Pedalboard / 062

Thurston Moore

Moore's compact solo-era board centers on the Turbo RAT and Metal Muff, stacking a discontinued octave fuzz for harsher textures and adding phase, flange, dual reverbs, warm boost and passive volume control.

Moore listed the board directly to Guitar World, saying the octave fuzz and Turbo RAT are placed together and frequently combined; a later independent Guitar Magazine interview and 2017 board photograph corroborate the central drive, phase, reverb and volume choices. The displayed order preserves the explicitly adjacent octave-fuzz/RAT pair, then groups the remaining effects conventionally because the complete cable path was not published. The tuner is omitted as a utility. Guitar Magazine's 2017 photograph shows a Corona Mini where the 2021 interview names a Vortex Mini, so this dated entry follows Moore's 2021 inventory rather than merging the two boards.
