Various Instagram images over the past few years have shown a pair of Tortenmann TA-100 treble boosters on Ryan's boards. Other sites have misidentified them as the T-28 but they are in fact T-100. Ryan's sound is always evolving and remarkably nuanced. It's exceptionally generous that he quite deliberately posts isolated pictures of his boards from time to time for other musicians to see.
