What kind of amps and gear does each member use to make their performances so sonically loud? And what does it do?

I know nothing about amps and sound but its something im very interested in. I got the pleasure to see them live two times in 2023 and two times in 2025 and all four were the best sound experiences ive ever witnessed, words couldn’t bring it to justice. It looked like they all had large amps placed behind them (just like the photo) and many different pedals and everything was feeding into large amps they put on the sides. I was lucky enough to stand right next to one of the amps on the sides and feel my hair be pushed every time a kick drum was hit or a bass note was played. Michael at one time got up and moved the amp to face the crowd more instead of him and i asked him why after the show, and he said the sound was painfully piercing his left ear. So yeah whats going on in terms of sound technically and physically? Let’s dissect it as much as possible!!!
