Gary Marx's pedals set

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Depends when you're talking about really. Liberal amounts of chorus, some delay and overdrive. Probably Boss or EHX. If I was to hazard a guess I'd say he had a CE-2 and a DM-1. Was the exact gear of the band (effects wise) ever covered on here?

As an aside, I know around 1985 Wayne used a JC-120 (because you just should) and various BOSS modulation pedals. Again, because you just should. Pretty sure that's a BF-2 (purple flanger pedal favoured by a certain Mr. Smith) I can hear all over Wake.

I remember having read that they pretty much used whatever was available to borrow, at least on the early years.


I once hit a setting on an EHX Polychorus that sounded very close to the Nine While Nine chorus.

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
