| Lucydreamer | Overdrive | "Lucydreamer is my fave OD. So clean and the blend makes it."5 |
| Red Muck | Distortion | "Red Muck will be my muff."9 |
| Octaurus | Octave fuzz | "The Octaurus is godly. GODLY."10 |
| Wahcko | Wah | Listed by the maker among its users4 |
Delay Llama
Thomson is named on the Delay Llama and on the Achenbach Delay Llama Mk 3, a variant of the pedal, and his quote covers the whole family: a llama variant will be his analog delay from here on, and he calls it the best new production analog delay there is as far as he is concerned36.
Lucydreamer
The maker credits Thomson with the Lucydreamer, including the "Achenbach" and "Campfire" versions of the pedal78. His endorsement is specific about why it works for him: the clean headroom and the blend control5.
Red Muck
Thomson's line on the Red Muck, "Red Muck will be my muff," signals that it is his Big Muff style fuzz of choice19.
Octaurus
The Octaurus is an octafuzz, and Thomson is named among its players2. His verdict on it:
"The Octaurus is godly. GODLY."
Wahcko
Thomson is listed as a user of the Wahcko, JAM Pedals' wah pedal, on both the "Loading Dock" and "Metal" versions of the pedal411.
