other people will be able to give you many more answers, but I know that for at least the Siamese Dream record he used a Big Muff, one of the ones with a tone bypass switch.

Yup, the old 80s ones. Otherwise, lots of assorted vintage fuzz pedals, Fender Blender for some stuff, I believe a Roland Bee Baa at some point?

v4 op-amp Big Muff -- not the one with the tone bypass switch.
This is the muff from Siamese Dream

Fender Blender too
Lots of other stuff
Here's a few pics of his board from the Machina tour

You can see the Big muff. There's also a Boss FZ-3 in there, a DC2, a couple of noise gates (?). Not sure about the blue thing? Pitch shifter?

Here's another pic -- different layout. Muff's there. The black thing is a Vox Tone Bender RI

a) Zoidberg is by far the most annoying character Matt Groening ever created.
b) I'd fuck both Corgan and Dirnst, if they had bags over their heads.
