    I live in a house around other houses, making driving my amp to get the most out of my Ï€ really hard. I was thinking though, for a Gilmourish tone, would a Sovtek to Mistress to Muff’n work?

    I’d still stick the flanger after the dirt boxes. You’re going to need some delay too though…
    (And for Echoes-era Gilmour you’ll need a non-TB Clyde McCoy-derived wah with the cables plugged in backwards for the seagull noises :D )

    In case you guys aren’t aware of this site…everything you could ever expect to find out about Gilmour from a Norwegian guy who has done LOTS of research…

    Gilmourish.com

    Yes, i was going to suggest Gilmourish.com also. it’s a very scary site. this guy is a dedicated genius.

    however, put in mind that you’re not david gilmour. meaning, that there’s nothing that says that you have to play with the same exact tone. theoritically, you can never achieve this. the voice you hear on a record is the result of so many variables, down to the nature of fingers.

    but, trying to reach a particular tone does teach one a great deal about the gear, and should ultimately lead you to ways of using those toys to get sounds that you have in your head.

    i’m not that steeped in the arcane knowledge of guitar pedals, but usually i try to look for a sound that i like, feel comfortable playing with and sounds good for that particular song.

    i hope this helps in anyway.
