Muse Fuzz Factory Madness !!

[furniken]

muse hater=they don't understand chords & scale pattern that matt play, MUSE hater= just love single solo with any kind of scale as long as fast

[ricotinez]

I don't know what's more entertaining--the video or the hate-filled comment section.

[anhedonia47]

I almost bought the vexter version of this effect today. I really want the authentic one, though

[okamasphere]

woooooooooooooooweeeowoowoowoo­ooooooowooaaaaoaowooooooo

[ThePotNoodleNinja]

@Beezzdrizzle30

To him its not a gimmick its preference thats how he wants his guitars and thats how he uses them....

[doc998]

i have one of these, hes not really doing anything special with it, except using the pedal....

[winger15mk]

Yeah that must be why their albums hit the top of the charts and why they keep winning all of these awards. Idiot.

[Beezzdrizzle30]

Gimmicks are for retards and Muse is full of them.

[SterilizeThePopulace]

@Beezzdrizzle30 Do you mean Muse is full of gimmicks or full of retards? I think both are true, but I wanted to clarify.

[thieves111]

anyone who owns a fuzz factory or built one can cleary hear this sound is indeed from it

[FretsonFireMuse]

I think it's really worth noting this is just random noise, and not actually part of real songs like people seem to think (except a few seconds in Plug In Baby, Citizen Erased, and Micro Cuts). Overall he still uses the fuzz factory, for actual fuzz

[Erok480]

Local H controls feedback WAY better. and without a Fuzz Factory.

[Seishinbunretsusho]

@Erok480 This is oscillation. Huge difference between the two.

[Tdreww]

any monkey can play with the knobs on a fuzz pedal... play some music

[gergy008]

@Tdreww He does, So fuck you. This is just snippets of what he does before hand, And it is for your information cool, So fuck off you down syndrome cunt.

[Tdreww]

@gergy008 someones getting a little defensive of his boyfriend. Get your dirty british mouth off of Bellamy's dick and listen to some real music.

[gergy008]

@Tdreww Get your dirty american mouth of that fat fucking cheeseburger you fat american prick :-)

[Acceptable76]

@gergy008 I have no idea who your talking to but don't hate on Americans. We take that offensive,

[dinuccij]

@gergy008 plz dont hate americans we're not all faggots

[martian59]

Trash...not music.

[chrislpp]

what an innovative guitarist.... if twiddling a knob every night and ripping off Morello is the definition of innovative

[gergy008]

@chrislpp Yep that all he does. That all he does, He doesn't do anything else. Yeah, Your correct.

Fuck off, Your mum has down syndrome and your live with her while she is dead in her grave. He isn't ripping off morello; Because for your information morello doesn't use a fuzz factory. Your a fat fucking spazzed out down syndrome cunt yourself, And you know nothing about music. Fuck off.

[Arcticpaulo]

One of the ugliest guitar. Ever.

But what a sound !

[gergy008]

@Arcticpaulo I disagree, How is the guitar ugly it is spectaular from any angle.

[mikejensen79]

He did not do any of this when I saw them. It was still probably one of the best shows I've seen, but I felt a tinge of disappointed nonetheless.

[Tengent]

I don't understand why he thinks anyone would want to hear that.

[gergy008]

@Tengent Why not.

[Tengent]

@gergy008 Where does noise music like this take you? IMO it is just used for useless interludes in the music. I just don't like it and it isn't difficult to understand why. If you like it, good for you. Reading your comments, it seems you lack a basic understanding of aesthetics. And your insults are pathetic. Do you read? If not, go read. You won't look so idiotic.

[XxMyChemxXDragon]

@Tengent 'cause it's a cool sound

[Tengent]

@XxMyChemxXDragon It's ugly as fuck. IMO

[XxMyChemxXDragon]

@Tengent it's your opinion

[Evariste38]

I have one and it's really hard to control it... The sound goes everywhere with this pedal.

[gergy008]

@Evariste38 'Tis be a skill knowing how to control it. Conratz having one ^_^

[EchtellionN]

Those of you still wondering how to recreate such sounds, of the 5 controls on the Zvex Fuzz Factory, only 2 control the oscillations: the stability and the gate knobs. The stability mostly control the frequency/pitch of the oscillations, while the gate knob controls the intensity/type of the oscillations. Both knobs while cranked to max stop the oscillations however and they interact very much. Stability controls the circuit's input voltage while gate controls the signals link to ground...

[TimeWolf26]

@EchtellionN

But Matt's guitars only have Stab and Comp. So what's the comp doing in all of this?

[EchtellionN]

@TimeWolf26 Didn't know that's what he had. All I know is that on mine the best results I have had are with the Gate and Stab knobs. If the gate is "closed", the pedal can't oscillate, and if its always open, you get some noise between notes so its not quite ideal. I can't think Matt plays with the Gate open at all times.

