Brian is seen using an 1994 Epiphone Sheraton II guitar in many Silversun Pickups performances.
From a May 2010 article originally seen on the Silverun Pickups official website:
No matter how hard he tries, Brian Aubert can’t get away from his ’94 Epiphone Sheraton. “It’s the guitar I’ve always tried to break away from, and I always end up going back,” he says. “It just feels right.” For the last eight years, the guitar has helped Aubert deliver Silversun Pickups’ fuzzed-out, evocative guitar textures.
In this article found on Silversun Pickups' official site, some of his amps are listed, including a "’90s Fender Hot Rod DeVille 4×10." The article is dated May 28, 2010, and can be found here.

Seen throughout the Live on Letterman show. Can clearly see this amp (or something similar) 36 seconds into the video.
In this YouTube video, Brian Aubert gives a rundown of his gear. At 11:54, Chris Kies asks about the strings on the amp. He says, "I guess I use these!" while holding up a pack of Beefy Slinkys. He then says, "Sometimes I use these, but what's the purple ones?" Chris replies, "I think those are just the regular ones." Then Brian says, "I think i use these and the regular Slinkys." He was sure of the color, but not the type. Also, the Power Slinkys are closer in guage to the Beefys. Both arguments point to him using the Power Slinkys.
In this photo, Aubert is visible playing Gibson Non-Reversed Firebird.

In this 2012 photo of Silversun Pickups' Baltimore concert, the Voodoo Lab Ground Control can be seen under Aubert's feet.
The LP’s producer, Butch Vig, was key to foregrounding Aubert’s acoustic playing – which spanned a 90s Gibson J-45, a mahogany Taylor, a 50s Martin and a Nashville-tuned Goodall in the studio – as a core component of its character, even after the music had progressed to a full-band setting.
