Premier Guitar's on-camera Rig Rundown identifies these three exact effects in McLaughlin's 2010 touring setup but does not publish a cable trace. The display follows the conventional gain-before-modulation-before-delay order and is therefore marked reconstructed. McLaughlin independently told Vintage Guitar that he still used the same Twin Classic option plus MXR chorus and delay in 2017; the later interview corroborates the device family but is not used to add later backup preamps to this dated board.
