Why these settings

Your CXLWZ practice amp is an unrecognized generic model, so only fundamental controls (gain, bass, treble, master volume) are dialed while leaving unverified knobs null. The clean channel is kept low to provide a pristine base for Stef Carpenter's ambient clean passages. Because the song's signature space relies entirely on lush chorus, delay, and deep reverb, external spatial pedals are recommended to complete the tone.

PRO TIPPick very softly near the neck pickup using a thin-to-medium pick; letting open-string chord voicings ring naturally into the ambient modulation is essential to capturing the floating, ethereal Deftones texture.
