Guthrie Trapp published the full order of his 2012 board: a Boss TU-2 tuner, then four gain stages — an Xotic RC Booster, an Ibanez Mostortion and two Nobels ODR-1s — a T-Rex Tremster, an Arion chorus and two delays.

## Reconstruction note

The official article states this exact sequence. Guitar Player documents a subsequent 2013 delay revision, so the later DD-7 and Brigadier are not merged into this 2012 snapshot.
