Notes
Studio recording, 2006. Matt Bellamy used his Manson MB-1 with a custom bridge humbucker into a Diezel VH4 amp for the main riff. The ZVEX Fuzz Factory is a key part of the tone. No evidence of additional modulation or time-based pedals in the riff section; delay is only lightly present if at all. Settings are inferred from forum posts and typical Muse rig for this era.
