In a documentary celebrating the 2012 release of "Lonerism", this YouTube video shows two-seconds of the massive array of pedals on the floor of Kevin Parker's studio. Among one of the pedals is a Dunlop Fuzz Face. His Fuzz Face in particular has no white smile.
In 2013, severe weather prompted a cancellation of Austin City Limits, leaving the scheduled Tame Impala to dabble indoors. Parker can be seen again with the Fuzz Face pedal here.
More photos from a fan Tumbler site shows Parker amid an arsenal of pedals including the ubiquitous Fuzz Face.
The Boss Giga Delay Pedal is critically used by Kevin in almost all the songs of Tame Impala and is shown in this source image from Facebook.
Kevin is seen sitting in front of his pedal board, and the MXR M-102 Dyna Comp Compressor Pedal is toward the middle in front of his right leg.
Tame Impala's Kevin Parker spotlights some of the gear used on their album, "Lonerism" in this Redbull.com interview and had this to say about the Diamond Vibrato Pedal:
"This is used with pretty much all of the guitars on 'Lonerism.' It wobbles the pitch and makes the guitar sound like a rickety little boat on the ocean. It’s a woozy sound that you’ll hear throughout the album, a kind of seasick vibe which gives the impression that the whole thing is about to fall over. It also made the bass sound like a hungry stomach, which was weird but cool."
In this photo, a Boss Blues Driver can be seen on Kevin Parker's pedalboard.

A boss RE-20 Space Echo pedal can be seen in the top left-hand corner of this photo of Kevin's effects board. Kevin used this pedal configuration just after the release of Tame Impala's Lonerism.
At the start of the performance you can see and hear him using the electro harmonix pulsar tremolo pedal.
"Parker’s pedals are divided between three boards. The first has a Roland GR-55 synth running into a Yamaha mixer routed to a Radial J48 DI box."

During preparation for the Lonerism 10th Anniversary show at Desert Daze, Kevin posted a story on his Instagram showing his pedalboard with the Moogerfooger MF-105 MuRF. It was previously believed this pedal he had all the way back during the InnerSpeaker period was the MF-105M, Midi Version, but this is incorrect. In this photo you can see the staggered inputs his guitar go in and out of, which the Midi MuRF does not have, it has a midi output and straight input jacks. So Kevin has the normal Moogerfooger MF-105 MuRF. The less expensive variant.
On Parker's right-hand pedalboard, in this photo, an Empress Compressor can be seen. This same pedalboard can be seen in this photo as well.
