What kinda effects is this guy using?

The song is "Dragonaut" by Sleep. I can hear there is definitely some fuzz in there, but especially towards the end, it sounds like he's working some other kinda effect in there too. Anybody know what kind of effect he's using? Sounds kinda like an envelope filter to my untrained ear... :confused:

 
"He" is Al Cisneros...fuzz and I think in other threads we came to the conclusion it was a wah pedal. Could be an autowah but it doesn't have the same wah'ing characteristics on each note like an autowah would produce. There's never been much conclusive evidence either way and afaik, Al doesn't kiss and tell.
