Trying to hit some Gilmour sound
I have a Crush35RT. For pedals, a Hotone Blues; an EHX Metal Muff; EHX small stone phase shifter and an EHX Neo Clone. My guitar is an LTD Deluxe EC1000 with Alnico II humbuckers.
As you can figure out, I have a significant amount of gain in there. My hotone allows me to somewhat get a cleaner tone in the clean channel but it is still quite it...
Aside from buying a Strat and a Fender amp, any suggestions or a pedal you guys recommend I look into so hat I can get closer to the "Floyd sound",
Thanks
Frank

Re: Trying to hit some Gilmour sound
Without a Strat I'd find the task impossible.

Strat, ram's head Big Muff (clone), Uni-Vibe (clone), tape delay (or digital modeller, there's some awesome stuff outthere) into a fairly bright clean amp. There you go.

Well you're missing another key ingredient and that's a delay pedal. Plus everything that Foef said!

That "glassy" tone that Gilmour gets is single coil pickups, and you'd really need a Stratocaster to nail that sound.

Re: Trying to hit some Gilmour sound
Funny enough, my Vigier Expert, with the dirty channel of my RV50 with the gain AND reverb maxed pretty much nails the tone of the comfortably numb solo.
Now all that's missing is me nailing the solo.....

Re: Trying to hit some Gilmour sound
When I saw Roger Water's The Wall I noticed that Dave Kilminster was using a HSS Suhr Tele with a Floyd Rose into a Brunetti combo.
If he didn't sound like Gilmore then the difference was so subtle that I couldn't detect it.
Kind of drives home the talent over equipment argument

Re: Trying to hit some Gilmour sound
Frank, have you checked out the Squire Classic Vibe Strats, or better yet, the G&L Tribute series? Both are budget friendly and you could always upgrade the pickups on the Squire.

Re: Trying to hit some Gilmour sound
I you really felt the need to. They are pretty decent sounding in the first place - basically identical to the Tonerider p/ups (same factory).apocalypsedude wrote:Frank, have you checked out the Squire Classic Vibe Strats, or better yet, the G&L Tribute series?

I've got Fenders / Hiwatt / Strat and never manage to sound much like DG. Finger fail...!
