My Own Summer (Shove It) amp settings — Blackstar Silverline Deluxe
The Deftones guitar tone for “My Own Summer (Shove It)”, dialed in for a Blackstar Silverline Deluxe with a Fender American Professional II Stratocaster. Studio version, Around the Fur (1997) — signature main riff
ESP Custom 6-string (Drop C#) with Seymour Duncan JB/Custom humbucker -> Marshall JMP-1 MIDI Preamp (OD2) -> Marshall 9200 Power Amp -> Marshall 1960B 4x12 cabs

The Blackstar Silverline Deluxe models the JMP-1/EL34 power section accurately by setting the Voice to OD1 and the TVP response knob to EL34. Turn the ISF knob clockwise to roughly 8 to emphasize the British Marshall mid-bark over American scoop. Because the Fender Stratocaster has a brighter, lower-output single coil at the bridge compared to Stephen Carpenter's high-output humbucker, the amp treble is softened to 5, bass is pushed to 7 to compensate for low-end girth, and the guitar tone knob is pulled back to 8 to tame glassy pick attack. Whispered verse: roll the guitar volume back to 4 for the clean, restrained picking parts.
