Davies directly named a BOSS DD-2 and an old 1980s BOSS chorus as his usual stage effects in 2019, but did not publish the chorus suffix or a cable trace. The display follows the order in which he enumerated the units and must not be read as verified electrical order. His 2023 Vintage Guitar interview independently confirms that he had become tired of pedals and used them sparingly, while still valuing slow phasing; that phase pedal is not added here because he did not include it in the dated 2019 setup.
No source publishes this sequence. The units are ordered by conventional signal-chain practice, and any documented routing zone is kept as recorded.

- What pedals did Dave Davies use in 2019?
- This dated entry lists 2 units: BOSS DD-2 Digital Delay, BOSS Chorus (1980s model unresolved). 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 Dave Davies'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: Guitar → BOSS DD-2 Digital Delay → BOSS Chorus (1980s model unresolved) → amplifier.
- Is this Dave Davies's full guitar rig?
- No. This dated entry covers 2 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Dave Davies 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?
- Documented February 22, 2019. Dave Davies usual live setup. This is the rig documented for that touring period, 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, Vintage Guitar. Among them an interview. The units are recorded as reconstructed equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-07-18.
