My Own Summer (Shove It) amp settings — Fender Champion 20
The Deftones guitar tone for “My Own Summer (Shove It)”, dialed in for a Fender Champion 20 with a Fender American Ultra Stratocaster. Studio version, Around the Fur (1997) — Main heavy riff
ESP Custom 6-string (Drop C# / Seymour Duncan JB/Custom) -> Marshall JMP-1 MIDI Preamp (OD2) -> Marshall 9200 Power Amp -> Marshall 1960B 4x12 cabs
| Knob | Setting (0–10) |
|---|---|
| Gain | 8 |
| Bass | 6 |
| Treble | 7 |
| Reverb | 0 |
| Master | 5 |
Set the Champion 20 Voice knob to the modern high-gain Metal voice to replicate the saturated Marshall JMP-1 OD2 channel. Since the Champion 20 lacks a dedicated mid knob, push treble to 7 for aggressive bite while keeping bass at 6 to prevent the 8-inch speaker from farting out on low notes. Tune to Drop C# (Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) to get the necessary low-end resonance and slack string attack. Clean verse: roll guitar volume down to 3-4 and switch to neck pickup.
