# Tom Morello Pedalboard 2019: Whammy, Delays & Amp Loop > Tom Morello's 2019 pedalboard: Whammy WH-1, two DD-3 delays, wah, EQ, Phase 90 and Space Station. Amp-loop routing, roles and reconstructed order. - Canonical page: https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/tom-morello/long-term-rig-2019/ - 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 | Tom Morello | | Board | Long-term effects-loop board | | Date | 2019-02-13 — February 2019 (month precision) | | Context | The Atlas Underground tour rig rundown | | Scope | Exact board snapshot | | Signal path | 7 units · Guitar to amplifier | | Routing | Serial path | | Unit evidence | Documented | | Order evidence | Reconstructed | | Status | Documented 2019 board · reconstructed cable order | | Audited | 2026-07-18 | | Sources | 3 | Tom Morello's 2019 pedalboard puts seven effects units in the Marshall's effects loop: Cry Baby wah, DigiTech Whammy WH-1, two Boss DD-3 delays, DOD FX40B EQ, MXR Phase 90 and DigiTech XP300 Space Station. The DD-3s provide separate long and short delays; the EQ serves as a solo boost. The Atlas Underground rundown documents the units and loop routing, not every patch-cable connection. ## Signal chain **Order evidence — Reconstructed.** No source publishes this sequence; the order is reconstructed. 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 → amplifier input → FX send → Cry Baby Wah → Whammy WH-1 → DD-3 Digital Delay → DD-3 Digital Delay → FX40B Graphic EQ → Phase 90 → XP300 Space Station → FX return` | # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Cry Baby Wah | Starts Morello's compact effects chain inside the amplifier loop. | Amplifier loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/cry-baby-wah/ | | 2 | Whammy WH-1 | Creates Morello's octave leaps and dive-bomb gestures immediately after the wah. | Amplifier loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/digitech-whammy/ | | 3 | DD-3 Digital Delay | Supplies Morello's longer repeats after the pitch effects. | Amplifier loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-dd-3-digital-delay/ | | 4 | DD-3 Digital Delay | Adds a separate short-delay voice without changing the long-delay controls. | Amplifier loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-dd-3-digital-delay/ | | 5 | FX40B Graphic EQ | Acts primarily as a dependable solo-volume boost rather than a radical tonal EQ. | Amplifier loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/fx40b-graphic-eq/ | | 6 | Phase 90 | Closes the long-term board as a dedicated song-specific modulation voice. | Amplifier loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/mxr-phase-90/ | | 7 | XP300 Space Station | Adds song-specific pitch and modulation programs beyond the long-running core pedals. | Amplifier loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/xp300-space-station/ | ## Reconstruction note The 2019 video and Morello's interview document every audio unit shown here, including the Space Station. The sources confirm that the core effects run through the Marshall's effects loop, but do not narrate every patch cable; the displayed serial order follows the photographed long-term board and is marked reconstructed. Tuners and power supply are excluded because they are not effect stages. ## Questions ### What pedals did Tom Morello use in 2019? This dated entry lists 7 units: Cry Baby Wah, Whammy WH-1, DD-3 Digital Delay, DD-3 Digital Delay, FX40B Graphic EQ, Phase 90, XP300 Space Station. 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 Tom Morello'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 → amplifier input → FX send → Cry Baby Wah → Whammy WH-1 → DD-3 Digital Delay → DD-3 Digital Delay → FX40B Graphic EQ → Phase 90 → XP300 Space Station → FX return. ### Is this Tom Morello's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 7 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Tom Morello 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? February 2019. The Atlas Underground tour 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? 3 cited sources, listed above with the date each was read, including Premier Guitar, Guitar World. Among them a rig rundown, an interview and a written article. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-07-18. ## Sources 3 cited sources across 3 independent groups. Two sources sharing an independent group report the same observation and count once. 1.
