Kinsella only brings two stompboxes on the road and the first one is this EarthQuaker Devices Rainbow Machine. He says he can’t replicate the sound of the Rainbow Machine to his liking in the Axe-Fx II, so he uses it intermittently throughout the set. Check out the track “Echoes” for some heavy warbling from the Rainbow Machine.

The other pedal in his setup is the Lightfoot Labs Goatkeeper 3. It's a combination of a tremolo and an analog VCA that produces random waveforms and glitches in tempo because it's synced with a metronome for precise sound manipulation and mayhem.

To cue all the changes within the Axe-Fx for each song, Torsten relies on the company’s MFC-101 Mark III Midi Foot Controller. It stores several patches per song and reminds him after each song what the next tuning is since every song is different.
