Evidence / Sources
Tone character: atmospheric, spacious, glassy, deep, clean-edge, lush, floating
Targets the signature atmospheric/tapped clean guitar texture, not a generic Deftones heavy patch. Koi No Yokan used Carpenter's 8-string drop-E approach and Axe-Fx II workflow.
Effects
Delay/reverb/modulation are essential to the floating, ambient character.
