Prodigy - Breathe (synth)

[Stringtheorist]

Can anyone offer suggestions as to how to program the Filter block for the opening riff in Breathe by The Prodigy?

I don't know if it'll help, but it may give you an idea of what kinds of things Liam does to get his sounds...

...and I'm guessing you already know that the guitar part on Breathe is a sample of the James Bond theme.

Nope, I didn't know that. I always assumed it was just a synth... Hey, this gives me that excuse to buy a Gretsch!

Seriously, what would be the best way to approach getting that sound?

Lately, I've been experimenting with feeding a guitar, rather than a human voice, into a vocoder (which makes it sound more like an instrument and less like a singing robot).
It doesn't sound exactly like Breathe, but Liam might have done something similar.
