Deftones co-founder and lead guitarist Stephen Carpenter's guitar tone has been pored over and emulated by many a fan. However, Carpenter has recently revealed his hot take on factory presets – and teased the tones we can expect on the band's highly-anticipated upcoming album.
“I actually have an Axe-Fx in my rig, right, but I'm married to it because I used it on the Koi [No Yokan, Deftones' seventh studio album] record – I use four or five different factory presets on songs. There's no way I'm gonna achieve those effects with anything else,” he says on the Rock Feed Podcast.
