Signal-chain order, settings and cited sources. - Canonical page: https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/james-burton/analog-alien-custom-board-2016/ - Machine-readable index of the archive: https://pedalboardarchive.com/llms.txt - Evidence and reconstruction conventions: https://pedalboardarchive.com/methodology/ ## At a glance | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Artist | James Burton | | Board | Analog Alien custom board | | Date | 2016-09-03 — Documented September 3, 2016 (day precision) | | Context | James Burton custom pedalboard | | Scope | Exact board snapshot | | Signal path | 3 units · Guitar to amplifier | | Routing | Serial path | | Unit evidence | Documented | | Order evidence | Source-described | | Status | Builder-documented and photographed exact board | | Audited | 2026-07-18 | | Sources | 3 | James Burton's custom Analog Alien board is three pedals: a FuzzBubble-45 fuzz and overdrive first, then two Rumble Seat units, each combining overdrive, delay and reverb with its own settings. ## Signal chain **Order evidence — Source-described.** A source states the sequence. `Guitar → Analog Alien FuzzBubble-45 → Analog Alien Rumble Seat A → Analog Alien Rumble Seat B → amplifier` | # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Analog Alien FuzzBubble-45 | Sits at the front of Burton's compact custom board and supplies its two dedicated gain voices. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/analog-alien-fuzzbubble-45/ | | 2 | Analog Alien Rumble Seat A | The first of two matching Rumble Seats gives Burton a separately configured set of drive, echo and ambience sounds. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/analog-alien-rumble-seat-a/ | | 3 | Analog Alien Rumble Seat B | The second Rumble Seat preserves another complete combination of gain, echo and reverb settings without re-dialling the first unit. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/analog-alien-rumble-seat-b/ | ## Reconstruction note Analog Alien states that it built this board for Burton, identifies both Rumble Seats and explicitly places the FuzzBubble-45 at the front end; its published photograph confirms the three enclosures. The two Rumble Seats are identical models with visibly different settings, so they are represented separately without guessing which songs or individual sections each setting served. Burton's earlier Guitar Player interview documents his selective approach to effects, and Vintage Guitar provides an independent later career interview; neither is used to back-project this 2016 board into his Elvis or Ricky Nelson periods. ## Questions ### What pedals did James Burton use in 2016?
