The Smashing Pumpkins-united states@Rock am ring 2007

I learned how 2 play this song on guitar but i dont know what destortion pedal billy is using sadly! Does anyone know what destortion pedal he is using?

@skizmsucks23

He was using Diezel heads is all I've heard.

If I'm not mistaken, he isn't using anything different in this song effect wise as compared to his normal setup for the heavier songs in the set. (Zero, Bullet, etc)
The primary difference in the tone is the change of guitar. He pulls out the Schecter for United States and it's the only song that he uses it with. The guitar has active Seymour Duncan Blackouts, and that's why it sounds so thick and powerful.
So if you're after the tone, you're out of luck if your guitar lacks actives.

Epic Rock!

sounds like superjesus at the start

And at the end it sounds like X.Y.U :D

Yeah, I love how it's almost a jam at the end.

Yeah it's my favorite off Zeitgeist

I agree not only is united states the best song off of zeitgeist but one of their best songs ever!

don't you mean Superchrist.
