At 22:19 in this "Rig Rundown" with Premier Guitar, Kenny talks about his custom pedal board and we're shown a still image with the Butler being seen in the left hand side of the image.

“A Univibe circuit is a pretty complex beast. The bulk of the sound on the original Univibes was dependent on this lightbulb flashing on and off inside. And when you’re trying to condense that into a very compact box like this one, you’re going to start sacrificing some of the sound. So this is, in my opinion, one of the best solutions for getting as close to the sound as you can in as smaller housing as possible. I only use it on one song, which is Blue On Black. We have a rhythm part that comes in right at the top of the second verse. I go from the acoustic sound to the Univibe for the rhythm.”

At 22:37 of this “Rig Rundown” with Premier Guitar, Kenny says about his pedals, “starting off in the single chain we have the Dunlop Univibe Re-issue. That is in particular I use that for the rhythm sound on “Blue on Black”. You know it just gets a really unique sound; it’s really ‘Hendrixy’”

"My new Vibe-Bro kills it! This thing has THAT SOUND, just like my original Uni-Vibe! Thanks to my boy Dustin Sears from Shin-ei for building this for me!"

At 27:26 of this "Rig Rundown" with Premier Guitar, Kenny talks about his Octavia re-issue saying "I have an original Tycobrahe Octavia at home that I reserve just for studio use. But these guys have really nailed the re-issue, I mean this an accurate re-issue of any other pedal I’ve ever seen."

At 34:54 in this "Rig Rundown" with Premier Guitar, Kenny says about his Bi-Chorus "so this is a really cool chorus pedal; it’s one circuit but he has the ability to have two independent settings…I have one side set for like a fast setting, which gives you more like a ‘Leslie’ sound. And then I have a very slow setting on the other side of it to sort of smooth things out."

At 25:23 in this "Rig Rundown" with Premier Guitar, Kenny talks about his wah pedal saying "I’m a big Dunlop user, have been for years basically, and this wah pedal - I’ve been in search you know now for the best sounding wah pedal…I have an original Vox Clyde McCoy wah pedal from the sixties, that’s like the Holy Grail of wah pedals. Everybody tries to emulate that and I’ve just been on the lookout for the one that sounds closest or sounds the closest to what I want a wah to sound like and this is it.”

"On the left is the Dunlop univibe speed controller, next is a Dunlop 535Q wah. Then my ts9/808, then an old TS-808. Roy is holding a Line 6 delay pedal. Next is a Roger Mayer Octavia. The other box is a switchbox or "snuff box" which allows KWS to kill the guitar signal to the amp and send it to the tuner only."

At 9:32 in this video, Kenny Wayne Shepherd talks about his Ibanez TS9.

This is one of the Analog Man modified Tube Screamer reissues. Now Mike used to take these, these are TS9 reissues, which has a different circuit to the TS808. I prefer the sound of the TS808. They did not used to reissue the TS808, so Mike would take the TS9s that they did reissue and he would rebuild them and basically modify them into a TS808 circuit. And he’d also do a couple of other things to make it a little more road worthy and rugged because a lot of my stuff gets put through the paces. It can go through some abuse on the road. A lot of my pedals were breaking down and Mike figured out a way to make this sucker road proof.
