His pedal board configuration is always changing, but the few pedals that always seem to stay are the Ibanez Tubescreamer TS-9, Boss CS-3 Compressor and the Boss GE-7 Graphic Equalizer. Other pedals he has been seen using previously are the Boss DD-6 Digital Delay, Morley Mark Tremonti Wah Pedal, Sansamp GT2 and most notably, the Ibanez TS9DX FLEXI-4X2 that was stolen at one of his shows.
