Brittany Howard discloses her gear in this 2015 interview. Apart from the 2015 interview with Premier Guitar, she was interviewed by the same outlet in 2019.

So I usually just run an overdrive and I always have a Big Muff and a tuner and that’s pretty much my whole setup. The Big Muff is a new one and all I need it to do is sustain my notes.

The cool thing about those Roland Space Echos is they all sound different and they all have their own quirks. The one I have made my amp sound even cooler and colored the tone in a great way. Tape tends to do that, but it made my amp sound a bit glassy, twangy, and even bumps the bass a little.

In Howard's interview with Premier Guitar, her gear is listed. One of the pedals listed is the ZVex Mastotron.

In the Alabama Shakes' song "Dunes," Brittany Howard utilizes the Moog Moogerfooger MF-102 Ring Modulator, notably heard as the ring mod frequency emerges through a high-pass filter towards the end. This detail is discussed in the Laconic Coolitude article on their album "Sound and Color."

"Brittany uses the MXR® Il Torino Overdrive to shape her instrumental contribution to the Shakes’ groovy compositions", according to Dunlop's official site.
