Guitar tech Justin Stabler supplied the board photograph and complete 2024 effect inventory, identifying the M5 units by their positions before and after the preamplifier and confirming separate outputs to the Trainwreck, Komet and Leslie. Anastasio's own 2021 video independently demonstrates and discusses the core Tube Screamers, Ross, Klon, dual M5 architecture and looping approach. Because the Bradshaw controller selects loops and the article does not publish its internal loop map, the display groups effects by function rather than claiming one always-active serial order. MIDI control, balanced-line drivers, power supplies and amp-output routing are omitted as utilities.
No source publishes this sequence. The units are ordered by conventional signal-chain practice, and any documented routing zone is kept as recorded.

MethodologyQuestions about Trey Anastasio's 2024 pedalboard
- What pedals did Trey Anastasio use in 2024?
- This dated entry lists 11 units: CAE/Dunlop MC404 Wah, DigiTech Whammy II, Line 6 M5 Stompbox Modeler - Pre, Klon Centaur, Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer - Less, Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer - More, Ross Compressor, NuX Voodoo Vibe, Way Huge Supa-Puss Analog Delay, Line 6 M5 Stompbox Modeler - Post, Boomerang Phrase Sampler. 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 Trey Anastasio'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. See the diagram and routing notes for the separate paths and any unconfirmed connections.
- Is this Trey Anastasio's full guitar rig?
- No. This dated entry covers 11 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Trey Anastasio 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?
- Post-Sphere rig, September 2024. Phish 2024 touring rig. 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 Guitar World, JamBase. Among them a rig rundown. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-07-18.
