Eric Johnson's home practice board is six pieces: a custom double-loop box choosing between a Zendrive 2 and Dover Drive gain branch or an extra Belle Epoch echo, then a shared Belle Epoch and a TC stereo chorus.

## Signal chain

**Order evidence — Source-described.** A source states the sequence.

| # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Custom Silver Double Loop Box | Selects the dirty/lead Loop A and wetter clean Loop B before the always-available output effects. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/custom-silver-double-loop-box/ |
| 2 | Hermida Audio Zendrive 2 | Stays on for the slightly crunchy rhythm foundation of the dirty/lead branch. | Switching loop | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/hermida-audio-zendrive-2/ |
| 3 | Hermida Audio Dover Drive | Adds the extra saturation Johnson selects when the dirty-rhythm branch needs a lead voice. | Switching loop | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/hermida-audio-dover-drive/ |
| 4 | Catalinbread Belle Epoch (Gold enclosure) | Provides tape-voiced repeats and Echoplex-style preamp coloration for clean or shared output paths. | Switching loop | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/catalinbread-belle-epoch/ |
| 5 | Catalinbread Belle Epoch (Gold enclosure) | Provides tape-voiced repeats and Echoplex-style preamp coloration for clean or shared output paths. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/catalinbread-belle-epoch/ |
| 6 | TC Electronic Stereo Chorus+ Pitch Modulator & Flanger | Widens the clean output and supplies subtle chorus or pitch modulation before the amplifier pair. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/tc-electronic-stereo-chorus-pitch-modulator-and-flanger/ |

## Reconstruction note

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.
