Signal-chain order, settings and cited sources. - Canonical page: https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/joe-walsh/eagles-staples-center-board-2006/ - Machine-readable index of the archive: https://pedalboardarchive.com/llms.txt - Evidence and reconstruction conventions: https://pedalboardarchive.com/methodology/ ## At a glance | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Artist | Joe Walsh | | Board | Eagles Staples Center touring board | | Date | 2006-01-01 — Eagles tour, 2006 (year precision) | | Context | Staples Center, Los Angeles | | Scope | Exact board snapshot | | Signal path | 9 units · Guitar to amplifier | | Routing | Serial path | | Unit evidence | Documented | | Order evidence | Reconstructed | | Status | Artist-documented and photographed board - order reconstructed | | Audited | 2026-07-18 | | Sources | 2 | Joe Walsh's 2006 Eagles board is mostly Boss compacts: a Dunlop 535Q wah, a CS-3 compressor, an OD-3 and OS-2, a PS-5 pitch shifter, a BF-3 flanger, a CE-5 chorus and a DD-3 delay, plus the Heil Talk Box on its own amplifier. ## Signal chain **Order evidence — Reconstructed.** No source publishes this sequence; the order is reconstructed. 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 | Dunlop 535Q Cry Baby Multi-Wah | Provides foot-swept filtering before the compact effects array. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/cry-baby-wah/ | | 2 | Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer | Evens attack and extends sustain before Walsh's gain and modulation effects. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-cs-3-compression-sustainer/ | | 3 | Boss OD-3 OverDrive | Adds a second, independently voiced gain stage to Walsh's touring board. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-od-3-overdrive/ | | 4 | Boss OS-2 OverDrive/Distortion | Walsh named the OS-2 among the pedals receiving the most use on the Eagles stage. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-os-2-overdrive-distortion/ | | 5 | Boss PS-5 Super Shifter | Covers several song-specific pitch effects; Walsh manually changed between three or four settings during the show. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-ps-5-super-shifter/ | | 6 | Boss BF-3 Flanger | Supplies the comb-filtered sweep in Walsh's Eagles touring effects palette. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-bf-3-flanger/ | | 7 | Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble | Provides chorus and widening textures on the 2006 Eagles board. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-ce-5-chorus-ensemble/ | | 8 | Boss DD-3 Digital Delay | Walsh's preferred live delay and one of the three pedals he said received the most stage use. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-dd-3-digital-delay/ | | 9 | Heil Talk Box (Black enclosure) | Creates Walsh's signature vocal-shaped guitar sound for "Rocky Mountain Way." | External board loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/heil-talk-box/ | ## Reconstruction note BOSS photographed Walsh's board at the Staples Center and Walsh directly identified the PS-5, DD-3 and OS-2 as his most-used pedals, explaining the PS-5's changing live presets and the CUBE-driven talk box. Reverb's later gear history names the complete nine-pedal BOSS inventory, matching the colors and layouts in the official photograph. The visual sequence is a functional reconstruction because neither source traces the patch cables. The PSM-5 power/master switch, LS-2 line selector, rack tuner, wireless, power supply and switching hardware are documented but omitted as utilities. ## Questions ### What pedals did Joe Walsh use in 2006? This dated entry lists 9 units: Dunlop 535Q Cry Baby Multi-Wah, Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer, Boss OD-3 OverDrive, Boss OS-2 OverDrive/Distortion, Boss PS-5 Super Shifter, Boss BF-3 Flanger, Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble, Boss DD-3 Digital Delay, Heil Talk Box. 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 Walsh'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 Walsh's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 9 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Joe Walsh 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? Eagles tour, 2006. Staples Center, Los Angeles. 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 BOSS, Reverb. Among them an interview and a written article. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-07-18. ## Sources 2 cited sources across 2 independent groups.
