Dug it, man. Classic tone right there. Gonna sound sick blended with the Diezel.
 
That's what I'm talkin' about! I always tell people a cranked JMP is all you need for Tool. People always focus on the Diezel, but that sound is all Marshall. And no need for a boost or anything. Well done. :D
 
you definitely nailed the Adam Jones sound, i'm surprised how good it sounds with no boost, super clear and tight and easily enough gain

I've also been saying this since I bought my Superbass like 10 years ago. :D :rock:

Sounds good, OP!
 
What were your settings? With the JMP I built to Adam's amp's specs I usually set it somewhere around this:

Presence: 10:30
Bass: Almost zero
Mid: Dimed
Treble: 11:00
Bright Gain: 2:30/3:00
Normal Gain: 12:00
Channels jumped

If you want to get even closer to Adam's sound, his amp has the .68 cap in V2. And the caps in both V1 stages are 0.022 As well as a .68 presence cap, and NFB is 100k on the 4 ohm tap.

Here's a quick clip I did a few years ago when I first built the amp. It's a little stiffer sounding than a real Marshall due to the Mercury Magnetics transformers I used. And it sounds better now that it's broken in. But you get the idea. :)

Ignore all the mindless noodling a the beginning and start at the 4:00 mark for Tool stuff. :D

This is very close to my Superbass settings except I usually dime the bright volume and I use a Y cable into the two high inputs to bridge my channels.

Interesting. I've never tried a Y cable. I just a short patch cable to jump the inputs and plug guitar into amp.

Thats how I used to do it as well. A friend of mine who techs turned me onto it as he said thats how Eric Johnson has always done it. If you get a chance, try it out as there is a noticeable difference between the two!

I will def try it. All this talk of JMPs makes me miss the Metro I built. It's currently sitting on a shelf at my buddy's house a few thousand miles away. :( I need to take it back with me when I visit him next month. We were filming a project and used it in the video but I left it there. Then I built a Ceriatone JCM800 but gave it to my niece to use so she could learn to play guitar.
