according to the official Fu Manchu website gear page, Bob is using a Marshall DSL100 amp head. In his instructional guitar videos on his website playthisriff(dot)com, he is often seen using a Marshall Plexi style amp head.

according to the official Fu Manchu website gear page, Bob is using a Creepy Fingers Creepyface, which is something of a Fuzz Face clone, but different... it's also actually made by the band's bass player Brad Davis(Creepy Fingers Effects).
