Joe PerryPedalboard, 2024
Joe Perry's 2024 Aerosmith rig keeps the gain backstage in a rack under RJM control: a Strymon Compadre compressor and boost, a Klon Centaur, an Ibanez TS9, an Origin Effects RevivalDRIVE and a Boss BD-2, so the gain changes from preset to preset.

Tech Darren Hurst names all six rack effects and explicitly describes Compadre boost into Perry's Klon into the TS9. The RevivalDRIVE, Blues Driver and Micro Boost are independent programmable stages whose position and combination can vary, so the visual order after that verified three-device cascade is organizational rather than a claim of fixed wiring. Perry's 2026 interview independently confirms the original Klon as indispensable and compression at the start of his preferred path. Wah and Whammy controllers, the RJM control surfaces and amplifiers are omitted.
