Mentioned in the July 1980 issue of Guitar Player, with the details summarized in this March 13, 2009 Gibson article.

Guitar Player, July 1980, "British Rock Guitar Veteran"

From your left to right, how is your pedalboard currently set up?

The first effect is a preamp that Mike built, which is on all the time. The second is another volume booster, a Dan Armstrong Red Ranger, which I use for even greater sustain. Third is my Tycobrahe wah-wah. The fourth is the Fender Blender. The fifth is the Univibe, and the sixth is a Mu-tron II. The seventh and eighth are Mistresses with different settings; the one on the left gives a double-tracking effect, while the one on the right provides more of a flanged sound. But I think I've come to a halt as far as effects go. I mean, I can just barely handle what I've got now. There's so much stuff going on that if you just started mixing them there would be a limitless number of combinations you could get.

From your pedalboard, where does the signal go?

Into a splitter box, then to my amps. I don't use a mixing board or anything when I'm live because I like to be very much in control of what's going on. Especially concerning dynamics, that's so much a part of my music that I wouldn't feel happy if someone else were controlling it. I like to be creating the sound.

Gibson, "How To Get That Robin Trower Sound", March 13, 2009

Trower’s hottest rig blasted his array of Strats through a pair of 100-watt Marshall JMP-100 Mark II heads feeding two 1960-B 4x12 cabs and had an impressive effects chain on the floor: custom preamp and clean booster pedals, a Dan Armstrong Red Ranger treble booster, a Tychobrahe wah-wah, an octave/fuzz Fender Blender, a Uni-Vibe chorus/vibrato, Mutron II phase shifter, and two Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistresses.
