Tony Rombola has been the lead guitarist for the Boston-based hard rock band Godsmack since the mid-1990s. Tony Rombola has been cited as 'an extraodinaire' in the guitar world, by Guitar World magazine and is cited to be the only guitarist to keep an 'original soloing style' during the nu-metal period, earning him the respect of the guitar industry. Rombola is also a guitarist for the band Another Animal, formed at the beginning of 2007 and just released their self-titled debut album in October.

I have seen both him and Sully using what appear to be Marshall JCM 800s in the cryin like a bitch music video. Also, Tony has two custom made Les Pauls especially for him. you can see then both in the Changes DVD. One is black with a red binding and a custom graphic on it (can be seen in the cryin like a bitch music video) and another one that is black with an orange crossover pattern on it.

He uses 4x12 Mesa Cabs, not 4x10's. He still uses the Mesas as shown in the pics on their website of their current venture in the studio. He also use a Fender Strat on The Other Side for a couple of solos.
