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 | Signature Cry Baby Wah (Pelham Blue finish) | Provides the filter sweep at the front of the floor rig. | — | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/cry-baby-wah/ | | 2 | Electro-Harmonix Micro POG | Adds octave layers to single-note lines; new to the board since the 2013 rig. | — | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/electro-harmonix-micro-pog/ | | 3 | Way Huge Smalls Overrated Special | Supplies the board's principal midrange-forward overdrive voice. | — | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/way-huge-smalls-overrated-special/ | | 4 | TS808 Tube Screamer | Carries the long-standing Tube Screamer gain voice, retained from the 2013 rig. | — | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/ts808-tube-screamer/ | | 5 | Signature Fuzz Face | Provides the board's only fuzz voice, retained from the 2013 rig. | — | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/fuzz-face/ | | 6 | Supa-Trem | Carries the tremolo that has stayed on the board since the 2013 rig. | — | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/supa-trem/ | | 7 | Micro Flanger | Supplies the flanging sweep, retained from the 2013 rig. | — | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/micro-flanger/ | | 8 | Rotosphere | Provides rotary-speaker simulation, retained from the 2013 rig. | — | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/rotosphere/ | | 9 | BOSS DD-2 Digital Delay | Supplies the board's delay, replacing the DD-3 documented on the 2013 rig. | — | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-dd-2-digital-delay/ | | 10 | Amplifier Splitter | Feeds the several amplifiers the rig runs at once. | — | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/amplifier-splitter/ | | 11 | Amplifier Loop Box | Places part of the board in the amplifier loops instead of ahead of the preamp. | — | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/amplifier-loop-box/ | | 12 | Lehle A/B/C Switcher | Selects between amplifier paths in the split rig. | — | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/lehle-a-b-c-switcher/ | | 13 | Mesa/Boogie Revolver Footswitch | Controls the rotating speaker cabinet from the floor; carries no audio itself. | — | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/mesa-boogie-revolver-footswitch/ | ## Reconstruction note Premier Guitar names all thirteen units at the Ryman but publishes no signal order - its enumeration is a walk-through of the board that places the wah twelfth, so it cannot be read as a chain. The sequence shown here therefore follows the archive's reconstruction convention and is drawn as reconstructed. The four routing and control utilities have no position under that convention and are grouped after the effects; no source states where they sit. The documented architecture of the 2013 rig, where the delay and Rotosphere ran in the amplifier loops, is deliberately not carried over, and placement zones are left unset rather than inferred. Dunlop independently documents the Overrated Special as designed with Bonamassa. Amplifiers, guitars and the Voodoo Lab power supply are omitted. ## Questions ### What pedals did Joe Bonamassa use in 2022? This dated entry lists 13 units: Signature Cry Baby Wah, Electro-Harmonix Micro POG, Way Huge Smalls Overrated Special, TS808 Tube Screamer, Signature Fuzz Face, Supa-Trem, Micro Flanger, Rotosphere, BOSS DD-2 Digital Delay, Amplifier Splitter, Amplifier Loop Box, Lehle A/B/C Switcher, Mesa/Boogie Revolver Footswitch. 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 Joe Bonamassa'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 Joe Bonamassa's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 13 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Joe Bonamassa 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? Ryman Auditorium rundown, August 2022. Ryman Auditorium, Nashville. 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, Dunlop. Among them a rig rundown and an official listing. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-08-10. ## Sources 2 cited sources across 2 independent groups. Two sources sharing an independent group report the same observation and count once. 1. [Joe Bonamassa Rig Rundown at the Ryman](https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/joe-bonamassa) — Premier Guitar (Primary source · rig-rundown), published 2022-08-24, accessed 2026-08-10, independent group `premier-guitar-bonamassa-2022`. Filmed at the Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, on the summer 2022 tour supporting Time Clocks. Names all thirteen units on the board and the Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 Plus supplying it, but publishes no signal order: the enumeration is a board walk-through, and it places the wah twelfth. Routing beyond the presence of a splitter and a loop box is not described. 2. [Way Huge Smalls Overrated Special Overdrive](https://www.jimdunlop.com/way-huge-smalls-overrated-special-overdrive/) — Dunlop (Primary source · official), accessed 2026-08-10, independent group `dunlop-bonamassa-signature`. Manufacturer page for the overdrive. States it was "designed in conjunction with bluesman Joe Bonamassa" and documents its Volume, Tone, Drive and Freq controls in the compact Smalls housing. Corroborates the unit and Bonamassa's involvement independently of any rundown; publishes nothing about the board or its order. ## Related pages - Every documented board by Joe Bonamassa: [Joe Bonamassa board history](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/joe-bonamassa/) - [Joe Bonamassa — Four-amplifier touring board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/joe-bonamassa/touring-rig-2013/): shares Amplifier Splitter, Micro Flanger, Rotosphere, Supa-Trem, TS808 Tube Screamer, Fuzz Face, Cry Baby Wah - [Tyler Bryant — Shakedown touring board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/tyler-bryant/shakedown-board-2018/): shares Electro-Harmonix Micro POG, Cry Baby Wah - [Dave Davies — Two-pedal stage rig](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/dave-davies/two-pedal-stage-rig-2019/): shares BOSS DD-2 Digital Delay - [Eric Johnson — Ah Via Musicom four-amp system](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/eric-johnson/ah-via-musicom-four-amp-rig-2018/): shares TS808 Tube Screamer, Fuzz Face, Cry Baby Wah - [Dan Auerbach — El Camino touring rig](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/dan-auerbach/el-camino-touring-rig-2012/): no shared unit; a comparable signal path (Pitch & Synth, Routing & Control, Filter & EQ, Modulation, Gain) - [Richard Thompson — Ship to Shore electric touring rig](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/richard-thompson/ship-to-shore-electric-touring-rig-2024/): no shared unit; a comparable signal path (Pitch & Synth, Routing & Control, Modulation, Delay & Echo, Gain) - Previous board in archive order: [Joan Jett — Single-overdrive Blackhearts rig](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/joan-jett/single-overdrive-blackhearts-rig-2015/) - Next board in archive order: [Joe Bonamassa — Four-amplifier touring board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/joe-bonamassa/touring-rig-2013/)
