That Pedal Show labels its list as signal-flow order. The 1980s TS9 and 1981 TS808 are alternatives in separate Keeley true-bypass loops, so they are represented as one selectable stage rather than falsely placed in series. The show-specific Fender Vibratone is not generalized into Sayce touring board. MusicRadar independently documents the earlier persistence of the Vox wah, Diaz fuzz and TS808 vocabulary.
