The thing with this is its probably changed weeks after this was created. Other than the bf3 and ce boss pedals his pedal board is completely changed since lateralus came out.
the pedalboard in this video is from his 2019-2020 setup, as of now it has not changed, other than the Providence and Micro Flanger being in a separate loop in a rack unit
Incredible rundown! Don't have nearly enough money to spend on a few let alone all of these, but it's wicked to see how the sound is formed! 😮 Thank you!! All i could think while watching is "damn, it would be fun to jam with all these to play with!"
If you want to do all this without spending a lot of money my advice would be a Zoom G1Xon multi-effects pedal. That is what I use and if you have a halfway decent amp you’re good. It has most of these effects built in plus amp models like the Diezel. Will it sound exactly like having all the pedals? No, but for $80 or so you can’t go wrong.
What a great array of pedals and the sounds you recreate are spot on. Embarrassingly I can't play an instrument but I know what I like to listen to and TOOL is one of those sounds. Thanks for sharing your skills.
I just found this video and it's fascinating and so well done. I've been searching for finding the Adam Jones tone and sounds and you unlocked so much of it.
While diving into the rabbit hole of gear, try not to lose sight of the fact that ultimately gear doesn’t matter really, the only thing that makes Adam Jones who he is is his songwriting and composition. He would still sound like Adam Jones on a boss katana. Guitarists often get into this weird mind set of pursuing the road instead of the destination, which is a great song. Tone and everything else is secondary to writing good music.
I find it very interesting that he hasn't adapted to a DD-20, DD-200, or a DD-500. Would make delay situations so much easier. I started out playing a lot of Tool with just one DD-8 and messing around with the time knob to get what I needed for each song. Got very annoying. Didn't wanna fill my board with more delays, so I went and got a DD-20, loved it, but as I've been learning more and more Tool, those 5 presets got zapped up, and I didn't have a slot anymore for anything non-Tool lol, so now I just use a DD-500 and call it a day. Can name presets so there isn't confusion, and it is just a breeze. Great stuff! Always wondered what all AJ was doing with his stuff, and you're the closest at being able to explain it without having a full rig rundown. Lol.
@@liddlesj I have settings for a good handful of songs at this point. I'm not sure of how I could get them to you at all, but if you want them and know how I can get them to you, lmk. :)
As a little data, I can give u my experience: I use a dd3 like you, but the feedback knob its same as level (thats what I've seen on AJ pedalboard) along with a Phase 90 to get the tone on No Quarter. Its a weird combination but it worked. I have a BOSS BF3 and Boss Chorus Ensemble. The ensemble I used in some parts like Aeon Blue Apocalypse and the verse of Eulogy. The rest its like you explained: delays, flanger, wah, volume pedal and volumen knob on the guitar. Also: I dont have money to buy a Diezel, so I bought a Diezel preamp pedal and it gives me a little bit of Jones's Tone.
So I’m getting the Diezel VH4 pedal myself and already have the DD-3, BF2 flanger, and the WAH 535 for now. My question in your case would be, in what order do you have them plugged in? I’m also running a Scarlett 2i2 interface and KRK speakers.
@@Sybreeds first Wahwah, then flanger, then delay, then diezel vh4 (that works as a preamp so it needs to be at the end). By the way, this is my tribute band to tool from Argentina: th-cam.com/video/NEZfjFL0uE4/w-d-xo.html
I remember Adam started off with a marshall Plexi with one cabinet one DD and the EQ and that was it . Around the time TOOL did the Lollapalooza tour I can see how his pedal board evolved on the anima tour.
Hi. Big fan of the video. I'm a newbie to electric guitar and pedals. I have watched it over a dozen times trying to work out how you are using the pedals, looper and the pedal order. The tone is spot on. I've got a DSL40C on the way. Thinking about just using a GigRig QMX2 for the 2 loopers (less pedalboard footprint).
Excelente video!! Acabo de ver en otro video que el Providence lo usan Adam y Justin porque en una parte de Pneuma pasan de 115bmp a 117bmp y tienen memorizados los dos tiempos en el A/B Saludos✋
Do you think you could do this with the BOSS gt1000 multi effects machine or the line 6 helix ? I want to get one of those and your setup has the most Adam like tones I’ve ever heard. I just went to their concert Monday and it’s shocking how much you sound like Adam. Really good work my friend !
great video! In a situation where you are using an OD pedal (ie. Revv G3 or Angry Charlie) where would you place the Chorus? before or after? I asume Adam is going into the front of the distorted amp. thx!
