It has been posted, but it wasn't in here so I brought it over.
And that's an MXR Micro Amp next to the 105Q.

Most of his effects usage is live, but on Bedlum he does use them a lot more than on Frances and Amputecture.

Not the clearest picture, but here's Nick Thieneman of Young Widows:
I can see a Morley A/B switch, Boss DD-?, Boss NS-2, Boss EQ (notice the heavy Bass-Cut setting), Boss TU-2, and a ProCo RAT.
He changed up some stuff on the last tour. New Emperors for everyone, too.
He has a Bluebeard now, but only used it on one song.
Are those the Sunn Coliseum 4X12 PA speakers behind him? The ones where the speakers are all vertical? If so I just saw a hardcore band from Milwaukee called Widower use some for their bass last night and it sounded phenominal.
That photo is actually post-Emperor Backline. It's just a studio shot where everything is in shambles and there are a few random bits tossed in. They are all (live, most in the context of this photo) 4x12(?) Emperor Cabs with the speakers aligned vertically.
Weezer: Yeah, Matt was two bass players ago. I think that picture IS Matt, maybe from a Rentals gig or something (but don't think he does bass for them anymore...) BUT I say it's Matt cause one of those red tapes is labeled "Matt's" something something.
Juan: I posted that picture before, so I know it's around here, haha. Still a ridiculous board.
Now my actual input! I can't find the picture for the life of me, but I had a good pic of Matt Armstrong from Murder By Death's board. Order I don't remember, but he had a Boss tuner, Fender Bassman, Tremolo, Phase Shifter (with a sticker that made it read "Paradigm Shifter," could be either a mod I'm not familiar with or just a funny label), Octaver, and EQ (sorry I don't know my Boss abreviations, haha), a DigiTech Whammy, Akai Head Rush E-2... That may be it. I can't remember what overdrive or distortion he had at the time, but I lent him my Blow Torch last month to consider purchasing, so he might be using that right now as well.

there is an octaver on that board... at the end you can just see something brown at the end of it.
Hmm that emblem in the top right of it right next to the ball of light looks like it says Sunn but you seem pretty confident that they're Emperor and I'm not doubting they make something like that.
P.S. = I love Russian Circles, such a great band. Also, what's the black pedal with one knob on Brian Cook's board?
Brian Cook, Russian Circles:
Man, that board's changed quite a bit since I last saw him!

Told you so
I think the one knob pedal is an EHX LPB-1 boost. Then of course the two Headrushes (v1 and v2), Digitech Whammy, TU-2, EHX LBM, and Fulltone OCD, those last two of which must have been new additions.
Another interesting thing to note: He's using an Ampeg 8x10, not his Emperors.
You might be right. That is a studio shot to my knowledge, so random stuff could be all over the place. That looks a lot like the Emperor cabs Young Widows had built, but that also does look a lot like the Sunn logo.
