Hey guys,
I am a new member on the forums and thought I might contribute something to the thread.... I had always wondered how Matt got that weird effect for MOTP and kept thinking to myself what it was. Recently I saw Muse perform live where I stay in Dubai Desert Rock Festival (March 8th) and saw that he just plays powerchords and no particular rhythm so I was like "then it has to be an effect!!" so I started tinkering in Guitar Rig 3 for days until I finally hit the jackpot (or at least thats what I think) and recorded a 1min sample of what I had accomplished (with the piano, choir, bass, drums included) for you all to judge... be nice.. lol!!
Now anyways onto the technical part of the patch.... I gathered info on many forums, including this one, and finally decided that the effect that sounded close to what is played was two whammy pedals with one at a +1 octave preset and the other with a -1 octave preset with a sequencial filter (called the analog sequencer) for both at a 1/16 res at 125BPM and 4ms slide (the rhythm was really hard to figure out but finally got it) and a Lead 800 combo set on the Heavy 800 preset... that is really all the effects I used. I eventually figured out that there are three rhythms being played at different intervals and created three sound patches and switched through each with my keyboard as I don't have a footswitch to switch with thus the delay in switching, even if its slight....
Anyways,

Hope you like it and enjoy!!!!
Take Care
