He shows his entire rig with details explanations of settings and effects Adam uses. Granted he is using a Hubert and not a VH4 but they sound almost identical. (after all both Diezels)

clutch71 said:Wow, JD that must have been quite an experience sitting down with Adam Jones. Most interviews I've seen or read he comes of a pretensious, sounds like you had a different experience.
jdurso said:Take it for what its worth but i had a chance to hang with him and Billy from APC/Ashes Divide last spring at a Tool concert (i have great friends... one works for guitar world and the other for the venue they played). Anyway i had the chance to sit in on my body from Guitar World interviewing him and I actually got to ask him a question... of course the first was what was his philosophy on getting his tone. What i got was pretty philosophical (i was expecting an easy answer) and went something like this: He doesnt believe just one amp has his tone so he uses "sets" of amps that each do something particular in shaping his tone. He likes using at least two if not three... one that handles his bass frequencies well, one that handles the mids and the other the highs. He says on tour he likes to try and keep it simple by using just the Diezel and heavily modded marshall... with the mashall handling the mids, one diezel the highs and the other the lows.
In the studio he uses way more and thats where his sets come into play... he likes to bring in boogies for his lows and mostly uses his marshall for mids but will swap out different amps for the highs... what ever caters the song. He want on further about how he believes in not playing just any guitar or amp but a particular guitar or amp... he said you can play 10 of the same amp and guitar and no two will sound alike so he plays them all till one "speaks" to him. Very cool guy... down to earth and very intelligent like all the guys in the Tool/APC circles.
