Editing Brad Delson (section)

=== Amplifiers and current rig ===
For the first two albums, he used [[Mesa/Boogie]] [[Dual Rectifier]]s and modified Marshall 1959SLP reissue heads live and in the studio, but during the recording of ''Minutes to Midnight'' Delson decided not to use much of his old equipment to give him a new sound. Delson used several vintage and rare amplifiers such as [[Soldano Custom Amplification|Soldano]] SLOs, [[Marshall amplification|Marshall]] JCM 800, [[Mesa Boogie]] Dual Rectifier, a 1972 50-watt [[Hiwatt]] Custom, a [[Bogner Amplification|Bogner]] Uberschall, and an extremely rare [[Bo Diddley]] amplifier with an onboard tape delay that was probably made for Diddley by Watkins (WEM). During live performances, Delson relies on several Randall MTS Modules to recreate the sound from these different amplifiers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.guitarplayer.com/article/linkin-parks-brad/aug-07/31016 |title=Electric & Acoustic Guitar Gear, Lessons, News, Blogs, Video, Tabs & Chords |publisher=GuitarPlayer.com |access-date=June 20, 2015}}</ref>

In 2014, the Randall rig was eventually phased out for a Fractal Axe-FX II setup, which is run direct into the PA system and a Matrix GT1000FX power amp. The only analog effect pedals being used are a Devi Ever Shoegazer fuzz, Electro-Harmonix H.O.G., and a Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor.
