In no particular order, I would get a wah pedal, an octaver, a phaser, a compressor/sustainer (for those ultra long drone notes) and an additional distortion.

More fuzz...

Maybe delay, oscillating awesomeness is very usable in that context. You could easily find room for other fun effects (wah, phaser, octave...wierd glitchy stuff).

It's all about fuzz and delay IMO. For fuzz, check out the germanium-transistor fuzzes such as Fuzz Face clones; also the fuzzes by Frantone; also the Pigtronix Disnortion. I like the fat smoothness of all those better than the harsh, gritty fuzz of the Blowtorch.
