Yeah, live he's playing some early 60's "Les Paul" SG's. I believe he also used a P-90 SG Junior on the CD, with a "broken" trem, for some twangy overdubs.

Here it is boys and girsl.....here is what I know.....

Daron Malakian uses Ibanez Iceman IC300 Guitars (which aren't in production) with Gibson '57 humbuckers in them.

In the beginning he used a Carvin MTS head that his mom bought him. Then when they went in to make the first album he started using the Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier.

After a year of touring the Toxicity album he signed a contract with Marshall. He used the Mode Four for the last portion of the tour. Then they went into the studio to make Mezmerize.

Upon this he wanted to make a sharper guitar sound, away with the massive low end sound. So he recorded with a Marshall Plexi and a Marshall JCM800.

As for guitars he uses a baritone (unknown brand), a Jackson RR5, a Les Paul and a slew of others. Once he went in for Mezmerize he started using a 1961 Gibson Les Paul Jr. (SG style body) loaded with P-90's for some extra bite. Also another SG with a sideways style trem, but only because it gives him some extra bite.

As for live amps, now he uses Marshall 2X12 combos on 4X12 cabinets.

As for effects, i know he uses the Line 6 delay. A Digitech Hyper Phase. That is about all.

I believe that they're Divided by 13 amps, not Marshalls. He uses them for his clean sounds.

I think the (dirty) Plexi style heads are kept back stage. I also believe that his guitar tech does all of his switching now too, hence the lack of pedals on stage.

Yeah come to think of it. I have read somewhere that he uses Divided by 13 Amps. But since there is really not much I hear about them lately. I forgot all aobut them.
