Notes

Studio recording, 2005-2006 for the album '10,000 Days'. Adam Jones is known to layer multiple amps in the studio for TOOL albums, especially on 'Vicarious'. Gear confirmed for this era and song by multiple interviews and rig rundowns. Settings are estimated based on typical usage for this genre/era and Adam Jones' known approach, as no direct numeric settings for this song's solo are found in sources.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced control of wah pedal, precise timing to sync with delay repeats, and expressive phrasing with sustained bends and feedback, making it challenging for most players.
