Sure about the back and forth wiring between the two boards? Doesn’t look very convenient.
4-5 cables. No biggie…
Great design! Thanks Adam.
Jonny is the man! I like the wiring!
Yikes! The amp you have listed is NOT CORRECT! Jonny Greenwood does NOT use a Fender Deluxe 85…he uses a Fender “Eighty-Five”! These are two different amps…they are both solid state but the Deluxe has an option to mix the channels. Check out this pic for verification.

Yeah, you are absolutely right! It IS the Eighty-Five. We’ll swap out amp icons soon. Thanks for the heads up!
Hi,
it’s not a custom-made tremolo, but is a Demeter The Tremulator, first release of the well-known TRM-1 Tremulator.
Here also some shots of the 2010 jonny and ed’s pedalbords from the show “Radiohead for Haiti”

Good site.
Hi, I believe Jonny uses another ls-2 outside his second pedalboard. I’m not sure how he wires it in the pedal chain but it makes sense to have another one, because if not, you’ll have to dance tap in order to turn off the modulation pedals. Great job and excelent images! Sorry for my poor english.
i swear, the only reason i want my band to be successful is so i can compile my own one of these one day
According to this wiring, the DOD440 cannot effect his distorted channel. Isn’t that what it does in his last solo of Paranoid Android?
The DOD440 is set up before the Boss LS-2 which essentially acts as an A/B box. The Marshall Shredmaster is after the Boss LS-2 so Johnny can use the DOD 440 on either the Vox or Fender line (or both if the LS-2 is set for A>B>Both)
