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 → BOSS TU-2 → Fulltone Deja'Vibe → Fulltone Full-Drive → Fulltone WahFull (custom) → amplifier` | # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | BOSS TU-2 | Provides tuning and buffering. | — | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-tu-2/ | | 2 | Fulltone Deja'Vibe | Supplies the signature pulsing modulation voice. | — | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/fulltone-deja-vibe/ | | 3 | Fulltone Full-Drive | Provides the main overdrive and level lift. | — | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/fulltone-full-drive/ | | 4 | Fulltone WahFull (custom) | Adds a preset cocked-wah voice without a treadle. | — | Reconstructed | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/fulltone-wahfull-custom/ | ## Reconstruction note The Premier Guitar video identifies and demonstrates all four effects, but does not provide a jack-level trace. The display uses Trower documented vibe-before-drive practice and leaves the custom WahFull final position explicitly reconstructed. Vintage Guitar independently establishes the long-running DejaVibe, Full-Drive and wah vocabulary without importing pedals from its earlier era. ## Questions ### What pedals did Robin Trower use in 2018? This dated entry lists 4 units: BOSS TU-2, Fulltone Deja'Vibe, Fulltone Full-Drive, Fulltone WahFull (custom). 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 Robin Trower'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 → BOSS TU-2 → Fulltone Deja'Vibe → Fulltone Full-Drive → Fulltone WahFull (custom) → amplifier. ### Is this Robin Trower's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 4 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Robin Trower 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? March 28, 2018. Premier Guitar Rig Rundown. This is one dated setup as documented, not a career-wide gear list. ### How does the archive know what was on this pedalboard? 2 cited sources, listed above with the date each was read, including Premier Guitar, Vintage Guitar. Among them a rig rundown and an interview. The units are recorded as reconstructed equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-08-03. ## Sources 2 cited sources across 2 independent groups. Two sources sharing an independent group report the same observation and count once. 1.
