I've reloaded an old page I put up some years ago.

following links will get you pages of thumbnails, click on ones of 
interest to get bigger shots.
Pedals are here:

There's some fun crowd shots of course.  Somewhere I have a shot taken 
by Krusty Fries in the crowd of myself on stage, but it's not in these 
shots.  It was new years eve at Lismore and they invited a bunch up on 
stage to throw streamers at midnight.  I took my camera and took the 
"live action" shots while they played, from among them.  Jim and Martin 
seemed to think I was trivially amusing.  I hung over Jim's shoulder for 
the shot of his pedals and Martin dutifully stepped to the side while 
still working the pedals so that he wouldn't get in the way of the shot 
(!!!!).  Pretty funny in hindsight.

Can't promise how soon I can pass it on, but I took photos of their 
pedals from on stage about 1999 (Lismore).  Put them up back then on PW 
list.  Might still be somewhere in some cache (and there was some 
diagnosis of them on the list at the time), but I have them at home in 
any case somewhere.

Hi everyone
I was wondering if anybody knows what type of gear Martin and Jim used
back in the early days? 
I know that Martin used a 1960's something Fender Stratocaster and Jim
played a 1970's Gretsch Roc Jet.
I would like to know what kind of effect pedals were used, especially
around the time of the Capitol Theater gig's?

Regards,
