Bobby Kildea

At 2:28 in the video "Belle and Sebastian - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)," Bobby Kildea's sunburst Fender Telecaster Standard is visible. This guitar is the primary instrument he has used in Belle and Sebastian live performances over the last decade. The Fender logo is clearly visible on the headstock, and the guitar appears to be in its stock configuration with two single-coil pickups, a sunburst finish, and a rosewood fretboard.

This Instagram post from Belle and Sebastian in 2014 shows Kildea's pedalboard, which includes a Boss CS-3 Compressor. As noted in another entry, this pedal appears to have been replaced with an MXR Studio Compressor by 2018.

In the live in-studio performance by Belle and Sebastian on KEXP, Bobby Kildea's pedalboard is visible at the 1:34 mark, featuring a Boss SD-1 Super OverDrive pedal in the bottom row. This pedal has been a mainstay of both Kildea and fellow guitarist Stevie Jackson's pedalboards for at least two decades.

There is a Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler on the bottom row of his pedalboard, marked with tape to indicate his saved presets. This pedal has been a staple on Kildea's touring and recording pedalboard for over a decade, appearing to be his sole delay unit.

This pedal does not seem to appear on Kildea's 2018 recording/touring pedalboard, suggesting it may have been replaced with the Ashbass FUZZbrite, the MXR Sub Machine, or what may be a Tone Bender of some sort (difficult to see in the 2018 photo).
