“T wanted one guitar part to stand out and be just perfect”
Joe Matera and Amit Sharma
MATT BELLAMY

In December 2003, Muse guitarist Matt Bellamy spoke with TG writer Joe Matera to give us the lowdown on the band’s third album Absolution, which we described as “some of the grandest, most unashamedly epic guitar music ever created”. When quizzed on how he managed to achieve such an impressive wall of noise, Matt was more than happy to spill the beans.

After trying out “a lot of different cabs and heads” he ended up sticking with “a Diezel head with a Soldano cab”. As this pairing worked so well on the recordings, he revealed it was going to be his tone for an impending world tour, pointing out how the MIDI-controllable Diezel VH4 head allowed him to plug straight in and have all his effects, like the Line 6 Echo Pro, running in the loop.
