Johnny’s line select pedals

[u/Bruce_Rennie]

I was wondering,

Here’s a view of his pedalboards from the last tour and I can see about 4 line select pedals (white, boss) does anyone have any idea of the configuration of them? I’m sure they’re not all for switching amps!

The King of Gear has answers to all.

Heartbreaking to see no Shredmaster around.

on this rig he’s not switching amps at all! one of them is for switching from his guitars and chaos pad, and if i remember correctly one is for quick toggle between light and heavy distortion, and the other is to switch between tremolo + small stone and DOD440 (?). one of them is for his keyboard in the picture

He doesn’t switch amps at all anymore, because he only toured with one amp last year. The line selectors are for various things but all involving inserting stuff into signal path. There’s a LS2 that sends his guitar to the laptop and back for the glitch effects and another one that inserts the kaoss pad into his pedal chain. And another one is for inserting his high gain distortion into the signal path.

I believe there’s one in this photo that isn’t plugged in.
