For the early days of Anthrax, most likely until Sound of White Noise, not too sure, he used a TC Electronic Booster+ Line Driver and Distortion pedal in front of a JCM800.

Quoting Shaunblives:
He's playing Fryette amps in The Damned Things. Not sure what model though.

You´re wrong he still uses his randall stuff, only channel 2 on T.D.T.

Okay...he had a rig built for him by Dave Friedman at RACKSYSTEMS last summer.
the rig is (2) Shure UHF-R wireless systems, a Korg DTR-1 rack tuner, an RJM Effects Gizmo, (3) MXR Smart Gates, MXR EVH Phase 90, MXR Micro Chorus, MXR Carbon Copy Delay. These are controlled by a Voodoo Lab Ground Control Pro foot controller. He also has a Digitech Whammy, a MXR/CAE Wah, and a Boss TU-2 on the floor. 2 of his new Randall signature heads/cabs, and his new Jackson signature models. Strings are D'Addario EXL140. He was running a regular Randall RM-100 head along with an EVH 5150III head for the 2010 Big 4 shows, but they have now been replaced by the Randall signature heads.

In an interview Scott described one of his guitars as this: "maini MISS YOU signature guitar with the hot-rod flames on it"

Maybe that is the one with flames you are talking about.
