The eight loop pedals sit inside the Musicom Lab MKIII and are shown in the loop order the feature gives; the PolyTune Mini hangs off the switcher rather than sitting in the audio path, and is placed next to it for that reason. The Strymon Mobius appears twice because the feature assigns it both a pre path in loop three and a post path in the amplifier loop; it is one unit serving two points, not two pedals. MusicRadar independently documents a later Thorn rig and corroborates the Phase 90 and Koko Boost, but publishes no order for this board. Amplifiers, cabinets and guitars are omitted. ## Questions ### What pedals did Pete Thorn use in 2014? This dated entry lists 17 units: Mission Engineering Volume Pedal, Vertex Axis Wah, Musicom Lab EFX MKIII, TC Electronic PolyTune Mini, Suhr Koji Comp, Boss MO-2 Multi Overtone, Strymon Mobius, MXR Phase 90, Secret EFX Secret 1, Suhr Koko Boost, Crazy Tube Circuits Starlight Fuzz, Analog Man King of Tone, RJM Y-Not, Strymon Mobius, Eventide H9, Strymon TimeLine, Eventide H9. 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 Pete Thorn's pedals in? A cited source states the order. See the diagram and routing notes for the separate paths and any unconfirmed connections. ### Is this Pete Thorn's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 17 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Pete Thorn 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? Strymon pedalboard feature, July 2014. This is one dated setup as documented, not a career-wide gear list. ### How does the archive know what was on this pedalboard? 2 cited sources, listed above with the date each was read, including Strymon, MusicRadar. Among them an official listing and a written article. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-08-10. ## Sources 2 cited sources across 2 independent groups. Two sources sharing an independent group report the same observation and count once. 1. [Pedalboard Feature: Pete Thorn](https://www.strymon.net/waiting-pictures-pedalboard-feature-pete-thorn/) — Strymon (Primary source · official), published 2014-07-07, accessed 2026-08-10, independent group `strymon-thorn-2014`. Manufacturer pedalboard feature written from Thorn's own account of the rig. Publishes the whole signal path: a Mission volume pedal and Vertex Axis wah into a Musicom Lab MKIII switcher which feeds a PolyTune Mini, the eight switcher loops named in order, then an RJM Y-Not A/B box, then the amplifier effects loop carrying the Mobius post path, an Eventide H9 for pitch, a Strymon TimeLine and a second H9 for reverb, into two Suhr PT100 amplifiers. 2. [Pete Thorn offers a tour of his live summer guitar rig](https://www.musicradar.com/news/pete-thorn-rig-tour-2022) — MusicRadar (Specialist source · article), published 2022-08-04, accessed 2026-08-10, independent group `musicradar-thorn-2022`. Independent rig tour of a later setup. Names a 65 Amps Colour Boost, a Dunlop Echoplex, an MXR Script Phase 90, a Suhr KokoBoost and a Neural DSP Quad Cortex, corroborating the Phase 90 and the Koko Boost as long-running fixtures. Describes a different, later rig and publishes no order for the 2014 board. ## Related pages - Every documented board by Pete Thorn: [Pete Thorn board history](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/pete-thorn/) - [Guthrie Govan — Aristocrats and Steven Wilson rig](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/guthrie-govan/aristocrats-and-steven-wilson-2013/): shares Suhr Koko Boost, TC Electronic PolyTune Mini - [Richard Fortus — Guns N' Roses touring effects system](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/richard-fortus/not-in-this-lifetime-tour-2017/): shares Strymon TimeLine, MXR Phase 90 - [Billy Strings — Four-drawer MIDI touring board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/billy-strings/four-drawer-touring-board-2023/): shares Eventide H9 - [Chris Buck — Dual Schmidt Array touring system](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/chris-buck/schmidt-array-touring-system-2024/): shares Analog Man King of Tone - [Robben Ford — Vertex touring board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/robben-ford/vertex-touring-board-2014/): shares TC Electronic PolyTune Mini, Strymon TimeLine - [Josh Smith — Spaceship board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/josh-smith/spaceship-board-2021/): shares Eventide H9 - Previous board in archive order: [Paul Gilbert — Mr. Big split touring rig](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/paul-gilbert/mr-big-split-rig-2011/) - Next board in archive order: [Pete Townshend — Farewell tour Cornish three-circuit board](https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/pete-townshend/farewell-tour-cornish-board-2025/)
