During their performance at the Revolver Golden God awards, both phil and nick used a 2 Randall cabs stacked with a 6505+ on top. next to each stack was a Mesa slanted cab. Phil had a black EVH 5150 III ontop of his Mesa cab. Interestingly enough, it seemed the Mesa cabs were mic'd, not the Randalls. If you look at youtube vids yo can see for yourself. I saw it on T.v where it is much much clearer!!

Saw footage from their performance at the golden gods awards show on youtube, both Phil and Nick were using Peavey 6505+ heads through Randall cabs. Also studio footage where they were playing through a Framus Cobra, which is not suprising since Adam D. from KSE produced the new album.

+1 #9 April 4 2010 Rig - Toowoomba, AUS — Adam Perovic 2010-04-03 15:42
Yo guys. Saw them play just last night at Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. Wasn't in a position to see pedals but Phil was using:
- Washburn Preacher for Drop D songs
- PRS Torero SE (the one with the EMG's) for all Drop C material.

As for amp, both he and Nick were using the old Peavey 5150II's through Marshall cabs. But given Australia is so far away from home for them and they were only doing a handful of dates over a week and a bit here I am sure they just brought their heads and borrowed cabinets locally. Because that is the first I've seen of them using Marshall cabinets.

PS - Nick was using Ibanez ART Artist model in White for all songs.

they had listed that Phil was using the EVH 5150III on their website for a few days, then they just changed it to a generic endorser company list. interested to hear the new tones as the ones on "this is who we are" are incredible! They have a show tonight(4/03/10) in Australia and of course on the 8th at the golden gods awards.keep your eyes on their rigs and let us know anything you find out.

Can anyone find a link where it says Phil uses the 5150? I see in his gear list on their site it says EVH, but just wanted to confirm.

i read on the as i lay dying website on 3/21/10 that Phil is using EVH 5150 III amps and Nick is using Peavey 6505+ amps. They also list Bogner amps as an endorser.

They are using MTS heads and R412CS cabs. It is possible this has been a switch for this tour, as a lot of bands are switching to the MTS series for live use. I have heard lots of talk about them not using Krank's anymore.

Unfortunately Im not nearly as familiar with randall amps as the other brands. But I went on Randalls website and musicians friend. The cabs I'm pretty positive were the R412XLT or RS412XLT (just one each since the venue was small obviously miked). The heads looked rather simple, def not from the XL series. Im guessing either RM 100 or a head that might be out of production.

OK. So I checked the As I Lay Dying site to see their listed endorsements. Here's what we got: Krank and Randall Guitar heads ARE both endorsed, in addition to Mesa Cabs. So looks like they may use all of the above. I'll add Randall to the article - I'd like to figure out exactly which Randall Heads they are using - did you notice?

On the Randall site it shows that The Human Abstract are Randall users. Nothing about As I Lay Dying....will look into this further.

I just saw As I Lay Dying last night in Raleigh, NC. They played with The Human Abstract, Protest The hero, and My Children My Bride. I was right on the front of the stage. I play guitar so Im always facsinated by pro rigs. Surprisingly though, I didn't see Kranks, Mesas, or Peaveys, they were playing Randall heads out of Randall cabs. At first I thought they might have been one of the other bands... but all of their gear was off the stage and there was way too much rack equipment. Anyone have any ideas what was up? The venue was a small club so maybe they have diff rigs for outdoors and indoors?
