Rig builder
Chain them the wayyou would run them
It checks the signal order, sizes a power supply, and prices the whole board against what is in stock right now. Start empty, or load one of the documented rigs.
Start from a board that made a record
23 documented rigs. Pick one to load it, then swap any pedal for what is actually in stock. Gear history assembled from interviews, rig rundowns and live photography, not an endorsement by anyone listed.

Vox V846 Wah
In front of the fuzz, where its sweep shapes what the fuzz gets rather than filtering the distortion after the fact.

Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face
The core sound. Germanium early on, silicon later, and cleaning up almost entirely on the guitar's volume knob.

A four-stage phase circuit built to fake a rotating speaker, which failed at that and became its own sound instead.

Signal chain
Nothing out of the ordinary. This runs in the order most players would expect, which mostly means it will behave predictably rather than that it is the only right answer.
The conventional order is a convention, not a rule. Fuzz after a wah, delay into distortion and reverb first are all deliberate, recorded choices. Nothing here moves your board on its own.
Power
- Estimated draw
- ~150mA
- Isolated outputs
- 4
- Supply to look for
- 300mA+
1 of these draw enough to want an output of their own rather than a daisy chain.
These are typical draws for each kind of effect, not the spec of these exact pedals. Check the maker's own figure before you buy a supply.
What this board costs
Not enough data to price it
4 not priced at all, and not included in the total.
A pedal with no price here is not out of production. It just is not currently for sale from any of the stores this site tracks, and the feeds that are live carry small independent makers rather than the legacy brands most documented rigs are built from. Know a shop that should be here?
Availability and prices come from the same live feeds as the rest of the site, so this is what is actually in stock right now rather than a catalogue snapshot. A pedal with no stores listed is not out of production: it just is not currently for sale from anyone we track. Artist rigs are documented gear history assembled from interviews, rig rundowns and live photography, and no artist or band listed is affiliated with Gear Avail.
