I'm pretty sure that's a Boss tuner, A TS10 (probably still one of Stevie's), a Klon and I think the blue pedal is a Way Huge Aqua Puss. It sure looks like a AP and when he steps on it at the beginning of the solo he's stepping on a delay which is what an AP is.
Interesting story on the TS10: Stevie used a TS10 A LOT---pretty much all of the tour and record for 'In Step'! He used 808s early on but soon switched to 9s and 10s when they came out. JM uses a few of Stevie's TS10s that belong to Rene his tech who was also Stevie's tech.
I've heard people call that Monterrey strat the John Mayer strat.....lol
The neat thing about the video is that it is in HD. I hadn't seen that before on YouTube.
I've seen the HQ which is a little better.
So he takes an old Mamas and Poppas song and jazzes it up with his guitar.
I have to say his playing was pretty sloppy even for him.
I Bought a TS 10 when they first came out.. a good one.... Used that pedal on about 1000 gigs...It was slightly boxier sounding than the 808 but was smoother creamer and the sweep on the tone control was mo better than the 08's... My pedal board got ripped off a few years back.. ever since Iv'e been trying out a bunch of used ones and have not found one as good...
Bought a reissue 08 and used it a few times and sold it...The landgraff is the closest I've come but ain't paying 500 bucks for a pedal...I've never been in one but from people I've spoke with say its a variant of the 808-TS9 but buffered on both sides....input and output.....
I love this board.. NO Sympathy!! If you ain't up there throwin down.... we ain't impressed!!
I'm pretty sure the blue box is a Way Huge Aqua-Puss analog delay.
Personally, from a listeners standpoint, this music goes in one ear and out the other but if I were to put on my musician hat, I can appreciate his competence on the instrument.
***UPDATE***
I just saw that hairyandy posted on it being an AP, sorry about that...

Now if he could just stop making "baby crapping his diaper" faces.
Too funny and perfect description, but come on that face is too much. When the face distracts the viewer/listener, how good is the playing--or how bad is the face. I haven't seen this clip yet, I'm going from the Crossroads stuff, where my wife said to me, "Don't make faces like that when you play."
