I have seen Tom use the LTD MH1000 as well as his too First Act custom's live, so that's where I got that info from, as well as First Act's fb page. The ESP guitars I have seen him using at SlamDunk Festival in photos on their fb page, added to the fact that Tom announced on twitter that ESP had sent him some new guitars. The other LTD guitars I have seen him use in the studio diary for Ruin and Hollow Crown, as well as finding out that these guitars he had sold on, so I could find out the exact models. In terms of amps, he is currently endorsed by Blackstar, and there is actually a quote from him on their website. I saw on twitter that he used a Peavey 6505 for the recording of Ruin and Hollow Crown, but I know that that amp was Tim's, and that Tom prior to his Blackstar endorsement was Mesa Boogie head and Marshall cab live, as can be seen on their VEVO account on Youtube. He is listed as a past Laney user on their website. He is listed as a Dunlop user on their website, but I know the actual string gauges because I asked Tim Hillier-Brook (ex-guitarist for Architects) what him and Tom use for both their tunings (I assume the 11-60 set is used for drop B as well.
