Scott McKeonPedalboard, 2022
Scott McKeon's Tom Jones touring board puts an SM Fuzz and a Vemuram Jan Ray ahead of two four-loop switchers holding a Hudson Broadcast, a Nobels ODR-1, a Cali76, a Delay Llama and a Strymon Flint. The volume pedal sits after the gain so delays trail on.

Fulltone Clyde Standard Wah
Front of amp
Role in this rig
Supplies the rig's foot-swept wah, named by McKeon but not placed in the published order.
Named by McKeon in the same breath as the first switcher, but no source places it in the chain; the photographs show it on the floor beside the board.

Switched loop
Role in this rig
Loop one of the second switcher, setting dynamics after the drive section.
The source names an Origin Cali76 without stating which model in the range; the board photographs show a compact chassis but not a legible variant name.

Documented equipment · Documented order · Switchable effects loops
McKeon walks the board himself in Guitar World, naming the order from the SM Fuzz onward and listing the contents of both GigRig switchers; the overhead photograph published with the feature shows those loops labelled on the switchers themselves, and Dawner Prince published its own photograph of the same tour board five months earlier. The two switchers are drawn as the loop groups the artist describes rather than as units of their own. The Fulltone Clyde Standard wah is named in the same paragraph but never placed: both photographs show it on the floor beside the board rather than in a loop, so it is drawn where the source introduces it and its position is marked reconstructed. The PolyTune 2 tuner and the two Cioks DC10 supplies are omitted as utility devices, and the SM Octave Fuzz that McKeon used on the New Morning sessions is not on this board.
