Adam Jones 535Q Settings

[ Edited ]

Hello I just got my 18 volt 535Q wah(with the knobs on the bottom not the sides), and Im stoked. Im messing with some settings trying to find the Adam Jones settings. Was hopeing some people could help me out. Thanks so very much for all your time and replies.

 

-Dave

 

Edit: For those wondering what settings I settled on. The knob is 3 clicks from the top, the Q is on the 5th line( over half) and the boost is between the 4th and 5th line(a little over half). Sounds amazing.

Heres a run through of his setup by his guitar tech

Re: Adam Jones 535Q Settings

yeah wah settings not my forte but i'll have ago, adams base tone is the remedy herein' and w/ a 70? superbass / triple rec / diesel, is not all to easy to replicate even if your own all of the above, why you ask cause adam has found that thing most search for some call it beween the line others magik, and even still enlightenment, that being said, your gonna have to use your own decernment via your ears, cause and not to be a dick but what you ask is not disseemilar to those who want to sound like hendrix / frank zappa / michael schenker, you have to work the tredal and feel the groove, express the freqency, and fuck all just get down w/it...

Re: Adam Jones 535Q Settings

i'm pretty sure he uses the BB535 which is slightly different than the 535Q. i'm sure they're almost the same but i remember the bb535 having a nice adam jones sound especially with the boost function on.

Re: Adam Jones 535Q Settings

In the last Dunlop TV rig rundown they clear up the model, an older 535Q..

 

Jone's tone was the reason I bought my 535Q back in 2006ish...

Just set it where it does the most filter-like effect and go.

Re: Adam Jones 535Q Settings

davetheslave, bcuz your ? cant be answered with specifics "far to many variables" i made a generalized statment about whats between the lines ie: a ataboy pat on the back as to encourage you to take the foot out yo mouth and think about what  your asking for from the most traffiked site of experienced musicians on the internet, u cant possibly expect a staight faced answer about how to make a wah sound like a termite, now can u?...no offense Adam, i still heart you u too, and to go be proper n'all hey dave join us WELCOMe...

[ Edited ]

I got it off ebay Eti thanks for asking :smileyhappy: 

 

I reported all of Riffs posts cause hes just spamming with nonsense trying to think hes cool by running his man pleaser. Ive been playing guitar 15 year. Yes I can sit for 3 hours and play with the settings, but asking and getting a real reply never hurts either. Ive got it all dialed in now. Sounds amazing. Post count means nothing when you act like such a prick. Riff next time you wanna act cool try killing yourself I heard all the cool people do that.
