Mystery pedals

i can see an AB switch, and some power supplies, and that thing next to the tube zipper might be a tube screamer
The boss pedal with the light blue knobs is a delay pedal I think. And next to taht delay pedal, the big pedal looks alot like an akai to me.
The boss pedal next to the tu2 has a lot of concentric knobs too, if you look through the boss lineup I'm sure you could identify it based on those knobs alone. I think the harmonist had knobs like that.
+1 on the tube screamer, the green square and knob layout are a dead giveaway.

The 4 concentric knobs on the Boss pedal struck me as a big clue, but I haven't yet been able to identify it.
The small Boss pedal near the A/B box (towards the "A" marking) is a Boss PEQ-3B pedal. A really great 3-band parametric EQ pedal that Boss no longer makes. I've had one for about 15 some-odd years now and when I learned Boss no longer makes them, I scoured the Internet for a backup and scored a brand new (old stock) unit from some on-line music store. Check E-Bay from time to time - I've seen them there a handful of times. It's not quite fully parametric - you can't adjust the "Q" width, just center frequencies and levels. It's capable of 18dB of gain. Really nice pedal.
Thanks, stingray69.
The Akai looks like an older Headrush sampler/delay.
Okay, it looks like we've identified most of it....

Boss PEQ3

I'm not so sure. It looks a lot like a painted one of these...

Maybe some of the older models are different, but the pics of the Deep Impact that I'm finding have 4 knobs, not 6.

You're right, no cord. Tricky bastard!

Mystery pedal #1 doesnt appear to have any knobs on it and is a light blue colour... I have no idea what it is, looks to be about the same size/shape as an MXR Microamp tho.
the pedal with the yellow the only thing that makes me think it ISNT a boss, is the footswitch, it looks like a DOD footswitch,
Mystery Pedal 1 looks like a DOD A/B Box and Mystery Pedal 2 looks kinda like a Roger Mayer pedal, like maybe a Voodoo Bass?
