Claude's Recommendations
- DRIVE: Pi Fuzz (PF) at gain 22 approximates Gilmour's EH Big Muff Pi — the key to the singing, sustained lead tone on both solos; keep gain moderate, not fully cranked.
- COMP/WAH: Compressor at depth 4 mimics the MXR Dyna Comp Gilmour used to push the signal into the fuzz and provide smooth sustain without excessive squash.
- MODULATION: Slow Chorus (rate 8, depth 4) approximates the Yamaha RA-200 rotary cabinet effect — subtle swirl that adds dimension without being obvious.
- DELAY: Digital delay at 350ms (dotted-eighth feel at ~127 BPM) with feedback 4 replicates Gilmour's trademark trailing repeats; the GEM Box's 4x12 Stack cab sim fills in for the WEM 4x12 Fane speaker character.
- PEDAL: Expression pedal controls reverb level — rock it forward for the solo climaxes to add that ethereal, infinite space Gilmour is famous for.
