Look on FB , to their official page, on some picture you could see the pedalboard
That`s easy, because on the 6505 there`s another channel and probably he uses that channel as clean channel or, if not, he can go to the neck pickup, i think the EMG 60 as a really great clean tone, so it`s probably that!
If you're using a Peavy 6505/6505+, you don't need a distortion pedal at all. They have WAY too much gain. Plus, the "clean' channel won't be accepting of a distortion pedal since its way too dirty.
If anything, you need a overdrive pedal with the distortion completely off if you want a tighter sound.
Checkout this picture from a Guitar World diagram that shows Skaff's gear, including the whammy. I think it is probably an older rig layout because his more recent rig doesn't seem to have the whammy. 1.bp.blogspot.com/.../...
