Josh Homme Pedalboard – 2001 Queens of the Stone Age

Below is a listing of pedals used early on in his career. This is a period where his pedalboard was very much in flux. What’s important to note is what has remained on his board since the early days: volume pedals and delays remain, while the popular grunge era pedals of the SD-1 and Phase 90 don’t seem to have a place on his more recent effects rig.
