The official Lerxst board photograph identifies the Tech 21 wah, Timmy, signature TONEX, Ditto X2 and ATWAS. Lifeson independently explains to Rick Beato that TONEX recreates his historic amplifiers while Fractal handles the broader per-song system, and IK Multimedia confirms TONEX use for the tour. No public cable trace establishes the order of the two treadles, analog drive, modelers and looper, so their sequence is functional and marked reconstructed. The FC-12 controller, power distribution and utility hardware are omitted because they do not process audio.
