Yesterday I posted Foal’s Yannis Philippakis’ pedal board. Foals is a guitar inner play band, so I wanted to mention Jimmy Smith who is a major part of the Foals sound. Reading an article a while ago, it mentioned the two guitarists like to create polyrhythms. Basically two time signatures but can be played straight through.
Jimmy normally plays through a Vox AC30 and Gibson Les Paul Junior Special. I wasn’t able to verify the amp at the show I saw though.
Below is a shot of his pedal board:
Bottom row from right to left:

Top row from right to left:

Please comment below if I missed anything.. or mis-identified anything.
