Additional pedals like a Digitech Whammy (for Marooned and The Blue) and a volume pedal can be used for certain songs. A vintage style wah pedal, like a Vox Wah, can also be used for some very early Pink Floyd, such as the bird like screams you hear in the middle section of Echoes, and the wailing sounds heard on Is There Anybody Out There.įor Pink Foyd tones from Animals / The Wall / Final Cut era you need: A Ross type compressor, vintage 1970s Big Muff or vintage sounding Big Muff clone, a Colorsound Power Boost/Overdriver or similar clone, a warm sounding digital delay, and modulations like an Electric Mistress or Boss chorus, and a phaser like the MXR Phase 90 or EHX Small Stone.įor Pink Floyd tones from the Momentary Lapse of Reason, Division Bell, and Pulse era you need: A Ross type compressor like the Boss CS-2, Sovtek Big Muff or Sovtek Muff clone, BKB Tube Driver or other smooth overdrive type pedal, warm sounding digital delay, and modulation like Boss chorus and a Uvi-Vibe type pedal.

Includes: compressors, fuzz/distortions, overdrives, equalizer, flangers/chorus and other modulations, and delays. This is not a comprehensive list of every effect Gilmour ever used, just a general guide for getting the tones. I have used every one of these effects at one time or another.
Below is a guide to the basic effects gear needed to create many of David Gilmour's various lead tones as heard in Pink Floyd studio and live recordings, and David's solo work. That said, Gilmour does seem to like making it a challenge for people to figure out exactly what gear he used. WHICH PEDALS TO USE FOR THE TONE - The right gear can give you the proper voice to suit Gilmour's tones, but it is equally important to learn how to play in a similar style as him if you want to replicate his sound or incorpotrate it into your own sound.
