John Frusciante

Frusciante's compact rehearsal setup retained his signature wah, distortion and stereo chorus while adding compression, two MXR gain colors and short and long room reverbs.

Frusciante personally identifies the key pedals shown on the rehearsal board and explains their uses; guitar tech Dave Lee independently confirms the CE-1 and DS-2 as cornerstone effects and the CE-1 as the stereo amplifier split. The interview does not trace every patch cable, so the display groups dynamics, gain, wah, stereo chorus and ambience in a readable reconstructed order. The two identical reverbs are kept separate because the artist explicitly describes one short, nearly always-on room and one longer reverb.
