Joan Jett's live sound in 2015 came from one pedal: an Ibanez TS9DX Turbo Tube Screamer mounted by her Music Man amp. Nothing else sits between the guitar and the amplifier.

## Reconstruction note

Technician Zach Nagy presented Jett's March 2015 rig to Premier Guitar. Sweetwater's later gear profile independently summarizes the same configuration as an amp-mounted TS9DX plus a stage tuner and quotes Nagy's description of Jett as plug-and-play. The tuner is omitted as a utility, leaving the single audio processor shown here. No order inference is necessary.
