Recommended Posts

Right, I'm playing Hysteria by Muse tomorrow night in my Uni college unplugged night (which isn't at all unplugged) I have a Boss GT6-B and want to get the right tone, but I'm far too busy writing my dissertation (am in library needing to write 7000 words by Thursday) to play about with it and do it myself.

So does anyone else here play Hysteria through a GT6-B, and could you please tell me how you he tthe right (or a similar) tone? I would be really gratful as the presets are pretty crap.

Cheers

Same sh1t with me, guys, got a gig next week, and teacher will only (probably) lend processor tommorow, and, against playing-improving material-and-sh1tty-singing odds, I'm DESPERATE to find as much similar sound, as I can.
The last time I've asked for the "wtf this effect is" people said it's BassBalls.
I need somethin' like that on goddamn GT-6B...

The tone for hysteria is a Sawtooth with some fuzz, I think. However I get a really good tone by running my Little Big Muff and then turning the mids and treble right down (you'll still need some of each though, so don't turn it right off).

For whom the bell tolls is easy, fuzz with quite high tone and then slowly rock the wah back and forth.

Turbo Rat will nail that one mate, or the Dunlop Hendrix Fuzz. There's clips of both of these over at talkbass.com.

A good Muse type one I found tonight is in the Overdrive menu, in the psychadelic setting. I can find most tones in the OD/distortion menu with no eq and sometimes a bit of compresion. I find that the less you have to add the better the tone and you can mix your dry and effected sounds to perfection.

yup i know, i had one for a good few months, but i certainly hold by what i say n say you cant get a great hysteria tone out of it, but ye you can get a nice musey overdrive/distortion, but synth and filters suck on the gt6b
