hysteria with -1- pedal?

[eveilleu]

Haha!

I saw this little video on facebook today, I love it!!


I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who would like and easy way to get something that sounds this close!

I love love love Muse and Chris W. His playing and his tones are great. But I've always found the idea that his tones were so difficult to replicate to be quite odd. You can get 90% of the way there through fairly conventional means. All the weird blending and semi-obscure pedals (Akai DI, Animato, etc.) and not-actually-bass-parts (Time is Running Out synth)---that's all well and good. And I realize we're all tone-chasers for that last 10%. But I can find plenty of tones that I love that do a reasonable Hysteria.

On a side note, the duality can also get the time is running out when it is set as the gated fuzz mod

Tons of pedals will do that sound IMO

Oh! Please share, that's something that think many would like to see.

Mammoth, Oxide, etc.

I'm not knocking the Duality btw.

Oh no worries, i'm actually curious how you get that sort of sounds from other pedals! I have an oxide here and i'll Go play with It! Most of the time, when i see demos it's pretty much going over diffrent tones a pedal can do, it´s rare to find a litle 30 secs clip of an actual kick ass song,

I'd love to see a thread that looks something like just people sharing clips/settings of how they handle sail or starlight or hysteria with 1or2 pedals, When i saw the clip i went YES!! I'd love to see/hear more stuff like that.


They're kind of there, but grouped by vendor threads instead of song threads. Or other thread that are 20 pages of how HE does it. I don't care how HE does it, i like to see how you do It simply!

I loooove Muse too, but bassists need to quit overthinking that last 10% like Adam says. For the general listening audience a fuzz will play the gig perfectly fine with no one in the crowd knowing the difference.

 

[heatoise]

The Mammoth can definitely get that sound fairly easily with some tweaking, it also NAILS the Time is Running Out sound with some dialing of the pinch control

Mammoth FTW! I've owned the Oxide, Duality, You're Doom, TAFM, and a few others. They all sound great and in a band context would sound great on this song. But I got rid of them all and kept my mammoth clone.

I might have to check out a mammoth clone myself, the only thing that turned me off from the mammoth was its price, a clone might be just what I need!

The only negative about mammoth type fuzzes is they really want a passive bass. An active bass or even a buffered pedal before the mammoth (or clone) make it too compressed and saturated sounding. So, it's the first effect in my chain and if I use an active instrument I put it in passive mode before turning on the mammoth.

FYI, many people have fixed the Mammoth circuit for active basses. There are quite a few clones out there that will work very well with an active bass (they are usually advertised as such). I think the Mastotron is also supposed to be very close and much cheaper.

Im a big fan of Muse too, havent tried to replicate his tone( not entirely) , just trying to learn some of his basslines are hard enough. Im a huge fan of Peter Steele ( Type O Negative), and I OBSESS about trying to replicate the tones he gets, so I can understand why bigger Muse fans than I would try.I met a TBer on her, Kaputsport if I remember his name correctly, who has got it nailed, hes got some vids on youtube that I found by searching " Muse bass tones"...you guys might ask him if interested, pretty sure hes still on here.

Interesting. I wonder if it would be easy to mod mine.

I need one of these!!

 

[karstetterpj]

Honestly I've found the mastotron nails hysteria almost perfectly on its own. I think I read somewhere that that was the pedal Chris used for the tune. Don't quote me though, I appreciate muse but must admit I'm not a rabid fan so I might be mistaken.

 

[honotron]

My cover, 1 pedal, Prunes and custard

 

[takfar]

Yea, I do hysteria with the Mastotron by itself, and it does get 90% of the way there. For TIRO, I'm currently running mastotron into VT-Bass for a beefier sound, but just the masto would do fine, too.

 

[honotron]

Oxide is great for tiro too!
