From The Resistance (2009). The Resistance is the fifth studio album by the English rock band Muse, released on 14 September 2009 through Warner Bros. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Manson MA EVO through a Diezel VH4, the rig we use for Muse's other songs from The Resistance, stands in. Set the amp to a medium-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
Common Questions About the "I Belong to You" Tone
What guitar did Muse use on "I Belong to You"?
The guitar on "I Belong to You" (released 2009) isn't documented; the Manson MA EVO above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar. The track is in Drop D (D A D G B E), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "I Belong to You" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 6, Bass 5.5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "I Belong to You" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "I Belong to You" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
