He mentions using a modded BD-2 after a Keeley compressor so I assume he means a Keeley modded BD-2 too.

Brent says he uses a Strobo Tuner. I assume this one.

In this Dec 2008 Vintage Guitar Magazine interview, Brent Rowan mentions using the Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail reverb pedal on Josh Turner songs, positioning it before the microphone, as reported by Zac Childs in Vintage Guitar® magazine.

Q: What’s in your “Josh Turner rig?” A: Some of the songs are heavy on the baritone, with low-strung guitars augmenting his voice, but never getting down to where he is, range-wise. Then there’s this crazy, whacked-out Tele guy that is part of his band, in my mind. This guy is part Brad Paisley and part James Burton. He appears on each album a couple times. With those parts, I try to walk a fine line playing parts that will make people think “Is he kidding, or is he not.” Frank Rogers, Josh’s producer, loves that, and he produces Brad also, so he borderlines on whether or not they’re kidding. Pure tones for Josh, not a lot of processing. On some songs I did use an E-H Holy Grail because I think verb before the mic can sound so heavenly.
