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 | Moog Minifooger MF Delay | Provides dark analog echoes and modulation from Fogerty's first offstage effects drawer. | Rack insert | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/moog-minifooger-mf-delay/ | | 2 | Strymon El Capistan | Adds adjustable tape-style repeats, wow and flutter in the first rack drawer. | Rack insert | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/strymon-el-capistan/ | | 3 | SolidGoldFX Surf Rider | Supplies splashy vintage spring ambience from Fogerty's first offstage drawer. | Rack insert | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/solidgoldfx-surf-rider/ | | 4 | Zeta Systems Vibrato/Tremolo | Recreates the blended vibrato/tremolo character Fogerty admired in his original Kustom amplifier. | Rack insert | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/zeta-systems-vibrato-tremolo/ | | 5 | Electro-Harmonix Small Clone | Adds wide analog chorus modulation in the first effects drawer. | Rack insert | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/electro-harmonix-small-clone/ | | 6 | Wren and Cuff Box of War | Provides Fogerty's saturated, sustaining fuzz voice from the second rack drawer. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/wren-and-cuff-box-of-war/ | | 7 | Xotic RC Booster | Three physical RC Boosters provide independently switchable gain and EQ levels for different guitars and songs. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/xotic-rc-booster/ | | 8 | Xotic RC Booster | Three physical RC Boosters provide independently switchable gain and EQ levels for different guitars and songs. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/xotic-rc-booster/ | | 9 | Xotic RC Booster | Three physical RC Boosters provide independently switchable gain and EQ levels for different guitars and songs. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/xotic-rc-booster/ | | 10 | Boss RV-5 Digital Reverb | Adds a compact selectable reverb voice in Fogerty's second rack drawer. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-rv-5-digital-reverb/ | | 11 | Voodoo Lab Tremolo | Provides conventional amplitude pulses alongside the rarer Zeta vibrato/tremolo unit. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/voodoo-lab-tremolo/ | | 12 | Strymon BigSky | Supplies programmable large-space reverbs in the Cornford amplifier's effects loop. | Amplifier loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/strymon-bigsky/ | ## Reconstruction note Guitar technician Dave Whiston presented the rig to Premier Guitar before the May 3 Nashville show. A later photo feature inventories both drawers, while Fogerty's own 2015 gear interview independently confirms the Minifooger delay, Surf Rider and Zeta unit. The three RC Boosters labeled Moe, Larry and Curly are preserved as three physical placements rather than collapsed into one. Whiston switches the rack from offstage and the internal loop map was not published, so drawer positions are shown without asserting serial order. Power supplies are omitted. The BigSky is specifically documented in the Cornford MK50H effects loop. ## Questions ### What pedals did John Fogerty use in 2015?

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 John Fogerty'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 John Fogerty's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 12 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear John Fogerty 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? The Woods Amphitheater, May 3, 2015. The Woods Amphitheater at Fontanel, Nashville. This is one dated setup as documented, not a career-wide gear list. ### How does the archive know what was on this pedalboard? 3 cited sources, listed above with the date each was read, including Premier Guitar. Among them a rig rundown, a photograph and an interview. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-07-18. ## Sources 3 cited sources across 3 independent groups. Two sources sharing an independent group report the same observation and count once. 1.
