# Robert Quine Pedalboard 2004: Full Gear & Pedal List > The 2004 Robert Quine pedalboard, pedal by pedal: BOSS TU-2 Chromatic Tuner, Maxon OD808 Overdrive and 2 more. Signal-chain order, settings and cited sources. - Canonical page: https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/robert-quine/lean-live-chain-2004/ - Machine-readable index of the archive: https://pedalboardarchive.com/llms.txt - Evidence and reconstruction conventions: https://pedalboardarchive.com/methodology/ ## At a glance | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Artist | Robert Quine | | Board | Lean live chain | | Date | 2004-01-01 — 2004 interview-era live chain (year precision) | | Context | Robert Quine live rig | | Scope | Touring-period rig | | Signal path | 4 units · Guitar to amplifier | | Routing | Serial path | | Unit evidence | Documented | | Order evidence | Source-described | | Status | Artist-described numbered signal chain | | Audited | 2026-07-18 | | Sources | 2 | Robert Quine's live chain in 2004 was four boxes in a numbered order: a Boss TU-2 tuner into one or both of a Maxon OD808 and a Prescription Yardbox fuzz, then an EHX Deluxe Memory Man. ## Signal chain **Order evidence — Source-described.** A source states the sequence. `Guitar → BOSS TU-2 Chromatic Tuner → Maxon OD808 Overdrive → Prescription Electronics Yardbox → Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man → amplifier` | # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | BOSS TU-2 Chromatic Tuner | First device after the guitar in Quine's explicitly numbered live chain. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-tu-2-chromatic-tuner/ | | 2 | Maxon OD808 Overdrive | One selectable gain voice in the live chain, used alone or together with the Yardbox. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/maxon-od808-overdrive/ | | 3 | Prescription Electronics Yardbox | Quine's favorite fuzz and the second optional gain voice before the Memory Man. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/prescription-electronics-yardbox/ | | 4 | Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man | Final effect before the amplifier in Quine's live chain and his irreplaceable long-term delay. | Integrated board | Documented | Documented | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/deluxe-memory-man/ | ## Reconstruction note Quine explicitly numbers the live order as guitar, TU-2, Tube Screamer and/or Yardbox, Deluxe Memory Man, amplifier. The display places both gain boxes inside that documented gain position; their left-to-right order is only a readable representation because Quine says they could be used individually or together and does not specify which came first when stacked. His May 2002 Vintage Guitar interview independently names the same tuner, Yardbox, Deluxe Memory Man and Maxon OD808 preference, while distinguishing additional recording tools from the lean live chain. ## Questions ### What pedals did Robert Quine use in 2004?
