Notes & Caveats

  • ⚠️No official rig rundown or studio documentation found; gear and settings are based on multiple forum sources and era-typical Deftones setups.
  • ⚠️Pedal use is inferred from forum consensus and audio; no official pedalboard photo or studio notes for this song.
  • ⚠️Settings are averaged from multiple Reddit sources and adjusted for Marshall JMP-1/metal context.
  • ⚠️No evidence of reverb or time-based effects in the riff section; tone is very dry and direct.
  • ⚠️Presence setting is estimated based on typical JMP-1/metal usage.
  • ⚠️Settings cross-referenced with genre and era conventions for accuracy. Deftones' 'My Own Summer' riff uses a saturated, modern metal tone with tight low end, slightly scooped mids, and clear but not harsh highs, typical of Chino Moreno's and Stephen Carpenter's late-90s Mesa/Rectifier setups; the tone is dry with no audible reverb, and presence is boosted for clarity in the mix.
