"For amps, we used a Marshall YJM plexi 50w mode bridged over and all knobs pretty much on full. We used the MXR Carbon Copy Analog Delay and the Phase 90. For leads, I used an MXR Micro Amp + to get extra juice, and we also did a lot of experimenting with the Way Huge Supa-Puss Delay, which lets you distort the feedback. That created some really cool psychedelic stuff. For strings, I used Dunlop Electric 10-52s, and for picks, I used 1.5mm Tortex Sharps."

Fredrik Åkesson, guitarist for Opeth, uses the TC Electronic Spark Mini Booster as part of his gear setup, as detailed in his artist story on the TC Electronic website.
“I just picked this up from the MXR guys in San Francisco. It’s a brand new model which has the old Phase 45 as well as the 90, then you have the script mode, too.
“I’ll kick it in for some leads whenever I want that flavour… and especially if I want to sound like Van Halen! [laughs]”
“This pedal is really interesting. It’s a new delay with a tap-out which I will start using soon, I used to use a Carbon Copy but I’ve switched to this now. It has a longer delay time, it’s a bit clearer but still with a vintage touch - you can dial in the flutter and oldness of the tape, which I like. There’s a lot it can do and it’s perfect for adding into solos.”
Fredrik Åkesson's use of the Boss OC-2 Octaver is showcased in MusicRadar's feature on professional guitarists' pedalboards.
He uses here red mini fuzz face with white knobs which means it is The Band of Gypsy's Mini Fuzz Face by Dunlop.
You can see clearly that he uses Flashback delay. Rather second edition because You can see that is is written "mash" near the knob and it has more than one "tone-print".
