# Warren Haynes Pedalboard 2023: Full Gear & Pedal List > The 2023 Warren Haynes pedalboard, pedal by pedal: G-Lab WOWEE-WAH WH-1 Warren Haynes Signature and 11 more. Signal-chain order, settings and cited sources. - Canonical page: https://pedalboardarchive.com/artists/warren-haynes/govt-mule-ryman-rig-2023/ - 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 | Warren Haynes | | Board | Gov't Mule Ryman rack and floor rig | | Date | 2023-06-14 — June 14, 2023 (day precision) | | Context | Ryman Auditorium, Nashville | | Scope | Touring-period rig | | Signal path | 12 units · Guitar to amplifier | | Routing | Switchable effects loops | | Unit evidence | Documented | | Order evidence | Reconstructed | | Status | Artist-guided inventory - order reconstructed | | Audited | 2026-07-18 | | Sources | 2 | Warren Haynes kept two pedals at his feet at the Ryman in 2023 — his G-Lab signature wah and an Ernie Ball volume pedal — and ran ten more from a MIDI floorboard offstage, including a Klon Centaur, a Diaz Texas Ranger, a Rotosphere and an MXR Carbon Copy. ## 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. | # | Unit | Role | Zone | Unit evidence | Position evidence | Catalog page | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | G-Lab WOWEE-WAH WH-1 Warren Haynes Signature | Provides Haynes' foot-shaped vocal filter sweeps before the remotely switched rack effects. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/g-lab-wowee-wah-wh-1-warren-haynes-signature/ | | 2 | Emma DiscumBOBulator | Adds touch-sensitive filter movement for funkier articulations within the rack loops. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/emma-discumbobulator/ | | 3 | Boss OC-2 Octave | Adds one or two synthesized lower octaves for heavier single-note passages. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-oc-2-octave/ | | 4 | Diaz Texas Ranger | Pushes selected frequency bands into the amplifier; Haynes also uses its low setting for a dark, vocal lead color. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/diaz-texas-ranger/ | | 5 | Klon Centaur | Supplies Haynes' transparent gain and mid-forward push without replacing the amplifier's core voice. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/klon-centaur/ | | 6 | Boss GE-7 Equalizer | Provides a recallable tonal contour or level change from one of the switched rack loops. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/boss-ge-7-equalizer/ | | 7 | Custom Audio Electronics Super Tremolo | Provides the two-speed tremolo setup Haynes identifies as part of his core effects palette. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/custom-audio-electronics-super-tremolo/ | | 8 | Hughes & Kettner Rotosphere | Recreates the acceleration, swirl and harmonic movement of a rotating speaker cabinet. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/hughes-and-kettner-rotosphere/ | | 9 | Ernie Ball VP Jr. Volume Pedal (Black chassis) | Controls overall signal level and violin-like swells from Haynes' stage floor. | Front of amp | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/ernie-ball-vp-jr-volume-pedal/ | | 10 | MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay | Adds dark, short analog repeats alongside the rack's more flexible digital delay. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/mxr-carbon-copy/ | | 11 | DigiTech HardWire DL-8 Delay/Looper | Supplies multiple delay characters and longer repeats in the offstage effects rack. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/digitech-hardwire-dl-8-delay-looper/ | | 12 | G-Lab DR-3 Dual Reverb | Provides two independently set ambience sounds at the end of the reconstructed rack path. | Switching loop | Documented | Reconstructed | https://pedalboardarchive.com/pedals/g-lab-dr-3-dual-reverb/ | ## Reconstruction note Haynes personally demonstrates this live rig and Premier Guitar identifies every audio device on both rack shelves. His later first-person interview independently confirms the Centaur, stereo tremolo, octave, envelope filter, Texas Ranger, Rotosphere and delay section, although that later board uses an OC-5 instead of the photographed OC-2. No source publishes the rack loop map, so the order shown is an editorial reconstruction by effect function; shelf position is not treated as signal order. The MIDI controller and tuner are omitted because they do not add an audio effect. ## Questions ### What pedals did Warren Haynes use in 2023? This dated entry lists 12 units: G-Lab WOWEE-WAH WH-1 Warren Haynes Signature, Emma DiscumBOBulator, Boss OC-2 Octave, Diaz Texas Ranger, Klon Centaur, Boss GE-7 Equalizer, Custom Audio Electronics Super Tremolo, Hughes & Kettner Rotosphere, Ernie Ball VP Jr. Volume Pedal, MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay, DigiTech HardWire DL-8 Delay/Looper, G-Lab DR-3 Dual Reverb. 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 Warren Haynes'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 Warren Haynes's full guitar rig? No. This dated entry covers 12 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Warren Haynes 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? June 14, 2023. Ryman Auditorium, Nashville. This is the rig documented for that touring period, 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 Premier Guitar, American Musical Supply. Among them a rig rundown and an interview. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-07-18. ## Sources 2 cited sources across 2 independent groups. Two sources sharing an independent group report the same observation and count once. 1.
