Does anybody know about equipment , guitars, amp that sum used to record their albums?

I'm pretty sure the bass is pretty much a fender precision + ampeg amplifier in all their records,
but the sound of guitars is changin a lot record by record.

These are just some things that i guessed listening, but my idea is pretty much this:

Half hour of power/all killer no filler: The guitars used are pretty much humbuckin guitars, such as gibson les pauls, p.r.s. (i've seen dave playing some) and the amps must be marshall and mesa boogie

does this look infected?: the sound of the guitars is a lot darker and more mid-range, i guess the guitars are all humbuckin, such as les pauls, sg, prs or similar...the amps, they seem to sound like Mesa boogie, Peavy or Line 6

Chuck: It seems to be the more various record, talking about guitar recording...sure they have lots of humbuckin guitars, but sound of coils is coming in (pieces intro is clearly a single coil guitar, such as a telecaster), I'm sure about hearing Mesa Boogie amps

Underclass Hero: The sound of the guitar is lighter then the other sum records, it seems that deryck used the telecaster for the whole guitar parts, the massive guitar sound may look like humbuckin, but it could be pumped with some kick ass amps, eq and compressor !

Any of you think/knows somethin?

I don't know anything else but I remember Deryck using a Gibson (?) SG on making of Underclass Hero.

yeah for underclass hero he used several guitars from les pauls to telecasters. Also a couple different guitars for the same song...probably got slightly different tones and "attitude" as deryck put it.

I'm pretty ure he used a Les Paul Junior in some songs. Not only have we seen pictures of him with that guitar but the sound is pretty recognizable in some songs.
