Hot Tub Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) OK, I know it's probably not possible to emulate with a single pedal (or rig, for that matter), but what ONE pedal would get reasonably close to CW's sound? This isn't for a Muse tribute or anything like that. It's just a little project where that sound - or something close-ish - would be ideal. And I'm on a very limited budget at the moment. In a nutshell, I need something with variable filth/grit but no loss of bottom end. In fact a little low end boost would be wonderful.

Dood Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 My 'go to' drive & clean pedal is the EBS Billy Sheehan Deluxe pedal. The beauty of this one is that it has two effects loops on it too and a compressor. You can say add octave and chorus on the clean side but have just envelope filter on the distortion side, then mix it all together for one big sound going in to a fat EQ section. That'd be my suggestion anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danweb22 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Animato with a blend pedal (boss ls2) would do quite a few of his signature sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] No problem! I prefer the Deluxe version out of the two available models, it has a gain boost foot switch for extra sizzle should you need it part way through a song.

Low End Bee Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The Tech 21 Bass Fly Rig has a Muse pre-set in the manual. It sounds like an angry 10 foot bee with a headcold. Not sure how close that is to the Muse bass sound as I'm not an officianado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

operative451 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I use a variant on this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAcxhlsDbYY[/media] With a quite scooped fuzz. Its close enough... I wouldn't be at all surprised if while he's tap dancing on stage, his bass tech runs the big muff into a sansamp and gives the FOH bod a DI, and leaves it at that...
