During his Team Sleep days back in 2005, as seen in the video, Chino used a Vox AC30 sat atop an Orange 4x12 cabinet (either used instead of the stock speakers or as an extension cabinet). A surprising shift away from his SG’s and Matamp amp, he’s also using a Mike Stirn Yamaha alongside the Vox.

During this live performance at Bizarre Festival by Deftones from 2000, Chino Moreno can be seen playing through a Matamp GT120. It can be easily distinguished by its black and white colour, as well as its distinct Matamp logo. You can see it most clearly at 0:10 as well as 2:00.

In the YouTube video of the studio live performance "YOUR SKULL IS RED - WOODSTOCK SESSIONS" by TEAM SLEEP, Chino Moreno can be seen using an Orange OR-120 Overdrive (OD-120) amplifier head. This is identifiable by the distinctive lamp placement on the right side, which is uncommon for Orange amp heads, and the minimal model name print on the front. At the 3:51 mark, the amplifier's knob layout, input jacks, and other visual features are clearly visible, confirming it as an OD-120. The extra knob proves that it is the OVERDRIVE version of the amp.
