Introduction
Andy Summers' pedalboard was built by Pete Cornish in January 1979 - its first known use being the 1979-02-06 TV performance (but we don't know anything about the 1979-02-02 performance yet...)
Gear breakdown
The pedalboard originally featured a Pete Cornish fuzz but in mid 1979 that was replaced with an MXR distortion. Here are the effects that the board contained on 1979-03-20 (as described in International Musician And Recording World - July 1979):
- MXR Phase 90
- MXR Compressor
- MXR Fuzz
- Electric Mistress Flanger
- MXR Dynacomp
- Cornish Fuzz
- Mutron III Envelope Filter
- automatic wah-wah
In a 1982 Rolling Stone issue it's mentioned that the board still has the MXR Phase 90, an analogue delay, compressor and the Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress Flanger. The fuzz and the Mutron III Envelope Filter are still in place, but not used anymore.
