Working on a Tool (Adam Jones) tone.

[Orvillain]

From what I've heard, they used a TON of different amps on 10,000 Days. Aside from his usual mix, he also used a good amount of the 5150 and a Rivera Mick Thompson signature.

Yeah I read that too. This is a good article:

I took some screenshots of the different blocks if you wanna try and dial it in yourselves. I only did basic tweaking on the amp blocks and I dont think I changed anything else. You should be able to get everything from these. The only thing is that I recommend boosting some of the higher frequencies depending on the recording you're referencing it to. And also, it shows a drive and delay block, but I didnt use these for the tone at all. I was just messing around with those. But heres a link to the screenshots- Adam Jones Preset - Album on Imgur good luck

You can export the preset as a spreadsheet from Axe-Edit.

Open Axe-Edit
Click Settings menu at the top
Click Refresh after new FW, so all the blocks will export the correct info
Hold down SHIFT+CTRL+ALT + Click the Export button in the upper right
The Export Preset as CSV window will open, Click Save in lower right
Share the csv file with all us Vintage Axe-Fx II owners

Looks like Maynard doesn't like tool fans. That's too bad. Have you guys seen this?

No that's not what he said at all. That article that is spreading is just click-bait at it's worst. This has been Maynards MO since forever, I can't remember the last interview about music he did that he didn't mess around with.

This article expands a bit on that: http://loudwire.com/tool-maynard-james-keenan-its-fanatics-that-are-insufferable/

Well that's good. He lives in camp Verde, where he does wine. I have had his wine a couple times, it's good. My grand parents lived in Camp Verde, I have spent many years in that area.

That's awesome I always wanted to order a bottle of his stuff. If you read/see interviews with him when he talks about non-tool stuff like his wine he comes across as very passionate.

FYI: I created a few preset at axechange for Tool songs. If you're looking for AJ tone maybe you can start there
