I just acquired a Saturnworks 4-Channel Parallel Blend Looper pedal, and was excited to test out its capabilities - what better tones to cop than those of Chris Wolstenholme? Wolstenholme's approach to effects and drive tones heavily influenced the way I use drive, so it was only natural to do so.

Without an Akai Deep Impact on my board, the only way I could get a square wave sounding drive effect was via setting the Human Gear Animato Forte up to produce more of an op amp fuzz tone. It's not the perfect assimilation, but I think it does the job with what I have available to me.

Muse tunes are notorious for being heavily policed by the powers that be, so I've pieced together the backing track in reaper with drum, guitar, and vocal stems that I found.
