[QUOTE=kurrptsenate]what parameters do u use on ur RP200. I have the GNX4[/QUOTE]

What do you mean? I'd tell you, but what exactly do you mean by parameters

dumb is me :D

EDIT: I don't really use the pedal anyways. The reason I upgraded to the 200 was for the pedal, and I don't really use it that much. I really like the built in tuner though. It's quick and easy.

Thats probably my favorite feature. I kinda bought it for the wah but after that I remembered you need the pedal to do it right... I was kinda mad...

:lol:

Yeah. Tom Morello is the best unofficial salesman ever. I wouldn't have ever wanted to buy it if it hadn't been for his playing.

random, but true.

I also find the built in tones to be great. I can switch from a chorus tone to a solo tone in 1 second.

Yeah, Morello is the reason I got into effects lol...

Yeah some of the tones I like alot, but the distortions, no matter how much I mess with the settings (I've tried everything), I still get a really... unemotional...digital sound coming out of it which I really hate compared to my amps distortion which has alot of feel and sounds 10x better. But I like having the chorus/flange/tremelo/built in tuner/all kinds of delay/drum machine and all that stuff... but theres just to many glitches that turns me off of it and makes me push it aside and just go straight into the amp.

Distortion+delay=my typical heavy tone

The drum machine sucks though. :-/

Anyways, what do you people use for acheiving Jones' tone?

Ok, so who all is involved with this MX project? Who is doing what? Who is coordinating everything?

this MX project=what?

:-/

Glad to see you posting here, Ken. :)

The online tribute band thing.

If I had Garageband, I would love to find out how to hook up my digital drum set and play some Tool songs. That would be sweet, I'd love to be able to contribute to this.

oh sorry, the on-line Tool cover band thing. I offered to put down some of the drum tracks and was curious who is organizing it. I'll need to mic in my kit when the time comes and all my mics are packed up. Lemme know a lil in advance so I can get it completly hooked up.

I know the Joz and Adam jones is god is involved in this... your ganna have to wait tell their online....

Ken, I have already done several bass tracks, and AJIG is supposed to do some guitaring, I believe. Dunno who's doing vocals.

Ok cool, we doing Stinkfist first? If so I'll get my mics and mic my kit. Im game for about any Tool song with the exception of some of Careys monster pieces like The Grudge and Ticks and Leeches. I could get through them but nothing that I would be proud of.

We should probably do it like this. I'll put the drum tracks down, send them to you, you put the bass line on it then send it to AJIG. Then well get the VOX in it.

Where do you think would be a good part of the forum to find someone to sing?

I believe Kage was going to sing.

Right here, Ken. I think Kage mentioned putting vox to Stinkfist. I'll find a quote.

never mind. He did say it though.

Stinkfist can be done first, I do believe. It's relatively easy...

It's a shame you can't do The Grudge, cause that would be super cool :p

How are you going to do this?

I know this might be looking ahead a little too far, but after Stinkfist sometime, do any of you lesser talented Toolophiles want to record a shorter/simpler Tool song? (I know Stinkfist is relatively short, but it's a fairly long song for me) Something maybe like Hush or Part of Me would be perfect. I could do something longer, but I probably couldn't do it with as much success as I would like. :D

Just keep this on the back burner for now though, guys.

[size=1]I still would like some input though[/size]

EDIT: Ken, you have AIM, right? Add me, plz-DrJakeDestructo is my name. Anyone else, feel free to add me as well. :)

NP: Part of Me

hahaha I could do The Grudge but to be totally honest I don't have the time to put into the song when I have so much other drum work to do.

I was planning on recording the song on my Roland VS-1680 then email or send it via chat to you.

What does DC play for the intro of the Grudge? is it something like this?

Or something like that? im not sure... that's what I hear.

Hmm the best way to work this thing is for ken and JoZ to decide what song to do and record...then post what you have, then guitarists and vocalists can have a go. Because just letting one or two guitarists take a song is a bit unfair i think :) Teh aim of the project should be to give people the feleing of playing tool songs in a band, and not just an oppurtunity for people to show us how good they are at guitar, as this is not the guitar forum :)

It'd be good if we could also get tracks of all the songs as backing tracks for all the instruments too... so there's the same song, just a copy without drums, bass, guitar, vocals, etc. I could do with some tool backing tracks :)

46&2 w/ the solo.

It sounded like Ken was going to do Stinkfist first...

Let me know.

Are you going to play along with the song, or do it from memory, or what?

So Joz when will you have the next song up?

Since the idea of the online Tool tribute band has taken off, why don't I start a soundclick account? That seems like a good idea to me. All of your guys' ideas are great.

So far on the list, we have Stinkfist, and then I'd like to do Part of Me. If you guys want to do another song, just mention it, and I'll add it to my mental list. :thumb:

JoZ-do you already have Stinkfist recorded? You made it sound like you had some stuff already down. If so, what do you have so far?

1) I do have Stinkfist done already, but might re-record it. I might re-record anything after Ken does it, I'm not sure yet

2) I will have some more Tool up sometime today, I don't know when, or what, however. It still won't be Schism or Lateralus, cause I keep forgetting to bring my pedal home :upset:

If your doing lateralus do you know how to do the end zoomy bit?

I really don't know how, actually. I am going to have to mess with it a bit.

Ah I would say your able for that and thanks so much for those other backing tracks they were very handy for everything.

[QUOTE=letmypeopleho]46&2 w/ the solo.[/QUOTE]
thats no big deal, 46&2, Aenema, and Stinkfist are all regular songs we play in live shows.

I'll start miccin the kit today.
