  • Pretty sad that you spent all of that money to play cover songs from a band that really isn't anything great. Try being a real musician and write your own music and find your own sound.

  • My BF2 flanger sounds really bad when manual and depth is maxed. It only sounds decent when it's at like 2 o clock. Thought the pedal was broken, but i've tested 2 BF-2 flanger. Still the same issue

  • Dude, THANK YOU for putting this all together. I've been lately working on some music with a couple guys from work, but I am VERy influenced by Tool. The amount of research and work you've put into your setup is very admirable in my eyes. You also helped me verify something about Adam's rig I've been trying to work out.

    I am working on my own tone of course, but there are some subtle effects I wasn't sure about how Adam was creating that I wanted to experiment with.

  • What is the knob cover on the mxr micro amp? Looks like a Terminator on there. Custom or purchased from where? Working on building board exactly like yours, good work????

  • Would a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Solo Head 3-Channel 100-Watt Guitar Amp Head 2000 – 2009 work w/ the Diezel pedal work for that? They're a lot more affordable on the used market than yours (the two-channel from the 90s)

  • Of course you have everything but his GUITAR HEAD. You know, THE MAIN PART OF THE SOUND…..sell some of those pedals and get it…..

  • Great stuff man. I had a question about the virus and pk-5? How do I message you directly? I agree 100% about the BF-3.

  • Which foot midi controller do you have to control the virus?

    What’s that siren looking light you have to the left? I think I’ve seen it on stage before.

  • Just curious, but why does Adam use two tuners? The answer is probably obvious, but I'm just hoping to learn something new.

  • Sounds bad ass dude! When I was single with no kids I yoostacould afford all that. Lol. Great sound, great video

  • Hey man, I’m probably really overthinking this and need major help understanding.
    How are you and or Adam getting those clean tones with the volume pedal without any major volume drop because if I just plug my VP JR direct into my Mesa I have major volume drop from high gain to clean.
    Thanks!

  • Nice set up and sound, don't listen to what anyone says, do your thing and enjoy yourself. That's what it's all about.

  • I found out, for the virus, Adam uses A3 +1 octave for the live version of sober!

    Also, the version of opiate they were doing live for 2022, is also on A1

  • Thanks for going through all this. I'm trying to recreate something close on my helix. Just not the same as a tube amp. I was one of the lucky ones that was able to purchase the new Adam Jones Les Paul Standard!! Hopefully I can't get close with everything. Thanks again

  • hey this may be a dumb question but i’m curious as to why you need 2 PSM-5s? in the video you stated that one of them has all of your effects/modulation pedals and then the other one only connects to the tuner pedals. wouldn’t it just be easier to add the tuners to the beginning of the loop?

  • when I saw the first tarus petals I was blown away then you show then guitar petal board and I'm all like well shit son kids not playing around at all !

  • Awesome shit man! Quick question if you have the time. Any idea if the delay time for Lateralus and Pneuma are the same? I see you using the other 2 delays for Pneuma or Tempest so I was curious if that coincided with the DD-3 you were using as well. I'm using a DD20, and I'm trying to do a tool preset (or two if needbe) as the band I play in rehearses those two songs for fun. Cheers!

  • Where did you get or how did you build the physical pedalboard? I’ve always liked how he had the angled second tier, but I’ve yet to be able to find anything similar.
