Richard Thompson's 2024 Ship to Shore electric rig is six pedals: a Fulltone OCD, a Fulltone tremolo, a Catalinbread Echorec, an Analog Man MojoVibe, an EHX POG and an Ernie Ball volume pedal.

## Signal chain

**Order evidence — Reconstructed.** No source publishes this sequence; the order is reconstructed. The units are evidenced; their sequence is the archive's inference from the convention below, not an observation. Do not report this order as documented.

Reconstruction convention: Tuner → Wah and filter → Compressor → Overdrive, distortion and fuzz → Modulation → Delay → Reverb → Amplifier. A documented routing zone always overrides it.

`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`

| # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Fulltone OCD | Supplies Thompson's touring electric overdrive and preserves the articulate attack of his hybrid-picked lines. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/fulltone-ocd/ |
| 2 | Fulltone tremolo pedal (model unspecified) | Provides pedal-based tremolo when Thompson is not using an amplifier's onboard tremolo. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/fulltone-tremolo-pedal-model-unspecified/ |
| 3 | Catalinbread Echorec | Creates rhythmic and ambient echo patterns in Thompson's 2024 electric rig. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/catalinbread-echorec/ |
| 4 | Analog Man Sweet Sound MojoVibe | Adds the deep, asymmetric modulation associated with Thompson's more animated electric textures. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/analog-man-sweet-sound-mojovibe/ |
| 5 | Electro-Harmonix POG (generation unspecified) | Extends Thompson's electric guitar above and below its natural register for organ-like or doubled textures. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/electro-harmonix-pog-generation-unspecified/ |
| 6 | Ernie Ball volume pedal (model unspecified) | Controls level and permits swells at the end of the documented electric-effects list. | Integrated board | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/ernie-ball-volume-pedal-model-unspecified/ |

## Reconstruction note

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.

## Questions

### 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.
