Premier Guitar's on-camera rundown supplies the pedal sequence represented here, while the accompanying board footage verifies the inventory. The G3 switches the individual loops, so the drawn line expresses loop order rather than every simultaneously active pedal. The G3 control surface and Schmidt Array patch infrastructure are omitted as non-tonal routing hardware. MusicRadar's 2022 first-person interview independently confirms the recurring core and makes clear that this is a later snapshot, not a timeless board.
