The Mesa Boogie amps that your are talkin about are Eric Bass's amps. He has a bass amp and a guitar amp for distorted tones.

Zach is endorsed by Engl amps and uses their invader heads and cabinets. In a recent interview he said that he is getting his Engl head remade and he is also using a bogner alchemist head.
