Guitar sound on SOYCD

I know that he used a Les Paul in Another Brick in the wall p2, but i still think he used a strat in Money, it sounds like one, perhaps Stratman knows.

Anyway, here is some information:

Actually, on second thought - on Money he used a special 24-fret guitar to reach certain high notes for one of the solos, then I think for the others it was the Les Paul - I'm fairly sure of that..

Dave used the 24-fret Lewis guitar in Money's last solo. Otherwise, any guitar you hear on DSOTM is either a Strat or a pedal-steel.

Dave only started using Les Pauls during The Wall, as most notably heard on ABITW, Prt. II (the solo). I think he used it on the Comfortably Numb solo, too.

Lewis - right I got ABITW and the Money guitars confused, Money was indeed the Lewis and a Strat, where ABITW was where he used the Les Pauls.

Well, now hockeyfan aren't you in luck.... I happen to own exactly the same pedal...

Oddly, I don't use it for SOYCD... but firstly, what guitar and amp are you playing through, as this will have a serious effect on how close to reproducing Dave's sound you can get.

I actually have a variety of different amps at my disposal, since one of my bandmates (the drummer) has an entire recording studio loaded with equipment.

Since you have that pedal though, are there any good Floyd solo-sounds that could be emulated nicely on it? In addition, any ideas if I'd be able to do the SOYCD intro on it? Lastly, and help on what the isolator effect is for, and how/if it relates to the compressor effect? Thanks.

Well then, a Marshall amp is what you need, as big as you can get!

Em, well I increased the bass on the TALK patch, and it works quite well for the Keep Talking solo, combined with a little bit of pedal modulation...

But, I'd recommend using distortion of the Marshall amp for most solos. If you just get a clean patch (i.e. clear everything off it) and then just put the compressor on, and play that through the Marshall, and use the neck pick up on a strat, or even a Tele, and you'll get a fairly decent SOYCD sound.

All sounds good - couple questions though. How much distortion on the amp do you recommend? Also, same question with the clean patch, can you help me out on what the settings of the compressor should be? Thanks again,

How much distortion? Not a huge amount usually, fiddle about until you actually hear the sound starting to come right. On my Marshall there are two "Gain" dials, I normally set Gain1 to about 8 and Gain 2 to about 2-3.

As for the compressor settings, the best advice I can give you Im afraid is to read the manual thingy. It helps a lot. Good manual.

Is there any difference between lap steel and pedal steel guitars?

This is one of the first Gilmour tones I intentionally imitated.

I have a tiny marshall (MG15 Micro Stack), an american standard strat, and a Korg Ax1500g effects processor. I more or less clear everything off (ie, make the sound as clean as I can get it). I then set the Korg's drive modeling to compressor, turn the bass way up, the mid to about 3, and the treble to about 7.3. From there, I add adequate volume (almost enough to hurt my little amp), and set the guitar. However, I don't use the neck pickup like others on this threat (thus far). I set it to the neck/mid toggle, turn my upper tone down to about half, and my lower tone to about 8. I get a surprisingly accurate SOYCD tone with it, for both the first 2 solos. However, for the third solo, I have to do a quick change up.

I have this marshall guv'nor 2 distortion pedal (which I ADORE). I set the gain to about 2/3 the way up. Bass up to about 7, deep is off, middleis off, and treble is at around 6. I just kick it on while the Korg is still running the compressor (thus, getting a very gilmour'ish dirty-blues tone). Also on the Korg, I turn on the phaser, but just very lightly and very slow. From there, I just go to the middle pickup alone and riff'riff'galore. This seems to handle the 4-note repeating part (I don't know what else to call it), and the third solo very well.

For the rest of the song, I just turn the phaser off, and keep the dirty tone.

I went to school to learn how to make short stories long!
