From Riot Act (2002). A slow, brooding track with ringing guitars and a melodic solo. No source available here confirms the exact guitar and amp on this recording, so a Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s through a Marshall JCM800 2203 stands in. Use the neck and bridge pickups together and set the amp to a medium crunch. Tuning isn't documented here.
Common Questions About the "All or None" Tone
What guitar did Pearl Jam use on "All or None"?
The guitar on "All or None" (released 2002) isn't documented; the Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck + bridge (position 3 / out-of-phase) on the guitar.
What amp settings does "All or None" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 4.5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 5.5, Volume 6. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "All or None" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "All or None" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
