### Identification notes

- **1. JAM Pedals Koch Ness Monster:** JAM’s artist testimony identifies Greg’s compact travel option; the official product documentation establishes routing. That Pedal Show independently lists both models in its October 2024 episode inventory. Neither source dates a specific gig with this compact setup.

## Reconstruction note

JAM documents Greg’s compact travel setup and its internal routing; That Pedal Show independently lists both signature models in its October 11, 2024 episode equipment inventory. That listing does not establish a particular concert using the compact unit. The archive represents its four circuits and send/return as one physical enclosure. The internal order is manufacturer-described, not cable-traced. This remains an undated core setup, audited in November 2026; external-loop contents, amplifier choice and personal knob settings are not established for it. The June 2025 ToneQuest gigging testimony concerns the Supreme and is not transferred to this configuration.

## Questions

### What order were Greg Koch's pedals in?

A cited source states the order: Guitar → JAM Pedals Koch Ness Monster → amplifier.

### Is this Greg Koch's full guitar rig?

No. This dated entry covers one unit in the effects path, not every piece of gear Greg Koch 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?

Undated signature setup · verified November 2026. JAM pedals artist profile. This is the core signal path documented for that period, not a career-wide gear list.

JAM lists the Koch Ness Monster and Koch Ness Monster Supreme as pedals used by Greg. His first-person quotes describe the orange four-effect unit as his pared-down throw-and-go setup, the Supreme as his broader palette, and the WaterFall as a chorus he uses. Undated artist page: it does not identify a concert, a first-use date or additional external pedals.

Manufacturer documentation for the integrated effects, controls and routing. This establishes the product design, not a dated concert observation.
