Effects & Signal Chain

Notes

Studio recording, 2006. Guitar is a custom Manson MB-1 with a Hot Rails bridge pickup. Diezel VH4 amp used for main riff. Effects are primarily pedal-based, with heavy pitch-shifting and synth-like processing. Pickup selector set to bridge. No evidence of amp-based effects. Settings estimated based on typical Diezel VH4 usage for Muse in this era.

Difficulty

The riff requires tight synchronization with the Whammy pedal's sequenced pitch-shifting, clear articulation under heavy fuzz, and precise palm muting, making it moderately challenging for intermediate players.
