The bits of a show i look forward to most would be things like:

- The wah wah guitar ending to volcano, just before he speaks "you do not need me"

- The screaming at the end of Yoke

- Everything about the songs Face and Tongue (These 2 songs showcase what im trying to get at perfectly)

- The wah wah effect that used to be used so well back in 2004 in WLAM

- The end of I remember where he uses 2 pedals at once - thats class!

Just songs that involve a bit of crunch/distorsion/wah-wah in general.

My favourite part of his show is still the cello/piano ending to accidental babies, but i'm so into damien because of the effects he uses and the way in which he uses them so unashamedly. Ah, maybe this has comes from years of loving Muse! But i do take your point, i think his pedal work is a bit like marmite!
i love those effects as well! magical, gives the music a very orgasmic feel I just dont like SO MUCH effects throughout the entire show to the point where it seems like "O" on speed haha
