They each have Custom Angelus models, it's probably one of those. I haven't seen the video.
EDIT: Just watched the video. Joel is definitely playing one of his Custom Angelus models. It's a dark red color with a tune-o-matic bridge on it. I'll try and see if I have any pics of it.

Sorry to Hi-Jack the thread, I was thinking about posting some KsE Q's. Anyone know what amps they used on their latest album? The tone on "This Is Absolution", and "Reject Yourself" sounds pretty good. I've heard they use anything from 5150's to H&K to Dual Recto's, anyone know for sure?

I was under the impression that it was a boosted SLO 100.

I think so as well. If you really want to know, ask guitarman967 on HC, he's friends with Joel.

They use Framus cobras....Im pretty sure...but not 100%.
TS: The guy with the beard uses an Angelus, while the other uses some sort of custom model with a different headstock.

Yup, a buddy of mine was telling me they used SLO 100's with a depth mod and a Warren Haynes mod in addition to a Framus Cobra.

That isn't a custom model that Adam uses, it's an old PLM-3, Pete Lesperance signature model. He just switched the hardware to black and put EMG's in it. And Joel doesn't always use an Angelus, he just started using those. Before that he mainly used a few different Dellinger customs with Wilkinson bridges and EMG's.

Remember when Adam D. used to play single coiled fenders?

I heard at least one of them uses a Hughes & Kettner Triamp Mk II.

Killswitch's gear is all over the place. Soldano SLO's, Peavey 5150s, H&K Triamps, Mesa Dual Recto's, Framus Cobra's, and I know Joel used a Bogner Ubershall somewhere on the new record. As far as guitars go, PRS and Fender back in the Self-Titled/AOJB days, and Caparison for both of them now.
Haha, Adam D. rockin' the Strat w/ the Duncan 'Lil JB in the bridge, back when he was fat with bleach blonde hair and a viking helmet. Good times

Haha I love Killswitch...theyre just awesome haha.
Seems like EVERYONE is starting to use Caparisons nowadays. I love em myself, hopefully I can afford one at some point. Their endorsee list is getting big. They shouldn't have those crossdressing asian dudes on there though...a lot of them cant play at all.

Um...Caparison is a Japanese company last time I checked, so a huge part of their target audience is Japan. If they don't have any Japanese endorsees that would be stupid. And which guys "can't play at all?"

I know that, they have some good Japanese guys...but those bands with the guys who dress like schoolgirls...eh..why would you want to endorse that? The guy from Blood Stain Child specifically...I dont mean literally cant play at all, but they've got hardly any talent IMO...Why the crossdressing?? I just dont get that either...

You obviously have no idea what Japanese culture is like do you? Ryu (from Blood Stain Child) isn't the best guitarist ever, but I think his band has a cool style. Also, remember that those bands are way more popular in Japan than over here in the US or anywhere else.
