Mentioned in this January 14, 2009 Premier Guitar interview. It is also mentioned on the official Sobbat artist page.

And then I have a Univibe sort of pedal handmade by a guy over in Japan. It’s called the Sobbat Glow-Vibe. He’s given me one, and Eric Johnson gave me his.

テキサスのブルースギタリスト。2ndアルバムよりツアー等にても使用。 GV-1、FB-2,DB-1/2を使用しています。(注：現在音信不通なので分かりません)彼がsobbatの最初の実験台となってくれた人物で、彼が使用してからソバットの市販の製品をいろんな意味でもっと頑丈な物にしようと思いました（笑）

When you’re playing through such a simplified rig, do you have many pedals in front of you, or do you just run straight into the amp?

Well, I used to use a Cesar Diaz Texas Ranger pedal, which Cesar personally gave to me, and it was actually a great pedal with my other rig. But now with my new rig, the tones have changed and it doesn’t work as well, so I’m using the Xotic BB Plus as my main distortion right now… mostly for low-volume situations. I’ve also got a CE-5 Chorus that I use for a Leslie sound—turn the Rate and Effect all the way up, and turn back the Depth so it’s not detuning. I also use a BOSS DD-3. I used to use Echoplexes, and I still have three of them, but they’re temperamental when you get them out on the road. So I just learned to use the DD-3.

I also have a Hoochie-Mama pedal, built by a guy out of North Carolina, and it’s just like a boost. On occasion, I’ll have that on all the time if I have to play real quietly. I’ll turn the Output up and the Drive down so it rounds out my tone.

Chris Duarte uses the Analog Man King of Tone Overdrive pedal for his performances, as noted on Analogman. Alongside Toshihiro Sumitomo of BLUESTONE COMPANY, Duarte incorporates the KoT Ver4 into his slide guitar work on tour.

Chris is quoted at the bottom of the page that he is using/used the Xotic Super Clean and Super Sweet.
