Fuzz dominates: a Vox Tone Bender, two Big Muffs, Devi Ever noise boxes, Roger Mayer octaves, Whammys and delays. ## Signal chain **Order evidence — Reconstructed.** No source publishes this sequence; the order is reconstructed. 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 | Vox Tone Bender | One of the vintage-voiced fuzz colors on Shields' main switched board. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/vox-tone-bender/ | | 2 | HBE Power Screamer | Adds a selectable mid-forward overdrive voice to the main switching bank. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/hbe-power-screamer/ | | 3 | Boss DD-7 Digital Delay | Two identical units provide independently preset delay textures on the main board. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-dd-7-digital-delay/ | | 4 | Boss TW-1 T Wah | Provides an early Boss touch-wah response among Shields' filter options. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-tw-1-t-wah/ | | 5 | SIB Nick Nitro Fuzz Octave | Combines saturated fuzz and octave voices in one independently switchable main-board loop. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/sib-nick-nitro-fuzz-octave/ | | 6 | Roger Mayer Voodoo-1 | Supplies a smooth high-gain distortion voice on the main board. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/roger-mayer-voodoo-1/ | | 7 | DigiTech JamMan | Captures and replays phrases inside the main switched system. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/digitech-jamman/ | | 8 | Pete Cornish SS-3 | Adds a buffered low-to-medium-gain drive voice in the main rack-controlled array. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/pete-cornish-ss-3/ | | 9 | Boss AW-3 Dynamic Wah | Offers programmable vowel and envelope sweeps alongside the older TW-1 and FT-2. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-aw-3-dynamic-wah/ | | 10 | Pete Cornish ST-2 | Provides a separate Cornish gain and level-shaping loop on the main board. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/pete-cornish-st-2/ | | 11 | Death By Audio Supersonic Fuzz Gun | Creates unstable gated and self-oscillating fuzz textures on demand. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/death-by-audio-supersonic-fuzz-gun/ | | 12 | Devi Ever White Spider | Adds a compound high-gain noise voice to the main board's fuzz bank. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/devi-ever-white-spider/ | | 13 | MXR M109 Six Band Graphic EQ | Precisely reshapes whichever fuzz or drive combination the switching preset selects. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/mxr-m109-six-band-graphic-eq/ | | 14 | Boss DD-7 Digital Delay | Two identical units provide independently preset delay textures on the main board. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-dd-7-digital-delay/ | | 15 | Boss GE-7 Equalizer | Two units supply independently switchable EQ curves for different songs and amplifier paths. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-ge-7-equalizer/ | | 16 | Boss PN-2 Tremolo/Pan | Creates hard rhythmic gating or stereo panning within selected song presets. | Integrated board | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-pn-2-tremolo-pan/ | | 17 | Ibanez AD9 Analog Delay -

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. ## Questions ### What pedals did Kevin Shields use in 2008? This dated entry lists 44 units: Vox Tone Bender, HBE Power Screamer, Boss DD-7 Digital Delay, Boss TW-1 T Wah, SIB Nick Nitro Fuzz Octave, Roger Mayer Voodoo-1, DigiTech JamMan, Pete Cornish SS-3, Boss AW-3 Dynamic Wah, Pete Cornish ST-2, Death By Audio Supersonic Fuzz Gun, Devi Ever White Spider, MXR M109 Six Band Graphic EQ, Boss DD-7 Digital Delay, Boss GE-7 Equalizer, Boss PN-2 Tremolo/Pan, Ibanez AD9 Analog Delay - Keeley mod, Dr. Scientist Tremolessence V1, Electro-Harmonix Triangle Big Muff Pi, Electro-Harmonix Little Big Muff Pi, and 24 more listed in full above. 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 Kevin Shields'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 Kevin Shields's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 44 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Kevin Shields 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? My Bloody Valentine reunion tour, circa 2008. This is one dated setup as documented, not a career-wide gear list. ### How does the archive know what was on this pedalboard? 3 cited sources, listed above with the date each was read, including Effects Bay, Guitar World, Space Echo. Among them a photograph, an interview and an archive record. The units are recorded as reconstructed equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-07-18. ## Sources 3 cited sources across 3 independent groups. Two sources sharing an independent group report the same observation and count once. 1.
