Newer board: [Chris Buck — Dual Schmidt Array touring system (2024)](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/chris-buck/schmidt-array-touring-system-2024/). ## Signal chain **Order evidence — Reconstructed.** No source publishes this sequence; the order is reconstructed. The units are evidenced; their sequence is the archive's inference from the convention below, not an observation. Do not report this order as documented. Reconstruction convention: Tuner → Wah and filter → Compressor → Overdrive, distortion and fuzz → Modulation → Delay → Reverb → Amplifier. A documented routing zone always overrides it. | # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Mythos Golden Fleece | Supplies the responsive, edge-of-breakup fuzz voice and stacks into overdrives. | Switching loop | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/mythos-golden-fleece/ | | 2 | Snouse BlackBox Overdrive 2 | Provides articulate low-to-medium gain and a stacking partner for the King of Tone. | Switching loop | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/snouse-blackbox-overdrive-2/ | | 3 | Great Eastern FX Small Speaker Overdrive | Introduces a narrower, characterful drive texture before the broader gain stages. | Switching loop | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/great-eastern-fx-small-speaker-overdrive/ | | 4 | Mythos Mjolnir | Adds focused midrange and gain, particularly when paired with the Small Speaker drive. | Switching loop | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/mythos-mjolnir/ | | 5 | Analog Man King of Tone | Delivers the principal open overdrive and combines with fuzz or the BlackBox for heavier sounds. | Switching loop | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/analog-man-king-of-tone/ | | 6 | Jackson Audio Bloom (White enclosure) | Controls dynamics while retaining a parallel dry component for attack and articulation. | Switching loop | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/jackson-audio-bloom/ | | 7 | Xotic EP Booster | Raises level for solos while adding the slight coloration of an EP-style preamp. | Switching loop | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/xotic-ep-booster/ | | 8 | Mooer Trelicopter | Creates the deliberately abrupt, choppy tremolo pulse. | Switching loop | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/mooer-trelicopter/ | | 9 | Catalinbread Echorec | Provides patterned repeats and the rhythmic character of a magnetic-drum echo. | Switching loop | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/catalinbread-echorec/ | | 10 | Line 6 HX Stomp XL | Hosts utility and time-based sounds that would otherwise require several separate pedals. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/line-6-hx-stomp-xl/ | | 11 | Gurus Echosex 3 | Adds warm, preamp-colored repeats distinct from the digital and multi-head delays. | External board loop | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/gurus-echosex-3/ | | 12 | ThorpyFX Deep Oggin | Provides deep modulation outside the HX Stomp's programmable effects. | External board loop | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/thorpyfx-deep-oggin/ | | 13 | Boss RE-202 Space Echo | Supplies spacious tape-style repeats, ambience and performance effects such as hold or ramping. | External board loop | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-re-202-space-echo/ | | 14 | Universal Audio Golden Reverberator | Provides the main long plate or hall ambience, with spring reverb available as a fallback. | External board loop | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/universal-audio-golden-reverberator/ | ## Reconstruction note 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. ## Questions ### What pedals did Chris Buck use in 2022? This dated entry lists 14 units: Mythos Golden Fleece, Snouse BlackBox Overdrive 2, Great Eastern FX Small Speaker Overdrive, Mythos Mjolnir, Analog Man King of Tone, Jackson Audio Bloom, Xotic EP Booster, Mooer Trelicopter, Catalinbread Echorec, Line 6 HX Stomp XL, Gurus Echosex 3, ThorpyFX Deep Oggin, Boss RE-202 Space Echo, Universal Audio Golden Reverberator. This is the recorded inventory, not a claim that every connection or model identification is confirmed; see the evidence and routing notes. ### What order were Chris Buck's pedals in? The complete order is reconstructed, not observed. The layout follows the cited routing constraints and the archive's signal-chain convention where the sources are silent. See the diagram and routing notes for the separate paths and any unconfirmed connections. ### Is this Chris Buck's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 14 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Chris Buck owned or used. Floor pedals, rack units and routing devices are included only where recorded; omitted equipment and uncertain connections are explained in the notes. It is not a complete or current rig inventory. ### When and where was this pedalboard used? November 2022. Cardinal Black Royal Albert Hall tour period. This is one dated setup as documented, not a career-wide gear list. ### How does the archive know what was on this pedalboard? 2 cited sources, listed above with the date each was read, including MusicRadar, Premier Guitar. Among them an interview and a rig rundown. The units are recorded as reconstructed equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-08-03. ## Sources 2 cited sources across 2 independent groups. Two sources sharing an independent group report the same observation and count once. 1.