Mostly I used the Comp knob to control the tone and compression of the distortion, I'll dig in a bit more and play with those two a bit and get back to you.

[RYANWASON234]

@TimeWolf26

His guitars have the other three controls on small pots in a cavity in the guitar

[TimeWolf26]

@RYANWASON234

Can you access them and adjust them? I'm an idiot when it comes to circuitry.

[RYANWASON234]

@TimeWolf26 yeah

[MeDarkShineS]

Orgasm

[1tanterhetaida2]

IS it the fuzz factory that does the whammy sounding noises in the citizen erased solo?

[unclesamfatg]

@1tanterhetaida2 yes

[dimeguyblade]

what is that on his guitar?

[Ch1nGFuX2]

@dimeguyblade Knobs controlling an in-built fuzz factory pedal.

[MichaelLowryMusic]

@dimeguyblade built in zvex fuzz factory

[Lutgerion]

I don't understand. Is it a pedal?

And if it is, how does he go from a lower tone to a higher so smoothly? I mean if you slide the neck of a guitar the frets will "snap" the sound.

[DaHooomie]

@Lutgerion /watch?v=tf-Zck7YURs It is a pedal built into his guitar

[FretsonFireMuse]

@Lutgerion It is a pedal, and the difference is that as someone else said he has it built into his guitar. When you let go of a note (so he's not using the fretboard at all) the FF oscillates a lot and you can use one of the knobs to change the pitch of the oscillation. Since it's built into his guitar the knob is just right there below the bridge

[michaeljackson407]

cant wait to get mine....

[boogieman4567]

I <3 this video

[Museatlantis]

Totally awesome. I love how it sounds

[ViciousGuitarist]

so THATS how he gets that sound... thats sick

[100roberthenry]

its shit...............

[gergy008]

@100roberthenry How is it.

[100roberthenry]

@gergy008  i have ears!.

[popomczowzow]

organized chaos

[lexylooby]

i fink it was best when he used the FF live at wembley 2007,, shame it was after this vid was made it wud had a made a reyt finale ;]

[killerkite333]

i just love how matt abuse his FF. XD

[Gecko170692]

what i don't understand is that he uses this plate thingy on some guitars but only the fuzz probe has this. Does he switch between fuzz factory and fuzz probe?

[OmahaRecords]

As far as i know it's a build in Kaoss pad. Nothing to to with the FF.

[Gecko170692]

thanks

[carlosNcambria]

indeed!

[gergy008]

@OmahaRecords Yeah well your stupid. The guitars he uses for Plug in baby don't have a kaoss pad. Don't you dare try to outsmart us when you are clearly wrong. Do more research faggot.

[Tweek5470]

matt has 3 variations and much more but i can't be bothered to name them all :P there is the fuzz probe wah, which is the copper plate from the pedal put on the guitar body, when he has the 2 knobs its a fuzz factory and when he has the glowing plastic pad its a kaoss pad which he can use to control pretty much anything even the lighting rigs!

[edwardtang1977]

sometimes I think their songs are based on this fuzz factory entirely...ha

the riffs and solos all inspired by that little monster effect

[manufan1999]

They came in when Matt started getting custom Manson guitars, as you can see from the clips, he uses the same guitar

[manufan1999]

I wish that I had a Fuzz Factory.....and Matt's Guitar.....and Matt's playing ability....and Matt's band.

I've found that he always uses the FF going into Plug In Baby the most, then in the little transition in New Born, and then in random riffs

[samc926]

this is using the kaoss pad, not the fuzz factory!

[winger15mk]

@samc926 nope it is indeed the fuzz factory on all videos, don't think he even has a chaos pad attachment when any of this footage was made?

[craigbee]

@winger15mk yep ur absolutely right - what an innovator.

[Mkamalid]

@winger15mk yeh dude this is the fuzz factory lol

[TFBanks]

@winger15mk The white square behind his bridge is the kaoss pad, and thats where the crazy all-over-the place oscillator sound is coming from; but he could be running that through a fuzz factory.

[javiceres]

@winger15mk It might be a Fuzz Factory but there's obviusly some other fx like echo.

[kleptopalub]

its is the fuzz factory.

[g3noxz]

@samc926 You are a moron the knobs control a zvex fuzz factory pedal that is put inside a hollowed section of the body .... the Kaoss pad is actually called is a midi controler touch screen also built into matts guitar, its the lighted touch pad that he drags with a pick or finger, the video doesnt even include any of his guitars with the kaoss pad in them. Get your facts straight before you open your trap.

