bj.mort Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 So from what I understand Matt doesn't really use fuzz factories as his main distortion any more. Anyone know what he is using? Is it distortion from the diesels (now played through his amp modeller). Or is he using distortion from his multi fx rack units (I'm guessing that ridiculous over the top fuzz he used for the HAARP era for songs like supermassive was from this) if so anyone know what kind of models he's using?

bj.mort Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Is he using the fuzz head as a more controllable fuzz factory distortion sound or just as a boost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Fuzz factory doesn't play nice after buffers/wireless etc, so maybe he uses it for fuzz sounds when they're not internally mounted to his guitars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 hard to say, but it's probably whatever's on the modelers. I imagine he's still using the DI'd fuzz factory sound too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'd say a lot of it comes from the Axe FX and the Kemper, he's using the Keeley as more of a boost from what I've read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Wonder when we'll first get some rig pictures from this album cycle. I remember seeing some vague picture of a rack with a single Kemper in at Ulster Hall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bj.mort Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 if he only has one fuzz head in his rack id imagine its not his main fuzz. he tends to have back ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witz Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 It might be only me but I find that digital representations of fuzz factories much more usable and better sounding for casual fuzz sounds than actual fuzz pedals. Might just be me though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing some vague picture of a rack with a single Kemper in at Ulster Hall i reckon he's probs got a simpler rack for the psycho tour as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rust_relic Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 The rack with just the one kemper was on Chris's side, looked like it might even been on the back of his rack, couldn't see what was in Matts rig as only saw the back of it from where we were standing at Exeter last night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutonio Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 From what we've seen and heard, it seems that his sound is very similar to his sound for the The 2nd Law era. Matt never used overdrive or distortion pedals, all comes from the amps (now the amp modelers). And now with the Kemper, it's very difficult to know his settings. The only thing that we know is that he's still using the Fuzz Factory (it's in his new Cooper Bomber guitar, used only for non-Fuzz Factory songs). I listened to The Groove ant it doesn't sound like he's using the Fuzz Factory on it. He has now 2 main distorted sounds : one with not many gain, but very dynamic (Psycho), and one very fuzzy sound (the bridge of Dead Inside). We'll see with the rest of the album if he has particular sounds for the new songs (Reapers is the Whammy-song, he uses several settings on it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm pretty sure he's just using two DS-1s on different settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 excellent photo! I would have thought he'd put on clean boots before operating it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mittle Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Matt never used overdrive or distortion pedals, all comes from the amps. Wat. Also, I recall an interview where Matt said that he liked to use the clean channel (on some amp) and then work from there with effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Wat. Also, I recall an interview where Matt said that he liked to use the clean channel (on some amp) and then work from there with effects. they're actually correct from what i've read/seen/discovered from delving - he used to just use the crunch channel on his Marshalls back in the day and then all his distortions except of course the fuzz factory - since about the absolution tour have come from amp modellers, amp heads and effects modellers - Axe Fx, Kemper, the Diezel Amp Head etc etc etc he's never rly used individual distortion/overdrive stomp boxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bj.mort Posted March 29, 2015 Author Share Posted March 29, 2015 So i bought a Zoom G5 over the weekend because im getting rid of my pedal baord becasue i dont gig anymore and i wanted something i could just chuck some headphones of with and just play to some loops or along to my ipod (i have a full rig consisting of orange amp, fenders, and a variety of digitech, zvex, mxr, boss and EHX pedals) After playing with the Zoom for a full day ive been able to come up with four different "Matt" tones. The first is a Vox with a medium amount of gain for those Psycho/Uprising tones along with a compressor and a booster to get some more gain for heavier parts. This tone also seems very similar to the tone he used in the recording of unnatural selection. Second tone is a Diezel (yes the G5 has a Diezel model) with moderate again again with compression and a booster to get a high gain boost. This is your Stockholm syndrome/TSP/Fury/hysteria tone. Third is a fuzz pedal (i used a fuzz face model) with no amp. This gives you the really fuzzy tones used for Supermassive live, Knights of cydonia tremolo parts. And finally the Fuzz Factory tone which needs no explaination. i can highly recommend the G5 for muse fans. Seems to have everything you need to create a muse tone. Havent taken a crack at Origins tones but i think that would be hard to replicate due to the strange pickups used on that album (i believe he used the saddle pick ups on the delorean for alot of that album) i think this could be a period where matt was using the fuzz factory alot along with some marshall and soldano tones.
