Hi there, another Adam Jones post..

I have scoured the internet and the forum in hopes of finding AJ's Marshall EQ settings. I have seen a photo floating around, but cannot make which dials are which on his amp.

Does anyone have his EQ settings for his Marshall?
 
This is what I have. I am using Axe FX 3 1959SLP Jump

Presence: 5
Bass: 0
Mids: Max
Treble: 4:00
Drive: 5

No... (Plus his Super Bass is modded to be a Super Lead). He uses the Marshall blended with Diezel with the Marshall providing lots of the upper mid and high end character. Not much need for low end from it.

I have confirmed the bass is at 0.

Try these?

Pres: 4ish
Bass: 0
Middle: 10
Treb: 4ish
Vol 1: 4
Vol 2: 6
 
What is the mid pot value? Cap? 25k/50k, .022/.047?

If it’s 25k I could see why he’d want the bass off and why the treble would be at 4 o’clock.

Master Dave noted the treble “crashing” sound past 7 on treble in EVH’s amp, but when going to 50k that being resolved.
 
These amps are very bass-heavy/flubby in my experience... when you jump the channels. Even on their own without running another amp alongside it, I've found I can't run the bass much above 1 or 2 because the other channel adds a lot of low end.

I stumbled upon a person that has a handbook that he created regarding all on Adam Jone's gear. The handbook is incredibly in depth. I don't want to share it without his permission, but it is out there on the internet. It has all the info you are asking.

All good, but man, you know there's a LOT of us here that want to see that! Ha!
 
That's a cool rundown of his rig. That 100k NFB resistor off of the 4-ohm tap is a really low amount of NFB. That amp is probably a wild beast.

Yep, and looking at the settings in that rundown above he has the Bass Volume higher than the Lead. With the stock 330uF/820 cathode AND the Lead channel coupler is 22n! Plus the low NFB mentioned above. Bass on 0 is still probably rattling the walls.
 
THIS is why we are here gents! Elite info!

Weird it says Duncan Distortions. I thought he played JB’s???

He plays DDJ's. Duncan Distortion Custom wounds. He spent an incredible amount of time making this handbook.
 
I have the DDJ in the bridge of one of my Les Pauls....it's considerably more aggressive than my Les Paul with a JB. The Gibson 500T is slightly more aggressive and sounds somewhat similar to the DDJ.

Anyone that is interested in Adam Jones should really join the Facebook "Adam Jones Guitar Collectors" group.

It has about 450 members and the most obsessed fans are all there.
