Pedalboard / 047
Neil Young
Young's red control box accessed a tube spring reverb, vintage octave divider, AC analog delay, compact flanger and Echoplex while the Whizzer physically set the saturated tweed Deluxe.

Longtime tech Larry Cragg identifies every named effect in and around the 2009 red board, the four Whizzer preset buttons, reverb kill, loop bypass, mute and an unidentified 'ugly button.' The Whizzer and utility switches are omitted because they control the amp or routing rather than process audio, and the unknown unit behind the ugly button is not guessed. The source enumerates effects but does not trace their internal connections, so the display order is reconstructed. Young's independent 1992 interview confirms that the overdrive comes from the Deluxe itself rather than a distortion pedal.
