I didn't see any bass pedals, but perhaps I missed them.  Did Rutherford play them along with the guitar?

I think so. Maybe in this instance they weren't used and Banks provided the bass.

Seems you are right. No bass in this song besides Hackett's bassy strumming.( when he's not doing a blistering solo)

According to wikipedia:

 In the earlier years of Genesis he used to play Moog Taurus bass pedal synthesiser.

So maybe it's there but we can't see it.  The sound quality doesn't really help it stand out either.

Yeah I know he plays bass pedals, but not in this song.

You call (10:12) creepy? OK.
 
I like Magog better. I find it to be his most impressive outfit ever. The mask looks like a geometric helmet.

He was brilliant in many of his costumes, but if I have to choose I would also say that the Slipperman with its balls blowing up with compressed air was probably his most accomplished one.
