The order follows Pete Cornish's published account and the detailed 1977 archive. Most circuits were mounted inside the board and switched through bypass loops; the Big Muff and Electric Mistress sat on top in the external send/return. The delay send sits between the volume pedal and final noise gate/line driver but is not drawn as a pedal. Tuner feed, master bypass and three amplifier-output switches are control routing and are omitted.
