In this photo of Pierce's pedalboard you can faintly see a Proco Turbo Rat distortion pedal.
Jason can be seen here playing thorugh his H+H IC100 combo in 1998.
In this photo, Jason can be seen playing a Fender Jazzmaster.
Jason can be seen in this photo holding a Fender Telecaster.
In this picture from a Spiritualized live show, Jason is playing a Tele Thinline.
The second pedal is a Boss PN-2 Tremolo/Pan Guitar Effects Pedal.
Jason Pierce uses a vintage blue Colorsound Wah-Wah pedal, as shown in the user-uploaded photo on Equipboard.
"...The item can be seen 1:45 into this video..." Spiritualized® - Live @ Norwegian Wood Festival, Norway - 15th June 2008
A Vox Three Button Foot Switch for their vintage 60's amplifiers can clearly be seen to the R of a Colorsound Wah-Wah pedal from the viewer's perspective. The cover of 1993 Fucked Up Inside live recording.
A 1960s VOX Continental Organ volume pedal can clearly be seen to the L of a Colorsound Wah-Wah pedal from the viewer's perspective. The cover of 1993 Fucked Up Inside live recording.
Photo in the article from The Times shows Jason Pierce playing Marshall Vintage Modern head.
The same amp can be seen in the very beginning of the official video recording of I'm Coming Home Again or in the video of I’m Your Man, recorded live on "Colbert".
The amp name is being plastered over so it's impossible to say with confidence if it's 2466 or 2266 model.
The first and White pedal is a Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner.
In this video Jason can clearly be seen playing a what's supposed to be MIJ Jag reissue. It's probably a JG-66-85. I was looking looking through Fender Japan early 90s catalogues and only this particular model, JG-66 reissue, is listed here. The year it was filmed is 1995.
J. Spacemen can clearly be seen playing a Vox Starstream XII. The partially visible headstock says it all, it has two parallel lines of tuners, which are to be on the twelve string version only. I just can't attach two pictures. There is also a picture where the headstock is fully visible, it only has the guitar captured, not both Spaceman and the guitar.
Clearly visible next to his Chelsea boots. Taken at Leicester University on June 13, 1989.
The guitar is clearly seen behind him in the picture. Spacemen 3 post-split photo session. Some photos featured in the magazine articles/interviews circa February, April '91.
Jason's EKO also featured in Spiritualized «Anyway That You Want Me» video. Time stamps are 0:58, 1:01, 1:03-1:05, 1:10, 1:58, 1:59-2:01, 2:03, 3:19-3:21. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBamHPzEr84
J. Spacemen can be seen playing a Gibson L-00 throughout the video.
In this image, one can see J. Spaceman holding a B major chord on a Gibson Firebird V Non-Reverse model.
He mentions the guitar in this interview.
I’ve got a Vox Invader that’s got all the trems, distortions and tone bender built into it, so if I want something a little bit more extreme I’ve got that to hand
In this footage of Spititualized performing in Norway in ‘92 recently uploaded on YouTube, one can see Mr. Pierce usage of Roland Jazz Chorus 120.
This picture was shared on the Facebook community "Pedalboards of Doom." Notes by user Donald Burke: "Going through my things and found this 'peak disposable camera' shot of J. Spaceman’s board, when Spiritualized were on tour for Let it Come Down (2001/2)." The image clearly shows that Jason Pierce uses the Nobels Tremolo TR-X.

A Voodoo Lab Pedal Power 2 PLUS is visible in the photo of Jason Pierce’s pedalboard shared by Reddit user deathmetaloverdrive.

Jason Pierce’s Marshall VT-1 Vibratrem is shown in the pedalboard photo posted by Reddit user deathmetaloverdrive.
The Boss LS-2 Line Selector is visible in the photo of Jason Pierce’s pedalboard posted by Reddit user deathmetaloverdrive.
I'm going to take a guess the blank box next to it is a re-housed EQD Hummingbird Mk1 judging tby the position of the jacks, the selector switch and the charging port. It's generally regarded as the best Vox Repeat Percussion clone, that has been a key part of the Spaceman 3 and Spiritualized sound since forever.
On the Pure Phase gigs he appeared to have an ES335 semi-hollow type guitar on a stand in addition to his usual pair of Thinline Telecasters, so probably to account for the differing pickups and output level.
Jason Pierce is shown using a Pro Co RAT 2 in the provided photo source.
