According to Strymon's pedalboard feature, Lukather uses the Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer pedal.

As for my rig, it is pretty much all analog now—no MIDI, just pedals on the floor that I can swap out and reconfigure without having to call a scientist. I run two Bogner Ectasys, getting distortion from the amps. In front of the amps, I have an Xotic SP compressor, a Jam WaterFall pedal I use for a wide, Hendrix-y vibrato, a TC Electronic Flashback delay set for a fast slap, and a Strymon Lex rotary speaker simulator for getting cool, Beatles-y Leslie sounds when I’m playing with Ringo.

Original source was dead so I changed it to a photo from Ernie Ball’s Instagram showing Steve’s live board.
