Rig Rundown: Zao

Even on borrowed gear, the metalcore pioneers are able to bring the thunder with a handful of ESP guitars, some Mesa/Boogie firepower, and a stash of gnarly fuzz pedals.

Scott Mellinger is a longtime Mesa/Boogie man. During this Rig Rundown, Mellinger was using a rented 1995 Mesa/Boogie. Mellinger prefers his Mesa/Boogie Trem-O-verb or Mesa/Boogie Mark V plugged that goes into a traditional Mesa/Boogie cabinet with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers.
