitar synth).

Recording microphones are RODE NT4 > ZOOM H4 (recorder).

RODE / NT4
http://www.soundhouse.co.jp/products/detail/item/65859/
XY stereo type condenser microphone.

The total weight of the guitar and the microphone together was quite heavy, making it difficult to get to the studio.
