Hey Dr Rickzo. Adam D does indeed use two noise gates at once. The boss NS2 for the front end of the amp after his pedals and the second , (the ISP i would think cause its the most transparent) in the effects loop. this cuts out all unwanted noise without dialing either pedal enough to suck out any tone. so each one has its own assigned section to cover. the Front End , and the PREamp. this works wonders for me and my 5150.

Adam played drums on the first kse album unless you mean his first on guitar.

On his myspace page it says Ibanez Guitars and he has not got a Parker Signature model according to the website.

does he use 85/sa/sa, or 81/sa/sa. and i'd like some proof also, because in guitarworld when they show his rig, it says sa/sa/81, and almost everywhere else it's 85, not 81.

I've just arrived from their concert here in Sao Paulo, Brazil (South American Tour 09). Adam and Joel used the "2 channel Original Mesa Dual Rectifier" + Marshall Cabs + Fender Twin Reverb.

No, he just uses one of the noise reduction pedals at once. Many of the lists on this site include all the equipment that a musician has been seen using over a long span of time. So imagine it like you were looking in their closet at all the gear the player owns. They may not use it all at once. Many like to change it up time to time.

He uses an ISP Decimator, AND a boss noise suppressor? At the same time? Why would he use two noise reduction units?
That makes no sense. Can someone explain that to me. :0

+1 #6 Update, and Clean Amps.Casey 2009-08-02 08:16
In a recent vid of KSE at the Download Festival, Adam was seen with six Mesa Boogie 4x12 cabs, along with a Fender Twin Reverb for cleans. Joel was usin' Boogie 4x12s as well, but I think he had his Fuchs Clean Machine instead of a Fender Twin.

I also saw an older vid where both Adam and Joel were usin' Mesa Triple Rectifiers along with Vox AC30s for cleans.

And finally, in a interview, they said that for a majority of the rythmn parts of the new album were done with a Diezel VH4, and were overdubbed with a Splawn Nitro and a Fuchs Tripledrive.
They also said that they keep their overdrive pedals on the entire time, but turn the gain all the way down, for more bite to their tone.
And for the song "Take Me Away", they used a Fender Twin Reverb and an Orange Tiny Terror for the cleans and "dirty" cleans, and they tuned their guitars to D Standard instead of Drop C.

I read in the new issue of GuitarWorld that Adam is now using a Splawn Nitro with a matching speaker cad loaded with Celestion Vintage 30s along with his new signature Parker Fly.

Joel is using a Nitro as well along with a Fuchs Viper; both go into Mesa 4x12 cabs, and he is using a Fuchs Clean Machine Combo for clean tones. Guitar wise, he said he's using a Caparison TAT Custom.

In a past issue they said that both Adam and Joel were experimenting with new amps including Diezels, Splawns, Oranges, and Fuchs along with various overdrive and delay pedals for the new album.
