Studio recording for 'Demanufacture' (1995). Dino Cazares used the Ibanez Universe UV7SBK 7-string with stock DiMarzio Blaze II pickups into a modded Marshall JCM800 2203 head. The amp was modded for extra gain and included a built-in noise gate. No evidence of additional pedals or effects used for the main riff section. Settings estimated based on typical 1990s metal production and Marshall JCM800 usage for this album.
