No One Knows
No One Knows features Josh Homme's signature desert rock tone: an Ovation GP guitar detuned to C-standard through an Ampeg bass amp for a thick, woolly wall of low-end. The unconventional use of a bass amp gives the guitar an enormous, earth-shaking fundamental that no guitar amp can replicate. The tone is heavy but not conventionally distorted -- it's more of a massive, compressed crunch.
