Kitchens Of Distinction

Kitchens of Distinction. Abbreviated 'KOD', is the miracle work of Julian Swales and Patrick Fitzgerald. It's almost as hypnotic as mind control. As if your entire world being embraced by Northern Lights, just swirls and stars, but behind every great sound is a good ear, a good mind and Julain has been kind enough to share his good memory. 

"Quadraverb, Yamaha R100.

Had a Zoom something or other for a while but got rid of it. Mainly Boss pedals- the usual suspects - overdrive , chorus, delay. There were a few extra fuzz pedals that gave a certain something - they were weird cheap things- one was called a tube stack but I don't know the make. On SFW I used a Peavey amp, a fender amp and a Roland Cube. On Death of Cool I had a rivera amp with mesa boogie speakers which accounts for the sound being different on that album. Hugh Jones had a great contribution with use of compression- Urei was a word I heard a lot! And we used the AMS delay /chorus whenever we could- very expensive so I couldn't afford one. For reverb there was an actual plate at Sawmills (death of cool) but not sure what I used for SFW. Didn't have many FX really in comparison to what I see today- it's probably just that I had them all on at the same time, all the time! Ha ha!" - Julian Swales

These are the "maybes". If you've looked for KOD gear before, you've probably heard that Julian had a pretty impressive array of boss pedal lined up live. Since no one has shown any photo or video proof of this, I composed a list of possible pedals based on manufacture dates. These plus the few on top should give you the professed 12 - 15 pedals.
