When I saw them in late August on the Carnival of Madness tour he was using a Peavey XXX (his 6505 was still in his amp rack, but it was turned off).

In addition to the Les Pauls he was also using a PRS SC as one of his Drop C guitars (not sure exactly which particular PRS SC he used, sorry).

And JTodd, the Budda cabs are actually used by Chris. Ben moves around on stage a LOT so I can see why you'd make that assumption.

His gear was shown in polish guitar magazine month ago (Gretsch Black Phoenix, Zemaitis GZ501 - Heart, Gibson Les Paul Classic w/ Bigsby, Budda Wah, Dunlop Rotovibe, Boss OC-3, Boss PN-2, Boss TU-2, Morley ABY Switch and Peavey 6505 x2). Maybe he uses both.
