Warren Ellis's pedals...identification?

I Came across these snaps of Warren Ellis's (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Grinderman) pedal boards via the Grinderman sessions at RAK studios (Well worth checking out on YouTube). Just want to know if anyone can help ID some of these pedals.

Next pedalboard

Ibanez Tube Screamer

don't know (I swear this is an Analog Man fuzz, but I can't find a similar one thru google)

I believe the 'Analog Man Fuzz Face' one is actually an early Hot Cake.

You're right! I knew it looked familiar.

After further consideration, I almost positive the unknown pedal next to the Hot Cake is a Pete Cornish pedal of some kind. Possibly an early P-2, but that is almost pure speculation.

That's a good point, and you are absolutely right. It could be a Maxon.

This is all really great identification!
I just can't get enough of the sounds this man is capable of creating.

You missed out Dirty Three! A band which easily eclipses both the Bad Seeds and Grinderman!

Anyway, with Dirty Three he also uses a Digitech Jam-man, and with Grinderman he uses 2 of them and I believe a Boss Loopstation as well.
There's some good shots of the board here- Grinderman - Heathen Child, Live @ Later with Jools Holland [HD] - YouTube (and it looks like that Wah is a Colorsound).

Apologies for forgetting Dirty Three. I just found some more great snaps. Looks like he's using both the loopstation and the jam man.

I can't ID any new ones besides the Danelectro Reel Echo in the first pic. He likes delays!

These photos all rule. His pedal board when I saw Dirty Three playing Ocean Songs was much more minimal, though I can only ones I can remember are the Jam-man, the Hot Cake, and I think the DOD chorus and a few others.

Horse Stories is pretty much my favourite album ever.

(Side Note- When I was in Tokyo for All Tomorrow's parties last year, I ran into Warren Ellis in Shibuya. He dresses in real life exactly the same way he does on stage, even down to the half buttoned shirt and gold chains.)

Hey all, this is my first post on gearslutz. Read/lurked for ages (often on this same subject!) but finally had to register today because I have something that might help everyone..

(For the record, Warren Ellis from Dirty 3/Bad Seeds/Grinderman has been not only my favorite individual musician since about 2008 when I first saw him live, but his pedal set up is easily my most envied )

So when i came across these pictures last night -- I figured if I posted them, you all might be able to help identify everything! Note: there might be some repeat photos from earlier in this thread though I tried avoiding that. Also, some photos may get a lot larger and you can zoom in really deep if you can put them in their own separate tab or into something like iphoto. Anyways here goes.. lets see what everyone can identify!

Cheers everybody!
