this is how i play this damn great static-x song.any comments, corrections, suggestions are welcome.i use the ZOOM 505-II effects processor and set it up so that my guitar sounds more or less like this great band.i use 2 zoom patches for this song.
the first patch, indicated by "dist.1" in the tab has these parameters: COMP : C9 DIST : Mt GAIN : 30 EQ : 30 CONT : 0 ZNR : 9 MOD : of DEL/REV : of TIME : --
the second patch, indicated by "dist.2" in the tab has these parameters: COMP : C9 DIST : Mt GAIN : 30 EQ : 30 CONT : 0 ZNR : 9 MOD : C5 DEL/REV : H9 TIME : 10
for my amp setting, i crank the bass and treble all the way up, and the mid at 5.
Tuning: C-G-C-F-A-D
Legend: R : rest PM : palm muting HPM : heavy palm muting (mute the strings at approx. an inch from the bridge)
