I remember Chino talked about doing an Elvis cover at some point.  I think it was maybe around the Koi No Yokan or Gore recording sessions.  But I don't remember if he said that it got recorded, or was just an idea they never followed through on.

Elvis was a hero to most, but I never cared much for his music.  But I would still be interested to hear Deftones cover an Elvis song or anything else.

Premier Guitar on Youtube just released this video 5 days ago, where they interview Steftone about all his gear.  Pretty great video if you are into that kind of stuff.

Starting at 24:09 minutes, he talks about his pedals. 

It does not look like he is using the Boss FZ-2 right now.  But he is using a Boss FZ-1w (Wazacraft).  I am not sure how similar they are.  Maybe it can get very similar sounds?

He mentioned that he uses that shelf of pedals for some of the Saturday Night Wrist songs (Beginning of "Beware").

I played with my FZ-2 some recently... If I set the pedal to "Fuzz 2" setting, and adjust the pickups on my guitar just right, then mute strings with my left hand and strum a rhythm with my right... I can get a sound like what you hear in the Digital Bath bridge at 2:54. Or even some stuff that sounds similar to "Infinite Source".

anyone grab one to scan? just now found out about this since i figured "fuck it, it's been a few weeks and they just did another leg of touring. surely someone interviewed them and i didn't catch it yet right?"

Also just out of curiosity, can't remember if there were any Koi no yokan outtakes that we know of (I do remember the supposed DE outtake that they did in a soundcheck and I think 4 Gore outtakes. also an Ohms track that chino couldn't finish lyrics at the time)

i remember readinf ages ago that deftones had a demo/ outtake pre-gore era, so probably off of KNY or DE, cannot remember where i read it but it was supposedly called "Droid" or something like that. dont know if its real or not, but i either read it on here off of a very old thread or somewhere else.

nice to see a new fan around here, welcome!

I own one from when I was a kid back in the day and read steph used it. I think more than anything you can associate it with weird ATF sounding guitarrs like ATF's Bridge and some scratching and weird sounds.

Nowadays I use it to distort bass live & for a few layers in studio work.

Looking forward to Crest.

It has some merit to it. Kitesvera replied to the original reddit post, and id say he has some credibility. Earlier this year he also mentioned bsides, but that was long before private music was announced.
