Pedalboard / 048
Pete Townshend
Townshend's custom board reduced the electric path to a compressor, early overdrive and digital delay, all removed from their original boxes and integrated by Pete Cornish.

Documented equipment · Reconstructed order · Serial path
Tech Simon Law opens the 2025 system and identifies the three effect circuits inside the custom Cornish board. Townshend independently named the same compressor, OD-1 and T-Rex delay in 2010, demonstrating unusually long continuity. Neither source publishes the internal wire order, so the conventional compression, drive and delay sequence is marked reconstructed. The upstream three-way split, buffer, power supply, utility switching and duplicate backup board are omitted.
