Dallas - trust the text descriptions over the image links. The images sometimes are just the closest in the image catalog we have access to, and are not always exactly the same.
If it is white like it says, it is the ESP Ltd. EC-1000t/CTM
I think Peavey 6505.
Both of those heads have two channels. You use a footswitch to switch between the onboard clean, and onboard distortion on a good tube amp. Pro's rarely use distortion pedals, except as a slight boost. Putting an Ibanez TS808 or Maxon OD808 (pretty much the same pedal) set to a bluesy tone, in front of a heavily overdriven tube head is a very common approach. It tends to make your head "sing" a little more. Put an 808 in front of a Mesa Rectifier, and it tightens up the floppy low end that amp is known for.
Sorry for my english

There's other pictures out there, but this is one of the better ones I could find.
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/.../...
