Poison Ivy
Poison Ivy's Effects Pedals
I also use a Univox Super Fuzz pedal and a Maxon delay for slapback.
In this article article from 2003 (https://www.vintageguitar.com/2915/poison-ivy/), Poison Ivy states:
"I use original blackface Fender Pro Reverb amps. I have two of them onstage – one is a backup. One’s a 2×12 and one is 1×15. I usually play through the 1×15. The Pro Reverb has built-in tremolo and reverb, but I use an outboard tremolo, too – a Fulltone tremolo pedal. I like the tremolo on my amp, but it doesn’t stay working for too long on the road, so I usually end up using the pedal."
In this photo, taken during a concert at the Astoria in London in 2003, it is possible to see Poison Ivy's pedalboard (https://theselvedgeyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/poison-ivy.gif). A second photo taken from another angle during the same concert is also available (https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/the-cramps/photos?photo=656280). Finally, this same pedalboard is visible, in color and from above, on a video filmed during a concert in Oslo on August 11, 2006 (at about 2:42) from the following link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcbaGvyRqEs&list=PLEAB74D81D9A98E41&index=2). Considering these three sources, the pedal chain is most likely as follows : Boss TU-2 Tuner > Univox Super Fuzz > Maxon Analog Delay > Boss TR-2 Tremolo.

Considering these three sources, the pedal chain is most likely as follows : Boss Tuner (TU-3 or TU-2) > Univox Super Fuzz > Maxon Analog Delay > Boss TR-2 Tremolo.

This same pedalboard was also used by Poison Ivy during a concert at the Astoria in London in 2003 : a first photo showing the pedalboard from the side is visible from this link (https://theselvedgeyard.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/poison-ivy.gif) and a second one showing this pedalboard from the back is available from this other link (https://www.concertarchives.org/bands/the-cramps/photos?photo=656280). Considering these three sources, the pedal chain is most likely as follows : Boss TU-2 Tuner > Univox Super Fuzz > Maxon Analog Delay > Boss TR-2 Tremolo.
In the August 1990 issue of Guitar Player Magazine, Poison Ivy stated, "I use two distortion units, a Univox Super Fuzz and a pedal called (Tube Works) Real Tube, which supposedly simulates overdrive."

Considering these three sources and the fact that Poison Ivy has been using this model since 2003, this pedalboard is most certainly a Pedaltrain 1.
