2 songs, each with a starting point and the rig from its sources
Tonelify's library has 2 Muse songs, each with the rig reported in interviews and articles and a reference starting point on a generic five-knob amp. Both songs start at the same position, Gain 7, Bass 5, Middle 6, Treble 6, Presence 6, Reverb 2, because a starting point follows the style of the part and these share one, so the effects and the playing are what set them apart.
The numbers below are the same ones each song page gives. The rig for each song is on its own page with the sources it comes from.
A machine-gun bass riff in sixteenth notes, with distorted guitar chords crashing in over it.
Start at Gain 7, Bass 5, Middle 6, Treble 6, Presence 6, Reverb 2, with the bridge pickup.
A fast, fuzzed-up riff on the harmonic minor scale with a Bach-like opening.
Start at Gain 7, Bass 5, Middle 6, Treble 6, Presence 6, Reverb 2, with the bridge pickup.
These are positions on a generic five-knob amp with gain, bass, middle, treble and presence, each running 0 to 10. They are a starting point, not the settings used on the record, and they will not transfer unchanged to an amp with a different gain structure or EQ voicing.

|---|---|

| Plug In Baby | Custom Manson with a built-in Z.Vex Fuzz FactoryNot documented |

On a generic five-knob amp, Hysteria and Plug In Baby both start at Gain 7, Bass 5, Middle 6, Treble 6, Presence 6, Reverb 2: a starting point follows the style of the part, and these share one. These are starting points, not the settings used on the records.
Hysteria: 1962 Gibson SG (Mixdown); Diezel VH4 and Bellamy's custom Marshall (album rig). Plug In Baby: Custom Manson with a built-in Z.Vex Fuzz Factory; Not documented. Each song page lists the sources behind its rig.
Yes. What carries these sounds is the gain structure, the EQ curve, the pickup position and the order of the effects, and all four can be rebuilt on other equipment. Tonelify rewrites each starting point for the amp and guitar you own.
