I know the picture is small but I can't find any of this setup that are higher res or bigger..... i know the first boss pedal is a TU-2

It's Seefeel bassist Shigeru Ishihara's setup from their last tour. Just curious how he gets his choppy dubstep-y mega fuzzed but perfectly in sync sounds.
Their 'comeback' album has stayed as one of my all time favourites since it was released and definitely one of my favourite live experiences. Any other fans around?
'Dead Guitars' totally slays.

Korg Tonework AX 1000g is one

Boss PN-2 is another, I think

I was going to say this as well.
Then the tu2/3, maybe a DD of some sort?, and then the middle dark one is hard to say. Looks like a three knobber.

Found another in color:

I would agree that the mint green pedal is likely a PN-2, although the Boss EH-2 is similar in appearance. The second pedal appears to be a dark teal with 3 knobs, which could be a TR-2 (an SD-2 could appear teal in the right light), but the final pedal could be the trickiest. It appears to have a tight, horizontal orientation, which could be a few different Boss pedals. The Boss ODB-3, OS-2, the PW-2, the dual SD-2, and the DF-2 (perhaps the most aggressive of these?) all have a similar 4-pot layout. I've never used any of these models personally, but I might start with the DF-2, if I was trying to mirror that chain.

Based on the audio, you could probably do something similar with a square wave tremolo, volume pedal, and a thick, filtered distortion. Of course if he is using the PN-2 and TR-2 in series, they could be set to varying speeds for more extreme ramping applications. Or if the first mint pedal is an EH-2, that could account for some of the dynamics of the distorted signal. Just listening to your linked clip, it reminds me of a really pinched, gated fuzz you'd find in something like an EHX Micro synth. I guess the next question would be: how close is their live sound to their studio sound?

You guys are freakin awesome thanks so much!
Echorec - their live sound is identical to studio on the bass.
I should point out though the broken up filtered sounds that start the track aren't played on bass, it's the wobbly aggressive distorted bass bits that come in later, he gets a fair bit of high pitched squeal tremelo'd at points too which makes me think it would be the feedbacker distortion

That track is killer. Very nice.
