Patterson plugs directly into a rather modest pedalboard that she built, along with her father, with some cabinet wood from the local hardware store. The board houses an Electro-Harmonix Pulsar Tremolo, MXR GT-OD, EarthQuaker Devices Dispatch Master, TC Electronic PolyTune 2, and a Catalinbread Belle Epoch. Tucked underneath is a Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2+ that keeps everything powered up.
