Eric Johnson

A custom two-loop box selects an always-on Zendrive-based gain branch or an extra clean echo before a shared Belle Epoch and stereo chorus output.

Johnson supplied Guitar World with the board photograph and a complete first-person map. Loop A is Zendrive 2 into Dover Drive and returns to the silver box; Loop B is a dedicated Belle Epoch and returns separately. The box's main output then feeds a second Belle Epoch and the TC SCF before one or two amplifiers. The linear display enumerates both selectable loops before the shared output chain, but the two loop branches are not active serial stages. The 2018 touring sources independently document Johnson's continuing use of the Belle Epoch and SCF while remaining a separate era.
