He could not recall the RMC wah model, so the archive preserves that uncertainty. One additional small front-path enclosure is not identifiable and is deliberately omitted. The later Guitar Thrills interview confirms the recurring Octron and minimal routing vocabulary but is not merged into this 2020 snapshot. ## Questions ### What pedals did Davy Knowles use in 2020? This dated entry lists 8 units: RMC Wah (model not recalled), BOSS TU-3W, Mythos High Road Fuzz, BMF Effects The Godfather, Foxrox Octron, MXR Carbon Copy, JHS Lucky Cat, JHS Spring Tank. 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 Davy Knowles's pedals in? A cited source states the order. See the diagram and routing notes for the separate paths and any unconfirmed connections. ### Is this Davy Knowles's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 8 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Davy Knowles 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? January 29, 2020. Official touring-rig walkthrough. This is the core signal path documented for that 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 Davy Knowles, Guitar Thrills. Among them a rig rundown and an interview. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-08-03. ## Sources 2 cited sources across 2 independent groups.
