Jerry is underrated in the guitar community. He is absolutely incredible and his guitar tone is the ballsiest thing I’ve ever heard.

[goudagirl]

Jerry broke one of his hands many years ago, and was completely freaked out that he might never play again. He even toured without playing the guitar while his hand healed. Yikes. But thanks to metal plates and pins, he came through with flying colors. Can't imagine a world without Jerry's amazing riffs!

Always good to see Cantrell getting some love

[rickaitkins]

There's a mic placement secret you might not know about which Jerry incorporated; DUAL POSITIONS: front cab and rear of the guitar cab.

That’s one of my favorite guitar tones ever. Funny enough, I’ve listened to the isolated guitar track of Man In The Box and it sounds very jcm 800 with a Ts9. I guess they scooped the hell out of 400hz and boosted the top in the mixing process, but it worked! The tone in this video is fantastic.

OMG Steven I love you so much for making this. Can't wait for the Monuments video to happen.

I've had the nameless for a while now and when I saw this video, I thought that the nameless would have been used. I was kinda surprised to see that you tried all of the others first. Nameless is just so throaty and beefy that it just screamed Cantrell to me lol. Solid video. I'm taking these tones with me \m/

OMG !!! I was searching to dial these kinds of tone for weeks with my Plini & nameless plus ! these presets and video are a big "WOW"

[pyrolovesmoney]

As much as I love nolly, the nameless was super fun and impressive here. Awesome work.

[simolucketts]

Bought the Nameless yesterday. Could not be more happy! Thank you guys 😎

[ChaiMingze]

Epic video, what a show off of guitar knowledge!

[PASHKULI]

It can not be that simple! Those tones are so close to the originals. Amazing! Glad to see another fan (Steven) of Behemoth as well. Guys you make great plugins. One thing i do not like is the iLok manager needed.

[snorkygroovitz]

You nailed it Steve! I’ve been using the Nameless Suite a bunch and it is such an inspirational writing tool.🤘🔥

[viniciusdamke]

Can anyone share these presets again? I tried them and they were amazing.

[vidaenagonia-cl]

One of these with Type O Negative would be cool

[Schpacky]

Neural please update the link for this preset! It's legendary

[LeeJoRo]

No way! My girlfriend and I do a cover of Man in the Box. I'll definitely give this a go

[chaoschaoforever]

Man in the Box was very very close though yeah your version was slightly brighter than the original. Them Bones was okay....Jerry's tone in that song was a bit thicker with slightly more mids and slightly less harsh. Stone one was close, but was a bit too harsh for my ear anyway. That Friedman Jerry has is ridiculous and is very smooth sounding.

[CeciShaw]

sounds great! thanks! I'm really having fun with this plugin

Had heard about them before, but got into AIC lately, very late ik. Man they were such icons!
