Dino Cazares' Gear

Hide incorrect submissions

This was his main guitar until he went to Ibanez in 1995/1996. It had a few modifications, such as the bridge only having one EMG 81 pickup, and was detuned to B tuning. He can be seen playing on this guitar on the music video for Fear Factory's 'Replica', as well as several live videos from 1992 to 1995, such as the Dynamo Festival (you can see it at various points during the video, but the clearest recording of it is at 4:06).

We take zillions of flights and travel everywhere, and you want to take your sound with you. Depending on the location, when you rent gear, you can’t be sure what you're going to get. You might get there and the amp is just beat to hell.

With POD HD, your tone is with you wherever you go. It’s consistent everywhere. Nine times out of ten, I’m using a POD direct to a PA system, direct to the monitor system, and that’s about it.

I'm using a POD direct to the PAFor traveling, it’s so convenient. I just put POD HD Pro in a four-space rack with a Relay G90 wireless. So everything I'm recording with, everything that I use to travel around the world, is in compact enough to just carry onto a plane.

Another great thing about POD HD and G90 is that they’re 220/240 ready as well. All you do is change the plug. I don't really need converters or anything else.
