Some pedals that aren't listed on the gear page, but are in the picture are
2x Boomerang Loopers
MXR Blue Box
EHX Holy Grail (I think it's a Holy Grail)
maybe a hand-painted MXR Distortion+

Those string gauges are Beastly! I've been tuning my baritone to A standard (low 6th string dropped to A then tuned 'normally' so basic chords/scales still apply) and I've still been getting some sloppy fret noise. I'll have to mix and match to try out those heavy duty bastards.
