Dave NavarroPedalboard, 2024
Dave Navarro's 2024 Jane's Addiction pedalboard splits into clean and dirty amplifier paths. It contains a Hendrix Cry Baby wah, an Ibanez Tube Screamer, three Boss DD-3 delays, two CH-1 Super Choruses and an unidentified ambience pedal. Technician Dan Cleary explains the routing: one DD-3 makes noise, one handles solos and one adds clean-path repeats. The tuner and A/B switcher are omitted from the effects diagram.

Documented equipment · Documented order · Split output path
Navarro's technician Dan Cleary walks the board for BOSS and states the order from the wah through the tuner, the noise delay, the ambience unit, the overdrive and the solo delay, then across the A/B switcher into the separate clean and dirty chains. Stompbox Book photographed the same board independently five years earlier and confirms the three DD-3s, both Super Choruses, the wah and the clean and dirty selector, and identifies the overdrive as an Ibanez Tube Screamer, which the 2024 account leaves unnamed. The BOSS TU-3 tuner and the A/B switcher are omitted as utility and routing devices. The ambience unit is described only by effect, not by model.
