Displayed at 16:39 of this Rig Rundown for Larry "Ler" LaLonde of Primus, is a Korg DT-7 Tuner.
Pedal 51 in Stompbox: 100 Pedals of the World's Greatest Guitarists, as can be seen in the quick browse video at 0:22. Photographer and author Eilon Paz singled it out as a favorite in this JHS livestream at 36:20.
So, yeah, Larry, he chose the DOD Gonkulator. (...) But, the reason I chose that one specifically, kinda like, caught my attention is.. is the amazing quote from him! I don't know, I find it really funny. (...) So here's the quote from Ler: "I hit the switch on the Gonkulator and it made this great robot noise. The salesman said 'Yep, we haven't sold any of those.'" And that's how he chose it.
Board No. 2 is home to the Fractal MFC-101 Mark II Foot Controller, Keeley Psi Fuzz, Keeley Wolff Octave Fuzz, and a Keeley Dark Side Workstation.
Larry used this during Tales From the Punchbowl for heavy distortion.
This was part of his live pedalboard in 1993 and 1994. It was a replacement for the EHX Big Muff he used in the studio for the extremely distorted parts on songs like My Name is Mud, Nature Boy, and The Pressman. In the DMV music video, his pedalboard can be seen at 1:18, 3:57, and 4:18 for brief moments. Although you're not able to see any brand name, using the details you can see (color, number of knobs, placement of input and output jack), it's most likely an FX55B.

Larry used a Big Muff in the studio during Pork Soda on My Name is Mud, Nature Boy, and The Pressman (mentioned at 24:15 on his 2017 Rig Rundown).
"This one, there's one song that actually has this throughout the song, it's "Moron TV"...so that's almost part of the song, the effect, but our songs have a lot of spots where they open up and it kind of just goes into different lands" – Larry "Ler" LaLonde on the Strymon Ola.
In this interview for Premier Guitar, Ler mentions he uses three Carbon Copies at once on his pedalboard. He uses the pedal for "Jilly's On Smack".
Board No. 2 is home to the Fractal MFC-101 Mark II Foot Controller, Keeley Psi Fuzz, Keeley Wolff Octave Fuzz, and a Keeley Dark Side Workstation.

Used on Tales From the Punchbowl and Brown Album, as stated in two interviews archived on the fansite Jim Wade's Sucky Primus Page.

And then I have piles and piles of effects, too many to name. I'd just start plugging and unplugging things. My main sound was an Electro-Harmonix Hot Tubes, going through that Boogie, or sometimes through an old Ampeg Portaflex. The super-distorted, crazy stuff is usually the Boss Metal Zone pedal with the wacky EQ in it. I used some harmonizer on "Professor Nutbutter," as well...I hope you're going to edit this to make it look like I know what I am talking about.
Les thumped and plucked his treasured Carl Thompson 6-string fretted and fretless basses, which he tunes BEADGC . On “Over the Falls” he used “an old no-name electric upright that sound amazing.” He also plugged in an Italian-made, Hofner-style Eko. “I’d always wanted an Hofner,” says Les, “but the Eko just smokes the Hofner--and it cost $250! It has a real nice percussive attack.” His amp? A small solid-state Gallien-Krueger, which he would occasionally sweaten [sic] with a Hot Tubes, a Systech Harmonic Energizer and the tremolo filter on his ADA preamp.
He used for some of the songs on Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People. However, instead of using it as a pitch shifter or harmonizer, he used it as a chorus pedal.
He had a TimeFactor in his pedalboard during the 2015 Primus and the Chocolate Factory tour.
