| Ten Era Pedals |
|
- Pan Pedal (used between his Marshall and a Fender Bassman with four 10|s); quoting Stone: "The pedal allows me to alternate between the clean Twin and the dirty Marshall sound, or run them both in stereo. ... It allows you to achieve an endless array of sounds. I can have it all-the-way Twin, all-the-way Marshall, or halfway between, with both amps running at half juice, which gives you that Rolling Stones tone."
- Boss Stereo Chorus Pedal
