# John Frusciante Pedalboard 2022: Full Gear & Pedal List > The 2022 John Frusciante pedalboard, pedal by pedal: Dyna Comp, SD-1 Super OverDrive and 7 more.

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 | Dyna Comp | Adds clean sustain and a more elastic response when a part needs it. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/dyna-comp/ | | 2 | SD-1 Super OverDrive | Gives Frusciante a powerful but less extreme drive voice than the DS-2. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/sd-1-super-overdrive/ | | 3 | DS-2 Turbo Distortion | Supplies the more aggressive distortion voice that remains one of his two essential stompboxes. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/ds-2-turbo-distortion/ | | 4 | Super Badass Variac Fuzz | Creates hairy solos and heavier chorus or overdub textures. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/super-badass-variac-fuzz/ | | 5 | Custom Badass '78 Distortion | Adds a second MXR distortion color alongside the fuzz and compact overdrives. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/custom-badass-78-distortion/ | | 6 | WH10 Wah | Provides the expressive vocal filter retained from his earlier Chili Peppers rigs. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/wh10-wah/ | | 7 | CE-1 Chorus Ensemble | Shapes the core preamp response and splits the guitar in stereo to the Marshall Major and Silver Jubilee. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/ce-1-chorus-ensemble/ | | 8 | M300 Reverb · Short Room | Adds subtle rehearsal-room space and was kept on almost continuously. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/m300-reverb-short-room/ | | 9 | M300 Reverb · Long | Provides the broader ambience that the short-room unit cannot supply. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/m300-reverb-long/ | ## Reconstruction note 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. ## Questions ### What pedals did John Frusciante use in 2022? This dated entry lists 9 units: Dyna Comp, SD-1 Super OverDrive, DS-2 Turbo Distortion, Super Badass Variac Fuzz, Custom Badass '78 Distortion, WH10 Wah, CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, M300 Reverb · Short Room, M300 Reverb · Long. 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 Frusciante'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 Frusciante's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 9 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear John Frusciante 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? Early 2022. Red Hot Chili Peppers rehearsals. 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 Guitar World, BOSS Articles. Among them an interview. 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. Two sources sharing an independent group report the same observation and count once. 1.
