Sound Like Muse - Supermassive Black Hole

[@AnselmHamilton]

Great demo! Could we get a new one for Reapers? The midi control would be insane On an ending note, could pedal cam get a comeback? it was great for seeing the knob positions on the pedals, but great work nonetheless

[@krupartea]

Damn, you spotted all these nuances in solos so precisely 🤯

[@StrikeEagle14]

Great stuff! I believe the studio solo was played forwards and then reversed to give the swelling sound

[@JarnoDamWichers]

Great vid, but still miss pedal cam because of the settings :p keep up the good work!

Do fury

As others have said I do miss pedalcam, but still a great video I've had a lot of different iterations of sounds for this song myself and have found a harmony octave down whammy into some sort of high volume boost into a rat sounds super nice for the chorus, and for the solo I basically go crazy on the whammy which I just have a 5 button midi controller to switch whammy modes, there tends to be a bit of tap dancing lol so I'm planning to eventually get an es-8 or something of the sort

[@OzimandiásCsenki]

which type of guitar did you use?

[@harrychrisrobin]

I used my Manson MA Evo with XY pad

i love the accessibility approach to this tutorial, it’s super informative and generally great!

Much respect for the work that goes into this! 🙌

Great work, Harry, and thanks for doing this. They're really helpful as I'm just getting into signal chains so some good ideas to play around with. I really liked how you emphasised specific pedals weren't essential (other than the Kaoss pad!). I would be interested to know what amp/cab profiles you're using. I always felt the studio version of the solo was done through some sort of reverse effect (like the solo from Give It Away) but can see how a delay with volume manipulation would give the same sound.

Thanks Richard! I'm glad you find these useful. I try to use these videos to demonstrate that you should just aim for a broad type of sound as a lot of high profile guitarists like Matt Bellamy will have and use gear that is way out of most people's price range. further more there's a lot more to tone than just the pedals used, picking technique, fretting, how the amps were recorded/ microphone techniques, processing/ compression, EQ and other such effects used will all have an effect on the end result. Building on that though even more the studio version of any song lives in isolation, when you hear it live it is totally different because of all sorts of factors so really i say embrace those differences and just focus on broad types of sounds, overdrives, distortions, fuzz and so on. If you want to see what my amp set up is then you can check out a video on my channel called "logic guitar amps | is it any good?". It's in my "Is it any good" playlist. it goes over the amp simulation rig I use so feel free to check that out. I hope that helps.

@@harrychrisrobin thanks for that headsup, I'll check it out. Given all those variables you do capture the tones really, really well. Loving the production quality of these videos too, truly excellent work.

@@melodyandmedicine Thank you Richard much appreciated
