Shields' reunion system spread dozens of fuzz, octave, filter, EQ, modulation, delay and looping devices across a main board, a secondary board and a dedicated "You Made Me Realise" noise board, all selected through remote switching.

Effects Bay preserves close photographs attributed to the 2008 reunion and maps every visible position; its identification list was built from the images and later community corrections, so this entry is marked reconstructed rather than treating every label as technician-confirmed. Shields independently explains that the reunion-era switching system let him carry roughly 50 pedals while normally activating only two to four, and confirms that the "You Made Me Realise" middle section had its own changing eight-to-twelve-pedal board dominated by Octavia-type effects. The numbers below preserve physical board groups, not signal flow. The photographed power/MIDI boxes, switch controller and power distribution are omitted as utilities.
