Thomas Di Viesti builds the clean ambient tone he uses for the melodic sections
in djent and progressive metal, all on the Fractal Audio AM4. The trick is what
he leaves out: the cab block is bypassed, so there is no IR at all, and that is
where the hi-fi, almost piano-like quality of this clean comes from. On top of
that sits a Zephyr Delay in Stack mode for the endless pad underneath, and a
Cloud Nimbostratus reverb for the rest of the space.

Amp used: CA3+ Clean (AM4)
