I chose to do this piece because of the challenging riff. I started learning this song during my early days of learning guitar which was 2 years ago before I started college.

I used my zoom G3x pedal and my Laney HCR 50 amp to get the guitar tone. I look at many guitar forums to find out what pedals Matt Bellamy uses and most people say he uses a fuzz factory with phaser and a digitec whammy. I used all that information to make my own version using the built-in pedals in my Zoom G3x. In the first slot I have a noise gate because I don&#8217;t want any buzzing noise coming from my guitar, in the second slot I used a compression\/phaser, in the third slot I used a big muff for the fuzz tone, in the fourth slot I have a high gain 3 channel amp sim, in the fifth slot I used a reverb and in the final slot I used a tape echo this effect changes the pitch of the echos. The settings on my Laney amp are Volume 3, Bass 6, middle 6 and treble 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"82\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04-195646-1024x82.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3403\" style=\"width:1161px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04-195646-1024x82.png 1024w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04-195646-300x24.png 300w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04-195646-768x62.png 768w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04-195646-1536x123.png 1536w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04-195646-1200x96.png 1200w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04-195646.png 1817w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04-230846-1024x585.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3409\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04-230846-1024x585.png 1024w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04-230846-300x171.png 300w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04-230846-768x439.png 768w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04-230846-1200x686.png 1200w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-04-230846.png 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"764\" height=\"631\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-06-192108.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-06-192108.png 764w, https:\/\/digitalspace.bradfordcollege.ac.uk\/10633466\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/568\/2024\/09\/Screenshot-2024-09-06-192108-300x248.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 764px) 100vw, 764px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:900\">For my bass tone I found out Chris Wolstenholme uses a distortion pedal and a bass micro synth.