To get his wah tone, is a six position BB535 (Rev 3) necessary? I've already got a 535Q and all I'm seeing for sale are Rev 1's. I'm wondering if it's worth it to make a change to a Rev 1 or hold out for a Rev 2 or 3. BTW I spent about $700 on pedals this week after finding your channel. OOPS!
No its def not necessary. None of it is necessary to play the songs. I mean you need delay, modulation and a wah. But if you have plenty of gain in your setup you dont need a whole bunch of it. Adam still sounded like Adam thru the bf3 dd6 old standard fasel inductor crybaby eq and superbass/mesa dual rec. Most of the stuff you see is for live purposes.
Psm 5 just disengages the pedals so it’s just his clean sound to the amp? Or just disengages pedals so it’s direct to his amp for his rhythm riff sounds ?
Ok, so I got the VH4 preamp per your suggestion on the other video. Could you clarify on the order of the signal chain? Is the carbon copy deluxe/expression pedal, providence, chorus, micro flanger all part of the FX chain as well following the eq, or are they separate? I've read that the eq goes back to the Wah, so I'm a little confused. Do you have the micro flanger going back to the Wah?
Hi, i’m trying to build my own Adam homes style pedal board, was just wonder how you came across the actual board as i can’t find them anywhere. Love this video btw hope you realise more tool content soon 🤘
Hey I got the 535 wah but I'm not sure which version. I have everything you have on the rev 3 except the big knob on the side only has 4 clicks instead of 6. Do you know which version I have? The 4th position on the one I have sounds pretty close to your version.
How do the DOD eq’s differ? Aren’t those 2 the same model? They do seem to add quite a bit of hiss. Also, do you know which phaser (not flanger) Adam uses on the beginning of the song “Jerk Off” and the hidden track on the Opiate EP?
for the pneuma and 7empest delay settings, are they the same as the regular DD-3 settings or not? and if not, how would you get that delay on the DD-3 pedal. that’s the only delay i have right now 😭 i guess i should invest in a carbon copy like you haha
That sounds pretty good bro, thanks for this review is very helpful! What distortion are you using? Is it coming from your amplifier, or it's a different pedal?
What brand of pedalboard is that? I love the rack section where you can include a power conditioner and rack tuner. Sadly, I’ve never seen this brand or style of board for sale anywhere.
What are you using for to hold the carbon copy and expression pedal? I havent been able to find something I like and I have a very similar board. Love the videos, Thanks!
Hey man this is awesome work! Please update more videos! One question: how do you go from a clean to a distorted sound using only the volume knob? I can't figure out how this can work staying on the same channel. Thanks in advance!
Not sure exactly what gear you're using, may change things. But at least for me it's pretty straight forward. I'm using a guitar with a SD Pegasus pickup, pretty hot pickup, but not quite as hot as Adam usually runs. I have my tone knob at about 8 or 9, gain on the amp is between 4 and 6 depending on the song, then for cleaner sections I just dial the volume down to around a 5 and back up when I need distortion, check out some of Max Niessl's cover/tab videos, he has a display that shows his volume levels so you can dial in your tone using those :)
@@antonioppk_643 Awesome, I’ll give it a try with what pedals I have. Won’t be the exact tone for me but should get close enough. Just ordered a BF-2 to replace my BF-3 that I got last week 😂
Awesome video! I'm new to using EQ pedals. How do you get the feedback sound with the Flanger? I'm in an apartment, so it might be because I have the volume too low on my amp?
in my old videos i also used to live in an apartment haha, i use the eq, flanger and delay for the feedback. pinch harmonics also help with it since they ring out nicely
Are the settings that are actually visible on the MXR Carbon Copy for Pneuma or are they for 7empest / Descending? And what are the second set of settings (i.e., the settings not pictured)?
@@antonioppk_643 it’s a DODFX40-B which i believe is the same one AJ uses. This with the BB535 wah sounds amazing.. and I’m only playing though a Katana 50. How important is the MXR micro amp to a fellow Tool obsessed fan? Still searching for a LDR2 vol pedal. They are impossible to find
Very cool video! I a huge Adam Jones/TOOL fan, and I love your setup! I might have miss this info, but are all the delays/modulation/EQ in the FX loop of your Mesa?
