double check that for us. The Atreyu site still shows they are endorsed by Dean Markley.

I just saw them tonight at the arigon ballroom in chicago and the jcm 800's are correct. the cabs are not stock marshall cabs and are all atraight with no logo. he is using the ltd signature guitars and not the true custom esp's which is cool because they are affordable and the exact same monsters he plays onstage. the trem covers were off for the guitar techs to have easier access. I haop this info is helpful and i'm pretty sure he plays light top and heqvy bottom strings. the bottomm having a lot of mid bite like a 52 0r 54

uhh, i've seen him with a peavey 5150 II/mesa boogie dual rectifier head with a mesa boogie cab, none of this stuff. then again, that was back when the curse came out, so maybe he switched.

I don't think you are right on that Dan used a Peavey 6505 amp in 2005, but look at any current photos of Atreyu and you will notice the Marshall amps and cabs right there. I just looked at photos from June 2008 and saw them. If you have other pics/sources let us know for sure. Thanks!
