Brian's used a pair of Fender Twin Reverbs since at least the early 2000's

They appear to have been refinished in white around the Battle For The Sun tours. He'd used Marshalls before then but it seems to have been just the Twin Reverbs since and he's used his pedals to get his gain sounds.

His rig is stage right in the video.

Brian Molko of Placebo is shown using the Gretsch G6128T-1962 Duo Jet during a concert in Bretagne, as captured in a user-uploaded photo.

"I used the same JCM900 for a long time but what the 6100LM does is give me incredible flexibility sound-wise. It's what I use the majority of the time, in particular the third channel and it gives me what it is designed for, that crunch. The crunch on channel two and channel three are actually amazing and I am really really proud of the sound that I can get out of the third channel. What I needed is a sound that basically had quite a full range to it, I needed a kind of a chunkiness to it and also a kind of sound that slices with a knife, kind of gristle but powerful, brittle but with a great deal of body." -
