That tone knob trick is gamebreaking! I always approached this song with max tone and just rode the volume...but now! The tone knob is king! Great Shine On You Crazy Diamond guide! 💎 👍
Anyway @Musty , you didn't put the 3rd solo (the one in-between the two verses)... That's a damn shame, cuz that's perhaps the most epic moment in the entire song.
I got my Phase 90 a couple years ago because of Gilmour and this song has always been one of my go-to riffs when I play it as well as using it for a bunch of my own riffs and stuff, absolutely GOATed song with some of the best guitar tones of all time. Killed it as always, dude, great job
It's weird, I never usually watch your videos as i'm trying to play a certain Pink Floyd song or as i'm trying to nail a certain tone. In fact I usually watch a video before school but I take in everything that you say and apply to the next time I pick up the guitar. You're like the ultimate David Gilmour teacher
When rolling down the strat TONE pot to 4, you have to use a compressor pedal to boost the volume because of the amplitude drops in half when rolling down the strat TONE pot to 4. I think gilmour used 2 compressors pedals in series both set differently with the TONE pot set to 4.
that's a lot of information for different situations. Because, on "PULSE" he used 2 compressors, but he also used EMG pickups, which have SPC or EXG. Not a vintage style pickup tone knobs. On the other hand, I don't think Gilmour used tone knob on the original recording or he even used any pedals. He just went straight into the mixing desk. He may or may not used the tone knob, I have no idea about that. I used tone knob to simulate that sound going into the pedals and amp. I wouldn't use tone knob if I were going straight into the mixing desk too.
You're channel has been a great inspiration to me! It's AWESOME to see other people that share the love for Gilmour. I'd love to hear your take on the EHX Hot Tubes Nano. I've had one on my board for a while and would love to know what you think of it!
Great tone and tutorial! In the four note part in "Syd's theme" Gilmour also used a Leslie 147 in combination with a Fender (Dual Showman Reverb) amp, his Hiwatt amp, and the phase 90 in an open big space studio room (studio 1 Abbey Road). That's the magic trick to get the "church" "bell-like" sound of Syd's Theme: Leslie (or Leslie simulator) + Phase 90 + lots and lots of reverb (to create a big open space sound).
Now, that's probably true, I don't know how much leslie in the signal chain though, for months, I've been thinking about if there's a leslie or not, if there is, how much leslie is there? Just makes me want to spend money again, so I tend to shut my eye on the thing :D
@@mustyguitar Totally understandable! I suppose a Leslie simulator pedal (Strymon Lex, Neo Ventilator, Neo micro ventilator or more bugdet friendly options) does the trick, blending/mixing in the "Leslie" signal with the overall sound in Syd's theme + lot's of reverb and maybe delay pedal (to mimic Binson Echorec) to create a big open space sound. One can only guess how much Leslie in the signal Gilmour used. There's a lot of pictures on the net with Gilmour in studio 1 with a Leslie in the room together with Dual Showman, Hiwatt and Echorec, Bjørn Riis from Gilmourish has pictures and lots of articles and knowledge on this stuff. I tried to post a link to a picture in the comment but my comment got blocked by UA-cam. Keep up the excellent work! 👍
First saw the PastFX Power Booster on a video you did. Bought one and was blown away. Went and bought a second recently to best utilise it’s insane versatility. A terrific all around OD/smooth fuzz pedal.
You have been a great inspiration to me! 100% Credit to your videos, I have sold my Line 6 HD POD 500x digital guitar modeler and purchased many of your recommended analog pedals and my tone is now better than ever! Thank you so much for your videos! I will be retiring soon and will soon need to sell about 5 of my guitars and downgrade in size from my Marshall 1960 lead 1/2 stack and DSL 100h tube head as my wife & I will be moving from very large house into a very small 40ft 5th wheel toy hauler and hitting the road full time. I would love to see your review of the new "Fender Tone Master Pro" guitar modeler and see what kind of Gilmour tones can you get out of her? please please! I cant think of anyone else better on the planet other than David Gilmour himself to review this new product!
This song has my favorite Pink Floyd tone. I could never quite get it until I got a PowerBoost. That pedal is THE pedal for WYWH. I know you can get close with a Blues Driver or the EHX Hot Wax, but there’s nothing like the PowerBoost. It’s probably the best overdrive pedal no one outside Gilmour enthusiasts talk about. I recently upgraded my delay. A got myself a TC Alter Ego, which is a cousin of the Flashback, just with more vintage sounding delays (even the 2290 on it is modulated). It comes with an Echorec 2 setting, which nails early Floyd delays (I’m pretty sure it can be loaded onto the FlashBack through the Tone Print option). I was amazed how much that slight change from my analog delay pedal would fine tune the tone. Of course, the hard part is learning to play like Gilmour, learning the timing and getting those bends right. At the end of the day, your finger tips will be callused but you will sound awesome.
you know what? my favorite tone from pink floyd too. the cleanness, sharpness, phaser, the vocal part, it's just magic! definitely the best tone of Gilmour's career in my opinion.
The switching of the pickups is pretty common for him. Remember, he records multiple solos for his songs, and then they mix together the parts that he likes the most to build the solo in studio. So it would make sense that he would try different pickups, slightly different tones for each run. 😎👍
@@mustyguitar the SD1 is the one that has a similar circuit to the TS. The OD3 is similar to the BD2 circuit with some slight differences. I've read that Boss almost called it a BD3 but opted to label it OD3 and it got colored Yellow. Its worth checking out. Very similar side by side but less gain on tap and mellower highs.
I use a T-Rex Comp Nova compressor, a Mooer Pure Boost (RC Booster clone) or my Devtech 18v Power Booster (Coloursound clone), MXR Phase 95 (or Harmonic Tremolo), and my Keeley Echoes delay (Echorec style). I used to run a Rothwell Love Squeeze into a Boss BD-2 Blues Driver, Phase 90, Boss DD-7 or Maxon AD-9 Pro delay. That worked well but the BD-2 wasn't quite right, although with my Mooer E-Lady it's perfect for Run Like Hell. Guitars are either my Mexican Fender Deluxe Player's Strat or Epiphone SG w/Seymour Duncan P90 "Buckers" (splittable dual P90s). Amps either my Laney Cub12r and/or Fender Blues Junior IV with the Fromel mods and a L'il Texas Neo speaker. If I need more headroom, amps are HiWatt T20/10 head+Fender Bassbreaker 112 cab loaded with a Celestion V-Type and/or my Laney VC30 2x10" (UK model with the Jensens).
I have Texas Specials in my 1992 SRV Strat and in that guitar they do not sound as bright as the sounds you are getting in yours. But the SRV Strat does not have a maple neck like yours, maybe that explains it. I was thinking that in the 4 note mystery arpeggio that he used one or even two compressors to get that massive sustain he's seeming to get there.
All if any of Gilmour’s reverbs came from the mixing stage (EMT plate reverb) and mic technique (room reverb) but most of his recordings aren’t very far miked
@@classicraceruk1337 Ooooh, right... Well, SPC will give you a bit low mid frequencies, that'll darken things up a bit, but you can lower the brightness on your amp, lower the treble, increase the bass or maybe an EQ pedal to kill some high end?
Except that you can’t have delay and modulation at the same time. And the gain is better for Gilmour’s Muff tones, so more suited to Animals tones onwards. It’s a great pedal though.
For intro solo play with finges, not with guitar pick, as far as I have read Gilmour didnt usted guitar pick for that section (and for personal exp, playing with fingers give an extra opaque tone)
I just bought the CTC Hi Power.. it’s hard to not use the Hiwatt side cause it really capture the right low end and note definition that Hiwatt have. It stack very well too ! But add a bit of fuzzyness ❤
Garbage Musty - Gilmour didn't use any of the gear you suggest, except his guitar was similar (but different). Your suggestions will get people in ball park. But your video title says different. If people want to find out exactly what Gilmour used and...... also get much closer to his tones than Musty can do then go to the Gilmorish channel on UA-cam or his website
@peterhughes8699 you are of course completely correct. Obviously what everyone must have in order to nail the tone is a 'David Gilmour'. Sadly I tried to get one but apparently only one was ever made and he's not for sale. Oh well.... back to MustyGuitar's video.

