This GuitarWorld article states that on Superunknown, Chris Cornell’s tone came from a blend of a Marshall JMP50 head (not the combo which was previously submitted) and a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier. It is quoted from this article; “Most of Cornell’s guitar tracks were recorded using a Marshall JMP 50 half stack and Mesa-Boogie Dual Rectifier Solo half stack blended together. On Black Hole Sun, the Marshall provided brighter tone with defined string attack, while the Mesa delivered darker tone with bigger body and bottom-end girth, and both amps were set to moderate levels of overdrive.”

At the 54:05 mark of the "Rig Rundown" episode provided by Premier Guitar on YouTube, Chris Cornell's guitar technician, Stephen Ferrara Grand, presents Cornell's pedalboard and explicitly mentions the use of Dr. NO Effects pedals. Notably, the Dr. NO Drive-O-Matic CC-SG pedal is highlighted as a custom-modified version of the Drive-O-Matic, specifically crafted for Chris Cornell. This is corroborated by the distinctive designs of these pedals, which can be verified on the Dr. NO website.
