Adam Jones/Tool sound

Hello,

This has probably been asked a million times but I didn't found anything googling it.

Can anyone share a tool preset please, adam jones' rig is so huge I really don't have a clue where to start.

Thanks

As far as I know in the studio it's usually a blend of 3-4 amps. I think that's why it sounds so rich with different harmonics. AND he's always using less distortion than you think. Try doing a stereo split with two amps blended on either side.

 

here you go, it's not exact but I think it'll get you on the right path.

 

I think it sounds very nice! Very tool-like, awesome deep sound + very crisp high's. Thanks alot!

Question: is it possible that my CPU is taking about 45% in normal mode and 70% in high-res mode with this patch?

Thanks,

Pieter-Jan

 

I don't think I even looked at that! oopps, it's running 37% on mine in lo res, wow those amps and cabs add up fast. sorry.

 

Hehe np, min is about 37 too when I have no other applications running, we have the same laptop so I assume that's just normal ;-)

Thanks alot!