you got it man! appreciate the kind words
Agree on the script Phase 90 over the block Phase 90. I’ve had a script 74 reissue for over a decade and it has never left my board.
Have you heard the extra outro guitar solo when they played live in 1977? Especially the show on July 6. It's a perfect resolve to the song.
1977 Boston is my favorite!
Great job man 👍🏼

Another BANGER, Musty!!
Top man mustafa
awesome video... I just bought a Boss OD3. I prefer it over the BD2... its like a BD2 with lest top end. Really great for solo 2
I think they are different kinds of pedals. OD3 is more like tube screamer as far as I know. Not for me, but seems like perfect for you! Cheers!

Hello Musty, I am not looking for a perfect replica of Gilmour's tone, so would a bloc version of the Phase 90 do? Thanks.

Big help sir
What gauge strings do you use? They sound pretty light.
THANKS ! as usual , very good advice. But I'm still surprised, no reverb pedal?
no reverb pedal for me.
All if any of Gilmour’s reverbs came from the mixing stage (EMT plate reverb) and mic technique (room reverb) but most of his recordings aren’t very far miked
What do you mean the Strat had rosewood fretboard? I thought it had a maple one.
Gilmour was using a rosewood fretboard at the time
@@Little_Wing69 When did he change for a full maple neck then?
@@Cthulhu_Awaken by the fall of 1978

Except that you can’t have delay and modulation at the same time. And the gain is better for Gilmour’s Muff tones, so more suited to Animals tones onwards. It’s a great pedal though.
Do u have AN idea on what delay can i use for the second delay of the intro of time?
You're supposed to use tape heads for that as far as I know. I'll do Dark Side Definitive Tone Guide in the future with more information.

Why dont you cover Fletcher Memorial solo? One of his best.

Yeah he should suggest we use a Leslie rotary speaker, vintage 70s 100w Hiwatt head and cab. Very practical and helpful guide that would be…
