Quoted from this interview that also shows Dave's solo career pedalboard:
This gets used a lot! I might use it to control that feedback from the hollowbodies on the fly or just turn myself off. When I start an intro, I might rock forward on it. I have the tuner, which kills everyhing, but sometimes that's too much. It doesn't have to be all or nothing!

In this Instagram post from the Killers you can see Dave playing the shop black model of the Revstar 502 during a show with them. If you zoom in on the guitar you can see it has P90 Pickups. This is proof that Dave is still using the guitar after being featured in some of Yamaha’s marketing for the guitar when it was released.
Dave uploaded this photo to his Instagram on April 25, 2017. His EVH 5150IIIS is beside him. Although part of the equipment is blocked, the number of knobs lead me to believe it is the 100w version.
