Stephen Carpenter (Deftones)
"Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter got into the zone with his custom 8-string ESP guitar which features EMG 808 pickups. The guitar's top features photos of Stephen's friends and family he misses when out on the road. For amps, he used two EL34 100/100 Power Amps that powered two Marshall 1960 4x12 stereo cabs. And for added low-end, Carpenter uses a ISP Technologies subwoofer so he can feel the lowend rumble his knees. His pedalboard includes stompboxes from MXR, Z. Vex Effects, Dunlop, TC Electronic, and the the board was wired by Custom Audio Electronics' Bob Bradshaw."
