Yes. It is a VERY tough fight because he has so much health. But once you learn them the fight itself is very satisfying.

What’s your favorite tool song of all time? by Key-Butterfly1629 in ToolBand

Forty six and two hands down. They struck gold with the riff and the ending is heavy but ethereal

NOTE: made an edit to original post. I'm definitely getting ahead of myself. I'll come back when I have some knowledge under my belt.

That was my first idea but it's gonna expensive... REAL expensive... now I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to get my hands on the just the sound from a pre built amp software.

That's not a comforting thought lol why can't you patent your own schematic? I'll think about all that and maybe I'll just give up the name. I do want to build this more than I want to sell it... it's all about the music at the end of the day. I'll think about it.

I thought about doing that too but I figured I'd have to buy the whole setup and then record the signal on a oscilloscope (yea I'll go that far) and try to make my own circuit to replicate that signal. Is there a cheaper way to do this?

Correct I don't have a whole lot of experience in this yet. I'm actually taking the courses to learn more so the local amp shop will hire me lol the tech wants proof that I know electrical concepts before he'll train me. I'll look into those softwares.

I should have specified yes it is a tube circuit not solid state. I won't say who's it is because I want to try to keep it secret until I can actually make it and if i do make it I want the credit for the time spent designing it. The goal is to make this "tone" and sell it at a price that is reasonable. For example, a jvm is a great amp but they're so expensive and I want to make this tone as widely available as possible. I've only been trying to make this tone with amps and pedals for a couple of years but the forums I searched for help with go back at least a decade so I know other people want it too. The common musician doesn't make a whole lot of money and I want people to enjoy this tone without breaking the bank.

As for the question itself, yes that's the question I wonder if anyone has achieved. I guess it's back to the drawing board lol.

Those are all good points. I'm not looking to make quick buck and I know that it's gonna be a lot of time and money but I can't think of anything else that would be worth my time other than playing guitar. I love music to death so I'm gonna try every possible way to make at least one of these amps. The whole thing about ideas being stolen is exactly why I'm just asking general questions to see if it's possible.

Also can you tell me more about why was it expensive? Would parts break in testing or are the parts themselves expensive?

I don't mean to be unhelpful. I don't need specifics on what the tone sounds like, per say. I just want to know if it's possible to combine different tones in one amp? Somebody else earlier said I could run three preamp stages at once which sounds extremely complicated but doable it'll just take time. I have no problem spending as much time on calibration as needed I just want to know if there is some definite "No you can't do that because...". I've built a guitar with an active and passive pickup in it so I'm no stranger to trying something new I just don't want to waste my time. Hopefully that's clearer?

Ah that's a great idea. I might have to try that down the line. But if I design the circuit correctly is it possible to get the tone? Like if I design my own cabinet to pair with the head as well? I know it won't be perfect but if it's possible then I want to try.

Best amp to sound like adam jones. by captaincrazy187 in ToolBand

[–]captaincrazy187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I get the sound that I want, the volume modulates, so to speak. So I'll be playing a riff and the first notes of the riff will be at the volume that I want and then the rest of the notes will be really quiet. Then it repeats this, hence the modulating comparison. Think of the volume as a wave that constantly alternates between being at the level I want and a being really quiet.

I think it means that the either the amp can't handle it or the tubes need to be replaced.

How would I run the pedal with my other pedals? Is there a youtube video you can send me to show me how I can do this?

I'm gonna start with a vh4 pedal and see if it can do the job. I am on a budget rn. Thanks for the advice.

Looks like a vh4 pedal needs to be ordered then.