[MalouxD]

@samc926 There is no kaoss pad in this vid

[JasonStead007]

@samc926 retard

[blinkacoustic]

@samc926 idiot

[Musericky]

@samc926 The Kaoss Pad Is a Pad not two Knob!!

[moggieman10]

this is terribly annoying.

[diminishedlogic]

lol i am sorry but i completely agree what the fuck is this how can people like this

[moggieman10]

the same thing over and over for 1:40............awesome.

[thebanderosse]

Because its awesome. As in, he manages to get something "random" perfect.

[diminishedlogic]

haha ok enjoy...

[VlogSuicide]

because you fucking douche bag this is just the warm up to the crowd going you fucking douche

[diminishedlogic]

it sounds horrible.

[sponboy]

@moggieman10 and youre a dick

[moggieman10]

ARENA ROCK ROOOOOOOOLZ!!!!!!!!!!

[penfoldplus]

why does matt only have 2-3 of the fuzz factory knobs showing on his guitar. Does he never use thew others

[longmann101]

i think ther other three are at the bottom, the small knobs?

not sure tho?

[anim8orjoey]

no those are sustainers and kill switches.. hmm :/

[Irzki]

He has Stability and Compressions knobs in front, and the other 3 on the back of his guitar

[MUTEgrc]

sorry, silver one isn't a very good name, cause quite a few are (slightly) silver coloured.

[MUTEgrc]

silver one = delorean = retired -->musewiki

[jonasbacklund]

0:43 and forward sounds like someone falling in a cartoon or something..

[AbsolonPeter]

where did you get the video from the Big Day In?

[aektzis91]

you mean big day 'out'...

[MUTEgrc]

his silver guitar went into "retirement" after absolution, then the kaoss-era started, but he still has other guitars with the fuzz factory in it.

[beakany]

Actually, the Ali Top Manson (used in most of this video) is still in use...

[sk8tat45]

i want one so badly

i would do this all day haha

[hurleypwell]

man i fucking want a zvex so bad costs so fucking much tho :(

[SteeleInd]

I just bought one for $193 US with shipping and NY state tax.

[hurleypwell]

where u get it fom man ? Im from Ireland tho lol so thats about 160 euros

[avant105]

its only 175 at guitar center

[TheAlphaMuse]

he normally does this when he swaps between guitar and piano in newborn intro

[SteeleInd]

Also the Butterflies and Hurricanes piano interlude.

[BiGtRouBle666]

The last effect. Blackout. Lol

[optimusripe]

drools

[EJRocky]

Do want.

[star364150lissss]

does he use the zvex fuzz?

[Gambitrod]

...look at the title

[Gambitrod]

and yes it is zvex

[attershja]

So Matt has one built into his guitar? :( I wants one :(

[judgerudge123]

manson custom made guitar costs quite a bit tho lol ...damn :)

[xLightningBoltX721]

at 0:18-0:27 and 0:41-0:50 does he have a delay or phaser with fuzz

[adsplay]

neither the fuzz factory ocillates like crazy

[BCarey2293]

I bet 90% of those videos were from some part of Plug In Baby or Super Massive Black Hole

[xLightningBoltX721]

what about new born

[Jaggijughurtti]

I don't think that any one of these was from Super Massive Black Hole because they were so old and I've never seen him playing SMBH with that guitar.....but New Born was there.

[stringed48]

Am I the only person who thinks this is kind of silly. I can appreciate a good psychadelic guitar solo, but this is just some guy walking around the stage like he's got a stone in his shoe while turning a knob.

[ArgentinianTraceur]

Haha, I can understand how watching JUST little snippets of matt using the stab and comp on his fuzz factory might make him seem like a jackass. but these are just before songs when he feels like making some funny noises, haha. This is nowhere near the real sound of muse :)

[PooPoo2U]

i can't help but think of whales having sex when i hear this.

[qmcomputer]

I can't helping thinking that I wish I was his guitar...hehe...

[EJRocky]

Oh good christ... I want one! This would push my playing through the roof! =D

[gavbag1234]

Kinda silly featuring silly noises out of context of a song.

[letshakehands]

its annoying though becuase he can do so much more stuff with it than we can because he's got it built into his guitar.

[ASPx360]

complete rubbish...

[bassart94]

ive never heard a fuzz factory do what it does at 00:22

[woawitchking]

his turning the stab back and forth real quick

[ballflesh3]

yeah well if you listen to muse you here that all the at live converts and shit

[ballflesh3]

concerts*

[bassart94]

thanks, im just not too familiar with the fuzz factory

[fartsmachine]

what a fucking hack

[winger15mk]

English?