Hi, I've been watching your videos for some time and I can't get over how amazing it sounds! Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong because the sound I have is not even close to what you have. Pedals I use fx loop boss g7eq > crybaybe > flanger > dd3 > boss reverb. The amp is a dls 40c with a direct connected diesel v4 pedal
Great video, my man! Very informative and spot on. When it comes to distortion, is there a certain pedal that you would recommend to get that Adam Jones sound, without breaking the bank? I've been looking at a Diezel VH4-2 and a Empress Effects Heavy.
One more question. Pedal order. Micro amp to Volume to whah to dd3 to flanger to eq in loop one the there loop is tuner to micro flang to chorus to delays ? Thanks
@AntonioPPK_663 Hey thanks heaps for this! Question: did you have anything active from the start to get that distortion and the overall guitar tone before you turned on the eq and the others? While you did go over what the pedals did and that was super appreciated, can you please tell me more about any pedals or effects you were using to get the tone from the start before you switched the eqs on, or is that tone just from your mesa boogie settings? Please and thank you! Also, I didn't see a plasma pedal? Your help has been super appreciated
Great video. Tone is very close to Adam Jones and you don't need 3 amps to achieve it 🤘. Regarding using the BF-3 instead of the BF-2. Could you share some information about the settings on the BF-3 to achieve a similar tone when using the BF-2? Since both sound very different with equal settings I was wondering if you could share your take on it. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I was also looking for that kind of information, and finally found it so here it is: same settings as the BF-2, but with rate just above 0 (in standard mode of course). I think it works, but I will be happy to hear if it works for you too !
@@pkdgsj Hi, thanks for the tip. I have tried the setting and it sounds pretty close to the BF-2. My personal issue with the BF-3 is, that is sounds always too "digital" for me, regardless what kind of setting I use. Therfore, i browsed a little bit around on Reverb and found myself a BF-2 (1990-2001) is a pretty good shape. Will try it as soon as it arives and decide which will remain on my board 🙂. You should also check out the latest live stream from Antonio if not already done. There is also a very good comparison between BF 2 and 3 and the setting is almost the same as yours.
Could I achieve this with a DD5? I know he uses that on Lateralus and one other track I can’t recall but would you know if I could just do the same settings as the DD3? Thank you sir!
@antonioppk_6433 in the video I saw, he had it on top of the amp stack as a signal boost after all of the effects (unless he uses a different stack for the talkbox, but didn't mention that). This was a video of his actual rig on a stage before a show.
@@antonioppk_643 OK, and is the one on the right just to the tuners? I saw another dude with and AJ pedalboard and he had the psm on the right to volume pedal. So he could pull back on the volume pedal for a clean tone and then just hit the psm to quickly transition to dirty. I thought that was brilliant. Idk if AJ does that but I'm definitely stealing that idea.
@@antonioppk_643 Yeah, same. I thought the 1st one went to his wah as well. That's weird, why doesn't he just get a regular tuner that mutes? I guess he's used to his setup. I really like that volume pedal idea tho. I have been using 2 amps, one for clean and other for dirt, but that psm into a volume pedal idea intrigues me. Thanks for the info dude!
Do you notice any change in sound of your wah when you engage the psm 5? For some reason with my it always gives a weird sound when I use it to engage my wah lol
@@antonioppk_643 if I run my wah through the loop on the psm-5 it will muffle the sound something terrible. I also have my delays, and an overdrive on the loop with the wah being the first in loop. It’s an old pedal so I kinda chalk it up to that lol. Thanks for the reply man
@@antonioppk_643 FYI switched it around, also I had my delays going into my effects loop, they are now in front of the amp like everything else. Seems to be working so far so thanks for the advice!
Jeez that quite a pedal board...ya know, ....i missed out( god i wanna cry) a local sale listing had a dude selling all these Boss pedals from japan,shit i never seen before,and i never seen in america!!!...

Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong because the sound I have is not even close to what you have. Pedals I use fx loop boss g7eq > crybaybe > flanger > dd3 > boss reverb. The amp is a dls 40c with a direct connected diesel v4 pedal
put everything on the front of the amp. vh4 pedal goes last
@@antonioppk_643 stupid question but guitar > vh4 or amp > vh4?
