The units are evidenced; their sequence is the archive's inference from the convention below, not an observation. Do not report this order as documented. Reconstruction convention: Tuner → Wah and filter → Compressor → Overdrive, distortion and fuzz → Modulation → Delay → Reverb → Amplifier. A documented routing zone always overrides it. | # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | TC Electronic PolyTune 3 | Tunes, mutes and conditions the compact board input. | — | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/tc-electronic-polytune-3/ | | 2 | Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster Mini | Raises level and reshapes pickup resonance before the gain pedals. | — | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/seymour-duncan-pickup-booster-mini/ | | 3 | Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer | Supplies the mid-forward drive that Nichols identified as the small-board essential. | — | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/ts808-tube-screamer/ | | 4 | Klon Centaur | Adds a second boost/drive voice on the June revision. | — | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/klon-centaur/ | | 5 | Whirlwind Selector A/B | Routes the board output to the selected amplifier head. | — | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/whirlwind-selector-a-b/ | ## Reconstruction note Premier Guitar visually verifies the June inventory but does not publish a cable trace, so display order follows the functional walkthrough and is marked reconstructed. The January MusicRadar interview explicitly described the earlier Tube-Screamer-only version; the difference is treated as a dated revision. ## Questions ### What pedals did Jared James Nichols use in 2026? This dated entry lists 5 units: TC Electronic PolyTune 3, Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster Mini, Ibanez TS808 Tube Screamer, Klon Centaur, Whirlwind Selector A/B. This is the recorded inventory, not a claim that every connection or model identification is confirmed; see the evidence and routing notes. ### What order were Jared James Nichols's pedals in? The complete order is reconstructed, not observed. The layout follows the cited routing constraints and the archive's signal-chain convention where the sources are silent. See the diagram and routing notes for the separate paths and any unconfirmed connections. ### Is this Jared James Nichols's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 5 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Jared James Nichols 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? June 10, 2026. Premier Guitar Rig Rundown. This is one dated setup as documented, not a career-wide gear list. ### How does the archive know what was on this pedalboard? 2 cited sources, listed above with the date each was read, including Premier Guitar, MusicRadar. Among them a rig rundown and an interview. The units are recorded as reconstructed equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-08-03. ## Sources 2 cited sources across 2 independent groups. Two sources sharing an independent group report the same observation and count once. 1.
