Quoting Yan from Up2Ten:
Don't forget about his robot mic stand developped to move the mic around the speakers to mic a different way every song live and in studio. You will find some infos about it on youtube, people always ask him about it!


He dose not use the robot mic live.

Yup, quite a late response, but I saw a photo of Rich in the studio with a rack of amps, and I seen him using a Soldano Decatone, along with a Marshall. I couldn't tell what Marshall because the control panel was cut off, but it had the JCM-style head box.
And I think he also uses a Roland JC120 combo for cleans on LIFAD.
Also, when did he switch do Dimarzio? Must of been very temporary if he's still seen using EMG's.

Looks like it was a 2008 interview where he said he had started using Dimarzio musicplayers.com/.../0108_Emigrate.php

+4 # What about his other amps? — Kostas 2009-09-09 17:41
In his webpage he clearly states that he uses Rath Amps as well (German-mande solid-state amps if I am not mistaken), and also on Wikipedia it states that he is also using ENGL amps and effects by T-rex engineering, Rocktron and Digitech.
Great list none-the-less, keep up the good work, your site is a source of much info for me, a true encyclopedia! :-)

The RATH amps were used in the 90's according to those sources.

What webpage of his are you viewing that clearly says he is using rath amps now? Hook us up and we'll investigate.

Last year he said he was using Mesa and Soldano...
