From Belowempty.com's Dean gear archive:

When Guitar World Magazine asked "I don't hear too many effects on the [Talk Show] record", Dean answered: "There really weren't. On "John" and "Hello Hello" I used a Sixties Vox Wah. On "Hide" I used a Rotovibe, and for the solo on that, I used a Boss DS-1 distortion. On "Behind" I used a Boss Chorus."

Dean and Robert basically say that they don't need that many effects pedals, because "there's a beauty in plugging a certain guitar into a certain amp. It can have enough power to dictate a song." Dean says: "One of my favorite pairs for tracking that I used a lot on [Talk Show] and "Tiny Music..." is a '57 Les Paul TV Special that I played through a '66 Marshall 18-watt 2x10 combo. That amp loves P-90's. I used that combination on "Big Bang Baby" and "Everybody Loves My Car". Even though you're hearing different tones coming in and out, most of it was just one track of guitar instead of layers. I didn't do too much overdubbing. There may be a certain tone happening in the verse, the we'd introduce another tone in the track by using another guitar. Things stay a little less cluttered that way."

According to this gear diagram of Dean DeLeo's Army of Anyone stage, he uses two Demeter TGP-3: Guitar pre-amps.

In this interview with Guitar Player, Dean is asked "What about effects". His reply "I use the SIB VariDrive to blow up the Snider—it’s like having an extra amp."

In this Army of Anyone tour Rig diagram published in Guitar magazine you can see Dean was travelling with his 2 70s Gibson Les Paul standards that he purchased new as a teenager.

When interviewed about the unique tones on STP's "Tiny Music and the Talk Show LP Dean revealed that he used only single coil pickups and small vintage combos with 10" or 8" speakers in the studio at that time. A complete list of the amps Dean discussed in interviews was compiled on belowempty.com

Tiny Music... Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop"(recorded 1995/1996) & "Talk Show" (recorded 1996)

This detailed gear diagram of Dean DeLeo's Army of Anyone stage setup, which traces the signal flow of the equipment in his 2007 guitar rig, includes a Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble pedal.

Bruce Nelson: All the Les Pauls in this rig are 2009. They all have Seymour Duncan Jazz pickups in the bridge; they’re clear and they’re pretty similar to the stock pickups the 70s Les Pauls have.

"With this rig I was trying to replicate his other 70s Les Pauls and that pickup was the closest. He’s playing on the bridge 99% of the time, the only time he’ll flip to the neck is when they’re jamming or something like that between songs. We’re mostly using gauge 10 strings, but on low alternate tunings we’ll go up to 11s.”

Dean DeLeo: “The guitars that I have with me now are my B rig stuff. All the A rig stuff are the solid bodies, these Les Pauls are semi hollow. Which are very different.

"They play a little different to begin with but they’re interesting because they’re semi hollow, they can get away from you. And fortunately usually when they get away from you they’re in key! [laughs] Which is always good. It’s nice to have that extra little thing to play with.”

Slide 8 shows Dean's RJM Mastermind MIDI Controller that feeds the Rockman MIDI Octopus he's been using live since the beginning of Stone Temple Pilots. The RJM controller has replaced the old Rockman MIDIPedal that Dean used to use.