What speakers are used for this tone? Vintage 30s, Greenbacks?
v30s
Ok, a neat presentation, work appreciated 😁
Great video, my man! Very informative and spot on. When it comes to distortion, is there a certain pedal that you would recommend to get that Adam Jones sound, without breaking the bank? I've been looking at a Diezel VH4-2 and a Empress Effects Heavy.
i have a vh4 pedal for sale at the moment!
Empress just updated the Heavy. Heavy Menace is smaller with some more options.
what pedalboard is that? as in the housing for all the pedals.
its a custom built pedalboard
dude this pedalboard its juust insane nice one
thank you!:)
Serious question. Can I buy one of those LDR2?
i only have 1 left plus the lehle :/ not for sale at the moment
Are the DD3 pedals the pink label versions?
i used to have the japan ones and now i have new taiwan ones and they sound the same!
Can you get the same amp tone with a Mesa Boogie: Mini Rectifier 25W and a mesa boogie cab 1x12?
pretty sure you can get very very close!:)
Awesome job!!!!
I get tone suck with these boss pedals. How did u get around that? Also all these in front of amp or in effects loop? Awesome video
all in front of the amp! thats what the micro amp is for!:)
One more question. Pedal order. Micro amp to Volume to whah to dd3 to flanger to eq in loop one the there loop is tuner to micro flang to chorus to delays ? Thanks
What's the tape on your pedals for?
its glow on the dark tape!
Pink/yellow label still made in taiwan does it matter the year or color label? Thanks lol
i dont think so, as long as its MIT, im pretty sure AJ has a couple of them that have different labels
@@antonioppk_643 okay thanks. I found a green label and a pink one but if it doesnt matter ill get the cheapest one.
@AntonioPPK_663 Hey thanks heaps for this!
Question: did you have anything active from the start to get that distortion and the overall guitar tone before you turned on the eq and the others? While you did go over what the pedals did and that was super appreciated, can you please tell me more about any pedals or effects you were using to get the tone from the start before you switched the eqs on, or is that tone just from your mesa boogie settings? Please and thank you! Also, I didn't see a plasma pedal? Your help has been super appreciated
just the Mesa doing all the work!:)
@@antonioppk_643 haha legend, thanks for that! If only I had a spare 3-6k to buy one 😓
@@lachlanwilson7800 you can get a dsl 100 or anything that is under 2k
@@antonioppk_643 thanks! I'll look into that. Your tones and playing were incredible btw!
thank you so much man!:)
Great video. Tone is very close to Adam Jones and you don't need 3 amps to achieve it 🤘. Regarding using the BF-3 instead of the BF-2. Could you share some information about the settings on the BF-3 to achieve a similar tone when using the BF-2? Since both sound very different with equal settings I was wondering if you could share your take on it. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I was also looking for that kind of information, and finally found it so here it is: same settings as the BF-2, but with rate just above 0 (in standard mode of course). I think it works, but I will be happy to hear if it works for you too !
@@pkdgsj Hi, thanks for the tip. I have tried the setting and it sounds pretty close to the BF-2. My personal issue with the BF-3 is, that is sounds always too "digital" for me, regardless what kind of setting I use. Therfore, i browsed a little bit around on Reverb and found myself a BF-2 (1990-2001) is a pretty good shape. Will try it as soon as it arives and decide which will remain on my board 🙂. You should also check out the latest live stream from Antonio if not already done. There is also a very good comparison between BF 2 and 3 and the setting is almost the same as yours.
how did you set up your virus? ive been trying to get the reflection sound for a while now and still cant get it. What patch is that sound on?
It's just A1 (or C1) default settings
Could I achieve this with a DD5? I know he uses that on Lateralus and one other track I can’t recall but would you know if I could just do the same settings as the DD3? Thank you sir!
you can achieve it with any delay pedal!:)
Great stuff man!!! How to set BF3 to sounds like BF2? is it possible?
it kinda is but i can make a video on that soon! comparing all 3 flangers! bf2, bf3, and micro flanger
@@antonioppk_643 please do!
What pedal uses to change from clean to dist sound ?
just the volume pedal :)
What pick ups are you running? Did I miss that?
DDJ on the Bridge!
@@antonioppk_643 thanks!
What’s the loop drink on the Mesa?
