Effects used in Jambi by Tool?

Probably a bit late, but here’s my guess after messing around with some of the amps that Adam uses.
In Jambi it seems like he uses four amps, and two of them are blended together and go out of one speaker (2 amp blend going through two speakers, 4 amps altogether) but it sounds like in the right ear he has a mix of his two diezels, his VH4 and his VH4 Blue face. I’m assuming he uses these to get the grit and growl for the intro. In the second ear it sounds like a mix of Bogner uberschall and his Marshall Superbass with a foxxtone fuzz pedal. I’ve played through a bogner, and it’s got the growl and the bass, then the Marshall with the fuzz comes in to deliver that really fat bass sound, and I believe the Marshall cuts through the mix the most out of all the amps.

Hope this helps :)

13 years! You realize this is a bass forum and they’re asking about Justin and not Adam?

Can you hear what kind of shoes Danny is wearing too?

Asking cause I am trying to replicate the sound of the bass drum on my bass.
