Does anyone know more about El Hefe's rig and gear. I can hardly find any information about it.

i saw them yesterday in Hamburg (germany) and he updated his rig with a Mesa Mark V. He mostly plays the second channel (rhythm) for distortion. He has a new case, which only contains the mesa and has a wireless on top of it.
Guitar (ESP) and Effects looked the same, maybe one more (couldnt see it good enough).
El Hefe plays a Friedman Amp (Marshall style) now.

He uses the green Tortex picks.. most of his signature picks have "Melvin Sucks" on them in black print.
