Nels Cline Pedalboard – Wilco

I was really excited to see a post on Gear Talk’s instagram account, where they reposted a photo by Jake Blakesberg. This photo was a recent photo of the man, myth and legend – Nels Cline’s pedalboard currently used in Wilco. This is the on the ground set up – Nels typically has a separate set up of interesting effects where he can adjust on the fly with his hands that is raised up. Nels, just like most of us is always exploring for new sounds, replacing pedals for various reasons, so I love seeing board evolution. The last time I posted a board shot was way back in 2012, so things definitely have changed over the years.

So let’s get into it! I was unable to identify a couple of the pedals – specifically the red pedals on the right board and the volume pedal left of the left board. If you can help, please comment below – and I’ll get this post updated! UPDATE – Pedals have been identified. Thanks everyone!
