Bert Jansch toured 2007-2010 with a Yamaha LL11E acoustic and no pedals. Its onboard system mixed an under-saddle pickup with an internal contact microphone.

## Signal chain

**Order evidence — Not applicable.** No floor effects to order.

No pedals are documented in this signal path.

## Reconstruction note

Jansch identified the LL11E as his principal road guitar and described its stock dual-source pickup system; independent contemporary coverage also names the LL11 as his current stage instrument. Neither source publishes a floor-device inventory, DI or mixer model, complete PA trace, or evidence of an effects pedal. The archive therefore records an acoustic core path and does not infer a pedalboard or claim that the piezo and contact microphone were always blended in the same way.

## Questions

### Did Bert Jansch use effects pedals in 2007?

No effects pedals are documented in this path. The archive records the guitar going to a microphone, so the sound comes from the instrument, the room and the way it was captured.

### When and where was this acoustic rig used?

2007-2010 touring era. Solo and support tours. This is the core signal path documented for that period, not a career-wide gear list.

### How does the archive know what was on this acoustic rig?

2 cited sources, listed above with the date each was read, including Fretboard Journal, MusicRadar. Among them an interview and a written article. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-08-02.
