I have a Big Muff and it nails the tone. Or close enough to satisfy me, which is fairly easy.

[isher1992]

He's said more than once before he likes the tone of EHX Big Muff's, but I'm not sure whether he'd use the black one or the old Sovtek Green ones. I'd say if anything, he'd be using the black Pi. I would imagine he's using another distortion(s) too.

Check this, it'll give you details:

So I was right, black big muff. Only he has two.

Um, no. your failure of not using Search is just horrid. This topic has been discussed more than enough to find a wealth of information.

Oh, the moments I've had where search could have saved me the trouble of posting a thread that's been discussed MANY times before...

You know, he was simply pointing out that there's a search tool on this site for a REASON...But if you're gonna be rude about it, I suppose you already knew that. Proven by the fact you posted a thread requesting information a general Google search could turn up on the first page of the search, and yes it is on the first page of the search if you search "Christopher Wolstenholme gear."

On this site, it turns up four threads related to Muse, one of which contains a full discussion of the information you wanted that is two pages long.

Good day to you, sir.

No dude. The search engine is your friend. Google is also your friend. Just typing his name into the search engine will give you a link on the first page to a link with all the gear he has used over the years... Stop expecting people to do all the work for you when it`s right in front of you if you only take a few seconds to look.

*edit*

Screw it, I want to end this thread now.

He also had a full cover in BP mag that went through his entire rig and you can find it online as well.

Don`t be pathetic.

*edit edit*

If you have the time to look up his middle name, you have the time to look up his gear through a search...

Bass Player Mag=sept issue.has an interview of him. he says he has 3 effect loops to 3 amps .he uses a bunch of pedals. EHX=BM, TC g-major,Akai deep impact,Hematoma OD,and more, if youll really into it look for the mag. I know i didnt really answer your question but i tried. Find the mag and get it from the horses mouth .

[Headless Llama]

He uses a bunch of stuff that most of us cannot find. Even if we could we could not afford it. This is due to the simple fact that Christopher is not a human. He is some sort of alien bassist using alien effects. This is why no one can tell you. Mere mortals should not attempt to unlock the secrets of the dark one. Your attempts will fail. Search if you want. If you attempt to unlock these secrets you will find that he uses some weird alien synth and a bunch of distortions.

You're funny. Can we be friends?

I just reread your OP.

So if I understand this correctly, you have a week to figure out how you're going to cop Wolstenholme's tone convincingly with a multi-effect.

Having accepted this, here is my first question: what setting will you be playing in? Small live gig? Studio session? Solo performance?

With a GT-10B alone, this will be no easy feat. The drives on that unit, and especially the synth, suck something awful if I recall my short experience with it correctly. The safest bet with that unit alone is going to be splitting the signal, assuming it has that capability (I don't remember if it does.) Use one of the fuzzes and run it into a filter, and then keep the other path clean (maybe some EQ or compression will tie it up nicely). Start with that.

I know he uses the Monotony Engineering Search Fuzz.
