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. ## Questions ### What pedals did Joe Perry use in 2024?
