Noticed on the Kimmel Clip what looked like a Splawn guitar amp being played. Can anyone confirm or deny? Just curious as I belong to a Splawn users group. The amp itself can be viewed at this location, about 1/2 way down on the right:

Confirmed.

He also used the amp often while recording the album.

Right on - thanks! It's a great amp - becoming known as one of the only modern amps that can capture the old school Eddie Van Halen tones as well as modern tones such as what Shinedown produces.
