  • Boss SD1

As you can see there is the 3 triangular knobbed SD-1 at the back. Next to the SD-1 is the Pearl Graphic EQ. During the next tour it becomes apparent that the two are linked together for WOWY Infinite Sustain (thanks to Bradshaws later Zoo TV Rig photos which i will post further down)

Well its the same pedals as the tour before, only he added a crazy amount of rack units

This picture is from CAE during the actual building of the rig, note the pedals were put into the TC2290 loops and labelled TC1, TC2 etc If your eagle eyed you can see the Boss SD-1 and Pearl Graphic EQ labelled Infinite Sustain therefore both combined in one loop for WOWY tone. The TC2290 loops idea I believe were scrapped and they ended up in Rocktron Patch Mate switchers. Below is the rig during the early Zoo tour when they played the Achtung Baby songs pre Zooropa, note the pedals were duplicated. I believe they were duplicated for backup purposes, he did substitute the odd one e.g. Boss Graphic EQ was used instead of the Pearl EQ, TC FET Booster was used instead of another FA-1 and CS-2 was used instead of another Dynacomp. This was in the days before eBay and Internet so probably difficult back then to find another FA-1 and Pearl etc which of course we now take for granted (I remember when it was near impossible to find these pedals but now everyday on eBay!!!!)

As you can see his Zoo pedals (core sounds remain intact). Im positive the OD-2 is still his main overdrive as its still the first switch on his MIDI controller like the Zoo days labelled Turbo.

Next to his Zoo Pedals he has taken away the spare duplicates and added his new Lovetone Pedals for the new Pop songs to be played live:

On this tour he still used his ZooTV Bradshaw MIDI controller (most the same labels)
