Hi all. Someone asked me what James Smith from Underoath uses for gear. I searched through about 600 pictures, 5 videos, and various articles, and this seems to be a hard one.
On the Underoath site, James says: "I play a fender telecaster into a orange ad140 twin channel amp head through a orange 4x12 cabinet. I use monster cables and a boss pedal tuner. Its pretty simple just turn up loud and rock! "

However, in the pictures of him live, he is playing a Les Paul more recently, and he is standing in front of a pedallboard in a few pictures, which leads me to believe he uses more than a TU-2 tuner.
Check this stuff out:
Here's a picture of James (I think) in front of a pedalboard that has what looks like a Line 6 DL4, a Ibanez Tube Screamer, and a Volume pedal:

Is this his pedalboard?
Here's one of him with a les paul:

Here is a pic of the band and you can see pedalbaords kind of:

Here he is in front of another pedalboard:

Here's an older pic in which he has a 52' looking butterscotch tele (also can see the orange amps):

Here is a recent pic of the band's gear. Hard to tell, but looks like maybe James has a pedalboard way back right:

So that is what I have. We really need someone to go to a show and tell us what the deal is.