@David Wang shit I was waiting for a month for a reply and didn’t realize I said drink instead of trick lmao I love this
i can make a video on it tomorrow! sorry for the long wait man haha
@@antonioppk_643 epic! thanks for everything again
Awesome video man. What board is that?
its a custom board, i dont have that one anymore
@@antonioppk_643 cool, thank you for responding so fast😂
He also has a MXR Dyna Comp at the amp.
the dynacomp is for the talkbox and roland cube!
@antonioppk_6433 in the video I saw, he had it on top of the amp stack as a signal boost after all of the effects (unless he uses a different stack for the talkbox, but didn't mention that). This was a video of his actual rig on a stage before a show.
link me the video, if it was the dunloptv one, then yes the dyna comp is just for the roland cube and talkbox
Can you show a list of what pedals he uses?
as of now
DODFX40B
BF2 Flanger
DD3 Delay x2
Carbon Copy Deluxe x2
Lehle Volume Pedal
CE2W
BB535
Micro Amp
PSM5 x2
So the boss psm all the way to the right just mutes to tuner? And what about the psm next to it? What's in the loop of that one?
allcmy pedals are on the loop of the left one
@@antonioppk_643 OK, and is the one on the right just to the tuners? I saw another dude with and AJ pedalboard and he had the psm on the right to volume pedal. So he could pull back on the volume pedal for a clean tone and then just hit the psm to quickly transition to dirty. I thought that was brilliant. Idk if AJ does that but I'm definitely stealing that idea.
AJ doesnt do that, i also thought he had one of the psm5s for the wah only too, but the right one is only for tunners
@@antonioppk_643 Yeah, same. I thought the 1st one went to his wah as well. That's weird, why doesn't he just get a regular tuner that mutes? I guess he's used to his setup. I really like that volume pedal idea tho. I have been using 2 amps, one for clean and other for dirt, but that psm into a volume pedal idea intrigues me. Thanks for the info dude!
there are many things you can do with the psm5s!
Do you notice any change in sound of your wah when you engage the psm 5? For some reason with my it always gives a weird sound when I use it to engage my wah lol
i dont really engage the wah with the psm5s, i dont think ive heard any difference when ever i do it, what do you hear?
@@antonioppk_643 if I run my wah through the loop on the psm-5 it will muffle the sound something terrible. I also have my delays, and an overdrive on the loop with the wah being the first in loop. It’s an old pedal so I kinda chalk it up to that lol. Thanks for the reply man
@@Dieselpower994 try this left to right, psm5, delays, wah, and lastly overdrive
@@antonioppk_643 FYI switched it around, also I had my delays going into my effects loop, they are now in front of the amp like everything else. Seems to be working so far so thanks for the advice!
@@Dieselpower994 glad it worked! everything goes in the front!
this is awesome!
Is that wah a 535q?
its a bb535, but he did use the 535q 20th anniversary recently
lovely demonstrations lovely tones >
Jeez that quite a pedal board...ya know, ....i missed out( god i wanna cry) a local sale listing had a dude selling all these Boss pedals from japan,shit i never seen before,and i never seen in america!!!... I was broke at the time,dude even texted me "come on guy i only got a few left".. somehow he used E.S.P knowing i was licking my lips thitsty for some rare gear😢😢😢.... Well,you cant always get what you want.....but if ya try sometimes....nice chops man!!!.dont he use a banshee talk box?
i don't remember the talkbox he uses, i have friends that use the mxr one and it does the job!
Great vid!
Sick rig
Can someone post the dd3 settings
whys he use the mxr micro amp
for signal loss when the psm5 is engaged
Hi!! Nice video!!
every effects go straight in the amp or use the effects loop? Thanks
straight into the amp!
Are those delay pedals Taiwan or Japan? Sticker colors?
japan blue stickers
@@antonioppk_643 the long chip models?
@@antonioppk_643 or is it that big square chip?
yes!
@@antonioppk_643 Sweet man thank you!😎🤘🏻 do you notice much of a difference between your rev 1 and rev 3 wahs? I have the rev 1 and was debating on grabbing a 3
What is the song you are playing at 9:15?
Descending!:)
What is the girl figure on the pedalboard? Doesn’t he have that too?
its an old 70s statue that says i think youre nice! still available on ebay!
hey man, idk if ur gonna see this comment, but im just wondering where did you get the actual BOARD to put all the pedals on? is it custom made?
yupp! custom made!
@@antonioppk_643 thats awesome!!! if its not too much to ask, do you have any recommendations on how i would go about building one like that?
