shine on when i play it, i use 2nd pup position, tone back at half way clean boost, comp, and a smatter of delay, strat into 2 hiwatts in stereo with another amp as a dry in the middle. then instead of a phaser i use a rotary for the 4 note intro tone back up full, bit more delay and then a power boost for the od solos etc, outro back to intro tone (hehehe) with dual delay. easy enuf eh
Managed to find myself a good muff sound using onboard effects on the Kemper too.
Sorry, I'll remove myself now, I'm well aware this digital talk does not belong here ;-)
EDIT: I should really have prefaced all this with the fact that I've been chasing this tone for years and that I've owned a Reeves Custom 50 which cost a fuck load and a couple of Laney Lionheart's as well as a shite load of Gilmour's pedals...all costing me and arm and a bollock. So, the fact I'm now using the Kemper and ONLY the Kemper, should hopefully speak volumes of its quality and that it can do great tone and deliver Gilmour in spades, if you want it to and depending on if your fingers are up to the job (always roll my eyes at that but it's a bit true).

I am not a die hard Gilmour tone hound and I was just experimenting with the presets sounds in Guitar Rig4 when I stumbled on one that showed some potential, but as with many of GRig sounds, they can be over-gain noisy or too whimsical for anything serious. Thus many of the patches needed lifting in some way and astonishingly, adding in even MORE distortion/gain and modulation from external pedals didn't result in a swamp - it actually improved it 100% resulting in this case, that glorious Live at Pompei 2016 sound and ambience exactly. Inexpensive pedals but top quality sounds and performance. The PROEL is a clean boost even though is labelled distortion.

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Another thing that gets close - but shouldn't - is an Ibanez RG321 with an EMG-H in the neck position and the -SPC booster again.
I appreciate the last two equations in the chain help but I think it emphasises its more about how it is played rather than what its played through.
It's not quite perfect, Rams Head Muff has slightly too much gain for me, Skreddy clone is great but a little edgy for later Gilmour tones.
For the cleaner boosted tones, I use a Durham Sex Drive clone or an ODR-1 clone with the gain down. That tone is do-able with lots of things, I think. Zendrive also does it with the gain down.
