According to guitar.com, Nergal used the amp during for his side-project, Me And That Man, and the 2021 album "New Man, New Songs, Same Shit, Vol. 2".

Nergal’s not using the same guitar gear for Me And That Man as he is for Behemoth. It’s “a completely different set of tools,” he tells us, starting with his amplifier. “It’s some Peavey Classic combo I got years ago. I remember, I was hooked up with Peavey through Behemoth – I was using their 6505, and I asked them about an amp for Me And That Man and they sent this vintage-sounding combo. So it’s that combined with a Gretsch, it doesn’t really need much more than just a boost in between. For the recent shows I used my LCFR boost pedal, which is obviously meant for extreme metal, but I tried it for the blues-oriented stuff and it did the trick as well.”

Taken from this post which also discusses the live pedalboard used by Nergal:

In between the songs there’s hardly any time for improvisation because everything is prearranged and pre-planned for the click and if the click goes we must be ready to go. So I’ll have to very quickly tune when I can.

They are not using their gear in this video . They borrowed it from other band playing this stage . The Ibanez logo is covered , but the only guitar before 2015 that matches this look is ARZ700 - it is glossy , has EMGs , silver bridge , no inlays on the neck , white binding . Cheap guitar , but very comfortable and great playing LP for metal .
