This comes off weird. Buzz has been pretty outspoken in the past about not being a pedal nerd. Off hand remarks about only using what he can easily replace, or "not trusting" the kind of guitar player that uses a lot of effects. Barely changes his touring setup, only replacing run of the mill pedals for something similar. He did mention recording, so maybe that really is true. He owns a crap load of Gibsons, EGCs, and now Travis Bean Designs. I will have to ask about his pedals at home next time he comes through town.
Yeah, I was thinking that too, and was pleasantly surprised to see this video. Maybe he's opened his mind a bit more with pedals? Last year he replaced his Electro-Harmonix Pitch Fork with an Earthquaker Arpanoid, though I'm pretty sure he had the Pitch Fork back instead of the Arpanoid, when I saw Melvins last month. Back in Decemberish Melvins shared a photo on their facebook page of pedals they were using for recording, or at least had lying around in the studio. I remember there were a bunch of Earthquakers. Then again, Earthquaker has become so big and successful, it seems they're with the big leagues now. I bet they came on Buzz's radar as pedal options that can be easily found/replaced... He seems like he wants things to be as simple as possible live, but is open to pretty much anything in the studio.
And of course there's the "demo" video where Buzz is introduced to the Zvex Fuzz Factory and Death By Audio Supersonic Fuzz Gun. He gives them positive reviews.
Have you interviewed him in the past?
