The Chief's Guitars worked the inventory up from Gallagher's own official photograph of the board and published the units in the order they sit on it. Ground Guitar, compiling from Gallagher's 2023 That Pedal Show interview, Guitar Player in 2000 and MusicRadar in 2011, independently confirms the Kingsley Page boost, the SIB Echodrive and the Boss DD-3 as long-running fixtures, and records that the Echodrive is used for its drive section rather than its delay. The TC Electronic PolyTune 3 is omitted as a tuner. Board layout is not the same as a traced cable order, so the sequence here follows the physical arrangement rather than a published signal path. Earlier eras named by Ground Guitar, including the Roland Space Echo and the Ibanez TS-808, are not on this board.
No source publishes this sequence. The units are ordered by conventional signal-chain practice, and any documented routing zone is kept as recorded.
