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. `Guitar → Boss TU-3 → JHS Clover → JAM Pedals Wahcko → Vemuram Jan Ray → Browne Amplification Carbon X → Vemuram Las Lunas → Unidentified volume/expression pedal → JAM Pedals RetroVibe mk.3 → Strymon El Capistan → Neunaber Illumine → amplifier` | # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Boss TU-3 | Opens the reconstructed chain and mutes the rig for silent tuning between songs. | Front of amp | Visually identified | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-tu-3/ | | 2 | JHS Clover | Sits at the front of the chain as an always-on preamp, setting the input voicing before the wah and the drives. | Front of amp | Visually identified | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/jhs-clover/ | | 3 | JAM Pedals Wahcko | The only filter on the board, placed after the preamp and ahead of the gain stages. | Front of amp | Visually identified | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/jam-pedals-wahcko/ | | 4 | Vemuram Jan Ray | The lowest-gain of the three drives, taken first in the reconstructed gain block. | Front of amp | Visually identified | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/vemuram-jan-ray/ | | 5 | Browne Amplification Carbon X | The middle drive stage, with two independently footswitchable channels to stack or swap. | Front of amp | Visually identified | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/browne-amplification-carbon-x/ | | 6 | Vemuram Las Lunas | The highest-gain of the three drives, taken last in the reconstructed gain block. | Front of amp | Visually identified | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/vemuram-las-lunas/ | | 7 | Unidentified volume/expression pedal | Sits after the gain block so swells and level rides carry the modulation, delay and reverb behind it. | Front of amp | Unresolved | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/unidentified-volume-expression-pedal/ | | 8 | JAM Pedals RetroVibe mk.3 | The board's only modulation, taken after the volume pedal and ahead of the delay. | Front of amp | Visually identified | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/jam-pedals-retrovibe-mk-3/ | | 9 | Strymon El Capistan | Carries the repeats, placed after the vibe and before the reverb. | Front of amp | Visually identified | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/strymon-el-capistan/ | | 10 | Neunaber Illumine | Closes the chain, running the ambient tail into the amplifier. | Front of amp | Visually identified | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/neunaber-illumine/ | ### Identification notes - **7. Unidentified volume/expression pedal:** No maker's mark is legible on this treadle in the frame, and its black shell, light ribbed plate and knurled brass heel fitting match no catalogued compact volume pedal. It is placed by position, not identified. - **8. JAM Pedals RetroVibe mk.3:** The daisy artwork, the D/C/V/S legends along the top edge and the single footswitch are the stock mk.3 face rather than a one-off paint job: the two-footswitch mk.4 sits in a landscape enclosure, and the WaterFall carries two toggles where this has one. ## Reconstruction note One overhead photograph carries this board: Asato posted it on 29 July 2026, the day before the first of two sold-out Manila shows at Aster, Mandala Park, on his 2026 world tour. The post has since been removed and no archive holds it, so the board rests on a dated capture of that frame and is marked single-source. Nine of the ten units are identified from their own graphics — the Vemuram, Browne, Strymon and BOSS wordmarks are legible, and the RetroVibe's daisy face, D/C/V/S legends and single footswitch are the stock mk.3 rather than a custom paint job. The volume treadle carries no legible branding and stays unidentified: it is a short black shell with a light ribbed plate and a knurled brass fitting at the heel, which matches none of the compacts checked against it. No cabling is visible beyond the power run, so the order is reconstructed: it follows the archive's published convention and, where the convention is silent, the shortest cable route through the two rows — in at the back-right tuner, down to the Clover, right to left along the front row through the wah and the three drives to the treadle, then across to the vibe and left along the back row through the delay to the reverb. Two partly hidden coloured shapes sit behind the wah in the frame; they are the Wahcko's own yellow-to-teal toe section rather than further pedals, so no eleventh or twelfth unit is published. The power supply is omitted as a utility device; nothing else standing on the board is left out. ## Questions ### What pedals did Mateus Asato use in 2026? This dated entry lists 10 units: Boss TU-3, JHS Clover, JAM Pedals Wahcko, Vemuram Jan Ray, Browne Amplification Carbon X, Vemuram Las Lunas, Unidentified volume/expression pedal, JAM Pedals RetroVibe mk.3, Strymon El Capistan, Neunaber Illumine. 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 Mateus Asato'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: Guitar → Boss TU-3 → JHS Clover → JAM Pedals Wahcko → Vemuram Jan Ray → Browne Amplification Carbon X → Vemuram Las Lunas → Unidentified volume/expression pedal → JAM Pedals RetroVibe mk.3 → Strymon El Capistan → Neunaber Illumine → amplifier. ### Is this Mateus Asato's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 10 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Mateus Asato 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? July 29, 2026. World Tour 2026, Manila. This is one dated setup as documented, not a career-wide gear list. ### How does the archive know what was on this pedalboard? One cited source, listed above with the date each was read, including Instagram. Among them a photograph. The units are recorded as visually identified equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-09-01. ## Sources 1 cited source across 1 independent group. Two sources sharing an independent group report the same observation and count once. 1. [Pedalboard photograph posted on the eve of the Manila shows](https://www.instagram.com/mateusasato/) — Mateus Asato, Instagram (Primary source · photograph), published 2026-07-29, accessed 2026-07-29, independent group `asato-instagram-2026`. An overhead frame of the World Tour 2026 board, posted by Asato himself in a carousel captioned "After 6 years, it's time to do it again. Manila, you first." the day before the first of two sold-out Manila shows. The post was read and captured on the day it appeared; it is no longer on the profile and no public archive holds a copy, so this record rests on that dated capture. Every unit below is identified from the frame itself: no caption, comment or interview names a single pedal, and no cabling is visible. ## Related pages - Every documented board by Mateus Asato: [Mateus Asato board history](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/mateus-asato/) - [Scott McKeon — Tom Jones touring board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/scott-mckeon/tom-jones-touring-board-2022/): shares Vemuram Jan Ray - [John Fogerty — Two-drawer offstage effects rack](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/john-fogerty/two-drawer-offstage-effects-rack-2015/): shares Strymon El Capistan - [Kenny Wayne Shepherd — 2012 touring board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/kenny-wayne-shepherd/kenny-wayne-shepherd-tour-board-2012/): shares Boss TU-3 - [Noel Gallagher — Official board photograph](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/noel-gallagher/official-board-photograph-2025/): shares Strymon El Capistan - [Tyler Bryant — Shakedown touring board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/tyler-bryant/shakedown-board-2018/): shares Boss TU-3 - [Doyle Bramhall II — Clapton Japan tour board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/doyle-bramhall-ii/clapton-japan-tour-board-2023/): no shared unit; a comparable signal path (Tuner, Reverb & Ambience, Routing & Control, Filter & EQ, Modulation, Delay & Echo, Gain) - Previous board in archive order: [Mark Speer — Khruangbin touring board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/mark-speer/khruangbin-touring-board-2018/) - Next board in archive order: [Mateus Asato — Six-pedal travel board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/mateus-asato/six-pedal-travel-board/)
