Buck's first-person MusicRadar walkthrough identifies each pedal, its purpose and several stacking relationships, but does not publish the complete G2 loop map. The devices follow the article's walkthrough order rather than a claimed cable trace. The G2 controller and patch bay are routing infrastructure and are omitted from the tonal line. Premier Guitar's later visual rundown independently confirms the continued use of the Golden Fleece, Mjolnir, BlackBox, Small Speaker, King of Tone, Trelicopter, Echorec, HX Stomp XL, RE-202 and Golden Reverberator while also documenting the board's subsequent changes.
