Johnny Marr toured Call the Comet in 2018 on one box: a deeply programmed Boss GT-100. It holds his analogue studio recipes as presets, so he can change sound per song without leaving the microphone.

## Signal chain

**Order evidence — Source-described.** A source states the sequence.

`Guitar → GT-100 Amp Effects Processor → amplifier`

| # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page |

| 1 | GT-100 Amp Effects Processor | Recreates Marr's programmed studio effects and song-specific transitions as a single live audio-processing unit. | Front of amp | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/gt-100-amp-effects-processor/ |

## Reconstruction note

Marr independently described the GT-100 live workflow to Premier Guitar and Roland/BOSS. The processor contains virtual drive, delay, modulation and other blocks whose internal order changes by patch, so this archive correctly represents the physical audio unit rather than inventing one universal internal chain. The two small external up/down controls are remote switches and are omitted.
