Schism
Adam Jones' tone on Schism is dark, heavy, and mid-focused. A Les Paul in drop-D tuning through a Diezel VH4 and Mesa Rectifier blend creates a massive wall of low-end with enough midrange clarity to articulate the complex time signature changes. Jones uses minimal effects, relying on the raw power of the guitar and amp for his huge sound.
