Rory Gallagher

Gallagher's later live board ran from an always-on Dyna Comp through a TS808, BF-2 Flanger and OC-2 Octaver before the signal reached his multi-amplifier rig.

Documented equipment · Cable-traced order · Serial path

The order is traced directly from the right-to-left patch cables and labelled input/output jacks in the official photograph: Dyna Comp to TS808 to BF-2 to OC-2. The estate labels the photograph as a 1990s live rig, while Gallagher's August 1991 interview confirms the compressor, Tube Screamer and brown octaver. Delay and the DB-5 amplifier-routing unit documented in broader rigs are not inserted because they are outside this photographed four-pedal floorboard.
