- A smaller rack was used for the recording sessions.

Notes on the All Tubes pedal board:
- This board was made by Pete Cornish in 1999 and has been used on several live appearances since then, – mainly the Meltdown concerts in 2001/02 and Live 8 in 2005. In 2004 Cornish replaced the Boss CS-2 with the Compulator and added send/returns for a Whammy pedal. The board was used for On an Island recording sessions and brought on the tour as a backup, placed beside the rack.
- The Demeter Compulator is a compressor based on the tube rack compressors often used in recording studios. The sound is similar to a MXR Dynacomp, but much more dynamic. The unit has a gain control with a possible 30db volume drop, – this allows to adjust the volume to the other effects or turn it up to max 26dB for pickups with weak output.
