sorry bud, he's playing peavey 6505's. i just saw a gear run down form his tech from a week or two ago. he uses the 6505's for dirty and the POD pro 3 for cleans
I've found out what it was. I was his signature model, just in a white finish.
Tbh mate it could just be a backup guitar or one out of his collection. Just like he used to play some jacksons a while ago insted of his ESP
Yer he is using the rectifiers as seen in his rock house video. and both matt and him use mesa cabs

I think he used marshall heads live a couple of times to but, yeah thats about all really.
Not quite, Padge was actually using his Dave Mustaine Signature V for that video. He seems to really have a thing for that guitar.
he used marshall for hand of blood that was about it, i think, dont quote me on that hahhah
Tube screamer is not just an overdrive pedal...
it's for all channels...
