Premier Guitar separates the acoustic and electric effects and names all six audio effects shown here, but it does not publish a cable trace. The displayed sequence follows the article's electric-effects list after omitting the Switchazel A/B box and tuner as utilities. The exact Fulltone tremolo, POG generation and Ernie Ball volume model are not identified. Thompson's 2015 interview independently confirms Fulltone tremolo and OCD as touring choices; Vintage Guitar identifies a Dunlop rotary-speaker pedal as a Ship to Shore studio effect that Thompson explicitly would not rely on for touring, so it is not merged into 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.

MethodologyQuestions about Richard Thompson's 2024 pedalboard
- What pedals did Richard Thompson use in 2024?
- This dated entry lists 6 units: Fulltone OCD, Fulltone tremolo pedal (model unspecified), Catalinbread Echorec, Analog Man Sweet Sound MojoVibe, Electro-Harmonix POG (generation unspecified), Ernie Ball volume pedal (model unspecified). 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 Richard Thompson's pedals in?
- The complete order is reconstructed, not observed. The layout follows the cited routing constraints and the archive's signal-chain convention where the sources are silent: Guitar → Fulltone OCD → Fulltone tremolo pedal (model unspecified) → Catalinbread Echorec → Analog Man Sweet Sound MojoVibe → Electro-Harmonix POG (generation unspecified) → Ernie Ball volume pedal (model unspecified) → amplifier.
- Is this Richard Thompson's full guitar rig?
- No. This dated entry covers 6 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Richard Thompson 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?
- Ship to Shore touring rig, June 2024. Richard Thompson electric shows. This is the rig documented for that touring period, not a career-wide gear list.
- How does the archive know what was on this pedalboard?
- 3 cited sources, listed above with the date each was read, including Premier Guitar, Vintage Guitar. Among them an interview. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-07-18.
