Forty Six & 2 amp settings — Line 6 POD Go Wireless
The TOOL guitar tone for “Forty Six & 2”, dialed in for a Line 6 POD Go Wireless with a Fender Player Stratocaster. Studio version, Ænima (1996) — main drop-D heavy rhythm riff
1979 Gibson Les Paul Custom Silverburst (Seymour Duncan JB bridge) into blended Diezel VH4 (Channel 3), Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier, and Marshall Super Bass with DOD FX40B EQ

| Presence | 6 |
| Reverb | 0 |

01Parametric EQ block (emulating DOD FX40B)
In front of amp block: boost around 800Hz-1.2kHz to match Adam Jones's signature mid-range grind
02Simple Delay block
Placed after amp block; leave bypassed during main rhythm riff, engage for solo and atmospheric interludes
To compensate for the Fender Player Stratocaster's brighter, lower-output single-coil pickups compared to Adam Jones's high-output Seymour Duncan JB humbucker, the amp gain is pushed to 7 and the parametric EQ boosts punchy mids. The treble on the amp block is pulled back to 5 and the guitar tone knob is rolled to 8 to eliminate single-coil glassiness and mimic the heavy mahogany body thump. Clean verse: roll guitar volume back to 6 and switch pickup to neck.
