Im pretty sure this what it comes down to. I know there may have been different variations of signal routing, but the overall idea of his rig seems to flow in this direction. I retrieved most of this information from INTENSE research from online articles, pictures, videos, magazine articles and pictures. In majority I delved into these two sites.

Thanks a lot for the info! I just listened to them for the first time today and was curious about his gear.

I didn't realize his board was larger than Munky's. Hahaha. Haven't listened to their cd in a fair while. Perhaps I will again.
