I forget what it is, but there's some website that has the rigs of hundreds of guitarists, Buzzo included. I know he uses a Les Paul and a Pro Co Rat II distorion pedal, but that's it.

details?  not really, but i've seen hiwatt and sometimes marshall amps,  and last year i coulda swore i saw 3 boss ds-1 distortion boxs lined up.

his sound has gotten a little less deep than the early days.  i guess that's because of the hiwatts.  i liked the sound of the sunns more though.  it's sorta like his tone has evolved with his writing.  the songs have gotten a little faster, and the deep, heavy fuzz of the sunns couldn't keep up.  plus since dale uses that smaller gretsch kit to record sometimes, they probably wouldn't be appropriate.  
but what the fuck do i know?

I have always seen the Hi Watt cabinets in the US, and the Marshall's in Europe.

this fucker buzz guy is constantly changing his rig.  yes on the last tour he had three distortion pedals and some kind of flange or phaser pedal.  the rack has marshall pre-amps, a tuner, and probably a couple of noise reducers for all of the boxes.
