Billy Corgan Pedalboard – What You Need To Know

Billy Corgan has used a lot of pedals in his career, and hasn’t shied away from experimentation.  There are, however, some types of effects that recur, such as the Phase and Fuzz effects.

While you may see a lot of recurring pedals on his boards, as well as a relatively limited selection on the floor at one time, do not be fooled: Billy Corgan is a gear head.  In fact, it is known that he has a bathtub full of effects.  While the pedals below are known to have been on his board at that particular time, there are definitely pedals not seen here that have popped up on tour or in recordings that maybe even Billy can’t recall which one.

Billy’s pedalboards have completely evolved throughout his career, starting with none of the pedals he started with appearing on his latest board.  So to try to replicate Billy’s sound, you have to first start by choosing which era you want to attempt!
