I'm trying to get a nice muted sound out of Realstrat. I'm looking for the kind of sound you hear in like a Blink 182 song or Jimmy Eat World "The MIddle". Is this possible with RealStrat?

Yes, that's something I'd like to know, too. How can you create those bridge mutes which are typical for punk/rock?
You can only palm mute single notes, or did I miss something? It would be great if you were able to palm mute chords as well...

When you use powerchords in the Harmony mode, you can't use mutes indeed. However, you can play power chords in solo mode by using keyswitches to enable Harmonics > Powerchords AND mutes or bridgemutes. This way you can easily create riffs containing powerchords, muted powerchords and single notes all together.

I can't find a way to switch to Powerchords and bridgemutes once I'm in solo mode. Embarassed
The only thing I could do of course is play several keys in solo mode and bridgemute them by pressing D1. But that's not what you mean, is it?

if you want a powerchord in solo mode you need to configure a keyswitch with the intervals routine, and then select powerchord1 or 2 Smile.

Thanks. Now I got it. Very Happy

By pressing the powerchord AND the bridgemute key you get that sound.
