Bruce Springsteen's Effects Pedals
In this image of Bruce Springsteen's pedalboard, his Boss BF-3 Flanger can be seen. Photo originally from the MESA/Boogie's website.
On Mesa Boogie's website, this picture of Bruce Springsteen's gear shows that he uses a Fulltone Fulldrive2.
On this picture of the Boss' pedalboard, we can see a double Boss pedal on the right side above the Boss purple flanger. The light-gold colour, the 'rotary led' on the top and the 8 knobs make immediately thing of the RT-20 Rotary Speaker Sound.
In this photo of Bruce Springsteen's pedalboard, on Mesa Boogie's website, a Fulltone GT-500 can be seen.
'Amps: Four pre-CBS Fender Bassman amps, ca. 1958-1962; two Peavey Vintage amps (imitation Bassmans) -- one of each is used onstage under the drum riser. Also: a prime time digital delay and harmonizer and an MXR distortion box. The Fender Esquire is modified with a battery operated impedence transformer for long cable lengths. Information supplied by Mike Batlan, who also notes that there is an asterisk in front of the Esquire's serial number, indicating that is was a factory reject, probably originally sold as a reject.'
Was talking with Analog Mike today thru e-mail, Springsteen has been using his comprossor.
Bruce Springsteen uses the Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor, as shown in a photo of his pedalboard on the MESA/Boogie website.
According to a Reverb.com listing, Bruce Springsteen personally owned a Bartolini Tube-It overdrive pedal from the mid 1980's. His ownership of the pedal is confirmed by a signed certificate of authenticity, however any use of the pedal is doubtful.
The image provided on Equipboard clearly shows Bruce Springsteen using a Boss DD-3 Digital Delay. This is corroborated by additional sources and aligns with the time period during which the photograph was taken.
