Pearl Jam guitar tone

A tone for the band, not for one recording: the sound they are known for, so expect to move a knob for any particular song. Nobody has played this one yet; it comes from a documented rig, not from ears.

Where the rig comes from

  • On Ten McCready used a Fender Bassman for the clean tones, heard on Black, and a Marshall JCM800 for distortion groundguitar.com
  • The exact Bassman model is not confirmed; live he later used a 1963 Bassman for clean tones, and no settings or cabinet are documented groundguitar.com
