Josh Boss Tuner used in the Kyuss days. I guess he still use that. On the other pic, you can see a boss overdrive really clearly. Don't know the other one. Probably the boss tuner and a volume pedal. Josh was also spotted with an Electro Harmonix Bass Micro-synth. Travis sended that good peice of info too : "I was at the Troubadour show (the one on the SFTD DVD) and was standing right in front of Josh. His pedals for that show were an Ernie Ball volume pedal, on old beat up Boss SD-1, a Way Huge Aqua Puss (400ms analog delay - rare and expensive), and he had a Whirlwind Selector pedal covered in bright green tape with "BONUS" written over the A + B switch. (I think I also saw it on the Letterman performance)"

He used a SD1 Boss always "on" in the QOTSA Argentinian shows, of course, Ampegs everywhere.

An article about Boss SD-1 published in January 2023 Guitar World issue also talks about settings Homme used on the pedal. Both level and tone knobs were set to 10, while drive was set to 0.
Kosh has used the SD-1 with a vintage Ampeg amp with a distinctive midrange peak along with a Boss GE-7 graphic EQ to further boost 400Hz. This SD-1 setting adds sizzle and clarity to his thick-as-molasses midrange.
