At the Strapping Young Lad show last night in SF, I was BLOWN away by the guitar sound, thought it was super-duper awesome...Anyone know what they were playing through?

I know that at least Jed (and maybe Devin too) is a Mesa/Boogie endorser, but that doesn't necessarily mean that's what they use on stage. I don't know if Century Media still has the videos up for the making of Alien, but Jed raves about his Mesas there.

The cabinets were Mesa at the show in Hollywood last weekend, and I'm assuming the heads were as well, but they were hidden. 
Jed Simon is the man!

I was shocked at how tight he was as well as the clarity of his sound. (jed)...sounded like the cd but better
i completely agree. they sound beyond amazing live. you can hear a pin drop between the palm mutes. they were using 5150s when i saw em. killer tone for sure.

Yeah on dvd Jed said he uses Mesa, but the sound live (talking about the dvd "for those aboot..." never seen them live) seems really a 5150 really cranked up!!!
5150 is the amp men!

What I still can't believe is how clear all the sliding and low string bends sounded. I'm still shocked, really. If you haven't seen these guys live, you reallly need to.

Don't forget to give their FOH guy some credit too. The amps and the playing are obviously a critical part of the sound, but great ears at the board really take things to the next level.
