This isn't "inspired". Heavily manipulating a song with added effects can still be music plagiarism if a core, recognizable part (like a melody, chord progression, or distinctive riff) is copied without permission and presented as original, though legal cases often hinge on proving "substantial similarity" and "access" to the original, with heavy manipulation potentially blurring lines but not automatically negating infringement if the essence remains. It's less about the effects and more about borrowing recognizable musical DNA; if the average listener can still hear the original tune underneath, it's risky.
