that for gear nerds, this is a very clear photo of RS, SG & PB pedal boards. not an ideal pic, but a good one nonetheless.
Does this photo have anything to do with the upcoming Mexico and Latin American tour? Where & when was it taken? By whom shared & how? What makes you say these boards are Robert's and Simon's and Perry's -- and which do you ID as whose, left to right? Thanks.

the pedals on the right in front of Simon's Bad Wolf painted amp is positioned where I've seen Simon access his pedals, and I saw RS turn off one or all of them after a particularly violent end to A Forest where Simon bailed after seemingly looking quite annoyed. Or maybe in the moment. hard to tell from a YT video..
Next to it (to the bottom left of the image) is where Robert stands, the mic stand is there... for quite a while he's had a Boss BCB-60 - the board pointing like this / and has a TU-3 (or could be a TU-2), a GE-7, what looks like a BD-2 ( you probably wouldn't put a CE-2 compressor there in the chain, though he might), either an SD-1 or more likely an OD-3 (as they're generally regarded as better OD pedals), one of the DD range digital delay pedals (presumably a DD7 or DD8), and what looks like a PH-3. There's then the other board likely to be a BSB-30 (or the new 30 model) that has two flangers on it - the purple things, from other pics, I've seen he has a new BF-3 and an OG BF-2 on it with something else filling the third slot. I think there's a gear thread that has an image on it from some other gear nerd or maybe it's a video, that shows those three pedals.
the board shown on the top left of the image is likely Reeves' Bass VI board.. It has what looks like a Chorus pedal on the left, a Digital Delay (one of the DD range) next , a gap, and i'm not sure what the right pedal in position four would be. Too hard to tell. There are some other non-Boss pedals behind the legs but they're too obsCUREd to see (heheh)...
That's additional to Reeves' massive front facing pedalboard that's not shown in that image. they're probably (definitely(?)) too centered on the stage to be Perry's pedals. and anyway, I saw Perry has his next to his keyboard set up
If you have a lead on Brisbane 21 August 1992 - CT version, for the love of Bob, let me know. Please!

Thank you for your kind reply! May I respectfully suggest your post and responses be moved to The Cure Gear topic under The Cure Chat?
This because it was 2019 when The Cure played the EXIT Festval in Serbia. Thus, though interesting gear-wise, your info & explanations don't necessarily relate to Mexico & South America in 2023.
Also, the shot being from 2019 confirms no board shown could be for Perry -- as he wasn't touring that year.
I think you're correct that the Boss-heavy boards would be Robert's and Simon's. I'm unsure, though, about your theory that the upper left array could be for Reeves' Bass VI. RG uses some Boss effects, but many other makers too.
I suggest we look for board photos shared by Al Robinson, Reeves' tech -- there are surely some from 2019, 2022, and 2023 that would show RG's big board and his Bass VI one. I will share what I find -- over in The Cure Gear section.

salleygarden If you want to have my post moved, I have no issues. Go for it.
Yep, good point with Perry, I guess it pays not to quickly bash out replies when you're in a meeting at work!
Those Boss boards are definitely RS's and SG's.
I know Reeves' main pedalboard is HUGE and has a buncha stuff on it that's not Boss, but I'm sure I read somewhere that he has a Bas VI board off to the side. Makes sense to me that it would be off to the back, as I doubt he changes configs mid-song, but I could be wrong. His VI board may well be up the front next to his main board.
Good stuff, I'll be having a peep at that tumblr account in the coming days. I'd be keen to hear more of your thoughts!

if you take a closer look at Jason's front 'drum bass' the logo is from Summer Festivals '19

Seems Reeves heard of curiosity about his two pedal boards. He just put recent photos up on Instagram. From show photos, the guitar board sits straight in front of him, and the Bass VI board sits at a right angle, on the floor, to his right. Link:
