Yeah, that should do it.

Re: How Dave Kilminster covers David Gilmour

Every time I see overblown boards, I sense a pro tech behind the scenes.

I'm pretty sure a guy like him would naturally gravitate toward a fuzz, boost, vibe, delay, and his supreme skills. Then, someone comes in and builds it up bigger.
Gilmour probably started out the same way, then went nuts with gear thrown at him.

It's a fun dilemma, I'd imagine.

It's always fun to see the wah. Interesting that he went for a Cantrell. It's one that has a low/mid focus.

Re: How Dave Kilminster covers David Gilmour

Someone asked on Twitter if Roger dictates what to use. He said, nope, just wants it to sound right.

I thought that wah and talk box were interesting. Must be playing Pigs?

Saw The Wall tour. His tone was incredible!

Yes it was, that was a great show.

That's pretty nice. Makes me want to go check out some Strymon stuff considering how much of it is on his board.

I think one thing that a lot of people miss with Gilmour is that he doesn't use a ton of stuff at once but he has a ton of different sounds and so many songs that sound wildly different. The GigRig stuff is "affordable" compared to some of the stuff that Gilmour himself had built for him with all the programmable loops and whatnot.

But if you broke it down song by song you only need a couple pedals. Kilminster is trying to replicate the total breadth of Gilmour tones here. Having seem him with Waters he does a really kickass job of it, too.

I'm wondering what the Pitch Factor is used for...

Everything else I can pretty well imagine and account for.

Doubling?

Re: How Dave Kilminster covers David Gilmour

interesting that the fuzz is a dunlop mini germanium.

Re: How Dave Kilminster covers David Gilmour

That's the Band of Gypsys version, which isn't really a Fuzz Face, it's apparently closer to an Octavia minus the octave. (And it sounds really good!)

Re: How Dave Kilminster covers David Gilmour

Re: How Dave Kilminster covers David Gilmour

The Hendrix, BOG and Bonamassa are pretty good! I swap them out based on my mood.

I've only tried the Timeline delay pedal (the dark grey one on the left of the board), but it was the best delay pedal I've ever used.

Expensive stuff, though.
