Intro to The Members Rigs

A quick introduction for those of you who don't know the guys rigs. More information found on the Gear section. Matt at the moment uses a Kemper modeling head with mostly manson guitars, and marshall models, with a wide variety of effects. However, in the early days, he mainly used Marshalls or the Vox AC30. Chris' amps and basses have changed over the years but the main setup remains the same. Split the bass channel into three, one clean, one with a Big Muff, one with an Animato, each going to separate amps.

Showbiz

Sunburn

Muscle Museum

Filip

Falling Down

Cave

Showbiz

Unintended

Uno

Sober

For this, Matt uses a DigiTech whammy for the riff (1 octave down) and for the bridge (1 octave up). On the bridge and the solo he also uses an Electro-Harmonix micro synth.

Spiral Static

Escape

Overdue

Hate This and I'll Love You

Origin of Symmetry

New Born

Bliss

Space Dementia

Hyper Music

Plug In Baby

Matt used the Manson DeLorean for this song. In an interview with Total Guitar magazine, he said he might not have written the song if it wasn't for this guitar. For the riff, Matt uses the ZVex Fuzz Factory, which is built into his Manson Delorean. For the verse parts, Matt used a Roland VG-8 guitar synthesizer with the Roland GK-2 MIDI pickup, to emulate pulsing strings.

Citizen Erased

Matt has said on multiple occasions that he used a Manson 7 string (His first Manson) to record Citizen Erased.

Micro Cuts

Screenager

Matt uses a line 6 delay modeler in the "Reverse" mode for this song.

Darkshines

Feeling Good

Futurism

Chris uses the Boss OC-2 octave pedal to achieve the bass tone.

Megalomania

Absolution

Intro (N/A)

Apocalypse Please

Time Is Running Out

Sing For Absolution

Stockholm Syndrome

Falling Away With You

Interlude

Hysteria

(Bass) Hysteria is one of Muse's most coveted and most sought after bass tones. It follows the standard set up of clean, big muff, animato, and was recorded on a Marshall DBS 7400 amp, with presumably 2 1x15 cabs and one 1x15 (as this is what he uses live), with a Pedulla Rapture RB5. A synth tone can be heard as well, which some believe is the Digitech Bass Synth Wah, but is actually the Roland JP-8080 synthesiser, used by either Chris or Bellamy.

(Guitar) For the solo of this song, Matt uses a stereo delay, where the DigiTech whammy is heard on the repeats, not on the actual playing.

Blackout

Butterflies and Hurricanes

The Small Print

Endlessly

Thoughts of a Dying Atheist

Ruled by Secrecy

Black Holes and Revelations

Take A Bow

Starlight

Supermassive Black Hole

I'm unsure what fuzz pedal was used, but Matt has said that he DI'd (Direct injected) fuzz for this one, it's likely it was a Big Muff or Fuzz Factory.

Map Of The Problematique

Matt ran his guitar through many analog synthesizers/sequncers for this one.

Soldier's Poem

I'm unsure what specific guitar, but Matt uses an acoustic for this song.

Invincible

Assassin

Exo-Politics

City of Delusion

Hoodoo

Knight's of Cydonia

The Resistance

Uprisning

Undisclosed Desires

United States of Eurasia

Matt used an MXR Blue Box to record this song.

The Globalist

(Guitar) Matt recorded the opening section on a Fender amp, with a Fender Strat. A Diezel VH4 (Channel 4) was used in the heavy section, played on the 7 string Manson E Guitar. (Bass)In the making of The Globalist video, Chris talks about the octave effect being used during the heavy mid section, but for the most part, the bass part is clean.

Drones

Will Of The People

This is another song Matt DI'd fuzz on, although he hasn't specified what pedal yet. Judging from the gear he used for Will Of The People, it may be a Dwarfcraft Necromancer.

Compliance (N/A)

Liberation

Won't Stand Down

Ghosts (How Can I Move On) (N/A)

You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween

Kill Or Be Killed

Verona

I'm guessing Matt uses a Korg SDD-3000 delay for this song, as it is mentioned in an interview about the gear used to record Will Of The People.
