TOOL GUITARIST SHOWS YOU HIS TOOLS

Mega dork-out time! Ready for a trip through Tool guitarist Adam Jones’ live guitar rig? Of course you are!

Jones’ rig is actually pretty simple. No computer-controlled switching boards or rackmounts… just old-school pedals hooked up to a couple of different amp configurations (controlled by an A/B switch, I’m guessing, though one isn’t shown). There are also some neat synth doodads he controls for all that spacey in-between shit Tool does. And though Jones certainly isn’t the most technical guitarist around, his tone has always been impeccable; moar isn’t always better.
