Tool: Stinkfist (cover\tone test)

[@perfectcircle0800]

This guy is seriously the 'best in the biz' when it comes to playing and replicating Adam Jones' songs,sounds,and tones. I've been following the band he is in since the Aenima days, roughly around 01/02. I've seen them progress into what they are now 'Lateralus', and I can safely say that they are the BEST Tool cover band in the world. You are the best addition the band has ever seen bro. Of course not forgetting Dano taking over vocals for Val. Keep up the great work, and please keep making as

Hits cig pre solo like a boss

[@opiateofthemasses]

@thr337 This wasnt really a balls out attempt. I just wanted to see what this mix sounded like. But yea short of having 3 half stacks, 8 mics, a full analog board, a studio room, multiple guitar tracks, and a sound engineer, its pretty trick to nail this tone. I went for the more "live" sound.

[@matthewwilton7778]

Your old stink fist video from like 2007 was the shit and I miss it very much. How could u do that your biggest fan??? What was wrong with it, you didn’t like the sound? It was freaking badass

[@luismarban6360]

0:16 How do you get that feedback? Nice tones!

[@antonioppk_643]

Luis Marban Flanger, Eq, Delay

[@thr337]

you're on the right track. it's really very hard to mimic his tone in most songs unless you can really blast shit on a full stack... that's where a lot of the depth develops... plus he uses multiple cabinets to begin with which makes it real hard to match. and there are spots where you need to switch off delay and you're leaving it on.

[@perfectcircle0800]

Please keep making as many videos as your free time allows. Can't wait to hear that Marshall/Diezel mix that your working on, live and in KZbin. So far it sounds great

[@nakiboy247]

Jim a huge fan of tool and have been for ever, you did yourself proud man. I'm impressed!!

[@genotone]

Amazing how many covers don't let delay play the main riff and pick every note instead

[@WyWyOG]

That's how Adam plays it.

[@nast096]

Fukin A bro! ...just got me an 81 pukeburst from a guy that went acoustic hehe, for a steal too ( i will never dare say how much I payed for it, cause all of you would hate me), will see if I can pull off your tone...

[@mattchewhadaway167]

This is so epic, been a fan since ‘06....I liked those older videos....u still have them laying around somewhere? You used to do a kick ass sound at around 1:27 that sort of hung while u went ahead and played the next part, I miss that bro

[@promizeband]

👍 awesome playing my friend. Sounded right on

[@wiggymccrackin8240]

Holy fuck! Adam would be proud

[@Timothy0430]

i love your vids man, love TOOL as much as you!!! but i would love to hear some original stuff.. i bet its awesome with alittle adam jones influence

[@PrkrBaird]

idk man. this sounds almost perfect

[@MrSloth147]

The delay in the begining was awsome

[@CJGuitarClips]

Loved the tone during the "something kinda sad about" part..... I'd love to roll up a j and jam with you dude lol

[@StevenzGuitarCovers]

Congrats on the weight loss man! I see you also got a new couch :P

[@moviescolin]

Killer tone, sounds awesome. I love the sort of fuzzy feel it has to it. Kind of like a buzzy, smooth distortion. Are you using settings that you lifted from the DunlopTv video? Or are you using your own settings?

[@opiateofthemasses]

@oioi99 Its flange, delay and loud volume.

[@Dimebag08RIP]

@opiateofthemasses You lost a ton of weight man, looking well.

[@JenovaDoll]

Finally another video. Btw what you think of the deftones? Can we see some videos of you playing their songs?

[@danielnoize]

How do you use your effects (delay, flanger) by effect loops of the amp or in the same chain guitar-amp???

[@WinnfieldCustoms]

awesome cover man

[@sgute691]

Have you transferred this into a tab??

[@opiateofthemasses]

@soadek1 yup.

[@992171B]

kickass cover anyway!!

[@tibbitsnbits]

Hey, I have been wanting to ask you what you think about Analog delay pedals? Could they work for tool songs? Everyone is telling me to get an analog delay pedal but I think the Digital Delay pedal would be better to play some Tool songs...also I am starting my own band and I think I want to incorporate a tool-ish sound in small parts of my music with the delay in mind. Any suggestions on delay? - Mike.

[@opiateofthemasses]

@r6isnum1 Pretty much.

[@Tyraello]

I would give a lot to replicate that sound, but I don't know how to pull it off.

[@Chenovski00]

the things i’d do to own that guitar….

[@theriffroom]

Your own gibson Adam jones standard is calling 🤟

[@soadek1]

Sounds pretty nice. Did Adam use delay while recording Stinkfist?

[@SideEffectt]

sick fog machine :P

[@89gtu]

Sick..

[@nakiboy247]

Jim???? "I'm a"

[@Sciro88_]

yeah! very beautiful sound man, can i ask you if during the verse or the chorus you are using delay or something other?

[@opiateofthemasses]

@r6isnum1 Pretty much

[@a1988ditya]

fuck that tone was great and so was the playing \m/

[@ManOfTheModOfG]

Hey man I was wondering how do you do those high pitched scratchy noises I have the generally idea from using a slide on Third Eye but do you change the way you hold the pick, like sideways or something? Thanks in advance

[@oioi99]

how do you do that ..kinda wavey feed back,,just with a wah pedal and delay...

[@danielmayfield4391]

How do you get that awesome feedback in the beginning? Awesome cover and tone!

[@matthewwilton7778]

This is nothing, his older videos were way better, just the video quality wasn’t good enough so he took them down I guess. Now those masterpieces are gone forever.

[@DalazZzGr]

iam not an idiot -.-

[@opiateofthemasses]

...erm...wut?

[@DalazZzGr]

...erm...your t-shirt :p

[@opiateofthemasses]

oh, haha!.

[@opiateofthemasses]

@SideEffectt Lol

[@bp5082]

Why haven't you responded to any of your comments? Are you breathing?

[@opiateofthemasses]

abie gail which ones?

[@opiateofthemasses]

@quaestuosus Lmao

[@LarryMarkel]

What is the modulation effect in the beginning? not the delay.

[@opiateofthemasses]

flanger :)

[@LarryMarkel]

It is? You got the tone dead on. His flanger tone always seems like a cross between chorus and flange. I've been chasing that tone and cant get it! The Tc electronic vortex isnt the best out there though. Thanks for the reply.

[@opiateofthemasses]

***** no prob man. Yeah its just a boss bf-2 flange. pretty basic stuff :) check out some of my newer vids, I update my tone constantly.

[@LarryMarkel]

Sounds awesome. Do you run the flange in the loop or up front. I know adams tech says everything is upfront but that wouldnt work for delay because they would distort, so im guessing somethings with adam will always remain a secret.

[@opiateofthemasses]

***** Nah I run everything up front. Adam does as well. He's been doing it that way since the Opiate era when he was only using a delay and EQ pedal.

[@maxstatic]

one person would rather be listening to Justin Beiber....

[@mrpersonstill]

May I ask what kind of guitar you have there? I love the color!

[@mitchelleo9581]

mrpersonstill Dean

[@opiateofthemasses]

@r6isnum1 Pretty much.
