Here is what we found out about Adam's guitar rig:

Dutkiewicz uses Caparison PLM-3 guitars with EMG pickups (85 in the bridge, two SA single coils in the middle and neck positions), Maxon AD9 Delay and Maxon OD808 Overdrive, and Hughes and Kettner Triamps, with Mesa and Hughes & Kettner 4x12 Cabinets, both loaded with Celestian Vintage 30s.

Here's the Maxon Delay pedal: 

Mr. Killswitch Engage uses DR Tite-Fit.Guitar strings gauge .012-.052: 

He also uses a Sennheiser EW100 Wireless Unit:

as well as Samson Powerbrite Pro

a Korg DTR-2000 Rack Tuner:

and a Hughes & Kettner Triamp Footswitch. Before using a Caparison guitar he used a Fender Stratocaster with a Twin blade humbucker that replaced the single coil on the bridge.

If you look at the layout below you can also see he has a Boss NS-2 noise supressor, which all guitar players should have.:

More recently, Dutkiewicz has been known to use Framus Cobra amps instead of the Hughes and Kettner Triamps and has been spotted using Mesa/Boogie Roadster amps with Maxon OD-808 pedals (awesome sound) on Killswitch's latest tour, and may have even signed with Mesa/Boogie.
