Re: TOOL and SoaD pups
Adam Jones uses a JB in the bridge. The pickup in the neck is the stock Gibson, but it's been disconnected in most of his guitars, as he doesn't use it and prefers to set the toggle switch up as an on/off.
I believe I read something recently about Daron Malakian using a Pearly Gates in the bridge and (maybe?) a '59 in the neck. Don't quote me, though.F#@{ Clapton- Wenger is God!

I'll add that I've heard Adam Jones uses a Jazz in the neck, but I doubt he uses it often.

Re: TOOL and SoaD pups
These guys are right about the pups (AFAIK)... but keep in mind that both players rely on more than just a certain pickup configuration to achieve their sounds.
Adam Jones has used Gibson Silverburst Les Pauls since ages ago and a lot of people claim that they have a unique tonal chacteristic because of their unusual finish. And don't forget about his amps. He has German-made Diezels that he cranks through Marshall cabs. It would be pretty difficult to emulate his tone completely, as he has one of metal's most unique sounds. Daron uses primarily Ibanez guitars, but while in the studio making Toxicity, he tracked most of the album with Gibson Les Pauls and SGs. A lot of his tone comes from unique playing style.
Good luck with your quest for tone... I'm just pointing out a couple tidbits.It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.

Re: TOOL and SoaD pups
Look at Adam Jones' rig here. What they question as an Ibanez Flanger is actually the Boss BF-3 Flanger if I'm not mistaken.Ibanez RG1570: stock
Squier Strat: stock
Next on the list: an amp that isn't crap!

Re: TOOL and SoaD pups
Here is Adams pedal board. I found it a while back. The flanger is actually a Boss BF-2 (white knobs). His Marshall is a Bass series non-master volume. Deizel is on a Mesa cab and Mesa and Marshall head on a Marshall cab.
