What do I need to get this tone?

I'm looking for a pedal which will give me something that sounds like this tone ("Bliss" by Muse): Link Removed.
Is it an overdrive? Fuzz? Synth? Something else? I realise it's blended with a lot of dry signal, but I'm looking for something which will give me that slightly grindy tone, which would sit well in a band mix. Thanks in advance. :cool:
 
I'd recommend doing a search on him. there's been a few about him, biamping, deep impacts, big muffs and more- good luck in your quest.
Yeah I've been through a heap of Chris Wolstenholme threads and am aware of his obscure Japanese distortions, Deep Impacts, x number of Big Muffs used to get that hysteria sound, etc... I'm not really worried about getting exactly the pedals he uses, I just want some TB'ers opinions on what can produce something that sounds like the tone in that clip I posted, and isn't wildly obscure and won't cost me an arm and a leg... Thanks for your help anyway :)
