For me nailing Gilmour's sound is first and foremost about getting as close as possible his string bends and touch. The tone is secondary, yet seems to be what people obsess over. Gilmour is the master of the string bend - it's everything in his playing.

100% spot on.

Gassage

Intro: 104ms (or accurately, 310 into 370 into 430- Binsen 3 heads- but 104 works fine) with loads of mix and repeats.

Verse:
A very mild OD or EQ (Colorsound PB or Tube Driver or a TS808), slow vibe, analog delay 370ms, set to normal mix and repeats.

Lead: Distortion (FF on oringal, RAT is fine), vibe, delay.

HAve the amp EQ set ^

As others have said, phrasing and the little nuances are the key- great example is when you get to the second part of the solo (G and B string bendy bits with the double stop) you slide up to the first note of that phrase from B on the G string (4th fret) to A on the G (14th fret).

(You can also do the clock ticks on a bass- palm mute the strings with your fretting hand near the neck pup and pluck the D and G strings...)

Gassage

Mark,

Here's Time from the last Albert Hall gig this year- you can hear the multi tap delay on the lead at the start.

The distortions are mild tube driver for verse, Sovetk Muff for the lead.

@Gassage ;

Thank You, that is as ever, amazing info .
I will do my best with what i have.

Gassage

To be honest, all you need is dirt, vibe, delay.

Alnico

104ms,

isn't that like slapback? Or is that it, is it slapback with lots of repeats?

Gassage

Yes- listen to track above. The slap back is swtiched off at 2.00.

I believe there's 8 repeats, very high mix.

Alnico

Listening now.
I get it and i never would have heard that on my own.
Thanks.

Hey, Kilimanjaro is massive !
Who knew ?

lol

I never heard it until I was literally next the the bloody amp at the first gig last yr.

It's going to take as long to get the playing bit as it will to get the effects together, i have the OD and Delay, Fuzz incoming.
I am going to have to get a vibe effect from somewhere (again, waiting for the keeley Dark Side) but i'll work on it.

Thanks again everyone, loads to work with here.

A phaser or chorus is fine too.

Indeed this is me, many years ago though! Cheers for the mention!

I hadn't considered a phaser for the Time Solo.

I'll look into that.
I'm getting a Keeley Dark Side but not until after Easter so i can see a phase 90 of some description coming in soon as a stand-in and then as a switchable option later on.
I'm told Script Logo is the one ?

Phaser is great for many Gilmour solos but not this one - it's just Fuzz & Delay, the phaser merely made it into the photo (for no good reason)

@Alnico - mate Im flattered to be quoted in such illustrious company, but I can't really help you... as Im not a Gilmour fan per se, and actually think he is a little bit cack

Seriously, @Jonathanthomas83 and @gassage are the ones in the knowledge here !

You'd be better asking me about Weller, Marr and curry sauce & chips...

Brother? Is that you? 

CustomPedalBoards

i play this live (well being in a PF trib band eh!) for the intro, try 2 delays into each other, keep it clean, just delay nothing else = sounds great, doesnt have to be to high in the mix. depends on amp etc, goes without saying strat i use 2 position, gives it a nice twang.

Answer your phone you daft Taff.

Have you tried a Keeley dark side? Do so before you buy.

Alnico

I haven't tried the Dark Side myself no. 
Ive watched demos and it looks and sound great. 

Is there something I should know ?

Teetonetal

The fuzz side did nothing for me at all.
BTW they just released a version 2 of the pedal that puts a switch in for switching pedal order.
I just always feel that any multi needs to be tried - so often there is a bit that annoys.