[TMVmucho123]

fun that shit through a rlanger

[GuitAri13]

what is the song at 0:37

[Esbenkm]

New Born

[darrenbent321]

How can you tell out of interest? :L

[fullmetalfunk]

GuitAri13 probably has the same dvd I do. That's what he does before New Born. It's from Glastonbury. DVD of it came with certain versions of Black Holes and Revelations.

[disarmit]

GREAT!!!!

[bilcal7]

haha. if you watched this and didn't know Muse...you'd probably think they were the worst band ever.

[nitrobyname]

Ha, so true...

[Gizuco]

AHAHHAhahahaha you're incredibly right :D :D :D

"who's that useless guitarist"

The trackpad joined to the guitar is a nice tool to make.. noise!

[loutopdrummer]

i got one today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fucking amazing

but i do have a pownding head now hahaa

[sk84alife]

the fuzz fatory is a part of muse!!

[tsman29]

It's refreshing to know that there are still bands that do these kinds of interludes during concerts and not just play a boring show. Muse ftw.

[applesauc3]

if every guitarist had a fuzz factory this would be an annoying world.

but i love when matt uses it!

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

go to maplins and buy a siren kit for a tenner. . .

[nukethewhales1986]

does it make the guitar sound different when on clean? If its inside my guitar?

[winger15mk]

Nope just gets bypassed so is as normal

[cangano]

nice compilation

[jamesabrook]

Can it be fitted into any guitar?

[winger15mk]

Yeah pretty much, the circuitry isn't too big except the potentiometers, im still in the process of putting one in my telecaster but been busy at uni lol

[winger15mk]

Ahh yeah also the battery can be quite big as well as well :P

[jamesabrook]

ok thanks, I would try and do it myself but i'd break it lol i may buy one and get it done by someone else :P

[bigcountry4life5]

the banshee guitar has a fuzz controlled by a theremin. its crazy

[viva0]

z vex also has a fuzz probe, which is a fuzz factory controlled by a theramin wth your feet

[blues3531]

the ending gave me chills. the blackout part with the "siren" ff sound, amazing

[tonebenderx]

Interesting effect, sounds a bit like a distorted theremin.

[davemcq]

yes, newborn and blackout as well...and in some cases the groove and muscle museum.

:)

[gandalfsbumfluff]

as winger15mk says, they are all using the knob on the front of the guitar, no pads. Before the XY pads were used for the BH&R tours he did have at least 2 guitars with MIDI control strips on them which could be linked to his Digitech Whammy (as the reissue had MIDI control capability) but this is all Fuzz Factory. If you want to hear the Whammy Pad sound then listen to the Hullaballoo CD, In Your World has an intro using it.

Has that set everyone straight?! lol

[Gollunk]

c'est vraiment naze ma parole

[davemcq]

nice!! almost all the songs he's about to play are plug in baby...except the glastonbury ones which are blackout n newborn :D

[kitchenfitter1]

the one at glastonbury was plug in baby

[davemcq]

"almost all the songs he's about to play are plug in baby..." *sigh*

[guitaristrhcp]

its both- the pad can control anything- lights to a wah pedal the pad is plugged in to a fuzz factory in the newer guitars and on these the fuzz factory is built in as he is using the knobs!

[winger15mk]

MISTEROU - Its knobs on th front of the guitars in these videos as it is his external fuzz factory. his newer guitars for the bhar tour now are beggining to have a built in xy pads but none are in this video.

[misterou]

search up "manson guitar demo" on youtube. thats what he has. its a pad. not a knob.

[winger15mk]

Every single clip in this video is the fuzz factory, it may just sound different at time times cos he has it going through a phaser or delay

[razor3001]

hackhead123, there is no kaoss pad in the guitar on 00:38. that's at Glastonbury before he had Kaoss pad guitars. plus you see him turning a knob, not moving the Kaoss pads. the Kaoss pads did not come till BH&R era. this is all Fuzz Factory

[hackhead123]

alot of them sound like he using a kaoss pad rather than a fuzz factory especially the one at 00:38 cos when he moves u can see the screen

[bloodySunday77]

Very good job... I actually feel a little more sympathy for the little pedal after watching this. But I still wouldn't buy it. I have played with it and it's more of a toy than a serious fuzz. Way too unpredictable for a constant sound you could rely on. I'll stick with my Fulltones and Big Muff, thank you very much.

[evilhanky]

Anyone who doesn't know what a fuzz factory is might think the desription of this video a bit naughty...

'matt bellamy from MUSE playing with his fuzz factory'

hee hee

[lager1188]

i got mine, best £100 i ever spent

[kfuzzk]

dude you spent 100 pounds on that?! you can build it on your own for about 30 bucks. when mine is done, i'll upload a vid of it... cheers

[E3tiger]

il buy one
