"... I got my unicorn milk here (...)" (check around the 1:06 timestamp mark) Okay, this one I am unsure - the FX pedal is hidden inside a pill-shaped recipient and it does not look like anything I know of. Please correct this item if you know better.
garyholt_official's profile picture garyholt_official Verified Guitar players!!!! What you are looking at here is the gear of the year. This little pocket sized preamp by @mooeraudio is literally, a 5150 that fits in your pocket. I would gig anywhere anytime with this alone. Crushing. They make many others, suited to many different amp styles, but holy shit this thing rages.
Presonus EQ3B Equalizer shown at 58 seconds into the vid. he used this on Exhibit :B album.
@klein.michael.w: A very special one-off Dybbuk overdrive for limited edition Heinz Ketchup collector @garyholt_official of @exodusbandofficial and @slayerbandofficial . In case you’ve missed, Dybbuk was designed in collaboration with my bruh @sammypierreduet of @goatwhorenola , who’s also obviously added his grease to @crowbarmusic and Acid Bath. We are super stoked on this design and have really appreciated the response so far! We hope you love it, Sir Holt!

"All you gear head guitar players! You gotta check out @fxconnectxofficial ! Providers of my bad as fuck wireless effect switching system! Multiple pedal boards and my tech even has his own body pack with a full compliment of switching ability right from his own pack! Awesome stuff no one should be without! Check the stuff out! It's been working flawlessly!" reads the caption to an Instagram post by Gary Holt.
Gary Holt uses EMG 81 Active Pickups, according to this Premier Guitar article.
This amp goes all the way back to the early Exodus days, and Gary still uses and loves it today.
I've been playing Floyd Roses my whole life and I even track rhythms on [...] My hand (just) is born to play on a Floyd Rose [...]

Gary shows his Maxon ST-9 pedal 0:57 into the video.
From the interview with Premier Guitar:
What effects did you use for Blood In, Blood Out? Holt: I use a ton of different pedals. I love stompboxes—they’re like crack to me! I have pedals from Maxon, Dunlop, HomeBrew Electronics, Pigtronix. I use a lot of the Maxon Tube Screamer-type pedals. They made the original ones, so they have ones that are exactly like the original, sought-after ones, and they also have updated versions.
I also love the Boss Octaver. I’ve never been without one my whole life. Dunlop makes a bass octave pedal, which sounds probably even a little better and has a smaller footprint, which I also like. And I use a Voodoo Lab Ground Control. With Slayer, I’ve been using the Dunlop Jerry Cantrell wah. Kerry [King] uses the Zakk Wylde wah, so I wanted something to differentiate our wah sounds.
