The article prints the bass chorus model as BOSS CE-B without enough visual or catalog evidence to distinguish CE-2B from CEB-3, so that source wording is retained and the exact suffix is flagged unresolved. A separate expression pedal controlling DD-7 wet/dry mix is described as a controller rather than inserted into the serial audio placements. Krieger's 2010 and 2013 first-person interviews document the preceding BOSS ME-10 era, confirming that this later custom board must not be projected backward onto Doors recordings. ## Questions ### What pedals did Robby Krieger use in 2020?
