" I’d like to talk to you about the meat and potatoes of the Dirty Sanchez guitar tone. Give me tubes… Or give me death! The not-so-secret weapon of my rig is my Peavey XXXii head (run through a Peavey 430 straight cab)."

"Last, but certainly not least, we arrive at the Boss Noise Suppressor. This pedal is KEY to Havok’s sound, as we have lots of short rests in our music."

"From the output jack of my guitar, the hot, tasty riffs make their way to an MXR Wylde overdrive pedal which I occasionally use to “fill the holes” of my tone."

They are set up in E-flat standard tuning (half-step down) with Ernie Ball “Skinny Top Heavy Bottom” (.10-.52) strings.

David Sanchez, the guitarist and singer from the metal band Havok, is confirmed to utilize the Madison Divinity II amplifier. This is evidenced in the "Morbid Symmetry" official music video, where the amplifier can be distinctly observed at the beginning and throughout the video. Further confirmation of his use of this amplifier comes from the "Havok / Off The Stage and In The Studio" Part 1 and 2 videos, available on YouTube, where Sanchez can again be seen employing the Madison Divinity II. These sources provide clear visual proof of the artist's gear preference.
