Jambi
Jambi pairs one of Tool's most muscular Drop-D riffs with a mid-song talk-box solo — Jones ran his amp through a Heil Talk Box, the same trick Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton made famous, to make the guitar 'speak.' He cut it on his 1979 Les Paul Custom Silverburst into a three-head wall: a 1976 Marshall Super Bass, a Diezel VH4, and a Rivera Knucklehead, each into its own 4x12. The rhythm track is kept bone-dry so the riff stays tight and articulate; the talk box is the one signature effect, reserved for the solo.

What we checked
Computed by a program, on this recipe, every time this page is built. How this works
Preset files — 1 of 3 complete
- Helix builds complete — every block in the recipe is in the file
- Quad Cortex 5 blocks replaced with a stand-in model
Which ones
Replaced with a stand-in: Gate, Studio Comp, D-Cell H4 Lead, 4x12 Recto V30, Room. These load cleanly but are not the model named above — the file will sound wrong here until we map them. Set these blocks by hand.
- Katana 3 blocks replaced with a stand-in model
Which ones
Replaced with a stand-in: Lead, Noise Gate, Reverb. These load cleanly but are not the model named above — the file will sound wrong here until we map them. Set these blocks by hand.
What we didn't check
- Nobody played this through a real amp. There is no human listening test behind any number on this page.
- The settings are reasoned from the sources below, not measured off the record.
- No audio has been rendered for this recipe yet, so you cannot hear it before you load it.
- 3 platforms on this page (TONEX, Kemper, Fractal) get a model pointer, not a preset file — nothing was built or checked for them.
