What pedals did SRV use on Live at El Mocambo?

Hi folks,

Anyone know what pedals SRV was using on this fabulous video? Did he use a fizzface, or only tubescreamers to boost his amps?

Awesome video! I just watched it again on Monday and wondered the same thing. It sounded like a Wah and a tube screamer, but I could not tell anything beyond that.

What massive, searing tone! For a relatively small guy, he had monster hands!

He used 2 TS808's. His backline comprised of 2 Vibroverbs and 2 Super Reverbs, they are clearly seen in the video, that's where his tone came from.

There's one point in the video that shows a roadie ducked down behind his amps covering his ear... can;t imagine how loud it must have been back there.
