Mike uses a Mesa Boogie F-30 series amp and a Fender Deluxe Reverb.

Effect Pedals:
Looking through some terrible pictures and through videos, I’ve found he uses these effects:
- Boss TU-3 Tuner
- Lexicon LPX-1 (discontinued)
- EHX Freeze
- EHX POG
- Codtone Bunyip Overdrive
- Xotic RC Booster

Watching him he used a Rocaforte combo with a power amp and extra speakers hard to see the amps you mentioned but I’m going by recent videos
