2 songs, each with a starting point and the rig from its sources
Tonelify's library has 2 Deftones songs, each with the rig reported in interviews and articles and a reference starting point on a generic five-knob amp. There is no single Deftones setting. Every one of them starts at Gain 7, so the differences are in the EQ, the pickup and the effects.
The numbers below are the same ones each song page gives. The rig for each song is on its own page with the sources it comes from.
Thick detuned wall of grinding lows.
Start at Gain 7, Bass 4, Middle 5, Treble 6, Presence 5, Reverb 2, with the bridge pickup.
Dreamy, textured wall of distortion over a heavy low end.
Start at Gain 7, Bass 4, Middle 5, Treble 6, Presence 5, Reverb 2, with the bridge pickup.
These are positions on a generic five-knob amp with gain, bass, middle, treble and presence, each running 0 to 10. They are a starting point, not the settings used on the record, and they will not transfer unchanged to an amp with a different gain structure or EQ voicing.

Yes. What carries these sounds is the gain structure, the EQ curve, the pickup position and the order of the effects, and all four can be rebuilt on other equipment. Tonelify rewrites each starting point for the amp and guitar you own.
