You can see the Divided by 13 under the Kemper in this photo. He used it a lot on their 2012 tour, you can see he has a few FTR37s on stage in some grainy videos of their 2012 Dallas show.
Vallin's 2012 pedalboard was built by Tour Supply Inc's Duane Burda- he posted a photo of the board on 3/14/12 on Tour Supply Inc's facebook page and also says Vallin uses a FTR37 in this forum thread https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/sergio-vallin-pedal-board.1082703/. Most of the overdrive sounds come from the amps, the drive pedals are only used when the amp couldn't supply all the necessary gain. 1 of the channels is for the Fenders, the other is for the Gibsons. Cleans are probably for the Fenders, he's mostly a strat player.
