What about amps?

"[Peavey] 5150, Framus Cobra and then Fender Vibrolux for clean tones. "

"A Custom 22 – I have a green one and a blue. I'm using the Dragon 2 pickups."

In this interview, Adam talks about using his "old 5150" to record the majority of Times of Grace's "The Hymn of a Broken Man."

"I used my old 5150 a lot though – it's one of the first series ones. They sound the best. It gurgles and sounds a little more focused than most 5150s. It's my go-to head and I believe they modelled after the old Soldanos so it's kind of the same sound – lots and lots of gain, very hot rodded gain."

From an interview in 2006:

"IC: What amps do you use live nowadays?

A: I’ve got a Mesa/Boogie Roadster and Joel [Stroetzel] is using a Mesa Triple Rectifier."

In this detailed gear diagram of Adam Dutkiewicz's Killswitch Engage stage setup, a Maxon OD808 can be seen.

Adam used a Fender Stratocaster, loaded with a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails in the bridge, during the Alive or Just Breathing days.

Adam talks about his Wolfgang HT in Black Cherry in this video. It was modified by having the fine tuner bridge replaced with a standard Tune-O-Matic, removed the string lock clamps on the locking nut, as well as the neck pickup and pickup switch, installed locking tuners, and reinforced the neck joint.

Adam said: "I've stopped working with Parker now, although I USED A Fly ON THE ALBUM. They had a tremendous revamping of their company… so I wasn't in touch with those guys any more(...)"

"The Adam Dutkiewicz Signature Fly opens Parker Guitars to a new genre of music. Adam "D" of Killswitch Engage required an EMG-81 active pickup in the bridge position and an EMG-85 active pickup in the neck position to provide the heavier tones needed for his instrument. Combined with the many innovative features of the Parker Fly and you have an instrument that sets a new standard for electric guitars used by players of heavy rock and metal. The Parker Fly Electric Guitar is light, fast, and amazingly versatile."

At 2:18, Adam talks about using the TI100 signature heads, which were used on Incarnate and their main amps live.

"This is my special model, one of the guys who design guitars at Caparison was nice enough to draw me one of favorite things in the world on my guitar; pizza. This is my signature model, the TAT [model] through and through and it's based upon that."

According to this detailed gear diagram of Adam Dutkiewicz's Killswitch Engage stage setup, he uses a Maxon AD-9 Analog Delay Pro.

Adam's main guitar from 2004 - 2008. Stock pickups were replaced with an EMG 85 and 2 EMG SAs.

He also used a 2nd PLM3 as a backup, which featured a rare transparent blue finish.

This gear diagram of Adam Dutkiewicz's Killswitch Engage stage setup shows that he uses Celestial Vintage 30s in his cabinets.

He modified the guitar, removed the floyd rose tremolo and put the stoptail style bridge, removed the locking nut and changed the regular tuners to a locking model. Also, he removed the neck pickup.

Adam can be seen using this guitar to perform Times of Grace songs in drop A.

Adam also talks about the guitar here: https://www.kuoi.org/music/interviews/adam-dutkiewicz/

A: Ok, cool and what did you write the record with?

Adam D: Actually a Schecter 7 string because, I actually bought the 7 string like years and years and years ago. It was sitting in my closet and you know, when I went into the making of this record, I just wrote some songs that just felt like they needed to be on a 7 string, so yeah.

Adam mainly opts for a single pickup in his guitars. This is to minamize the risk of shorting out electronics when he sweats on stage. However in his backup guitar, Adam has a fluence single width pickup in the neck, along with the fluence kse bridge pickup.

Adam mentions that he uses this for his clean channel.

Adam Dutkiewicz of Killswitch Engage talks about his Laney L20T-112

At :48, Adam talks about his black Caparison TAT-Special loaded with only a single Fishman Fluence Modern in the bridge. At 1:55, he talks about his backup, which is a transparent blue TAT-Special with a Fishman Fluence Modern in the bridge and a Fluence single coil in the neck.

From an interview in 2011:

"What amps are you using live these days?"

"A Splawn Nitro. A small company in the US. Basically it sound like a Marshall 800 with tremendous balls – much more low end than a regular Marshall. I like definition in the upper mid range – not too fizzy at the top.""

Listed on Adam's official Laney page.

Adam and Joel designed a pickup set with fishman. The set was designed to match the wide range of tones in the kse sound. voice 1 is based on the fishman moden pickup, but with a tighter bass response. voice two is based on the passive tone the two guitarists love. it is a more vintage/medium output sound. voice three is based on a more split/single coil tone. Adam opts for just a bridge pickup in his guitars. This is to minamize the risk of breaking electronics while sweating on stage
