Thomann's video identifies these effects in Fortus' live system, and Premier Guitar independently documents the 2017 touring rig. The display sequence follows the technician's walkthrough because neither source publishes a complete RJM loop map; it must not be read as one continuous serial cable path. The Mastermind controller and rack wah controller are control surfaces, so they are described but not inserted into the audio chain.
